Name: Nichole Matthews (Cole or Nick)
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Race: Human/Andalite (appears human)
Personality: She's a nice girl. The type that, while she would love to tell you exactly what you can do with -insert object/offer here-, will smile and shake her head. She's selectively dependent, meaning that most of the time she doesn't like to have people offer their help, but the few times she wants help and no one offers it, she gets annoyed.
She's into sci-fi, fantasy, and pretty much anything that may or may not have anything to do with reality. Do not get her started on Star Trek. You have been warned.
She's also fairly strong for a girl, but often forgets this and wonders why other girls can't do "simple tasks" like starting a lawnmower.
Her favorite thing, though, is morphing, because it's one of the few things she's fast at, even though it makes her feel a bit more run-down than others who morph slower. She is not an estreen, though. Far from it.
Family: Her father is Cahrorli-Illurid-Maratew (Charles Matthews) and her mother is Lynn Matthews. Her cousin is Tiamate Morgan.
Appearance or Pictures: Standing at about 5'2", this strangely flexible unprofessional ballet dancer is built like the proverbial brick house. Her long, curly brown hair is usually seen thrown up in a big, poofy ponytail that looks more like a giant fuzz ball attached to the back of her head than a ponytail.
She's a big fan of the gothic style, especially corsets, and now that she's away from the house, she is often seen in jeans and a black corset or t-shirt, and afformentioned three week old jeans.
Background: Her father, Cahrorli, was a young Andalite when his father was assigned to a small, not very known project to study humans. The Andalites feared that the Yeerks would find them soon, if they hadn't already, and decided to make a study of them to see how far advanced they were and what threat they may or may not pose to the Andalite people as hosts.
His father, his mother, he, and a few other Andalites made the trek to Earth. There, they began to integrate themselves into human society, to better study them. Cahrorli, however, was homeschooled by his father, the scientist, and his mother, the cloud artist. He was about ten in human years when they arrived.
He was about seventeen when the Andalites decided they had gathered enough information on humans and their behaviors and decided that Cahrorli and his family could come home.
However, Cahrorli, who, when he was older, had finally been allowed to study human children for his father, had found himself in love with a foreign student from America named Lynn. They were madly in love, and Cahrorli wanted her to become his mate. Even though she had turned down his proposal, they continued a strange ritual called "dating" for the next year. Cahrorli managed to convince his father that he needed to study this further to "better understand human rituals and mating ceremonies."
The Andalites reluctantly agreed to let Cahrorli continue this study. And when Lynn went back to the states, he tried dating other females. He even tried a "long-distance relationship" with a few Andalites, but for some reason, he found himself more drawn to Lynn. He found reasons to go to America and visit her. During one of those visits, he finally showed her his true form. She fainted.
A few days later, she called him and said she'd like to see him again. Hopefully without fainting "this time".
After four years, the Andalites decided Cahrorli had made an adequite study of humans and demanded he come home. He responded by proposing marrage to Lynn, who finally accepted the proposal. They were married, despite what the Andalites said. So, he was forced to sever all communications with the Andalite people.
Having grown up with an Andalite as a father in England, Nichole was used to hearing things about how great the Andalite race was, ect. She was also exposed to a lot of technology that no human had seen before, like the blue box.
One of the only reasons she has the morphing power is because she discovered it one day in her father's drawer while looking for cool coins that her father collected when she was about seven. Fearful and embarrassed when it shocked her, she kept the event to herself. When she was about twelve, she accidentally aquired and morphed her siamese. It was then that she confessed to having found the blue box and held it multiple times. Her father, realizing that nothing could be done, told her that she was only to use it in an emergency.
He then explained about the war with the Yeerks and about what they could do. However, the Yeerk movement wasn't terribly strong at that point, so Cahrorli was unaware of it at the time, since he had not communicated with his people in years.
Then two years ago, two space ships that had been interlocked crashed in her backyard.
One ship housed an Andalite and the other housed the only known surviving Pemalite and the only known violent Chee. As it turned out, the Andalite had been heading for their house anyway, but that is her story to tell.
Later on, a boy named Ty accidentally ran into them, and he was made a part of their little group of misfits. It was through him that they discovered the threat of the Yeerks on Earth.
It wasn't long after that that the new Visser Academy went under construction and, almost overnight, was built.
Her father sent off applications for the girls--and Ty--to attend the school. They were recently accepted.

Cole breathed through her nose as she prepaired for the morph. No matter how many times she did it, nothing was quite as gross as morphing into a very large thingyroach.
She began the morph, closing her eyes so she didn't accidentally see it. No matter how fast she was, it was just too gross to watch. And somehow speed made it seem even worse.
She could feel her insides changing, becoming the organs of the roach. She felt her face and mouth become that of the roach's. Her eyes became those of the bug's, complete with the antenna.
She was a 5'2" human with antennas, bug eyes, bug arms, bug mouth, bug guts...It was just disgusting.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, she shrank and her skin hardened. She had made the transition to roach.
<Now to see what my cous is up to,> she thought to herself, speeding off to the kitchen to evesdrop on a conversation between her and someone who had really freaked the older girl out.
