In terms of personality it appears that Nicelle has had a dramatic shift in her outlook during her adventures throughout [[Scadrial]]. While always prone to explore the out reaches of society she was self admittedly not very brave, being fearful of even interacting with a strange figure she saw along her travels.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|The House Record broadsheet}} Upon being discovered by [[Jak]] and published under his brand name however it seems that this fearfulness began to leave her slowly, to the extent that she showed little hesitance in charging at [[Nazh]] in order to prevent him from taking a map she needed for one of her adventures.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}} Over the ensuing five years her interest in exploring the rest of Scadrial and the [[Cosmere]] only grew until finally she was excited at the prospect of exploring it all.{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Sauvage is a [[leecher]] granting her the ability to remove [[investiture]] from objects so long as she can touch it whilst burning her metal. As well as this she claims that she was trained under [[Baz-Kor]] monks who trained her specifically on how to fight in order to get close enough to use her abilities against an opponent, as well as this the training gave her insight on general self defence techniques. As a child she was also trained in ballet, something which she claims helps her achieve feats of alethicism in the present time.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}} Over time Nicelle also came to learn about the wider Cosmere and developed an understanding of its workings, even if rudimentary.{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}}
== History ==
Nicelle Sauvage was born at an unknown date, she was raised as a noble woman in [[New Seran]] and was eventually trained in self defence under the tutelage of Baz-Kor monks and also ballet. Her family eventually came into possession of Pinecone Allomouser the Third.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}}{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|The House Record broadsheet}}
During this time it seems Nicelle developed a habit of exploring the Roughs surrounding the basin, one of her trips eventually took her towards the southern mountains, during that journey she was separated from her peers. At the time she did not know what their faith was and considered it a real possibility that they had died. While by herself she eventually came upon a clearing in the mountains which contained a pool inside of it, emerging from the pool was a "dark figure" whose only discernible features was that of their eyes. Fearful Nicelle abandonded the location and hiked an hours away from the pool before setting up camp. Eventually she managed to return to civilisation where she then recalled her story to the local broadsheets.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|The House Record broadsheet}}

Over the following year tales of her adventures eventually reached the ear of Jak and it was agreed for her to start publishing her tales in a serialized nature under his brand name. During this time she was advertised as a '''Paranatural Detective''' by Jak. Eventually her father, Stefan, passed away and left Nicelle an inheritance which included a map of the city. Allegedly this map also contained a secret pocket which contained instructions on how to discover a lost form of beings created by the [[Lord Ruler]] known only as the [[Kalkis]]. Before Nicelle could retrieve these instructions however the map was stolen off her by [[Nazh]]{{wob ref|7415}} wearing a mistcloak as a disguise, during the ensuing struggle Nicelle managed to steal one of Nazh's devices and pocketed it while Nazh himself ran away towards a nearby Gondola. Not wanting to lose him Nicelle gave chase and managed to jump onto the side of the gondola and cling on just as it departed from its dock. Whilst clinging on Nicelle glanced inside and saw Nazh fiddling with a glowing device, one she presumed was to provide his means of escape. Panicked Nicelle grabbed hold of the device she stole from Nazh and rammed it into the gondola door's causing an explosion, destroying the door and releasing a [[cognitive shadow]]. It is unknown if the device Nicelle used unleashed the shadow or if Nazh shot it at her using his gun like Nicelle presumed. If the latter Nazh was not intending to kill her with the shot.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}}{{wob ref|7415}}
With the door now removed Nicelle entered the gondola proper and saw it was littered with a variety of Nazh's devices. He pulled a gun of unknown function on her causing her reflexes to kick in, swiftly she approached him and used her leecher abilities to drain the device of its investiture. Upon seeing this Nazh panicked and tried to take aim again but this time Nicelle kicked the gun out of his hand and let it plummet off the gonadola. While he was distracted Nicelle grabbed hold of the map, before she could take it however Nazh grabbed onto his side of it. The pair wrestled for control over it, all the while insulting one another, until eventually Nazh fell out of the gondola, Nicelle offered a truce to try and pull him up but Nazh declined and instead opted to cut the map in half causing him to plummet. After confirming her half of the map had the needed clue Nicelle travelled down to where Nazh should have landed but found no evidence of him there nor witnesses to him. While searching she bumped into [[Hoid]]{{wob ref|1702}} who offered to tell her a story which she declined. Upon reaching home she immediately consulted the map for the next clue on her journey.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}}
During the six following years Nicki eventually served as Jak's assistant for a brief period, she would consider it one of the strangest times in her life, and then became an independent adventurer again. During these ventures she befriended two [[kandra|faceless immortals]] named [[Kesun]] and [[Tabaar]] who later became her travelling companions, together they went on many ventures with one involving Tabarr having to disguise himself as a Koloss. She met the Haunted Man many more times as well throughout her travels, to the extent that Nicki counted him as one of her adventuring companions, and they made a promise with each other to explore the Cosmere together. Their relationship slowly took on a romantic tension.{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}} Following a public dispute between Jak and his sidekick Handerwym, Sauvage would decide to continue under Handerwym's brand, her newer stories contained comments making fun of Jak's stories and she was more open to allowing Handerwym to edit her work.{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}}

=== Nazh ===
Nicelle and [[Nazh]] originally met when the latter tried to steal a part of her inheritance, a map of [[New Seran]] given to her by her father. During this altercation the pair originally fought one another which ended with Nazh dangling out of the gondola they were in, Nicelle attempted to reach down and save his life but he rejected the offer. Though quite angry with him over the theft of the map Nicelle admitted that she found Nazh quite attractive, calling the timbre of his voice enjoyable and stating that she enjoyed remembering his face.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}}

▲Eventually Nicki's travels got her involved in finding a 'Compass of Spirits' which she believed was central to saving [[scadrial]], the compass possessed the ability to send one to the 'Ghost Dimension.' Whilst attempting to reach their destination one of Nicki's rivals, [[Vila Mecant]], stole the compass but forgot to take the key with her. Quickly Nicki moved to hand the key to the device to Nazh so that he could keep it away from Vila while Nicki persuaded her two companions to merge together into a bird. With this done they gave chase to Vila and Nicki fought her off, managing to retrieve the compass in the process. Afterwards she spoke to Nazh who held her and then moved in for a kiss before stealing the compass off Nicki, he apologised before disappearing to the Ghost Dimension. Realising the betrayal Nicki was hurt and panicked realising that there was no way for them to locate Nazh, concluding their quest was lost. KeSun and Tobarr however stopped Nicki and told her that there was another way to enter the ghost dimension that they had never told her about.{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}}
