Personality

Story
When Myne found out that she had to stay in the temple over winter, she had Fran ask her chefs if any were willing to stay as well. Ella was willing to stay however Hugo and Todd chose not to. Myne asked Rosina to have Wilma recommend two grey apprentice shrine maidens to help Ella. Monika and Nicola were recommended and spent the winter cooking with Ella. They did this partially so that Myne would learn who they were and taken them on as attendants. After Myne dismissed Delia from her service, Fran asked Myne to consider taking on a new attendant so she had someone to direct her compassion towards. Myne chose to take on both Monika and Nicola as they were both capable but Myne did not feel right only choosing one.

Nicola predominantly works in Rozemyne's kitchen or serving food and drinks.

Spoiler for Part 4 Volume 2 When Rozemyne attends the Royal Academy, Nicola acompanies her as an assistent cook for Ella. She stays at the academy, even when Rozemyne is recalled to Ehrenfest for the Dedication Ritual and takes Ella back with her.
