Personality and Characterization

Nicki Fleming is a ten-year-old girl living outside of Denver, Colorado. She is the oldest daughter of their two parents; she has a younger brother, Adam, and her mother is expecting twins. Her family owns a ranch called the "Twilight Ranch" where they raise pigs for slaughter; they also keep horses as pets. Nicki lives far enough from Denver that it is considered a distant trip to go. She also lives far enough out that she and her brother are the first people on the bus to school in the morning and the last two off in the afternoon.

Before Nicki was born, her mother trained service dogs. Her mother was planning on taking on a new dog but learned that she was pregnant with twins and was going to have to restrict her activities. Nicki is not very good at standing up for herself and refusing to do what people ask of her, even at her own detriment; it is her reluctance to say no that result in her taking on the training of Sprocket and getting involved in the planning of the gala celebration.

Nicki is an artist and skier. She is a very responsible, compassionate girl. She loves her family and her dog. After she gets involved in the gala and Sprocket, she wishes she could say no, but she just can't.

After her mother has twins, Nicki gets to name them, so she chooses Rebecca and Kristine, after her best friends, Becca and Kris.
