BACKGROUND:
TW: ABUSE, DEATH, ADOPTION.
If asked about her parents, she'd tell you she was a product of entrapment. Her mother 27 at the time, set her eyes on an up and coming military man, 19, fell in love, got pregnant, and married. The marriage only lasted 3 years.
For the first 10 years of Nika's life, she was mainly in her mother's custody as her father was over seas serving. Her mother would not be her protective and would allow a variety of different things to happen to her as a young age.
One day Nika would tell her teacher, and this would result in her being taken from her parents custody. Her father, who only found out then, as well, had been livid.
For the next year, while her dad finished up his time in the military, Nika would find herself staying with her cousins and uncle.
Once her father retired, she would go home to live with him. Despite how much time they spent apart because of his career, she still loved him and didn't blame him for anything her mom did.
At 16, her dad would meet and marry a woman by the nice of Grace. They would proceed to go on and have two kids together, a set of twins they'd name Ezra and Iris. Along with her half siblings came a step brother from Grace's previous marriage; Miles.
When she graduated high school, she immediately knew she wanted to go into law, to serve and to protect. And that's what she would do. She would become a machine that raise through the ranks, becoming a well respected detective.
At 29, she'd come to meet a woman who would change her life in ways she never thought. A victim who was going through a hard time, hanging with the wrong group, sold to do the wrong things. Nika would try her best to get her out safe, and when this woman fell pregnant with her son, Zander, she thought that would be the pushing force.
Unfortunately, a month after the baby was born, Abby, would be found brutally murdered. Chipping something away at Nika as she considered this woman a friend, family -- she had been working on solving this case, and would make the decision to proceed with adoption of a now 10 month old Zander.
