At the lowest point of the spiral that had begun when Dorian left her, Nikarra unknowingly found herself being served by him in Ta-Koro, during his tenure as a bartender.

Nikarra is a Toa of Lightning, and an ex-Mark Bearer of Lust. She's also an ex-girlfriend of the Ladykiller himself, and an ex-Sloth of the short-lived Toa Daedra revival. What is she currently? The hell if she knows.

Biography

Arc 1

Nikarra languished in relative obscurity as the far cooler sister of Incommodo, right up until the day she met Dorian, and everything changed. Seduced (very willingly) into aiding Bad Company's heist of her cousin's casino, The Final Problem, her time with Dorian led to her becoming the Mark Bearer of Lust. This development created a feedback loop Dorian was all too ready to take advantage of, once it became clear that each Mark Bearer's days were numbered by the degree to which they indulged their Mark - and that they could give their time to one another. Their thrilling romance, however, was not to last, and Nikarra struggled with being left in Dorian's wake, developing an unhealthy attachment to him and following him closely around Mata Nui.

Arc 2

At the lowest point of the spiral that had begun when Dorian left her, Nikarra unknowingly found herself being served by him in Ta-Koro, during his tenure as a bartender. Rather than allow her to drink herself into an early grave, Dorian - out of guilt for his past treatment of her - helped her to get back on her feet, and they began to form a friendship. This too was ill-fated, as Nikarra met a man named Malik, claiming to be Dorian's brother and the sole survivor of the Shaddix family, the rest having (according to him) been killed by Dorian himself. Her faith in her only friend shaken, Nikarra began to spiral again, reaching her all-time low by joining the Daedra.

Her stint as Sloth was short, and characterised largely by the realisation that she was not nearly as vicious or messed up as anyone around her - a realisation that was accompanied by a growing optimism, kindled by Dorian back in Ta-Koro. She found a kindred spirit in Vyartha (at the time, Pride), and began to develop feelings for her; however, their relationship ended before it had even begun, when Nikarra chose to leave the Daedra and set out to find her own path. Her own path, it turned out, led back to Dorian.

Nikarra joined up with Dorian during the latter part of Arc 2, witnessing Joske's death at the hands of Echelon, but - like everyone else - was left behind by Dorian when he set out for his journey into Mangaia.
