Who is Nicole?

Curious and adventurous at heart, Nicole is fascinated with the world of art - particularly with things hidden from plain sight. She's in love with mythical stories that seem to be impossible. And yet, through the decisions she makes, she has the ability to make the impossible, possible. 

But with all that curiosity and courage, Nicole is by no means "perfect", if that even exists. She tends to mind people's business, especially if she hears gossip about someone stealing a painting; gets people infuriated by asking tons of questions, as a good detective does; and sometimes, she finds herself in trouble due to not following rules, rules that she likes to challenge with reason.  

But the stories she hears and experiences she lives, the ones we know of from the writing on these pages, make her the best art detective in the world.
