Name/Nicknames ||
Chardonnay Charity Nicholas. She has no real nickname that she goes by, or at least not any that are affectionate or cute in any way. She more often than not gets called 'Princess' by Arthur that she goes by only because she kind of has to, but no one normally calls her anything other than her name.
Age/Birthday ||
July 15th. She is eighteen years old
Reputation ||
Throughout the course of her high school career at Metric High School of the Arts, Chardonnay was known as the ‘spoiled princess’ of the school. She was the one who everyone knew about yet was not well liked. In a way, she could have been considered to be the ‘Queen Bee’ type, the one who expected people to bow at her feet and do what she said when she asked, or demanded really. It was easy to see that she was not well liked, however there were people who blindly followed her around in order to be ‘popular’.
The incident that happened to her, her junior year of high school when she ended up getting stuck in the supply closet in the gym with Arthur Summers continued to follow her around, much to her disdain, however after a while the whispered words of what happened died down and everyone, for the most part, either forgot about it or didn’t care. It was still a tale that was told, however, during the time of the dance every year at the school.
Job ||
None. Please, do you honestly expect her to have a job while she’s in school?

School and Class ||
Chardonnay attends Metric College and is going into her freshman year.
Major ||
Culinary Arts with a minor in business
Friend(s) ||
Due to her lack of a good personality and her general lack of trust for most people, Chardonnay really has no friends. The only person she may consider a little bit of a friend, though she hardly associates with him much and calling him a friend is a bit of a stretch, is Chad Richardson.
Enemies/Rivals ||
Arthur Summers, plain and simple. Despite how their interactions with one another had gone down considerably after they became seniors in high school, she still has a sense of hatred for who he is and what he stands for. Even the sight of him is enough to set her nerves on fire with irritation and frustration. The incidents in the past that they’ve had with one another certainly had a lot to do with her opinion of him.

Amy O’Neil. While she may not consider the girl to necessarily be her enemy, Chardonnay still doesn’t like the girl for the sheer fact that she had been the one to spread the rumors about her and Arthur two years ago. She still never got over that, never will forgive the girl for that, and hopes to not have much communication with her even despite the fact that they live in the same suite with one another.
Sexuality ||
Heterosexual.
Relationship Status ||
Single.

Height/Body Type ||
Chardonnay is 5’5” and has a relatively good build to her body. With curves here and there, she makes sure that she doesn’t get too heavy, yet she doesn’t want to be too skinny. She eats well enough for herself and takes care of her body for fear of becoming overweight like her father and like many other chiefs out there in the world. After all, she still wants to look pretty!
Hair color ||
Dark brown and a reaches a few inches past her shoulder. She still keeps her hair in the style that she had it in high school, only occasionally changing it when the time deems it worthy.
Eye color ||
A sort of greenish blue color, however the green coloring in her eyes normally takes over the appearance. She wears make up on a daily basis, however she never cakes herself with it. Only does she use it in a tasteful manner, one that helps bring out her features better.
Clothing style ||
Just as she always has been, and probably always will be, Chardonnay will always go for the expensive looking clothes, as well as clothes that are expensive. She takes note of what is in fashion at the time and what is not, always buying what is in fashion and throwing out what is no longer in style. She likes to wear dresses when she can most of all, or skirts when the weather deems is appropriate, and more often than not you will see her wearing heels that match the outfit that she is wearing.
Never will you see her wear an outfit twice.
For when she cooks eve her chief clothing is more to her style; with her own personal outfit, she has it fitted for her and has extra designs put on it to make it, as she says, unique.
Ethnicity ||
Caucasian with a little bit of Italian in her from her mother.
Playby ||

Family ||
Father – Thomas Nicholas – Owner of his own restaurant- Chef || In regards to which parent Chardonnay is closest too, she is certainly a lot closer to her father than she is her mother. Despite the fact that he was always gone and away to work when she was younger, Chardonnay always found herself more drawn to the man, and he took every chance he could to let his daughter know that he loved her, despite the fact that he was hardly around. He gave her everything she wanted, never said no, and always let her buy something if she wanted to. He spoiled his daughter to the point where she expected to get things from him just about every time she saw him. But despite all of that, and despite the fact that he probably ruined his daughter, he’s still a good guy.
He owns his own restaurant that has become world renowned, and more often than not he cooks a lot of the meals that are taken out to the customers. By the time that Chardonnay was able to start following him along to work, he showed her the world of cooking and of all that she could do with it and all of what he was willing to give her if she so wished to have it once she grew to be old enough or once he grew too old to take care of the place. He heavily believes in charity and will, more often than not, find himself giving things to people in order to help them. This is something that Chardonnay doesn’t understand about him, because why would he throw his money to people who doesn’t deserve it or people who don’t work for their own? He has tried to instill the goodness of helping others in his daughter, though accomplishing that task was much harder to do than he had originally expected, even to this day.
Mother – Olivia Patricia Nicholas – Stay at home mom/Housewife || While she used to be a cosmetologist, when she married Thomas and he assured her that he didn’t want her working because he wanted to take care of her, she quickly stopped work and stayed at home. Chardonnay grew up with this woman all her life, and, just like her husband, Olivia did everything she could to show her daughter that she loved her by giving her what she wanted and spoiling her like the little princess her and her husband continued to call her. But she loved what she did; while shortly after her marriage and after quitting work she had grown quite bored of her life except when she and Thomas would take expensive trips out of the country to go on vacation and bask in their love with one another, however after having Chardonnay she loved being a stay at home mom.
She refused to let a nanny raise her daughter so she took the role with full force. More often than not Chardonnay will go to her mother to complain about something, especially about her father, but otherwise they just generally talk with one another. While Chardonnay is closer to her father, she still loved her mother and is fond of the woman.
Backstory ||
While Thomas and Olivia had been planning on having kids at some point after they married one another, they hadn’t expected to have a child as quickly as they had- only five months after they were married, or at least that was when Olivia became pregnant. But they took the news of the pregnancy with stride, with happiness, and went along with it. Apparently it was just destined, Thomas used to say, for them to have a family so quickly. But because of the fact that the baby had been the product of her parents getting a little more than tipsy over a bottle of Chardonnay (or two or three), they decided that they would name their daughter that after finding out that they were going to be having a little girl. So, that was how Chardonnay came to be and how she got her name.
Her mother stayed at home and raised her since she no longer worked, and while Thomas was gone to the restaurant most of the time he did everything he could to let his daughter know that he was still around, loved her, and wasn’t abandoning her. When he would go on a trip he would bring something back for her, when she asked for something he would bend over backwards to get it for her, and he always told her that he loved her at every chance that he could. Olivia and Thomas knew that it probably hadn’t been the best way to raise their daughter, but what else could they really do? They were afraid to have a daughter that would grow up hating them because they told her no and because they didn’t get her what she wanted despite the fact that they were more than well enough off to get her what she wanted.
But as Chardonnay grew, Thomas finally started taking her to the restaurant, and he finally started letting her be around him in the kitchen. It wasn’t long after that, at the time when Chardonnay was seven, that they figured out that the girl had a talent for a knife and had the taste buds of a true chef, or critic. She dove into the culinary world at a young age at that point, always going with her father to his work so that she could watch him and help him and so that she could learn from him. And as time went on, she started becoming more involved.
When she was finally at the age where she could walk freely around the kitchen she started pulling things here and there around the kitchen to start making things herself, following recipes that she could find and even creating a few of her own, some of which had even gone to the restaurant and were still on the menu to that day. And when she was at the age of thirteen she declared to her parents, especially her father, that one day she was going to take over the restaurant, make it better than it was now, and become one of the best chefs in the world and nothing was going to stop her in her endeavors in making that dream become a reality.
Thomas had been more than happy to find that out, and by the time it was time for her to enter into high school he got her into Metric High School of the Arts, a school that he figured would be good for her so that she could mingle around with other people and not just people in her field of work. In the beginning, Chardonnay hated the school. She wanted to go to an all cooking school because she felt as if it would be better for her and because she felt as if she would be taken more seriously over there. But her father, and mother, for once in their lives didn’t relent on their decision to have her go there.
Chardonnay digressed in the decision and went about her way, however. While she hardly made friends at the school, she did make a name for herself in the place, one that she was not ashamed to have. She wanted to leave her mark, after all, and what better way to do that? She hopes to make a lasting impact of her name at the college as well.
