Nichole Daniels is a female fourth-grade student at South Park Elementary. She first appears in the Season Sixteen episode, "Cartman Finds Love". Starting with Season Seventeen, she has made numerous appearances since. She is Tolkien Black's girlfriend.
Background[]
Nichole is the new girl at South Park Elementary, much to the happiness of the male students, especially Eric Cartman. Cartman, hates miscegenation and decides that this is an opportinity for Tolkien Black to have a girlfrien, because they are both black. Cartman begins a plan to have the two brought together.
Nichole, initially showing interest in Kyle Broflovski, Cartman, fueled by his distate for interracial relationships, was determined to get Tolkien and Nichole together. Because of Cartman's meddling, Nichole started to like Tolkien, after being locked in the boy's locker room with him for several hours by Cartman. Nichole and Tolkien formed a strong relationship, until she read the engraving Cartman had put on the tag of one of the stuffed bears from Tolkien. Unbeknownst to Tolkien, the engraving from Cartman read, "'Cuz Blacks Belong Together", which caused Nichole to break up with him, believing they were not on the "same page".
Realizing that Nichole was now "available", Kyle begins a relationship with her, taking her to a basketball game featuring the Denver Nuggets against the L.A. Clippers. At the game, Cartman sings "I Swear" to Kyle, much to his embarrassment. This causes Kyle to reveal to Nichole that Cartman was the one that set up her and Tolkien. After hearing this, Nichole runs into Tolkien at the game, they reconcile their relationship, and decide to get back together.
Appearance[]
Nichole wears black shoes, magenta pants, a white shirt, and a yellow jacket. She has black hair, styled into two buns, and wears two yellow barrettes with pink flowers on them. Sometimes, when she is outside, she wears a pair of pink mittens. According to a ranting Wendy, she has minor puffiness in her eyes.
Nichole is on the cheerleading squad; she wears the typical South Park Cows cheerleading attire, which consists of a black and white dress with the word "cows" embroidered in the front. While cheerleading, she also wears yellow and pink barrettes, although occasionally she wears two ribbons instead.
In South Park: Post Covid, she is seen as an adult woman. She is a very beautiful woman with pronounced cheekbones, full lips applied with lipstick, a pink buttoned shirt, a yellow jacket, and white pants. In addition, she appears with slightly straightened hair.

Personality[]
Nichole is shown to be nice, amiable and sympathetic. She understands Cartman's claims that he and Kyle were in a relationship in "Cartman Finds Love", and despite having a crush on the latter, offers them support. Nichole also appears to get easily embarrassed, as seen when she replies with an "Oh no" and an embarrassed look on her face when Cartman talks to her about about her (former) attraction to Kyle, and when she saw Tolkien dressed in a towel and runs (or tries to) out the room. She appears to take playful teasing very well. She has also shown to be discreet, being careful in her words and actions not to offend anyone.
She is also determined, following through with the girls plan to break up with their boyfriends in "S**** Hunt", to get back at them for S****hunt42's wrongdoings. She helps Annie convince Wendy to do the same, further stating that without all the girls committing, their plan is meaningless.
She may be among the most well behaved children of South Park, as she has yet to lie, cheat, break a law, or any other form of bad behavior, willingly, so far in the series. She did take part in sighing in an exasperated way at Lisa Berger in "The Hobbit".
She is romantic. She has had romantic interests for Kyle and Tolkien, and many of the boys in the school were interested in her, before and after photoshopping herself in "The Hobbit".
Interactions[]
Tolkien Black[]
Nichole and Tolkien meeting in the boys locker room.
Nichole and Tolkien began their relationship with each other after Cartman locked them inside of the boys locker room for hours. Their relationship grew stronger, as they were both seen on several dates and visiting amusement parks together. Their relationship was later disrupted by gift from Cartman, that said "Blacks Belong Together". Nichole broke up with Tolkien. After Kyle revealed that Cartman was behind it, Nichole and Tolkien reconciled their relationship.
In "S**** Hunt", Nichole breaks up with Tolkien due to the actions of internet troll S****hunt42; the girls believed that his actions spoke for all the boys.
In "Dead Kids", Nichole tells Cartman that she and Tolkien have started to re-kindle their relationship. Keeping things on the low and just talking for now.
Eric Cartman[]
Cartman has good terms with Nichole. In "Cartman Finds Love", he tries to make her to fall in love with Tolkien which is a success after he locked both her and Tolkien at the Locker's Room. In "Dead Kids" he goes to talk to her to get information about Tolkien. Nichole only reveals that she is back with him but refuses to give any more information.
Despite this, in "Board Girls" Cartman tries to get rid of her and Tammy from the Dice Studz since the club was made up of only boys.
Kyle Broflovski[]
Nichole and Kyle both formed a mutual attraction to one another shortly after she arrived at school. However, when Cartman told her he and Kyle were in a homosexual relationship, she chose to back off out of respect; despite this, she still attempted to befriend Kyle. After she briefly ended her relationship with Tolkien, Kyle took her to a basketball game, but any chance of a potential relationship brewing was once again thwarted due to Cartman's intervention. She and Kyle have scarcely interacted afterwards, but it can be presumed they are on friendly terms.
Nichole has occasionally shown an interest in getting Kyle to be more open about his feelings; in her debut episode, she encourages Kyle to talk to her if he feels alone, and in "Doubling Down", she is the first to inquire that Kyle may have feelings for Heidi Turner.
Red McArthur[]
The two seem to have a very close friendship. In "Gluten Free Ebola" they are seen walking and laughing together at the boys' party. They are seen playing cards together and talking about boys in The Fractured But Whole.
Stan Marsh[]
In "Board Girls" Nichole is revealed to be a big board game buff, along with Stan and minor characters Tammy Nelson and Kelly Pinkerton-Tinfurter. While she and Stan never interacted much on screen besides their brief fangirling over BBG, Stan thinks she is cool to play with.
Tammy Nelson[]
When Nichole and Tammy join the boys' board game club, they have prepared characters for dungeons and dragons together beforehand. This indicates a friendship between the two girls.
Video Games[]
South Park: The Stick of Truth[]
Although she did not officially appear in the game, her appearance was planned. She can be seen in promotional artwork for the game. From the promotional artwork, it can be assumed that she would have played a relatively larger role as a cheerleader, along with Wendy, and Bebe, possibly in a battle against Red, and the Stupid Spoiled W*****. Her prominence in the game could have been further confirming her permanent role as a part of the series' cast. The reason for her exclusion from the game's final draft is unknown.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole[]
Nichole can be found in her bedroom with Red on the first day of gameplay, where they are playing cards and talking about boys. The New Kid is able to follow her on C***stagram and obtain a selfie. After her dad is falsely accused of being a "drug dealer" by Harrison Yates and arrested during the "Operation: Just 'Cause" mission, she says that she heard her dad being arrested while inside her room. After the game's storyline is finished, she and her dad can be found playing cards at the dining room table.
