Description
Nicol Ascart, heir to the Ascart earldom, is the son of Dan and Radea Ascart and older brother of Sophia Ascart. He shares a childhood friendship with princes Geordo and Alan Stuart. His appearance features dark violet hair and eyes, paired with a stoic expression that accentuates his doll-like beauty. This beauty unconsciously emits an alluring charm affecting all genders and ages, frequently provoking unwanted attention or irrational behavior from others.
Childhood trauma from repeated assaults and objectification due to his looks forged Nicol's reserved nature. He avoids private talks and small talk, speaking minimally and mainly to close family and friends. Beneath his composed exterior lie insecurities and struggles with mundane tasks like waking without oversleeping. His emotional barriers weaken around Katarina Claes, one of the few immune to his charm who engages him comfortably. He values her habit of sharing stories during their interactions, easing his conversational challenges.
Nicol wields wind magic rated level 4 on a 5-point scale. His intelligence ranks among the highest in his circle, rivaling Geordo and Raphael. He later works with Raphael at the Magic Ministry on magical governance and investigations.
Loyalty and protectiveness define Nicol's relationships. His bond with Sophia is profound; he fiercely guards her, and in *Fortune Lover*, she acts as the primary rival on his route. Success leads to marriage with her blessing, while failure isolates both siblings. His connection to Katarina begins when she acknowledges his family's value, prompting him to open up. He develops romantic feelings but suppresses them initially due to her engagement to Geordo. Sophia, their mother, and acquaintances like Fray Randall encourage him to pursue these feelings, though guilt over disrupting relationships plagues him.
Across narratives, Nicol's role shifts. In *Fortune Lover II*, he aids in exposing a dark magic user at the Ministry, leading to peaceful resolution or tragic duel based on choices. *Pirates of the Disturbance* offers multiple route endings—happy, good, or doom—influenced by player decisions. In *Verge of Doom*, where Katarina regains memories later, Nicol interacts with her original personality without initial wariness, unlike others. His evolution spans emotional restraint to vulnerability, particularly in expressing affection and confronting desires, as when he subconsciously agrees with Fray's suggestion to pursue Katarina despite ethical dilemmas.
