Nicole Ascart is the eldest son of the Ascart family, the heir to the Prime Minister of the Sorcier Kingdom, and the older brother of Sophia Ascart. He is a childhood friend of princes Geordo and Alan Stuart. Within the otome game Fortune Lover, he is the fourth capturable character. Nicole possesses wind magic and is known for his striking, doll-like beauty with black hair and dark eyes, which earns him the nickname the Enchanting Count. His disposition is quiet and reserved; he rarely shows emotion, which can make him appear distant, but in truth he is logical, sensible, and deeply caring, especially toward his sister. Because Sophia was often ostracized for her unusual appearance, Nicole has been fiercely protective of her since childhood, and he will go to great lengths to shield her from harm. This protective instinct initially makes him wary of others, but he gradually warms to Katarina Claes after she shows genuine kindness to Sophia and treats the Ascart family with respect. Nicole becomes drawn to Katarina’s straightforward and cheerful nature, and over time he develops romantic feelings for her, though he struggles to express them due to his unemotional exterior. His motivation centers on protecting those he loves and fulfilling his duties as the future Prime Minister, yet he also desires to be understood and accepted for who he is rather than just his appearance. Throughout the story, Nicole’s character develops as he learns to open up more around Katarina, occasionally showing soft smiles and warmth that he hides from others. He is academically gifted, skilled in swordsmanship, and also capable of cooking, a talent that surfaces in lighter moments. His magical ability is wind magic, which he uses both in combat and in practical applications such as sound detection during searches.
