Nicole was one of the two St. John's students who died when Daniel crashed his car. She was a year younger than Tom and was active in musical theater. Though it's never confirmed, Tom hears a rumor that Nicole kissed Daniel after Claire broke up with him on the night of the accident. Her family sends a letter to the Brennan family in response to Daniel's apology letter, insisting that Daniel was an accident waiting to happen and that no sentence will be long enough to make up for Nicole’s death.

I knew I had to stay with Fin, stay with the mess Daniel had made. Yet a voice inside of me was screaming, "He's alive, he's alive. Daniel's alive."
