Nicole Unicole

Nicole Unicole, also known as "Nico", is a Unicorn who seeks advice from Centorea because of her "runaway spending" due to her fondness for idols, especially ANM48. She also works for the Black Lily Advanced Materials Laboratoriy and later becomes a member of Mr President's new virtual idol group, the "Black Lilies".

Appearance
Nicole is a bespectacled Centauride of the Unicorn subspecies with large breasts and a horn that is reduced greatly in size. She has horse ears and her blond hair is tied into a ponytail. She wears a blue dress designed for a centaur and a predominantly white jacket which are merchandise belonging to ANM48, one of her idols.

Personality
Nicole is a spendthrift who has no sense in managing her finances and she is willing to do whatever it takes to support her idols even to the extent of going bankrupt because she thought that they're pure by putting so much hardwork to acheive their goals.

Physical Traits

 * Unicorn Physiology:
 * Sense of Smell: Unicorns can smell whether an individual is a virgin or not from a great distance. The smell of a non-virgin is apparently unpleasant to them. The smell of a man is also bad, but not as unpleasant as a non-virgin. As Nico explains, purity is also an important part of the Unicorn culture.
 * Breasts: Unicorns as a subspecies of centaur they have large breasts for feeding their young, which are larger than human babies and require more nutrition.
 * Female Centaurs can lactate and produce a larger amount of milk. However this is rarely seen outside of pregnancy.
 * Taste Buds: As herbivores, Centaurs generally have twice as many taste buds as omnivores (e.g humans), while omnivores have over twenty times as many taste buds as carnivores (e.g Lamias).
 * Body Temperature: Centaurs have a standard body temperature of 38 degrees.
 * Centaur Ears: A Centaur's ears are capable of reflecting the centaur's mood as they are able to move much in the same way as a horse's ears.
 * Unicorn Horn: The scraped powder from a Unicorn's horn is a powerful cure for a variety of diseases, to the point where Mr President considers it as a panacea. Since the horn grows continuously throughout their lifespan, the powder can be scraped off without endangering the Unicorn's health. However the horn grows back rather slowly, so too much powder shouldn't be harvested at once, as there is a danger of permanent damage.

History
Nico is a student of the Exchange between species program and one of the many Liminals who are working for the Black Lily Laboratory, which specializes in selling products made by Liminals. However, it is not exactly known whether Nico entered Japan via the laboratory's immigration program or whether she only started working for the company later. While working at the Black Lily Laboratory, Nicole sold the shaved powder from her horn, which Mr President considered as a particularly valuable resource for his research, as the powder from a Unicorn's horn can cure a plethora of diseases, to the point where it can be considered as a panacea.

Because of her admiration for idols, Nico began spending part of her monthly wages on donations to the 48 members of ANM48. However, this got pretty much out of hand due to Nico's obsession as she sold more and more of her powder to the Black Lily laboratory, to the point where her horn was eventully only a small fraction of it's original size. Worried about her wasteful nature, Nico finally decided to enlist the help of Centorea for advice on how to learn to stop spending her money so lavishly.

Plot
Nico makes her debut in Chapter 72 where she meets up with Centorea and Kimihito at the ANM48 Cafe and Store to talk to them about her problem. In her admiration for ANM48, Nico begins ordering all of the member's named dishes and desserts off the menu, an act Centorea is exasperated about when Nico tells her and Kimihito that she's having trouble spending her money.

Before Nico can continue to describe her problem, however, the waitress brings Nico her exclusive collaboration goods with the pictures and names of the members of ANM48 on it. Nico is so enchanted by the pictures that she looks dreamy and completely forgets about Centorea and Kimihito. Centorea uses the opportunity to introduce Nico to Kimihito and explains to him that she is a Unicorn. Kimihito recalls hearing that Unicorn's horns are extremely medicinal, but also that they would like pure maidens. Centorea embarrassedly admits that she suppose that's true. While the two are talking, Nico doesn't notice anything because she is still looking at the collaboration goods with a dreamy grin. Eventually Centorea has had enough and annoyed and loudly asks Nico what about the advice she wants from her. Nico wakes up with a start from her reverie and explains, embarrassed, what she needs the advice for.

Zoological Classification
Unicorns are a demihuman subspecies of Centaur that have had myths and legends written about them since before Grecian antiquity.

Known as a symbol of virgin purity, Unicorns are said to be "only tameable by virgin women". It is also said that their horns are able to cure all diseases; resulting in a mass-hunting for the species. Hunters usually used the species' fondness for virgin women to lay traps to capture them and harvest their horn.

Trivia

 * Nicole's first bad memory is when she gave a long and passionate speech about idols in an interview for becoming one and discovering the president didn't even listen to it.
 * Her second bad memory was doing a 10 hour broadcast while on mute without realising it.
 * Her third bad memory was accidentally using V's greeting "Univening!" in real life.
 * Her last name is probably a pun on her subspecies name, unicorn.
 * Although the omake in Volume 17 states that Nicole is 188 cm tall, her profile picture presented by Mr President in Chapter 72 states that she is 180 cm tall.
