Talk:Niki Sanders

Niki's age

Jessica's page states that Niki and Jessica are twins. Jessica was born in 1976, which would make both Niki and Jessica 30, right? Where did we get 33 for Niki? Are they really twins? - User:Ryangibsonstewart

• Yeah, what reference did we have that stated Niki is 33? ~ Red = 6:25PM (EST) Jan 3, 2007
  • The character's ages, as listed, are from the NBC press package that was released before Genesis aired. They haven't been confirmed on-screen.--Hardvice (talk) 19:23, 3 January 2007 (EST)
• We are assuming they are twins... there has been no canonical reference to them being twin sisters. All we know for sure is that they are sisters and Jessica died at age 11. It is quite reasonable that Jessica was the older sister who has somehow been absorbed by the younger after her death. - User:Johngon
  • We know in Six Months Ago that Jessica Died in 1976 and In the Car Registration of the convertible Places the Present Timeline in 2006-2007. in Chapter 2 And since We agree that Jessica IS older than Niki, and If Jess was still alive then she would be around 31 years of age MAX! This could mean Niki is Younger than Jessica by around 5 Years old, cause Micah is around 10 years of age. And Niki could have Micah by the age of 18 ( Being Family Friendly show ) If we can say that Niki Gets to know D.L. more before they had Micah by the age of 21 then that would close the age gap by 3 years younger than Jessica. Therefore the Press KIT is WRONG! Unless Niki had Micah at the young age of 15, which is the average start of Female menstruation, that would increase the age gap by 8 years. ~ ~ ~ ~ Red = 19:54, 4 January 2007 (EST)
    • Jessica was born in 1976. This would make her about 30-31 right now. Niki's supposedly 33. She could still be the older sister assuming that age is correct, I dont think there's any evidence that Niki's positively younger. So if Micah is about 10 then she had him when she was about 23. This gives Niki and D.L. plenty of time to have met. In any case 33 is what NBC announced so it's the best age to include until they explicitly make it clear what age she's supposed to be.

  • That's exactly what I was thinking - I don't know why we jumped to the conclusion that they were twins, other than that Jessica's manifestation looks like Niki - doesn't mean the original sister was a twin. And the ages - where did these come from? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:17, 9 December 2006 (EST)
    • • From the Womens Correctional Facility, Niki Talks about Jessica being able to play music and Niki Having no idea about them whic proves that Jessica IS Older than Niki.

Power

• I think what we saw in Godsend was a brief takeover by Jessica, not an example of Niki using superhuman strength. --Ted C 10:04, 23 January 2007 (EST)

It could be that Niki Power's is Actually Alter-Ego. And the Strength is from Jessica [1].

~ Red = 6:25PM (EST) Jan 3, 2007

I propose That Niki's power be Alter-Ego [2].

~ ~ ~ ~ Red = 19:54, 4 January 2007 (EST)

• Hmmm. I'm not sure that's so much of a power as a condition. Let's wait and see what happens in the upcoming episodes. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2007 (EST)
• The most bizarre thing I'm noticing about Niki/Jessica is that their differences are physical as well as mental. Jessica has a tattoo, but Niki doesn't. The reflection of Jessica in Genesis was bloody, but Niki wasn't. Weird. --Ted C 14:50, 9 January 2007 (EST)
  • It's obvious that Niki's Powers is Alter-Ego cause we haven't seen any evidence that Niki has the Powers when she isn't in Jessica state.

Can any one make an Alter-Ego Article?

• • • It's not obvious that it's her power and at this point it wouldn't make sense as a power. As Ryan suggested, let's wait to see how it plays out first since the most obvious power is enhanced strength. It just so happens that this power only manifests with Jessica so far. (Admin 15:28, 13 January 2007 (EST))
      • I do think it would be beneficial to have an article called split personality (I have a red link to it on my user page as an article I'd like to see), but this would be a reference to her condition, not her power. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:48, 13 January 2007 (EST)
        • That seems like a logical approach since you're right, it's a condition not necessarily a power. (Admin 16:50, 13 January 2007 (EST))

Symbol/No-Symbol Comparison

Now that Niki's shoulder has been seen sans-Symbol and we know Niki's has a Symbol... can we get side-by-side comparisons? I remember this being quite a discussion earlier. - User:Johngon

• You meant to say Jessica's has a symbol. Right?--E rowe 22:13, 8 February 2007 (EST)

Name

I don't know how to make a redirect. But, since a lot of people spell her name Nikki, and especially since it's spelled that way on her website on screen, there should be a redirect here from "Nikki."--E rowe 22:15, 8 February 2007 (EST)

• We try not to make redirects for misspellings. It makes it harder to track them down. When somebody tries to link to Nikki and it comes out red, it's an indication that they've done something wrong.--Hardvice (talk) 22:26, 8 February 2007 (EST)
• First, to make a redirect, type #redirect and then the link.

  Second, we generally don't redirect misspellings, otherwise we risk encouraging misspellings throughout the site. Just because people regularly misspell her name does not make it correct. The only canonical example of her name being spelled with two ks is as her username. That does not mean that's how she spells her name, though. For instance, I might choose to spell my username "Stewart", despite my actual surname being spelled "Stuart" to create privacy (especially if I run a site on which I strip). Besides, her name has been spelled "Niki" numerous times onscreen, so that's how we spell it. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:27, 8 February 2007 (EST)

  • "We try not to make redirects for misspellings. It makes it harder to track them down." Harder to track what down?
  • FWIW I would take the opposite approach. We don't need to come up with every possible misspelling. But I think redirecting as many likely misspellings as we can would be an improvement. --E rowe 10:01, 9 February 2007 (EST)
