Nikki Cruz

Nicolasa Cruz, who goes by Nikki (sometimes Nik), is married to Luis Fuentes. She lived with her mother, father, and younger brother, Ben on the north side of Fairfield. Her father is the doctor who performed surgery on Alex when he was shot in Perfect Chemistry. Before Nikki can tell her boyfriend Marco (from the south side) that she is pregnant, he heartlessly dumps her to join the Latino Blood, a gang. After that, when her father is invited to Alex's wedding, she gets upset with Luis for flirting with her, and she knees him in his crotch. Luis reminds her of Marco so she hides his clothes when he is in the ocean with a girl. When she goes home she starts bleeding and her stomach starts hurting badly. Her parents rush her to the hosptial, where she finds out she had an ectopic pregnancy meaning her falliopian tube ruptured causing her to need emergency surgery. She almost died and her baby couldn't be saved.

Personality
After her harsh break-up with Marco and the loss of their child, Nikki is reluctant to get close to any guy. But when she spots Luis, she feels something. She knows hes going to hurt her so she tries to resist his charm which is really hard to do. Nikki was a "traitor" because she grew up on the north side like other rich kids and she did not own up to the fact she's Mexican. Adding on to the fact that she can hardly speak her native language, she's considered a sellout. Nikki later opens up her heart and she falls hard for Luis and supports him in every endeavor. According to Luis she has "angel with an edge" aura and an attitude a mile long.

Appearance
Nikki has long wavy brown hair and according to Luis has exotic eyes and a really nice body.
