==Biography== |
|
|
|
|
|
Not much is known about Nikki Wood. At some point her Grandmother was killed by a vampire<ref>Pocket Books Buffy novel "Blackout" page 19</ref>. She was the second Slayer killed by Spike (he killed her in New York in 1977), and that she was the mother of Robin Wood. |
|
|
|
|
|
Her Watcher, Bernard Crowley, resigned from the Watchers' Council and raised Robin after Nikki's death. She also had a Chinese American boyfriend named Li who was in the NYPD during her early tenure as Slayer but was killed when investigating an illegal smuggling operation that happened to be importing a demon. Li may or may not be Robin's father. |

==Trivia== |
|
|
|
|
|
Spike's trademark black leather trenchcoat originally belonged to her, until he took it from her corpse. |

April Weeden-Washington originally portrayed Nikki. However, when the character was brought back, stuntwoman April was deemed "too mature" by the show's casting directors. They wanted a younger actress, who could seem more like a vulnerable teenage mother for the role, so K.D. Aubert portrayed Nikki Wood in the seventh season. This means Nikki joins ] and the ] as characters in the ] that have been portrayed by more than one actor (not counting stunt doubles). Weeden-Washington, however, attempted to spark an ] write-in campaign among Buffy fans to have her recast in the role. This effort, nonetheless, came to naught. |
