Template:Infobox Buffyverse Character

Nikki Wood is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, portrayed originally by April Weeden-Washington and later K.D. Aubert.

Biography

Not much is known about Nikki Wood, except that 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 tenure as Slayer, and who may or may not be Robin's father.

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

Trivia

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 Buffy Summers, Faith Lehane, and the First Evil as characters in the Buffyverse that have been portrayed by more than one actor (not counting stunt doubles). Weeden-Washington, however, attempted to spark an Internet write-in campaign among Buffy fans to have her recast in the role. This effort, nonetheless, came to naught.
