Nikki Wood, as portrayed by K. D. Aubert

Nikki Wood is a Vampire Slayer from the Buffyverse.

Not much is known about her, except that she was killed by Spike in New York, 1977, and that she was the mother of Robin Wood. Her Watcher was named Bernard Crowley. Crowley resigned from the 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, 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.

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, and the First as the only characters in the Buffyverse that has been portrayed by more than one actor, not counting stunt doubles.

PLEASE DISCUSS CHARACTER ADDITTIONS/REMOVALS BEFORE MAKING CHANGES AT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Buffyverse#Buffyverse-box_character_inclusions)

This box cannot/shouldn't be including every Buffyverse character. Some suggested guidelines are:

"The people who appeared in the opening credits (Scooby Gang & Fang Gang/FG) appear in the box, and the most important villains/friends who had a significant emotional impact on multiple of those opening credits characters - as long as they have a significant episode count, and preferably if they appear in three or more seasons."
