Niki is a famous actress and a closeted lesbian. Though her management are adamant she stay in the closet, Niki wishes to be 'out' and live her life more openly. Niki is constantly told that she cannot have both and that her sex appeal and consequent box office viability depend on her being thought of as a heterosexual sex symbol. Her management forces her to attend her film premiere with a fake boyfriend who is Greg, her co-star from 'Lez Girls' to convey a heterosexual image which upsets Niki as well as her then-girlfriend Jenny. She was threatened of being outed by Adele and was ambiguously outed by Alice during her gig on 'The Look'. She has a fun-loving personality and likes to go partying even though she is underage to drink. She alluded to having had an affair with Paris Hilton. She is often seen with a large entourage and she lives at the famed Chateau Marmont Hotel in West Hollywood. Kate French confirmed in 2009 that the character is based on Lindsay Lohan.
