i. When Nick was 14, he dated a Spanish girl named Merche Haizea Sala. It was definitely nothing serious, just something for both of them to pass the time.

|Body Type|
Ectomorph
|Shape of Face|
Heart.
|Skin Tone|
Light, slightly tanned
|Eye Color|
Changes from green to blue to silver.
|Hair Color? Type? Styles?|
Nick's hair is a light brown color, sometimes seeming blonde. It's on the thinner side, and Nick usually doesn't do anything special to it...besides comb it.
|Distinguishing Marks|
Nick has a scar on his inner left wrist from a barbed wire incident from when he was seven or eight.
|Fashion Sense|
Nick, being a jock, is all about athletic clothing. He wears his varsity jacket, tracksuits, shorts, t-shirts, etc. Nick practically never wears any pair of shoes other than his tennis shoes - except when he's playing a sport. Nick, growing up on a ranch, also incorporates some of that in his clothing style. He tends to wear jeans when he's not wearing shorts, and he's quite accepting of plaid.
|Overall Attractiveness|
Some people call him cute, some call him hot. It varies from person to person, but Nick does tend to be a bit higher on someone's personal cute meter rather than their personal hot meter. Nick is far from ugly - he would call himself an eight or nine.

|Personality|
Nick has a bright and adventurous soul. He is quite the lively person, and isn't one to be in bad moods very much. He's a bundle of light, almost like a hyperactive puppy. Nick has boundless amounts of energy, and is energetic to the point of restlessness. He needs something to do, and simply can't sit in one place for long periods of time. Nick is an optimist, but not enough to be called a dreamer. He always attempts to look at the bright side of things, but isn't ignorant to the dark side either. To satisfy his restless nature, Nick is quite adventurous and daring. One could easily call him reckless, making bold plays in football that probably won't work. Many can comment on his lack of caution, and how he needs to stop playing with fire so much.
Nick isn't just an embodiment of a hyperactive puppy. He has a kind soul as well, and is a generous person. He looks past financial boundaries, and attempts to help people who really need it and who really deserve it. Despite his reckless nature and lack of caution, Nick is very careful with his money. He won't just hand it out to someone on the sidewalk just because he has extra. Nick is also a dependable person. He is very trustworthy as long as you're his good friend, but you can't just expect him to do something for you if you don't do something for him. Bound by loyalty, Nick wouldn't leave a trusted and loved one behind.
Despite this side to him, Nick definitely has some negative traits. For instance, he's blunt. He doesn't try to purposely hurt people's feelings, but he doesn't exactly have a filter. Although Nick definitely has this brutally honest side of him, you can't deny that he doesn't lie. Nick isn't one of those people with those strong consciences. He will lie if he deems fit (but apparently, no white lies). Nick is also a serious grudge-holder. First impressions are very important to him, and if you make a bad one, that's what he will see you as for his whole life. So if you do something against his friends, Nick will make your life miserable for literally years to come.

|Hometown|
Houston, Texas
|Upbringing|
Nick's past is definitely not normal in any means. He was born into a rich family as the child of Matthew and Penny Van Veenen. They had a lot of money, but not enough to be especially famous. Nick's parents were multimillionaires, but they didn't get there in the right way. Nick's mother worked in Los Angeles, and Nick grew up in Houston, so he didn't see her much until his later years. Penny Van Veenen is an incredibly successful fashion designer and owner of a fashion company, and got to the top with her work ethic and perseverance. However, Nick's father was another story. Unemployed for most of Nick's childhood, Matthew Van Veenen raked in money a different way. Nick didn't know it, but his father was a serious criminal, and still is. He'd be in prison for being on the America's Most Wanted list if they actually knew it was him performing all the bank robberies, murders...the list goes on and on.
But Nick's dad openly abused him - very badly, in fact. Therefore, Nick started living with his father's sister and her husband, going back and forth between the two households. For about 7 years, up until about when Nick turned 12, he lived the majority of his life in the household of Gunnar and Kaitlin Bowen, his uncle and aunt. Nick never understood why his parents were so rich, and how Gunnar and Kaitlin were simply middle-class, and struggling to make ends meet. After all, why couldn't his parents help them out? Gunnar and Kaitlin were good people, allowing Nick to play sports even though they had some financial problems. But Nick understood everything after he turned 12.
You see, a week or so before Nick's 12th birthday, his father was sentenced to a life in prison for all the crimes he had committed. Nick moved in with his mother, who was oblivious to his home situation due to work and the lies Nick's father fed her. After she figured everything out, she told the jury all the other crimes Matthew Van Veenen had committed against his family. As it turns out, Nick's mother lived her life as a lie. She had to pretend to love Matthew, and later had to marry him, bear him a child, and give him money. Matthew Van Veenen was a horrible person, but he was extremely cunning and manipulative. He knew exactly what to do to get Nick's mother to play into his hand. The sick thing about it was that Nick's mother knew exactly what Matthew was doing, but she couldn't even do anything about it without making her life even more miserable than it already was. After that, Nick's mother gave Gunnar and Kaitlin a loan to help them stay on their feet, and Nick started going to Buckley.
|Idol or Hero|
His mom. When Nick was younger and had just figured out his father's crimes, he was angry at his mom for not doing anything about it. After that, he learned that his mother couldn't do anything about it. He admires her for pulling through and putting on a brave face, while managing an successful company single-handedly.
|Dreams|
To be a professional basketball player.
|Education|
Nick started going to Buckley a month or so into his 7th grade year. Before that, he went to Barbara Bush Elementary School, and he went to Campbell Middle School in Houston for around a year or so.
