Nikki Maxwell

Nikki J. Maxwell or Nichole Julianne Maxwell is the main character throughout the Dork Diaries series. She, in her opinion, is a dork.

Characteristics

Nikki has pretty dorky characteristics. She normally tries to fit in at Westchester Country Day Middle School, but can't compete against the popular perfectionist, MacKenzie Hollister. She usually carries around her diary in her front pocket of her backpack at school and at home somewhere in her room. She loves talking to her friends and venting/ranting in her diary in the janitors closet at school and in her room at home. She always feels better about something upsetting after she sulks, or looks at the wall. She hates doing Family Sharing Time because she has no say, and her family never does things that Middle Schoolers WANT to do. She doesn't like Brianna's ideas, and is upset that she doesn't have an "iPhone" or any phone.

Appearance

Nikki has green eyes and medium-length brown hair and normally wears it in low-pigtails. She is known to wear ponytails sometimes, but she sometimes wears it down or in a half-ponytail. She wears jeans and a T-shirt along with sneakers and writes in her diary before, in between and after school. She wears lipgloss and hoop earrings.

The Diary

Nikki has a diary with 288 pages and a green pocket in front. The cover is pink and she writes with her fuzzy purple pen. Her books are diary entries and her drawings. Nikki first didn't like it, because she wanted an iPhone, but when it got lost, she freaked out, which proves that Nikki started to like her diary. She has a lot of diaries but they all look the same to her with the pocket but to readers, it looks different every time!

Crush

Nikki's crush is Brandon Roberts. He has shaggy brown hair and brown eyes. He lives/works at Fuzzy Friends animal shelter. He also goes to school at WCD and is Orphaned, living with his grandparents.
