Nicole Demara is an A-rank Ether Agent and is the founder of the New Eridu Odd-Job Agency, the Cunning Hares. After years on the streets, Nicole’s crafty and cunning behavior has earned her a reputation among her peers as “Even more cunning than a hare.” She’s been blacklisted by many clients due to her all-or nothing approach. She loves money, but is surprisingly bad at managing it, leaving the Cunning Hares constantly on the edge of bankruptcy and owing many debts.
