Nicole Watterson

Nicole Watterson (née Senicourt) is one of the main characters in The Amazing World of Gumball. Nicole is the mother of the Watterson family, and is the only truly responsible member of the family. She is very dedicated to her family, and would do anything in her power to keep them comfortable and safe.

Appearance
Nicole greatly resembles her oldest son, Gumball, who is, like her, a cat. She has light blue fur and is somewhere between Richard and Gumball in height. Her head is shaped similarly to Gumball's, except Nicole's whiskers are shorter than her son's, her nose is pink, and she has visible eyelashes. The inside of her mouth is light pink, her tongue is pink, and she has two fang-like teeth that are not always shown.

Her usual outfit consists of a white collared shirt, with a multi-colored button that symbolizes her workplace, the Rainbow Factory. It has 3 stripes on it the first stripe is orange, the second is yellow, the third is green, and wears a short, light gray skirt to go along with it. Like Gumball and Richard, she spends most of her time barefoot.

In her Season 2 redesign, she has tucked in her shirt, and her body has gotten much slimmer. Her mouth gets rounder, and the shadows from her shirt and skirt are entirely gone as well, and her whiskers have gotten shorter.

From Season 3 to the present day, Nicole's eyes are permanently round, along with the rest of her family.

When Gumball was a toddler and after Tara was raised, Nicole, like her husband Richard, wore fashion that seems to date from the 1990's. This outfit was made up of a pink sweater that exposed one of her shoulders, a black belt with a gold buckle, and white jeans.

In "The Choices," where she was seen in her early adolescence, she wore a white keikogi with a red belt ,since she was on her way to a karate tournament (although back in Season 1 and 2, she wore a white and red sweater, and a pink skirt, with a red hair bow on her head).

In her late teenage years, she wore a blue jacket over a white shirt, a purple skirt over black leggings and black and white sneakers, and she had a short hairstyle, with her bangs pinned back with a pink hair clip on each side.

In "The Rerun," when she and Richard were shown aging backwards, her earlier-mid teenage appearances were shown with having acne and braces, and long hair worn back in a hairband, and then with a pony tail in a bow.

Personality
Nicole cares deeply for her family, so much that she would do anything to express her love for them. She is also very protective of her family, as seen in "The Ape." Since she is the only truly responsible member of the family, Nicole does most of, if not, all the household chores, and in addition, she works long hours at the Rainbow Factory just to put food on the table. Often, when she competes against the rest of the family, it is *for* the family, such as when she wanted to watch Win or Don't Win to win a new microwave in "The Remote."

Unfortunately, Nicole also suffers from a tremendous amount of emotional stress because of her many duties. She is also quite strict and a demanding mother, and sometimes has extremely nasty temper issues when upset sometimes. In fact, on one occasion, Gumball decides it would be easier to face Tina than an angry Nicole. Despite all that, Nicole is still a good mother and person, very supportive, kindhearted, and has a softer side, and she still loves her family very much, especially her son, Gumball.

Nicole can be quite stern when provoked, and occasionally vindictive, as was shown in the episode "The Ape," after Miss Simian called her and her family "losers." On top of this, she has also proven to be very resourceful and inventive, a trait she most likely passed on to her two daughters Anais and Tara, who has demonstrated similar talents -- in this case, strategically setting a mine-like trap in a paintball arena/forest, merely using environmental supplies, and whatever she took with her. Winning seems to be a necessity for her at times, most likely due to her mother'sambition for her to succeed in her youth. Though, despite her somewhat ruthless faults, she can accept defeat, acknowledge her mistakes, and even find humor in them.

Nicole also does not like losing, as shown in "The Game," but still does not prefer to fight those who had a close relationship with her, such as Yuki, unless they threaten her family or her job.

Abilities
Nicole is very athletic, and is fully capable of chasing her children across the neighborhood when they are in trouble, as shown in "The DVD." On one occasion, Gumball compared her to a ninja. In "The Remote," she displayed great skills in martial arts, that allowed her to defeat Richard and her sons, jump between roofs, and sprint at super speeds. She displayed her fantastic combat skills again in "The Fury," along with her ability to block and produce destructive energy beams with her hands, and when her children were late to school, she ran faster than the speed of sound to make it in time. In "The Fight," Nicole single-handedly and almost effortlessly defeated Mr. Rex, destroying his house, and in "The Pizza," she defeated some apocalyptic Elmore citizens single-handedly when they turned against her and her family during the search for Larry.

When furious, she can become significantly strong enough to destroy a door, and can defeat anyone who gets in her way. In "The Egg," she can completely transform herself into a red demon-like being, and eat any person. Along with this, Nicole has the power to instill great fear in people, and in her "Limit" state she can even age people by staring into their eyes. Like in "The Castle" and "The Limit," just one penance stare reduces her victims into a horrified state. In "The Vacation," she completely burned Richard's marshmallow by just looking at it. In "The Finale" and in "The Money," she can also transform into a hulking version of herself. Also in "The Fury," she is able to jump very high and land on cars so hard, it destroys the front of the car. Furthermore, she was able in "The Fury" to reduce a character to tears by staring at him with flaming eyes.
