Personality //
Nicolas may seem cocky, he is merely cautious. Like any rat, he does have a natural curiosity. He longs to be in power, claiming he would be a fine ruler, making a better life for rodents (oh and shapeshifters too). He is a joker and a charmer. Handsome, if only he didn't smell of sewer.
He's a natural surviver and very clever. He does not show of his shapeshifting abilities and does not tell others about them. He is very secretive about a lot of things. Though he does share them with his closest friends: the rats.
He's friendly, but a thief in many ways (though not money), being quite the fanatic for jewels and curious trinkets.

History //
The first memories Nicolas has are those of growing up on the street, among he rats. He remembers being a rat before being human. He learned to survive on the streets and in the sewers. The time spend on the streets as a human was merely done to steal. Food, clothes, trinkets.
Nicolas did make a few 'friends' with humans, most importantly the fruit merchant. It was the old man who had decided the young child (6 at the time) needed a name, and named him Nicolas. The two became friends and he taught Nicolas about speaking properly and dressing right. For a while, Nicolas even stayed with the man, though he never told him that he was a shape shifter. Nicolas helped the man with the shop and smuggled out leftover fruit and veggies for his rat friends.
When Nicolas was 13, the old man died and the shop was sold. Having left no will, Nicolas inherited nothing and was back to living on the streets. He didn't particularly mind, he only did become sad as his rat friends lived such short lives, often not even reaching 2 years of age.
Nicolas reached adulthood with a mixed life of human and rat, developing an odd habit of breaking in to peoples houses or stores in the middle of the night (as a rat) to put on clothing and steal it.
As of now, Nicolas has no house to speak of, but dwells mostly under the city or in the old, abandoned part of town, scavenging for trinkets and curiosity.
