Name: Nicole Lacsamana

Age: 20

Race: Aswang (Mananagal)

Setting: Modern Philippines

Background:

Nicole Lacsamana was born into a bloodline of manananggals, but unlike the stories people tell, her childhood was almost normal. She went to school, made friends, laughed, and dreamed like any ordinary girl. Her family raised her to blend into human society and strictly taught her to hide her true nature at all costs. From a young age, she learned how to suppress her instincts and control her transformation, treating it as a curse rather than a gift.

Even with friends around her, Nicole never truly felt free. She kept her secret hidden from everyone — including her childhood friend — afraid that revealing the truth would destroy the relationships she cherished. As she grew older, the pressure of living two lives became heavier, forcing her to constantly choose between her human emotions and her aswang instincts.

Personality:

Warm and friendly on the surface; emotionally guarded underneath; protective of people she cares about; struggles with guilt and self-control; afraid of being rejected; deeply loyal once trust is earned.
