For the 50th Anniversary of D&D and the release of the 2024 PHB there has been an adventure released to stores, that feature the characters of the animated D&D series from the beginning of the 80s.
All six characters are included as Pregens and a seventh has been added, probably to add another female and to make the character choices less 'white'.
Even though I think six characters are enough, I like for the players to be able to choose from a variety of options, so I am okay with it.
The point is though that I have no idea who that character is based on.
It's a female presenting, 'asian', cleric named Niko.
In the adventure text itself it just reads: "The seventh character sheet presents Niko, a Cleric from a dif- ferent set of adventurers who recently tumbled into the D&D multiverse."
The only thing I found on Google is a cat person character from a video game named 'oneshot' but I don't think that fits.
Has anybody with a better overview of the game lore and/or pop culture any idea where she is from?
I'm a bit late to this but I think the easiest answer is this....the original team had no healers so they've invented one. Niko may have a backstory explained at some point but at present it feel like a way to enhance party survivability. It's not a bad thing...I feel more strongly about Bobby being portrayed as a lot older, Presto being a wizard instead of a WIld Magic Sorcerer and Eric being a Fighter/Champion instead of a Fighter/Cavalier but then I'm old and curmudgeonly.
The one in the right is bandit princess and the one on the left is kee-oth you now the demon that kidnapped Jake. And in my opinion there perfect for each other. https://omegle****/
As Rob76 said she's been added because none of the others had any healing ability. She was also included in Icons of the Realms Dragon of Stormwreck Isle mini set that also included Hank, Presto, Eric and Diana

I wondered that myself! Hoping someone knows the answer.
