Nikaro, who frequently goes by the nickname Painter, is a nightmare painter on Komashi who falls in love with and helps free the yoki-hijo Yumi.[2]
Appearance and Personality
Nikaro is a young, nineteen year old man with long, black hair that reaches his shoulders. He keeps his hair long, thinking it takes less effort and is more impressive. He looks Veden, but with pale skin not seen much on Roshar. A lanky build, he dresses with an untucked shirt, and a long, knee-length cloak.[3]
He tries to convince himself he is a lone hunter, and that he is happy being by himself without friends, but this isn't true, and he is hoping his old friends will ask him to join them.[3]
Attributes and Abilities
Nikaro was the single best artist in his year. Akane claims Nikaro is the best, most talented artist she's ever seen.[4] Yumi first thought he was a lazy painter, but is later blown away at his skill when she sees the masterpieces he drew in his portfolio. [5][4] After failing to join the dreamwatch, despite his skills with the brush, he spent most of his time drawing nothing but 'bamboo'. He claimed it was efficient, something that meant more to him these days.[6]
History
Nikaro is from a small town, a few hours away from Kilahito.[6][7] He spent most of his life prior to heading to Kilahito, training to become a painter, practising since he could first hold a brush. His dream was to become a member of the Dreamwatch, and planned for his friends to become his companions.[4]
One year into his training, he applied for the Dreamwatch, but was unsuccessful. Not wanting to disappoint his friends however, he lied and told them he got in. He spent most of his free time after that sitting in the library, staring at a wall, uncertain with what to do. Eventually his friends found out about his deception and the friendship ended.[4] Nikaro continued to work as a painter, but would always go alone, though Akane continued to be friendly with him.[3]

Relationships
Yumi
Painter first meets Yumi when they body swap for the first time, and at first, she believes he is some sort of hero sent by the spirits to help them. Painter at first pretends that he is the hero she was looking for, but after experiencing his lifestyle when she swaps into his body, she realizes he was lying.[8] Though she gets very annoyed with him, over time they learn to work together. Helping each other through the problems they face and growing together. Over the course of time they spend together, they fall in love as they get through challenges together and teach each other how to live in their separate worlds.[9]
Akane
Nikaro and Akane were good friends back during their time in school. Her and the other members of their group of friends were devastated when they discovered Nikaro's lie about getting into the dreamwatch, and thus their friendship was badly damaged. Years afterwards, Akane stayed somewhat friendly with Nikaro, though he chose to stay away from them, never seeking forgiveness. Eventually when the entire city is in danger, Nikaro begs Akane and his friends for forgiveness and to help him to save the city. They believed him and work together to save the city, forgiving Nikaro in the process.[10]
Tojin
When in upper school Tojin and Nikaro were both in a group of friends including Akane, [Izzy]] and Masaka. Nikaro and Tojin were friends until Tojin discovered Nikaro's lie about getting into the dreamwatch.[4] Afterward Nikaro and Tojin never really interacted with each other, until a stable nightmare attacked them. Though Nikaro didn't have a physical lform at that time he saved Tojin,[11] Tojin later said he had felt Nikaro's presence and knew he had saved him.[10] When Nikaro asked for his friends help he was the first to agree,[10] and at the battle of Kilahito he was the first after Nikaro to take up the battle cry "We are the dreamwatch now."[2]
Masaka
Nikaro met Masaka at upper school when she joined they're group of friends, she had once made Nikaro a hat for his birthday.[9]. Though Nikaro did not learn until later, Masaka previously used the name Chinikdakordich, and is the sixtieth horde of the Natricatich strain of Sleepless. Masaka later helps out Nikaro and Yumi as they try to map out the outside world, though Nikaro is invisible to her at that time.[12]
Izzy
Izzy, also known as Izumakamo, became friends with Nikaro and the others in upper school. Along with the others she believed that Painter had joined the dreamwatch, and became very untrustful of him when they discovered she had lied.[13] Later when Nikaro asked his friends to help him at first she was against it, but with Tojin's convincing she decided to help.[10] During the battle of Kilahito Izzy froze at one point and was saved when Nikaro pushed her away and drew a bird to push back the nightmare.[2]
