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]

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]

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.
