Pre-Super Genesis Wave[]
Nicole hails from an alternate future where she was created by Rotor the Walrus at the request of Queen Sally Acorn. She was built as a copy of the original Nicole A.I. which was destroyed during the Freedom Fighters' final confrontation against Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Nicole was placed inside a sphere and sent back in time to aid the Freedom Fighters of the past in their battles against Dr. Robotnik.
However, after the sphere was discovered by the heroes, they were unable to open it, so they took the sphere to their headquarters where it opened itself later that night. Sally was the first to meet Nicole and the A.I. offered her services to the princess before the other Freedom Fighters arrived onto the scene.
Sally decided to keep Nicole despite Sonic the Hedgehog expressing some distrust toward the handheld computer and Rotor later attempted hack into her to discover her place of origin, but was unsuccessful due to firewalls in Nicole's programming.
Post-Super Genesis Wave[]
Nicole was the creation of Dr. Ellidy (King Acorn's former advisor) and was supposed to serve as a support A.I. for the digitalized consciousness of his daughter Nikki, who was suffering from an incurable illness that would eventually calm her life. The idea was for Nicole to contribute towards Nikki's growth in cyberspace. However, Nikki was instead absorbed into Nicole's programming, much to Dr. Ellidy's grief, and the project was deemed a failure. Believing that Nicole could still be of some use, Dr. Ellidy uploaded her into a handheld computer and gave her away as a gift to Princess Sally Acorn, who named the A.I. after one of her ancestors.

Trivia[]
- In the Pre-Super Genesis Wave continuity, there has been speculation as to what alternate future Nicole originally came from, as multiple different futures have been introduced over time. Writer Ian Flynn has addressed the confusion by saying Nicole could be from one of a certain number of timelines. But for the sake of simplicity, She might have come from the same alternate future Robo-Robotnik, later known as Dr. Eggman, originated from.
