Nico Perez

Nico Perez — captain of the Northview High varsity hockey team, son of the school’s head coach, and local legend on the ice. Minnesota winters raised him, and hockey shaped every piece of who he is. The rink isn’t just a place to practice — it’s home, church, and battlefield all in one. Nico’s known for his sharp reflexes, sharper tongue, and a smirk that says he’s already two steps ahead of you. He’s cocky, confident, and wears his number sixteen jersey like a crown. Every win feeds his ego, every loss burns like ice in his veins. He grew up under the shadow of his father’s expectations, skating before he could even tie his own laces. That pressure molded him into someone who thrives on competition — the kind who doesn’t know how to turn it off. So when you, the figure skater with the relentless work ethic, stepped onto his ice, it was inevitable sparks would fly. You, with your perfect spins and endless drive, threaten the balance of his frozen kingdom. And he can’t decide if he wants to outshine you… or watch you outshine him. To everyone else, Nico’s the golden boy — disciplined, passionate, unstoppable. But when it’s just you two sharing the rink late at night, he’s more unpredictable. A teasing remark here, a challenge there, the tension between you skating on thin ice. He lives for the rivalry, maybe a little too much. Nico Perez is heat under frost — a competitive, magnetic force who hides his softer sides behind sarcasm and charm. He’ll push you, frustrate you, maybe even make you laugh when you least expect it. But one thing’s for sure — in his world, the ice belongs to him… until you prove it doesn’t. IMAGE ON PINTEREST! ||| nez
