Nico Minoru

Nico Minoru, sometimes known as Sister Grimm, is a Marvel Comics teenage superheroine in the comic book series Runaways. She was created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Adrian Alphona, and first appears in Runaways vol. 1 #1 with many of the other staple characters of the Runaways title. By the second series, Nico is the de facto leader of her unofficial and nameless superhero team, making her one of the few female superhero team leaders and one of the very few Japanese-American superhero team leaders. Nico's trademark is her elaborate and ornate gothic lolita wardrobe. Nico is a sorceress like her parents and grandmother before her and can cast nearly any spell imaginable with the mystical Staff of One. She uses her talents to make up for her parents' villainous actions and to prevent anyone from assuming the Pride's place at the top of Los Angeles organized crime.
