Many fans speculate she may be an official character of the LG15 series, but so far this has not been proven. The production value of her videos suggest she may be an official character, however her videos lack the repeated cuts found in other canon videos (which gave away both Gemma and Jonas). Additionally, in her first video she displayed the full URL of the forum, which many fans speculate may be yet another clue to her being official (trying to attract fans to the forum).

Nikki and the box.
Nikki Bower (YouTube account NikkiBowerReport) is a YouTube/Revver user who has posted several fan videos in which she purports to be an investigative reporter following the trail of clues for lonelygirl15.

Is Nikki Official?

Many fans speculate Nikki may be an official character of the LG15 series, but so far this has not been proven. Some fans speculate that she may become an official character eventually, much like Gemma and Jonas did. Others believe that she may have been created as a source to disclose information to LG15 fans without straight-out saying it in one of the other official videos.

The production value of her videos suggest she may be an official character; however her videos lack the repeated cuts found in other canon videos (which gave away both Gemma and Jonas). Additionally, in her first video she displayed the full URL of the forum, which many fans speculate may be yet another clue to her being official (trying to attract fans to the forum).

In comments after Nikki's sixth video "Where is Jonas?" a YouTuber called Memewhile announced "This is another actor hired by the Creative Artist agency in LA as part of the Lonelygirl15 series. She is reading a script written by Ramesh Flinders". Nikki responded by saying innocently, "Who's Ramesh?"

The most significant clue which may point to her being an official character is found in her video What I Found at Topanga Canyon - NBR 2. In this video, Nikki Bower finds a small box near the site of The Ceremony with a lock of blond hair in it. However, on the top of the box the symbol of The Watchers is engraved. This video was posted ten days before Gemma's video A Watcher was posted, where the symbol was first introduced.

However, one theory that adresses this issue is that Nikki is simply a fan who has been recieving tips from the Creators. In her first video, Nikki goes to Topanga Canyon but doesn't find anything, and asks for ideas from other fans. In her next video, she says that "I got a lot of tips, and I am back here in Topanga Canyon." And later: "I was told in a private email message, that longitude may have more signifigance than we think. And it may have to do with footsteps." When she takes 118 steps (corresponding to 118 degrees longitude where the canyon is located) she reaches a bridge. "One of you guys told me to keep my eyes out for the bridge... this is the bridge." And looking around the bridge, she finds the box. It is quite possible that the anonymous tipper was The Creators, who got excited at Nikki's first video and decided to plant some clues. Later, in NBR 7, Nikki finds Gemma's building after "I was lucky enough to get an anonymous message that gave me the ZIP Code of where Gemma is residing. I don't know if it was from Tachyon herself or one of her cohorts..." So it seems that Nikki is not exactly an official character, but simply a fan who has caught the attention of the Creators - a pawn, if you will.

Other Miscellaneous Info

Nancy Drew?
In her video Watchers Everywhere - NBR 4, Nikki reads from a copy of Nancy Drew's Guide to Life, a book that was found in a Tachyon drop. She reads the following quote from the book:
"Don't discount faint lines or indecipherable blotches on discarded pieces of paper. A magnifying glass might reveal them to be very small words."

In most of her videos, Nikki is walking around and the camera is following her, even though she is clearly not holding it. Nikki never acknowledges a camera person, but it is obvious that she must have one. When asked who her cameraman was by a YTer, she replied that it was her mom. (comment on NBR 6)
