Nikki Wong is a fictional character in the television show, 6teen. She is most commonly perceived as the "rebel" of the show.
A rebel-type girl who is arguably the most sensible of the group, Nikki ironically works at the Khaki Barn (a store that sells trendy clothes) at the hopes of making enough money to travel across the world one day. She dubs the other three female employees "The Clones" because of their similar natures. In one episode, she becomes a member of their group (by some sort of "corporate brainwashing"), but the gang saves her from a life "where individuality is overrated".
According to the episode "Welcome to the Darth Side", she is also fired from the Khaki Barn for a short time and works at Stereo Shack with Darth (a "geek" who is regularly seen wearing a cape), which proves to be torture for her. It shows that Darth only hires her to date her which results in her saying "Let me put it in words you can understand, there's a better chance of Obi-Wan joining the Sith". When a new girl gets hired at the Khaki Barn and gets all the sales, she is fired, resulting in the rehiring of Nikki (with a 10% raise and 2 extra breaks).
Nikki is mostly grumpy, sarcastic, and cynical, and rarely do we see her any other way. However, in one episode, she is discovered by Jen and Caitlin to secretly love "DawgToy", a popular boy band. She of course threatens to kill them if they ever tell anyone--of course, she was just kidding!
Nikki has a love-hate relationship with Jonesy — there is always tension between them, especially after their first kiss in episode "Clonesy" (Season 1). In Season 2 they actually date for about three months and try to develop their relationship more. After a series of events begins making the pressure of maintaining a relationship too much, Nikki, who is admittedly scared that they will end up losing each other forever, convinces Jonesy that they need to break up for the sake of their friendship, but it is obvious that the love is still there.
Both of them handle the breakup in different ways, ultimately making neither of them very happy. Jonesy falls back into his old habits while Nikki falls into a vicious cycle of resentment and guilt. She is clearly jealous of Jonesy's womanizing, but realizes that none of this would have happened had she not broken up with him in the first place, which only makes her feel worse. Jonesy and Nikki finally get back together in the Christmas special "Snow Job" after they admit their feelings to each other. They seem truly committed to making it work this time, but only future episodes will determine how their relationship progresses from there.
