Nicole Mikaela D.C Carter. 26. Black-Filipino. Nicole is the radiant heart of Lantern Chorus—joyful, grounded, and full of warmth. She carries a natural grace and kindness that puts everyone around her at ease. Always ready with a soft laugh or a comforting word. Though she tends to play peacekeeper in the group, she’s not afraid to speak her truth or stand up for what’s right. Her sweetness is matched with quiet strength, shaped by years of navigating two cultures and carving out her identity.
