Nica Pierce

In Curse of Chucky, Nica Pierce is a paraplegic woman with an unspecified heart disease triggered by stress.[1] She lives with her mother Sarah in a large house with a cage elevator she uses to move between the levels. One day a package arrives containing a Good Guy doll. Later that night she finds her mother dead and her death is ruled a suicide. She is later visited by her sister Barb, her sister's husband Ian, her niece Alice, their live-in nanny Jill and Father Frank. That night, Nica begins to investigate the doll she received on the internet, and discovers the doll's link to serial killer Charles Lee Ray. But Barb ignores Nica's warning, suspecting the 'secret' that Barb refers to is the hidden webcamera which Ian had planted in Chucky's overalls to spy on Barb.

Chucky soon begins killing off Nica's guests and when she hears Barb's screams, Nica crawls up the stairs, unable to use the elevator due to the electricity going out. When she gets to the top she finds Barb dead, and discovers that Chucky is alive. Chucky flees and Nica wakes up Ian, who then takes Nica to the garage where she has a heart attack as Ian accuses her of being a murderess as Chucky is behind him stealing the car keys.

She wakes up taped to her wheelchair, restrained by Ian. Nica tells him that Chucky is responsible for the murders. Ian ignores this, but looks at footage from the camera he had placed on Chucky to catch his wife having an affair on him with Jill. Just as he begins to know the truth about the doll, Chucky murders him with an axe. Nica manages to break the restraints and attack Chucky but gets pushed over the balcony. Nica begs to know his motive, and Chucky reveals himself as a family friend who was secretly in love with Nica's mother Sarah. He says he killed Nica's father and kidnapped Sarah. When Sarah contacted the police and staged his arrest (which is revealed to be the backdrop of Chucky, in his human form as Charles Lee Ray, transferring his soul to a doll), he stabbed her in the stomach, causing Nica's disability.

Nica fights off Chucky before he can kill her but when a police officer walks in and sees Barb's corpse with Nica holding a bloody knife, she gets blamed for the murders and committed to a mental hospital.[2]

Nica returned in the seventh installment with Fiona Dourif reprising her role.[3][4][5] She subsequently becomes possessed by Chucky at the end of the film, and he/she escapes the mental hospital with Tiffany.

Nica made her appearance in the television series, Chucky, with Dourif also reprising her role.

Four years after the events of Cult of Chucky, Nica is still possessed by Chucky and staying with Tiffany in a hotel room in Hackensack, New Jersey, where Chucky and Tiffany are originally from. Nica is able to regain control of her body temporarily, usually at the sight of blood. During one incident she attempts to free a victim Chucky and Tiffany have tied to a chair but he becomes scared and hits her, allowing Chucky to take control and slit the man's throat. She later tries pretending to be Chucky to trick Tiffany but Tiffany isn't fooled and knocks Nica out with a frying pan.

Tiffany ties Nica up and leaves her trapped inside Charles Lee Ray's childhood home. Later Devon Evans breaks into the house and discovers Nica who begs him to set her free, he does but it turns out it's actually Chucky pretending to be Nica and tasers Devon unconscious. After Chucky splits his soul into an army of dolls, Nica/Chucky gets into a fight with Tiffany who slaps her to the ground, allowing Nica to regain control. One of the Chuckys tells Tiffany to kill her but Tiffany having developed feelings for Nica decapitates the doll and knocks Nica out with a sedative. When Nica awakens she is horrified to discover that Tiffany (to protect herself from Chucky) has amputated her arms and legs.

Nica returns in season two of the series where she remains under supervision by Tiffany for over a year and has been declared missing.[6][7] She eventually escapes with the help of Glen and Glenda, Tiffany's twin children who give Nica new metal arms; Chucky Prime, the Chucky who is possessing her; and Andy Barclay's sister Kyle. Nica, Glenda, and Kyle travel to the School of the Incarnate Lord with the intention of freeing her from Chucky Prime. Nica successfully performs the ritual to move Chucky Prime into another doll's body, who Andy then kills. Tiffany and Glen arrive at the school and Nica attempts to get revenge by shooting Tiffany, but Glen jumps in the path of the bullet. She looks on in horror as Tiffany and Glenda take Glen away to get help. Several weeks later, Tiffany has moved to New York with Caroline Cross, a young girl whose mind has been corrupted by Chucky. Nica has followed them to New York; she calls Tiffany and, after admitting she has been in regular contact with G.G. (the combined personalities of Glen and Glenda, now in doll form), she promises to follow through with her threat of revenge.
