Biography[]
Curse of Chucky:[]
Nica Pierce is a paraplegic woman with an unspecified heart disease triggered by stress. 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 Guys 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. Nica's warning to Barb about this is ignored, as Barb believes the 'secret' that it in the doll which Nica is referring to is the webcamera planted in Chucky's overalls by Ian.
Chucky soon begins killing off Nica's guests and when she hears Barb's screams, Nica crawls upstairs, not being able to take the elevator due to the electricity being out. When she gets up there, Barb is dead, and she 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. After Nica says that Chucky is responsible for the murders, Ian looks at footage from a camera he placed on Chucky to see if his wife was having an affair on him with Jill. Realizing that Chucky is in fact alive, he is murdered by Chucky with an axe. Nica manages to break the restraints and attack Chucky but is pushed over the balcony. When Nica asks Chucky what his motive is, he reveals that he was a family friend that was secretly in love with Nica's mother Sarah. He killed her father and kidnapped Sarah. When Sarah contacted the police and staged his arrest, he stabbed her in the stomach causing Nica's impairment. 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 is placed into a mental hospital.
Cult of Chucky:[]
After four years of being condemned in a mental hospital, Nica is erroneously convinced that she was the one who murdered her family and not Chucky. Her "progress" in accepting her "crimes" allows her to be transferred to the Harrogate Medium Institute to gain alone time from usual mental patients. After arriving, she quickly befriends fellow patient, Malcolm, with whom she starts a sexual relationship with.
Nica is included into a therapy group by her psychologist, Dr. Foley. Everyone except Malcolm believe Nica was the one who killed her family. Dr. Foley then includes a Good Guy doll into the session as a therapeutic tool, which Madeline, a member of the group keeps after believing the doll to be her "baby". She is soon greeted by Alice's guardian, Tiffany Valentine, who informs her Alice has passed away and left behind for her a Good Guy doll. Nica is devastated by the news and gives the doll to Dr. Foley. Later that night, she attempts suicide. The next morning, Nica finds her wounds stitched up and a message saying "not so fast" written in a pool of her own blood.
It is discovered that Angela, a member of Nica's therapy group was killed overnight in an apparent suicide. When Nica learns the name of Alice's guardian was Valentine, she remembers in shock that Charles Lee Ray's girlfriend had the same name; convincing Nica she was never at all crazy and that Chucky is in fact real and alive. She soon learns Claire, another member of her therapy group has been murdered.
Dr. Foley is unnerved by Nica's "regression" about her belief in Chucky, so he decides to "bring her back" through the use of hypnosis. It is revealed that Foley had been sexually abusing Nica in their previous sessions while she was hypnotized. Foley is then knocked unconscious with a glass bottle to the head by Chucky. Believing Chucky may have been able to switch doll bodies, she tries to convince Madeline to give her doll to her, but she refuses, believing the doll to be her child. She then encounters Dr. Foley, who believes Nica assaulted him, and uses it to blackmail in exchange for sexual favours.
Nica is sedated by the other Chucky doll supposedly gifted to her by deceased niece. Chucky then puts Nica in a straitjacket and moves her to Dr. Foley's office. Foley arrives later and finds her; though confused as to how she ended up in his office restrained, he decides to use it as another opportunity to sexually assault her again and is suddenly knocked unconscious yet again by Chucky.
To Nica's horror, she learns both Chucky dolls are alive, and watches as Chucky #2 brings yet another Good Guy doll (with shorter hair) to life. The leading Chucky reveals that a few years prior, the original Chucky had discovered a new voodoo spell online that allows him to possess multiple host bodies at once, such as Alice, who he reveals to have been killed by one of his victims.
An orderly named Carlos arrives, shocked to see the living Good Guys dolls. Nica screams for him to run, but he is brutally murdered by all three Chuckys. To her surprise and horror, Chucky reveals that he was never gonna kill Nica and that there are worse fates than death. Chucky then chants a voodoo ritual transferring his soul into Nica, which also gives her the ability to walk. Chucky/Nica kills Dr. Foley by stomping his skull in with red heels which he had placed on Nica earlier.
Nica/Chucky and Tiffany make their way back to Hackensack and stay in the local hotel. They have kidnapped two men, having already killed one of them and forcing the other [./https://childsplay.fandom.com/wiki/Young_Man man] to watch them make out. Chucky and Tiffany have an arguement over her eating, causing her to storm out and leaving Chucky alone with their victim. Chucky then grabs his knife and slices into the man's head. However, the sight of blood on the knife causes Nica to regain control of her body and she collapses to the ground. She is confused as to where she is, and is immediately concerned upon seeing the man tied to the chair. She crawls over to him and removes the ball gag from his mouth. He begs her not to kill him, and she comes to the realization that she had been possessed for two weeks. She tries to explain that Chucky murdered her whole family and used his voodoo to transfer a piece of his soul into her. Nica attempts to save the young man by untying one of his hands, but he accidentally hits her when his hand is freed, causing her to revert back to Chucky. Nica/Chucky then promptly slits the man's throat.
While Tiffany tries to stuff one of the men's bodies into a suitcase, Chucky makes snide comments to her about cutting the body into smaller pieces. When she cuts one of the man's hands off with a cleaver, the blood splatters on Chucky's face, causing Nica to regain control again. With Tiffany out of the room, Nica manages to crawl into the kitchen and onto a chair. She pretends to still be Chucky as Tiffany returns and the two play a game of Poker.

Suspicious of "Chucky", Tiffany asks him to recall the details of their honeymoon at Niagara Falls. Nica attempts to dodge the question until she eventually gives a generic answer to try to bluff her. Tiffany then reveals that she knows Nica has regained control, and to prove it, she stabbed her in the thigh 10 minutes ago which she had still not noticed. Scared, Nica asks what she plans on doing with her. Tiffany then divulges that she has developed feelings for Nica over the years, and prefers spending time with her over Chucky. As an added surprise, she tells Nica that she bought the two of them a house in Hackensack, which in reality is Charles Lee Ray's childhood home. She comments that her only problem is figuring out how to keep Nica in control instead of "that rat Chucky", and then knocks Nica unconscious with a pan to the head.
Stuffing Nica in the trunk of her Pontiac, Tiffany drives to her newly purchased home. She leaves Nica inside bound and gagged, as she leaves for the day. Later that evening, [./https://childsplay.fandom.com/wiki/Devon_Evans Devon] comes across Nica after breaking into Charles' house and sets her free. However, he is unaware that Chucky is in control and is faking being Nica. Chucky uses Devon's taser to knock him out and ties him up in the basement. Nica/Chucky then waits for [./https://childsplay.fandom.com/wiki/Junior_Wheeler Junior] and his Chucky doll to arrive, where they unveil their plan to deliver 72 possessed Good Guy dolls across the country.

After setting up the delivery of the dolls, Tiffany gets into an arguement with Nica/Chucky. She slaps him so hard that he falls to the ground, causing Nica to regain control. The Chucky doll then demands that Tiffany kill Nica to prove her loyalty but she hesitates as she has feelings for her. When she cannot do it, Chucky orders Junior to kill her, but before he can act Tiffany decapitates the Chucky doll and takes control of the situation. Drugging Nica, Tiffany has Junior tie her up before she is placed into the backseat of her car. The three drive away, where Nica is left in a secret location. Sometime later, Nica finally awakens to find Tiffany waiting for her. Telling her that they can finally be together, Tiffany remarks that she had to take precautions in case Chucky regained control. Nica then screams in horror as she discovers Tiffany amputated her arms and legs.
