Nicole, also known as “Mage N” or simply “N”, is one of the members of a Secret Society of mages known as Hexenzirkel. She studies the world's direction and order, and speaks to guide people toward the truth ''when a change has occured in the world."
Alice said that Nicole had a habit of speaking into someone's mind without warning when she wished to guide someone from a dangerous situation. This has also been implied in Furina's official Twitter announcement!

Story Teaser: The Mages' Tea Party

Alice Story and Details
The Guide Who Will Never Get Lost
Speaks to Guide People Towards the Truth
It was revealed in the Windblume's Breath event quest, Joy Above the Clouds, that Mage N is ''the guide who will never get lost'' described in the story's prophecy.
Being a guide, Nicole appears to have access to knowledge that do not belong in Teyvat, or perhaps it's Nicole who's not from Teyvat, making her a potential Descender.

Possibly Previously a Boar
According to Wolfie, one of the friends of Madame Mage was previously a boar who became a mute person. This person, because of their inability to converse thru normal means, can converse telepathically, which possibly suggests that this person is Nicole, a witch of the Hexenzirkel.

Spoke to the Traveler in Inversion of Genesis
If you have completed the Interlude Chapter Act 3, Inversion of Genesis, prior to this event, the Traveler will have an extra thought as Alice is describing Nicole.
Traveler suspected that Nicole was the mysterious voice who spoke to them at the end of the Inversion of Genesis quest.
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Traveler | (That night we stayed here, Paimon bumped into the table after being startled by something to do with The Balladeer and broke the vase.) (But The Balladeer erased his existence. He changed the world... So why is this vase still broken?) |
| ??? | You sound lost and confused. |
| Traveler | ...Who's that? |
| ??? | I know why you are troubled. Any who knew of this would find their mind overwhelmed. |
| Paimon | Huh? Is there someone here talking to us? |
| ??? | Unfortunately, the fate of Teyvat cannot easily be changed. Perhaps a god may have a slim chance, but for anyone else... who can say. When a small animal runs into a tree trunk, though the tree may sway, it is not displaced. The same is true of fate. Like a vase that falls to the ground. Whether it is broken by a cat or by a bird, the result is still a broken vase, is it not? |
| Paimon | Wh—Who are you!? How do you know about all this? |
| ??? | History does not change easily, but human hearts can. Believe your own eyes. Only that which you see is true. What is unseen is but an illusion. |
| Traveler | ... |
| Paimon | The voice has disappeared... And who the heck was that!? And what were they doing, coming out of nowhere and saying all of that scary stuff... |
| Traveler | (Believe my eyes? Does she mean... I should trust my memories?) |
| Paimon | Ugh. Anyway, that vase is still lying there broken on the ground. Should Paimon go get someone to clean it up? ...Feels wrong just leaving it there. Just a moment, Paimon'll be right back! |
| Traveler | (...) (I wonder what else awaits me in the future?) |
Spoke Again in Masquerade of the Guilty
Mage N once again has contacted the Traveler again in Masquerade of the Guilty through a cup of tea in Fontaine. Nicole tells the Traveler that even gods have blindspots and they can turn things around to prevent the prophecy of Fontaine from happening.
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Traveler | (Friend's disciple... So this is one of the friends of Mona's master? The enigmatic N of the Hexenzirkel?) |
| Traveler | Allow me to ask you...Will Fontaine's prophecy come true? |
| Mage "N" | The prophecy... Yes, what has been prophesized will be fulfilled. You may view such things as "the history of the future." |
| Paimon | What... Th—Then, is there any way we can stop it? |
| Mage "N" | I believe you have witnessed a failed attempt with your own eyes. Can everything in Teyvat so easily be changed? |
| Traveler | There it is again... "fate."Can there really be no exceptions? |
| Mage "N" | Ah, so you've caught on. Just as prophecies are usually the only future as seen from the perspectives of the gods, could things be happening in hidden corners where the gods' gaze does not fall? Are the things that you shall see different from the fate that the gods perceive? |
| Traveler | ... |
| Paimon | Wh—What is she talking about? It all sounds really impressive and important and stuff... but it also sounds kinda scary. |
| Traveler | (The tea in the teacup is just about gone as well...) |
| Mage "N" | I believe that you understand, right? Some things are insignificant... but others, you must reach out to change.Ultimately, fate shall serve as your only guide no matter what will happen in Teyvat's future. All you need to do is play your part.This was good tea, by the way. Thank you for your hospitality. Well that'll be all for today. |
