Nicole Eckelcamp was a supporting antagonist in Orange is the New Black.
She was an inmate at Litchfield Penitentiary Maximum Security Prison, and a member of Carol Denning's C-Block gang.
She was portrayed by Alice Kremelberg.
Personality[]
Nicole is shown to be somewhat mentally unstable and boundaryless. She can get easily overexcited by plans to beat D-Block. Comparatively, Nicole is not as threatening as other members of Carol's group, and somewhat more naïve, but still has a violent and abusive tendency. She also does not seem to have a confusing moral compass.
Physical appearance[]
Nicole has long brown hair, and blue eyes. She is seen mostly wearing the navy-blue C-Block uniform.
Biography[]
Background[]
Little is known about Eckelcamp's background, but it is heavily implied she was involved in a quarterback cheating on his girlfriend with Nicole.
Orange is the New Black[]
Nicole is first with Charlene Teng seen bumping into Flaca Gonzales, where Nicole becomes awestruck due to Flaca and Maritza Ramos' popularity on social media during the riot. Whilst Teng says she preferred Maritza, Nicole reveals she finds Flaca more relatable. When Teng spills contour powder on the floor for Flaca to clean as she is in the rival block, Nicole apologises for Teng's behaviour.
Nicole is present when Madison Murphy introduces Piper Chapman (her bunkmate) and Blanca Flores to the group. Nicole seems unstable in this conversation and dimwitted. Murphy blames Nicole for ruining a joke when she laughs prematurely. After Antoinetta Kerson hesitates to swap bunks to allow Alex Vause to live nextdoor to Piper, Nicole is responsible for punishing Kerson by suffocating her briefly in her sleep, reminding her to fall back in line. Nicole reveals she is Akers' new roommate, and has to use the toilet naked.
Nicole is happy to participate in a revenge prank on D-Block after they sneak rats into C-Block's work supplies by defecating on D-Block's laundry (which, again, Nicole strips for). Nicole and Shruti Chambal find Nicky Nichols and Blanca engaged in rudimentary IVF, and are implied to have beaten them up for it. Eckelcamp later refuses to let Gloria Mendoza sit down after excising her. Eckelcamp is present for the kickball game that is due to become a block war. However, when the ball is kicked and the war is about to start, Nicole catches the ball and aborts the war to continue the game, which encourages everyone else to do the same.
