Character Role Analysis

Nikki Walsh

Nikki Walsh is most certainly the Big Bad Wolf to the Walsh kids' three little pigs. As their abusive, erratic mother, Nikki inspires all the Walsh kids' nightmares, and it's their big goal in life to get as far away from her as possible. Because Matthew is the oldest kid, a lot of the responsibility for evading Nikki—and making sure his siblings are safe—falls on him. He has to find ways to conquer her crazy, violent outbursts… and to get rid of her for good.
