Nichole first appears on season 16 episode 7 titled "Cartman Finds Love". She is the new girl at South Park Elementary. When Eric Cartman sees her for the first time and notice that she is African American, Cartman congratulates Tolkien, who angrily walks off. Cartman exclaims endearingly that Tolkien must be shy. After that Cartman is decided to make Tolkien and Nichole date.

After multiple attempts to make Tolkien and Nichole talk to each others, Cartman decides to lock them inside the boys locker room where he left a deli platter, massage oil, board games, and grape soda. The day after, firemen sever the chain lock, freeing them. Nichole thanks Tolkien for comforting her and suggests they have lunch together the next day. After this they started to go out on several dates and visiting amusement parks together. During this, Cartman plants a teddy bear on Nichole's houses' steps as well as Tolkien's houses' steps.

One night Nichole is eating dinner with her parents. After a brief discussion about Tolkien, her father tells her that she shouldn't only date other black people. She says that her and Tolkien being the same race is simply a coincidence. Later, Nichole is in her room looking at the aforementioned teddy bear she presumes Tolkien left for her. She examines its tag, which says "To my boo" on one side and "'Cuz blacks belong together" on the other. This shocks her, and she breaks up with Tolkien the next day.

Cartman, after watching a laxative commercial, is inspired to try and get Nichole and Tolkien back together. He opens a box containing Cupid Me, and, after some convincing words, Cupid Me agrees to help him. Later, he knocks on Nichole's door, asking to speak with her. However, her father reveals she went to a basketball game with a "nice white Jewish boy". Cartman begins to rush to the game.

Cartman arrives at the game and begins to broadcast himself over the "Megatron" screen in the center of the arena. He says that love is hard and that people have to work for it, regardless of what others think. During this, he proclaims his "love" for Kyle and begins to sing a duet with Brad Paisley. After the song is over, he tells everyone that the Batmobile is outside; this causes everyone, including the players, to leave the arena. During the exodus, Tolken and Nichole run into each other. They reconcile their relationship, declaring that they do not care about stereotypes or what other people think.

In season 20 episode 2 "Skank Hunt", As Tolkien is playing basketball, Nichole approaches him to give Tolkien a break up note, which causes him to fall to his knees. She breaks up with Tolkien due to the actions of internet troll Skankhunt42; the girls believed that his actions spoke for all the boys.

In season 22 episode 1 titled "Dead Kids", Nichole tells Cartman that she and Tolkien are trying to make their relationship work again.

Fanon
Tolkole isn't very popular in the fandom, this is most likely simply due the lack of screen time it has. However, the fandom seems to have nothing against it. Even though the ship itself isn't very prominent in the fandom, it is the most popular pairing for both Tolkien and Nichole. Tolkole has 373 works on AO3, and some fanart.
