Nichemma is the femslash ship between Nichelle Ladonna and Emma from the Total Drama fandom.
Canon[]
When Nichelle first arrives, Emma is amazed by her presence: recognizing her from Gorgeous People High. Nichelle shows to be confused often by Emma's antics, staring at her awkwardly when she celebrates in front of Caleb. In “Pirates of the Cabbagean”, Nichelle encourages Emma to aim for their ships and starts getting annoyed when Emma keeps prioritizing Chase instead. She finds it a terrible gameplay decision and counterproductive to their goal of sinking the enemy's ship. Despite clashing in priorities, Nichelle does her best to work with Emma and happily soaked in all the praise Emma gave her in “Drown Town Abbey”. Emma is the least judgmental of Nichelle in comparison to the rest of her team as when the latter breaks down, she successfully encourages Nichelle to try to win.
However, despite being the least harsh on Nichelle, Emma ironically still thinks lowly of her as a player. This is explicitly revealed in the second season where she joins the others in shunning Nichelle, outright refusing to talk to her when Nichelle tries to reach out. Emma believes there's no point in bonding with her as she'll likely be the first boot in “The Pink Painter Strikes Again”. Emma eats her words very quickly the instant Nichelle proves her worth to the team and overtakes the former's role as a challenge beast. By the fourth episode, Nichelle grew tired of Emma once she flubbed the challenge. She joins the rest of her team in voting her off.
Fanon[]
One of the most popular Nichelle ships, Nichemma is liked because of the warm friendship Emma and Nichelle share. Fans have pointed out that funny enough, both Emma and Nichelle's color palettes line up with that of the lesbian flag.
