Nienke is the newcomer -- she's shy and mysterious, and her arrival causes a lot of commotion at the school and the house. Nienke's arrival took place at the beginning, just after Joyce's disappearance. Only Patricia found this very suspicious and didn't accept Nienke at first. She was bullied and severely tested. She has lost both parents at a young age and lived with her grandmother for 12 years, but was sent off to The House of Anubis because her grandmother was growing too old to take care of her.
She was also kidnapped by Wolf also known as the Raven because they thought that she the chosen one was but it doesn't work they poisoned her and she was brought to a hospital. The difference between the houses are Nienke is not the chosen one the chosen one is Noa. Later, her housemates started to accept her presence, and this is mainly due to her pleasant personality. Nienke is the first to know about and contact Sarah, who informs her of the mystery, and she continues to the bitter end, despite the danger.She is very shy and is in love with Fabian, they start dating later in the series. When Amber knew about the secret, they made the Club of the Old Willow. Amber came up with Sibuna and Nienke thought that it a good code.

He offers his help when she was trying to translate the first clue for the grail's location as it was in hieroglyphics, and later on went with her to the attic to solve the mystery of the house. As the series progressed, the two developed feelings for each other, and eventually became official by the second season. Despite complications of the numerous situations they've been in, they always got back together. (See Fabienke).
