Fanon:Principal Nichols

Wesley Nichols, often referred to as the Big Guy or Big Kahuna by Nate, is the principal of P.S. 38. He is rather overweight and is subject to continuous jokes by Nate Wright, although he is very kind to him nevertheless. Principal Nichols is shown to be rather fond of his food, and sometimes Nate catches him eating things like donuts and chocolate bars. In Big Nate: In The Zone, when all the junk food is took out of P.S 38 to be replaced by healthy alternatives, it is Nate who finds all kinds if soda and junk food in Principal Nichol's office.

In Big Nate In A Class By Himself, Nate accidentally body slammed him while doing a race to the flagpole with Francis and Teddy, though he said that it was his fault, so Nate didn't get a detention from it. Late on however, Nate got a detention during lunch for a "green bean incident". This was when he tried to set a world record for the most green beans eaten in the shortest amount of time.

It is shown that he gets out of his office in the mornings only when it is getting painted, and when Nate and Nichols talk together, there are no noticeable problems between the two.
