La Femme Nikita is a show about a young woman off the streets named Nikita (played by Peta Wilson) who is wrongly accused of killing a man. After she is convicted she is sentenced to jail. One night a group called Section One recruits her into their group. They are an unknown set of operatives who work to get rid of mercenaries and terrorists. She is given two years of training by her mentor, Michael (played by Roy Dupuis). After the two years are over her skills are tested in a mission. Her mission proves successful and she becomes a full member of Section One.
Nikita is now off the streets and in Section One that is far worse then she had thought it could be. She soon finds out her life is not her own anymore. Section would use her life to get whatever they want for the "greater good." Her relationship with Michael is strong and she has many feelings for him. Nikita discovers that everyone in Section is heartless and cruel. She finds comfort in only a select few like Walter.
There is a lot to be said about Michael and Nikita's own relationship. There are times when Nikita has fallen in love with Michael and vise versa. But, there is always tension between the two whether it is sexual or professional.
Section One is lead by Operations and Madeline. Nikita and Operation's relationship is strictly professional. He does not care for her but uses her for Section One's own needs. Madeline is known as the "Iron Maiden," and she is called this because she is heartless and cold. Nikita finds herself fearing what Madeline is capable of. However she finds some respectable qualities in Madeline who has some sort of motherly character within her.
It's through this show we can further see Nikita's develop in Section One and the relationships she makes and ends in her struggle to live as normal a life as possible. The biggest struggle for her is to find her identity in Section without losing her own soul and compassion, but in Section, compassion is a weakness she must over come.
