I agree about her age and I've talked about this before. It's possible she is even younger, after all Superhuman bodies seem to develop fully past their 4th if Shen is of any indication. She could be 12 and still look like that.The thing with this is, we don't know how old Nico is or how long she had her powers for. The way Clark and Xanthe talks to her makes it seems like she's around Alexis age, 28. For all we know, she could be the same age as Ella, 21. We also have to take into account that she reached level 5 only a few weeks before Ella and she's not the spawn of a Numbered. Unless you meant Ella had her powers longer there.
Moving on, Nico's not trying to be the MC. Of her three encounters(Val, Hex and Ella), she had to chase one of them because everyone else failed prior to her. The other was an S-Rank Monster that would've killed or captured the MC and others, if she didn't intervene. With Ella, she rightfully wanted to end her as fast as possible to be done with it all. HERO has purposely dragged their feet when it came to Ella, so Nico decided enough is enough. You might say her going to Ella by herself was rash but in all honesty, it could've been worse for everyone, if she didn't halt and waste all of Ella's time there.
So for me, I believe that most people just hate that she's vocally prejudice against people, can be extremely selfish and doesn't care about the MC's status as MC. It all seems to come down to the player's own ego. Minus the Valravn thing, Nico has done nothing to the player, specifically, besides trash talk him during their first encounter while ignoring his existence. Something she doesn't do after but because she did it, it's a permanent hate boner for her.
In terms of my own feelings towards her, I mostly don't care for the reasons above. She trash talked us once. If she was constantly hounding us throughout the game then maybe I could get it. The thing is, she doesn't. Her trash talking everyone else doesn't matter to me. I'm not any of those characters, so why would I get offended on their behalf? Even the Alice thing didn't get much of a rise out of me. So, I'm not annoyed or bothered by Nico's behavior. I'm actually glad that the women all have different personalities.
I personally don't care about her attitude against the MC and while deadends are part of the game, they aren't part of the story so I don't subscribe to the whole "she killed us for no reason" argument. Additionally, no matter how wild she is, it's the MC's job to tame her. The guy is destined to become god or something. If he can't bag the cat in the end then he is a fucking looser .
While I appreciate the variety of the characters, she is a bit too immature for my liking.
