Name: Nancy Drew Door: door pass - submissive Canon: Nancy Drew - CW Series Canon Point: after 1x17 (The Girl In The Locket) Age: 19 Appearance: here History: here Personality: One of Nancy's greatest strengths as a detective happens to be her top negative trait; she is suspicious of everyone around her. In general, Nancy wants to believe in her family and friends, but when the evidence leads her straight to them, she isn't afraid to question them. This leads to her father being arrested for a murder he didn't commit, because the evidence she had collected against him was discovered by the police. It's difficult for her to trust blindly because of her experiences; she knows most people are keeping secrets, and she makes it her job to uncover them. The result is that Nancy doesn't let people stay in her life without interrogating them once in a while. She is also determined to uncover the truth at all costs. This is a trait that is both positive and negative. It is positive when she's helping someone who needs it, but negative because her determination also causes her to go too far. For example, when Nancy needs to find Lucy Sable's bones, she turns to the Agleaca knowing that she will have to pay the toll. When the toll marks Owen Marvin for death, she tries to get away with not paying it - but maybe someone less desperate wouldn't have gone that far in the first place. When Nancy is connected to a case, sometimes her determination becomes desperation and she has to suffer the consequences. This is also true of her efforts to find Lucy Sable's missing journal. Even when chasing after Lucy's ghost was dangerous, Nancy believed that she had to and kept going. She's so eager to find answers that she doesn't know when to stop. When someone lets Nancy down, she isn't very forgiving of them and puts in emotional distance. She's done that with friendships before, but also blames Carson for not telling her everything he knew about Lucy Sable's death and wants to leave town with Owen Marvin (so that she doesn't have to see him for a while). When she uncovers her connection to Ryan Hudson, she doesn't even give him a chance to have a relationship with her because she's decided that he's not someone she wants in her life. (To be fair though, he's an asshole.) Overall, Nancy is a great detective because she is brave and willing to take risks. When a mystery leads her into the darkness, she isn't afraid to follow it, even if that means accepting that ghosts are real (and haunting her). She'll do anything to help someone in trouble, and if it puts her in danger, she doesn't even hesitate. She's a good person, with a lot of flaws that involve her having seen the worst and understanding everyone is capable of it. Powers and Abilities: Nancy is a normal human who does not have any supernatural powers or abilities. She does, however, come from a world where ghosts are real, and has performed rituals and seances in canon in order to connect with the dead or to help solve a mystery. It's not depicted as a special talent - anyone with the knowledge is able to perform these activities. Nancy's real talent is in solving mysteries and being perceptive. In canon, it is acknowledged that she started young, doing the police chief's job for him before she turned eighteen. After the death of her mother, she stopped for a while as she dealt with her grief - but she is capable and intelligent, and able to see what other people might miss.
