Nancy

Nancy Drew is friends with her nemesis from high school, George Fan; a rich girl with a mysterious past, Bess Marvin; Nancy’s former secret boyfriend, Ned “Nick” Nickerson; and amiable burnout & former boyfriend as well, Ace. Collectively they are known in Horseshoe Bay as “The Drew Crew” and they all hang out and work at a restaurant called The Bayside Claw.

Physical Appearance: Nancy is a reasonably tall young woman (standing incisively at 5’8” feet tall) with lush, very light golden copper blonde hair (basically ginger or red hair), that falls just past her shoulders, “rippled” at the ends and featuring in a wavelike texture, correspondingly; as opposed to possessing a pair of ravishing, riveting deep-set, seafoam blue-green eyes. Subsequently, she does have to come into prominence a very fair cool complexion, highlighting and displaying a light rose ivory tint tone, matching a blush beige pigmentation. Additionally, she extols a clean-limbed built besides a lissome, willowy frame. Not least, she is partly of northwestern Europe ethnic descent on her mother’s side. She wears fall colors such as burgundy, olive green, & ginger, but can be spotted wearing blues on occasion. Since her adoptive mother passed, she has worn her locket, and since finding out she was adopted and her biological mother was Lucy Sable, she obtained the slipped the ship's helm charm previously worn by Lucy as a bracelet and added it to the chain so she can wear both of her mothers' jewelry. She has also been seen wearing printed neck scarves, in a variety of styles.

Skills & Talents: Having taken up the life of a private detective at an early age, Nancy possesses a number of useful albeit less-than-legal skill sets to aid her investigations and avoid detection by the authorities. Her skills are self-taught to a very high level.

High-Level Intellect: Nancy is extremely intelligent and highly knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects ranging from organic chemistry to metallurgy to art history. She is intimately familiar with the folklore and mythology surrounding Horseshoe Bay, is an avid reader and was a shoe-in to the college of her choice before her mother fell ill.

Expert Detective: True to her reputation locally and beyond, Nancy is an extraordinarily gifted sleuth and investigator with astounding observational and deductive abilities; before her mother's passing, there was no mystery in town or its environs that she could not solve. She is well-versed in soft and hard interrogation, disarming witnesses, uncovering clues and cultivating a wide network of experts to call upon in times of need. Her expertise led her to be hired as an investigator for Carson Drew's law firm.

Lock Picking: Nancy is a master of picking locks to break into otherwise restricted areas. She has succeeded in breaking into several buildings and safes, including a morgue.

Lip Reading: As a private detective, Nancy took an online course on reading lips so she could "eavesdrop" on conversations from a distance. This has helped her distinguish what people are talking about when she is out of hearing range.
