== Biography == | |||
When Nancy was around sixteen years old, she became pregnant. Due to the stigma surrounding unwed teenage mothers in the [[1930s]], she told her son, Jamie, that she was his sister. In [[January]] [[1941]], Jamie was killed in an air raid near [[Limehouse Green station]], but [[Chula]] [[nanogene]]s partially revived him, however because they had never been in contact with a human before they thought the gas mask he was wearing was part of his body and they revived him as the [[Empty Child]]. The virus spread to other [[human]]s at [[Albion Hospital]] and began "correcting" and "fixing" them to look like what they thought a human looked like. | When Nancy was around sixteen years old, she became pregnant.

== personality == | |||
Nancy is brave, resourceful and clever, providing food and shelter for the group of orphan children, and the doctor calling her use of empty houses during air raids "genius". She is shown to be collected in precarious situations, shown when the doctor turns up to dinner and she coolly answers his questions and asks him to leave, also when Jamie finds them, ushering all the children out calmly despite her own fear. She is also witty, demostrated as she makes fun of the doctors nose and ears after he follows her. Her motherly side is demonstrated throughout, with her caring for the orphans, making sure they "eat their greens" and "chew their food" finally also seen when she is with Jamie and she is revealed to be his mother. | |||
