The nickname "Nancy Drew" didn't come from nothing. Nancy Wheeler is incredibly inquisitive and intelligent.

She has matured and grown since her formative years; she no longer cares about maintaining the status quo or judging others. She is strong willed and independent and often pushes her own guilt and trauma beneath the surface. She is incredibly protective of the people she cares most about.

HEALTH:
Mental Health: After years worth of life altering events, Nancy does suffer from complex PTSD symptoms. There are times when she has trouble sleeping due to nightmares. She also suffers from survivors guilt especially when it comes to Barb. She uses control as a coping mechanism but often suffers from burnout when she finally crashes.
Physical Health: When it comes to physical health, Nancy could be considered fit as a fiddle. She takes care of herself as best she can but tries to keep a balance. There are times when she chooses a healthy option and others when she isn't against indulging. She has been known to drink socially but not to an excess. She has a scar or two from previous events.
Nancy couldn't remember the last time she'd had a full night of rest. Her sleep was constantly interrupted since the incidents that had occurred over the last few years. Nightmares, insomnia; she was beginning to wonder if the dark circles under her eyes would be permanent. When the words she wrote for her next article began to blur, she knew that she needed a break. A walk and some coffee possibly. Something to keep her going for the rest of the day.
When she stepped out of the news office, she took a deep breath of the fresh air. The news office always smelled like stale paper, old coffee and cigarette smoke. "I'm taking a break," Nancy explained when she spots a familiar face. "Coffee? I'll buy."
