• Additional Adjustments to include:
Although we only meet Barb for a short amount of time, she has a significant impact on Nancy's character for the rest of the show. Barb is one of Nancy's closest friends. When she goes missing, and Nancy asks other students if they know where she is, they basically tell her that she should know, which strongly implies that they're almost always together. Nancy's desire to fit in with Steve and his 'cool' friends has her excluding Barb at Steve's party, and when Nancy finds out that the Demogorgon took her and murdered her, Nancy feels that this is her fault. And then her anger gets directed to the Hawkins lab itself, as she blames them for causing problems in the first place. Barb's death inspires her to seek the truth and find justice for her friend. This, in turn, inspires her to pursue journalism to continue to uncover the truth and find justice for other people. She will always remember Barb, and she will always carry guilt over the death of her best friend. Barb's death helps Nancy become who she is in later seasons -- someone who is willing to fight and get her hands dirty in the name of protecting people and helping them find justice. Barb's death negatively influences her because she becomes deeply guilty and feels like she indirectly killed her friend. She is filled with regret and loathing over pressuring Barb to come with her to Steve's party, only to ignore her later on. She feels that if she had not pressured Barb to come along, Barb would still be alive. However, it also positively influences Nancy because it pushes her to become an investigative journalist and inspires her to help people. She becomes a better person, someone who is not afraid to fight for what she believes in.

Jonathan: "I saw this girl, you know, trying to be someone else. But for that moment, it was like you were alone or thought you were. And, you know, you could just be yourself."

Nancy: "That is such... bullshit!"

Another significant relationship is the one that develops between Nancy and Jonathan. Nancy tries to change who she is so she can fit in with the 'cool' crowd. Barb notices that she's changed and comments on it. Mike notices that she's changed. But Jonathan points out that Nancy is trying to be someone else, which certainly hits a nerve. He also points out that she's another suburban girl who thinks she's rebelling by doing exactly what every other suburban girl does -- dating a popular guy until the phase passes and then settling down with someone 'safe' and 'boring.' Jonathan calls her out, and this helps her realize that this isn't what she wants for herself. Jonathan's speech helps her understand that she isn't authentic to herself by dating Steve and hanging out with the cool kids. In season 2, Murray Bauman calls Nancy out for her reluctance to be authentic, and he sees her as someone who sticks to whatever is safe and socially acceptable. All of these moments shape her into the person she becomes in season three. Nancy is still eager to be accepted by the staff of the Hawkins Post in season three, but she's also more willing to take risks and be herself. She goes out of her way to prove herself to the sexist men at the Hawkins Post and does what she feels is right, despite knowing she could get fired. In Season 3, she is openly dating Jonathan and no longer appears to be afraid to date someone who makes her happy, rather than someone who seems "socially acceptable" and "safe." If Jonathan and Murray hadn't called her out in seasons one and two, she might never have tried to be more true to herself. They both contributed to her character development positively.

And finally, poor Steve negatively influences Nancy during season one. Steve is a good guy, but he causes Nancy to rebel and act out because she desperately wants to fit in with him and his friends. Nancy dates Steve because he's a socially acceptable boyfriend. He's safe. He's popular and well-liked. But although Nancy likes Steve, she does not love him. She begins to realize this in season two and finally accepts this by the very end of that season. That said, Steve and Nancy are amicable towards each other after they break up, and there appear to be no hard feelings. She also trusts Steve enough to leave him with the kids while she goes with Jonathan to try and drive the Mind Flayer out of Will.

Nancy will remember her short time in Deerington. She did not have a positive opinion of the town and saw it as dangerous and hostile. However, Will was open with her about the fact that good things did happen in Deerington, and she has no reason to doubt Will. Therefore, she acknowledges that Deerington meant something to both Will and Mike. Through her conversations with Mike and Will, she begins to understand that Deerington had become a second home for them and a place of safety for Will. At the end of the game, she is glad to return to Hawkins, as she never felt a connection to Deerington. And yet, through Mike and Will, she is given glimpses of the good things that existed in Deerington. She feels sad for Will and Mike, knowing that they will lose the life they've built in that strange nightmare town. She shows her empathetic side, by trying to understand their points of view.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: Nancy has no special powers
• Blood Type: Paleblood
• Omen: Norwegian Forest Cat
• Blessed Day: July 10th
• Patron Pthumerian: The Reckoning. Nancy will be able to relate to The Reckoning, as they both share a strong sense of justice and believe in revenge. Nancy always wants the truth to prevail, even if she has to bend that truth a little for others to accept it. And she wants justice for her friends. When the Demogorgon murders her best friend, Nancy wants to enact her revenge on the creature. She wants to kill it and is willing to put herself in danger to get her revenge. She is capable of violence if she feels wronged or threatened or if someone she loves is hurt or endangered somehow.

• Blood Power Manifestation:

Nancy's blood will give her prophetic visions. She will be able to predict events, whether they be events affecting her personally or affecting other people. These prophecies will often be vague and jumbled. She won't be able to see the faces of the people afflicted by these events, and often they will be represented by symbols, music, and other clues. Thus, she will often have to use her investigative abilities and her observation skills to make sense of them. Nancy has a strong interest in uncovering the truth and bringing people to justice, so she would try to use these prophecies to solve certain problems before they occur.

She will also possess telepathic abilities and will use these abilities to try and send messages, feelings, and imagery to other people. Her attempts may not always reach the intended owner, and using this power during the early stages of the game may give her crippling headaches, blurred vision, and nausea. This may become less frequent as she practices her newfound powers and learns how to control them. She may be able to send those messages, images, and feelings to multiple people simultaneously, but it will take up a lot of energy and may render her unconscious at times.

The images that she sends people may cause them to hallucinate over several days. They may hallucinate the creatures or people depicted in the telepathic images that Nancy sends to them.

The Paleblood will cause her to be deeply empathetic, and she will feel encouraged to try and help people using her newfound abilities.
