Personality

Nancy's a bit of an eccentric. But maybe put a little less emphasis on the a bit.

In her own way, she better reflects her second older brother—Sheryl—than she does her eldest, Marene. Nevertheless, like her brothers and every other Doyle family member that came before them (their mother included), Nancy's rather gifted in most things analytical!

One of the best things about this fact is that she doesn't prefer keeping her skills for her own personal uses only—even if, in most cases, that happens to be the case. She wants to be helpful, she wants to broaden her horizons and spring her potential forwards in any way she can; helping others with her intellectual prowess just happens to be one of them.

Don't be fooled, though, Nancy is not completely well-adjusted and settled in herself in the ways her brothers seem to be. Despite her gifts, its potential can often be held back by Nancy's incessant stubbornness and brash way of thinking… or lack thereof.

She's more of an “act before you think,” kind of person, and that's the shining attribute that's holding her back from reaching her full potential—according to her brothers.

Let's hope that mindset won't keep her from solving any mysteries on her own.

⸻⸻⋅☾ ⦮ ⦯ ☽⋅⸻⸻

Likes: Word games, puzzles, her family (particularly her mother), Riddle Rosehearts, early morning biking

Dislikes: Marene being lazy, Sebek Zigvolt, dirt on her clothes, being proven wrong

Hobbies: Committing fraud by way of forgery, biking, horseback riding, playing boardgames, solving puzzles

Skill Set: Deciphering hidden messages in seemingly mundane appliances (if that counts for something), parkour, forgery /hj

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Relationships

Family: Mr. Doyle (Father/✝), Eudosia Doyle (Mother), Marene Doyle (Eldest brother), Arthur 'Sheryl' Doyle (Second eldest brother), "Conan Doyle" (Distant relative…?)

Mr Doyle: "I don't know much about my father… he was out of the picture long before I was even born, so interpret THAT however you will… But there are moments in which I try to consider what sort of opinion he'd have of me, and if it is as lacking as mine of him."

Eudosia Doyle: "She raised me, all on her own, and I think that's a testament on its own on her strengths and capabilities! Motherhood is no easy task, surely, but my mother always made it look like it, even in the tribulating times of our lives together. And… Wherever she is now, I hope she is safe!"

Marene Doyle (@mystery-skulls-ghost): "I find it so unfortunate that Marene's so ineffably lazy… Or, I suppose the more polite term would be 'work-shy'. He has so much potential and yet there he is, laying on the couch taking a nap after doing seven knows what! I sincerely hope he gets his act together, I'd may very well kill for even a sliver of his explicit insight for my investigations. Not his usual cryptic hint-givings…"

╰┈➤ "Oh, her? She really has to take a break every now and then..."

Arthur “Sheryl” Doyle (@authoruio): "Artie's so rarely not transparent on his goals. I've pestered him all my life to allow me the chance to engage in one of his investigations, and every time, I'm met with harsh rejection! Mother sees my potential, even Marene sees it, so why does it feel like Artie doesn't?"

╰┈➤ “That girl… always so full of surprises she forgets the necessity of knowing when to stay put and when to truly act.”

⸻⸻⋅☾ ⦮ ⦯ ☽⋅⸻⸻

Dire Crowley: "For my sake, my brothers advised me not to be too frank on my opinions of our Headmage, lest I be on the receiving end of his apprentice's wrath—hut even still, I cannot help myself! The man is insufferable as can be, I haven't a clue on how he was even qualified for the position he's in! Clearly, there's something happening behind the scenes, something big and something that he's without a doubt in my mind a part of… and I intend to prove it!"

╰┈➤ "Ah, Miss Doyle carries the same relentless ambition as every other member of her family—though, perhaps she is more similar to the second Doyle brother than the firstborn. Quite the funny young lady, always so blunt with her words!"

Victoria Shard: "I don't think it's very surprising for anyone to know that I find her… a little unnerving. I don't think her protectiveness over how the Headmage is perceived comes from a place of deep admiration and loyalty. Artie told me not to pry too closely into her business… what a hypocrite, when he's doing exactly that."

╰┈➤ "Unlike her brothers, their sane younger sister knows better than to cross the same path as I do. Miss Doyle is pleasant enough of a presence, moreso than her older, male contemporaries. But her downfall will soon follow her if she doesn't find a worthwhile solution to her reckless behavior."

Riddle Rosehearts: "Housewarden Rosehearts is quite benevolent indeed. I began attending Night Raven in the midst of their finals exam week, and I was pathetically unprepared… in walks the heartslabyul Housewarden and—though I'm required to remain at the academy to better my studies—I most certainly appreciate the help he'd graciously provided."

╰┈➤ "Miss Nancy wasn't what I'd initially expected. Upon hearing that Arthur and his brother had a younger sister who'd recently began attending Night Raven, I'd half-expected a young lady that—against all odds—ended up being the opposite to whom I'd end up meeting. But… that is not to say that is a bad thing."

Background

To my dear elder brothers, Marene and Arthur

I've come to write this letter of correspondence to you with caution and with a weight of great panic laid indelicately over my shoulders—a burden, if you will, that I think myself unworthy of bearing on my own; one that I hope you will agree to carrying with me until it is lifted. In the coming days, you should expect my arrival in Night Raven College. Your respective advices on the art of replicating our dear mother's handwriting has been most useful to me, and both your efforts in educating me remains much appreciated. But on the topic of our mother, I send this letter to you with urgency—our mother is missing I don't know where she could have went. But there's a lead, and there's been leads on where she might have gone. And believe me when I say I will stop at nothing in trying to find her. Regardless of how either of you plan on responding to this message, you best know that I will give a try at finding her anyway. P.S, I've missed you both dearly since your departure to that Arcane Institution. I find myself glad knowing that I will be there with you no sooner than a few days' time. Sincerely, your youngest and most sane sister, the darling favorite of our beloved mother, Nancy Doyle

TRIVIA ! !

✒️ Nancy's relationship with her father is practically non-existent, as the esteemed Mr. Doyle had since went out of frame of the family picture when his wife conceived her.

↳ Perhaps similarly in that regard, Nancy's relationship with both her older brothers is equally as stagnant. That isn't to say the three aren't on speaking terms, they just… grew apart.

✒️ On the off-chance where she isn't scolding him for his leisurely “work-shy” nature, Nancy can occasionally be found lounging around Ignihyde with Marene; reading while her oldest brother lay asleep for one of his regularly unscheduled naps.

✒️ Sebek has a one-sided “beef” with Nancy. For context, basically when she began attending NRC, she skipped out on the sorting orientation ceremony entirely in order to look for her brothers, Marene in particular; in doing so, she ended up encountering Malleus as she scoured the campus halls in search of her brother(s), and asked him for directions to Ignihyde, since that was where she deduced Marene would be. Unfortunately, Sebek ended up witnessing this interaction and believed it to be a disrespect to the high-standing and respect Malleus is expected to receive on the regular—and has since been giving Nancy the stink eye ever since. (She is clueless to this)

✒️ Like all other students in NRC, she misunderstood Nelly and Yuuta's relationship. She thought they were already dating, and since neither of them corrected her on it, her brain just sort of… accepted it as fact even when it really isn't.

✒️ Unlike her brother Arthur, oblivious to the mere existence of the eloquent and elusive Conan Doyle, Nancy is actually somewhat acquainted with Conan! If only for the fact that they're in the same dorm. She's come to trust Conan a lot, and in her head, believed that that trust is mutual.

✒️ Nancy's slightly scared of Victoria, and especially her harsh default scowl.

✒️ When Nancy was a little girl, she would frequently combine pre-existing boardgames together and come up with her own rules so she could have a wider variety to play with her mother, and occasionally her brothers!

↳ (She doesn't speak of this particular fact connected to it, however, in which she'd sneak off to visit her father's grave in the far-off edges of her family's garden, and pretend to play with him to fill that void of a lack of a father figure in her life.)
