Nancy Drew is the main character from the PC game series by the same name. She is the only character to appear (vocally or visually) in every game. She is voiced by Lani Minella in all the games, making her the only character to keep her voice actor for the duration of the series, as a lot of the regular characters, like Bess and George, have different voice actors for the games. Nancy is an amateur detective who solves mysteries.

Fictional Biography[]

Nancy Drew is a teenager (approximately 18 - 19 years of age) who hails from the small town of River Heights. She has graduated from high school as she has mentioned several of her former classmates in various games, such as Maya Nguyen in The Final Scene and Deirdre Shannon in Alibi in Ashes.

In each game, she is stumbling upon a different mystery; however, in the newer games she tends to be hired for the job more often then not.

She is in some degree of a romantic relationship with Ned Nickerson, who is a student at Emerson College. She has a father, Carson Drew, who is a well-respected lawyer/attorney. Nancy lives with her father and their housekeeper, Hannah Gruen, who has been like a mother to Nancy, since Nancy's mother passed away when she was 3 years old.

Nancy has two best friends, Bess Marvin and George Fayne, who are cousins and often assist Nancy with cases, much like Ned. Nancy is friends with fellow detectives, Frank and Joe Hardy.

Personality[]

Nancy is kind, smart, and brave, but sometimes races into situations without thinking about it first. She often relies on her friends for help and is very resourceful herself. She believes in always doing the right thing.

Appearance[]

Very little is officially known about Nancy's appearance.

All throughout the Silent Spy and on the cover of Secrets can Kill are pictures of Nancy's mother, Kate Drew, whom Nancy is said to resemble. In Alibi in Ashes it is revealed that Nancy's hair is "titian", a reddish-brown shade. Izzy Romero in Warnings at Waverly Academy says Nancy's hair is "on fire" because of its red color. In games where Nancy can be seen from the third person, she has pale skin and appears to be relatively tall. Several characters have commented on how old fashioned and drab her clothes are -one character in Silent Spy assumed the jeans in her suitcase actually belonged to her mother. Nancy's full appearance has yet to be seen in-game. She is said to be quite pretty. In Alibi In Ashes, you can see Nancy's hair and skin color, but her face is covered by a post-it note.
