HISTORY

Nancy is the middle child of her siblings, born on Valentine’s Day 2098 right in the middle of two sets of twins. This was the last year her father, Tucker, was a History of Magic professor at Ilvermorny. He had an opportunity to be a Cursebreaker in the British Ministry of Magic, and since it would bring him closer to his family (and Isabelle’s, as she too was from the UK) it was a no-brainer for him to take it. Despite her father’s tenure there, none of the Schultz children ever attended Ilvermorny as they were too young when they moved back to the UK.

When Nancy was three, shortly after the birth of her younger siblings (another pair of twins, shockingly) her parents divorced. It was an amicable break up, with both her parents remaining friends and doing everything they could to co-parent efficiently. While it was difficult growing up splitting holidays and weekends between her parents houses, Nancy still felt like she had a loving family upbringing. Their parent’s divorce was just a fact of life that they dealt with. As of the start of her third year, neither of her parents have remarried. Her mother had two or three serious boyfriends growing up that she can remember, but only one - Jacob - got to the point where she actually introduced him to the children, and they broke up fairly shortly after that.

With two pairs of twins siblings, Nancy learned early on that staying quiet and out of the way was the best way to get through life. This might make it seem like she is the black sheep of the family, but on the contrary - she’s quite close with all her siblings and her parents. Still, when her family headed to the beach, she was happy to sit under the umbrella reading a book while her siblings frolicked in the water. She always sort of felt like the odd one out being in the middle, and sometimes overcompensated for this by trying extra hard in school or extracurricular activities in an effort to stand out. This led to a bit of a breakdown when she was 8 years old, and she had to be homeschooled for a year while she dealt with her anxiety. Thankfully, she has a pretty decent handle on it now.

Due to the fact that she was quiet and minded her own business, she didn't really receive the brunt of her parent's vastly different parenting styles. Her mum had always been more hands off, whereas her dad was more strict. Her grandmother is also generally much more lenient on her than her siblings. Her mother told her that it was due to her Hufflepuff sorting - her grandmother had been distraught when Tucker was sorted there, and probably had lingering guilt over her ridiculous over-reaction, so she is much gentler with her than her siblings.

PERSONALITY

When she was younger, Nancy was generally one of those people who started off very quiet. After starting school, however, Nancy has become far more extroverted and is no longer terrified to start conversations with her peers. She is also more likely to make appearances at events, when in the past she would have much preferred to hang out in her dorm with a good book or her latest knitting project.

She has both the compulsive need to be liked while also wanting to avoid people quite frequently. Her social battery, while more energy efficient than it used to be, still drains quickly some days. Kind of just depends. She is also very creative and loves to have different projects going at all times. Whether it's knitting, making friendship bracelets, drawing, or learning new instruments - she likes to keep busy and is always looking for something to entertain her! Her balance between doing activities she likes intermingled with her schoolwork has rewarded her with relatively good grades, and has helped her anxiety remain low while at school.

THE HOGWARTS YEARS
The time had finally arrived - it was time for Nancy to head off to Hogwarts! Having one older brother in Slytherin and one in Ravenclaw, she was eager to see where the sorting hat wanted to put HER. She figured she would end up in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, and to her surprise - she did in fact end up in Hufflepuff. Nancy tends to be very loyal to her friends and family, so her sorting made sense. Her father Tucker was also a Hufflepuff - much to her grandmother's dismay.

Nancy quickly found that Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms were her favorite subjects. Activities that required lots of moving around - not so much. She's very much a 'sit and take notes' kind of gal. She found that she quite liked the fact that she was also within walking distance to the kitchens. She spent the majority of her term exploring the castle, making friends, and trying to get used to the Hogwarts routine.

Her second year, she began to open up more, making more friends and becoming more social. Her parents were thrilled - they had been convinced she was going to be a recluse at school, so the fact that she not only had friends but had MANY of them was very relieving to them both. Instead of hiding in her dorm, she could be found more and more in the common room, working on craft projects or her homework.

FUN TIDBITS
-Despite being born in Boston, Massachusetts, has a South London accent since they moved back to the UK when she was a toddler. She holds dual citizenship, as do all her siblings.
-Her parents got her a kitten for Hogwarts that she did NOT ask for, so now she has a cat. His name is Hades.
-Does not get along well with her older brother Joseph for whatever reason - that tends to a trend in the family, but she's trying now that she's older to understand him better.
-Played the flute and did competitive tennis when she was younger.
