This thread contains trivia about the character Nancy Beckett gathered from various sources (threads, bio, stories) summarized for easy reference.
It is added to as roleplay progresses.
• Adam Beckett used to wear his plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled down even on hot days to cover the track marks from his drug addiction. (‘The Day Before The World Died’, First Blood, Pre-Apocalypse).
‘Half the damn town knew Adam Beckett was filling his lungs with Greg’s crap.’ This line also indicates that Adam smoked his drugs. The man named ‘Greg’ mentioned is the same Greg in ‘Nancy Beckett, Bio’, ‘the cook outside of town who supplied him [Adam] with rocks.’, which implies her father used meth both by smoking and injection.
• Nancy dropped out of high school at the beginning of her senior year. (‘The Day Before The World Died’, First Blood, Pre-Apocalypse)
• Her best friend was a girl named ‘Emmie’. (‘The Day Before The World Died’, First Blood, Pre-Apocalypse)
• As seen in the First Blood story ‘The Day Before The World Died’, Nancy developed a crush on an older man named Michael Kershaw who ran the grocery store in Stillwater.
Apparently in her sophomore year ‘pretty boys stopped being attractive’. It is stated Michael was ‘nearly thirty years her senior’, placing him between 45-50 years old.
The events in Addler’s Grocery were the ‘last time she would see [him] alive’, indicating Michael Kershaw died when the outbreak hit Stillwater.
It is unclear if Nancy’s attraction was based on Kershaw personally or if she had begun to form a fetish for older men, however she currently seems to show no interest in males around her age.
• Nancy’s favourite weapon is a Remmington 770 Bolt Action Rifle. She scavenged this from an abandoned jeep in the woods near Jack and Helen’s farm.
(The exact location of the farm is never stated, however it can be assumed it was close to the area where Nancy and her brother crashed in order for Jack to find her injured. ‘Nancy Beckett, Bio’ states they were near a place called ‘Hillsboro’ when the other party chased them. This could be Hillsboro, North Carolina.)
• In the thread ‘1 Week Contact, 3 weeks rest’ pg12, when Nancy is shot in the thigh while fleeing, she discovers the deep muscle tissue damage caused by the burns to her legs has a numbing effect. She later overestimates this however when she demands Brian Green begin the surgery to remove the bullet without any painkillers.
(pg13) Once Green starts digging in the deeper muscle fibers she discovers the dead nerves are not completely numb and tries to use oxycontin and alcohol as analgesic.
It is not yet known how extensive this nerve numbness is or if the bullet wound will cause any permanent mobility issues.
