Nancy Mitchel

Nancy Mitchel is a resident of Lower Duck Pond.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Nancy has lived in LDP her entire life. She does not remember anything before or after.
Nancy Mitchel (née Anderson) was born at home during a séance on June 28th circa ~1977 (although her exact year of birth she never discloses because it's rude to ask a lady's age) to two unnamed parents, her twin sister, and a brother. Her brother is presumed to be older than her. 
Her mother was a fortune teller, and passed the art of Demon Summoning and Exorcism down to her. Her father was unemployed and there was no hope that he would get a job, because his head was emptied while he was trying to get one (after Nancy performed her first exorcism on him when she was three). 
Nancy learnt how to cook apple pie when she was a young child. Before, the recipe was in her head, and she knew how to cook it from birth but just hadn't learnt the proper motor skills yet. On a related note, at the age of ten, she and her sister had a dispute on whether apple pie or raspberry pie was better, and this fight was so horrendous (heads rolled, literally) their relationship has not been the same since. While her sister prides herself on her raspberry pie, Nancy refuses to bake any other kind of pie except apple pie. Because of this rivalry, she often tries to spoil her nephew Damon, who's her sister's son, to make her her life a struggle. 
As a teenager in her first year of high school, she was initially on the Richland High School Cheer Team for a brief period. Once she realised that she wasn't the athletic type and she was bringing the whole team down she quit to pursue her pie dreams in the Culinary Club. She soon became president of said club and commanded everyone to bake apple pie, so long as they didn't try to compete with hers. 
During her gap year, she travelled to Puerto Rico and had a brief relationship with a local. They separated due to differences in their views on pies, however the argument wasn't as terrible as the one with her sister. 
In University, she majored in Culinary Arts and English Literature. Whether or not Culinary Arts was a real major she did not care. She was going to major in it. Nobody could stop her because Nancy was a threat to society. A threat to society that people were too threatened to get rid of. She graduated top of her class in Culinary Arts, and second in English Literature only to the "other Nancy". 
===Adult Life ===
As an adult, Nancy was much the same as she was before. She got her first job in 2002 as a security guard, often performing her duties at games at Mallard Field, and during the 2003 LDP Mallards murder incident she met her husband, Richard Mitchel, who was a member of the task force. They hit it off right off the bat, literally, when Nancy was illegally handling evidence (a baseball bat) whilst leaning out of the commentator box, and dropped it on his head. While he was hospitalized Nancy brought him some of her apple pie as an apology, which caused him to be further bedridden. After a vicious cycle of apple pie giving, he realised he was stuck with her and popped the question. 
They married on December 1st 2004 in King's Falls National Park, and on January 3rd, 2007, they had their first son, Michael. In early 2009 they had Joshua, in late 2010 Beanie was born (he was premature) and their last son, Henry, was born in 2012. 
When the case of the murder was reopened in 2016, Nancy was the main suspect. She cleared any suspicion off her by baking her "extra special" apple pie for all members of the investigation, despite her husband's efforts to put her in jail. The case was closed soon after. Ever since then, Nancy has been baking Richard apple pies to keep him bedridden so he could't try to reopen the case for a third time. 
On Friday 13th (October 10th, 2023) someone dropped beans on her porchhttps://www.reddit.com/r/HaveWeMet/comments/1ei2x07/who_dropped_their_beans_on_my_porch/, amongst many others. It's unknown who did this, but it's probably a bean syndicate. Many months later, after finally figuring out how to work these "newfangled devices," she came forward. She stated she was going to feed them her "special apple pie"https://www.reddit.com/r/HaveWeMet/comments/1eitweq/re_beans/ once she caught them. One or two people have come forward, and several people are suspects (including that blonde lad from Apple Road, Dave, and Betty) and a confrontation was planned. However, Nancy was stood up, and the bean syndicate never came to light. There was one user who hid behind an anonymous account and claimed they were the one who beaned everyone, though this and their identity has not been confirmed.
Soon after the confrontation was planned, Nancy planned a Bake-Offhttps://www.reddit.com/r/HaveWeMet/comments/1ekgklq/anyone_want_to_host_a_small_bakeoff/. She stated that she was going to get her son Michael to grab ingredients for everyone, but this never came to be.
Nancy asked the residents if they wanted to participate in the Bake-Off on the 5th of August 2024, and on the same day, Michael went missinghttps://www.reddit.com/r/HaveWeMet/comments/1eknc6c/has_anyone_seen_michael/. This was not the first time it happened, nor the last. The last time, Michael had been found in a cardboard box in an alleyway in Hydroelectric City before after running off. They found him thanks to Nancy's niece. This time, he was last seen holding a blue cake box, listening or whistling (Michael can't whistle) to a track, leading along a donkey and holding several ice cream cones. He was probably high.
Nancy headed to Hydroelectric City to search for him.
==Personality==
Nancy is a nice woman and often invites her neighbours over for apple pie. However sometimes she can be quite deadly, such as asking "for an extra 10k to keep my mouth shut".
She will do anything to get what she wants. Nevertheless, she often goes along to/hosts community events for her fellow residents, such as the Bake-Off.
== Appearance==
Nobody knows what Nancy Mitchel looks like (except those who have met her. She just does not know how to use a camera). The image is merely an illustration, or a reference.
She is, quite simply, just a middle-aged woman with four sons. That is how you should imagine her.
Her sons, Michael, Joshua, Beanie and Henry all have very different personalities. 
* Michael presumably smokes, seeing as he stole five lighters. Nancy describes him as a "scoundrel", and he's always on voice chat gaming. He's known for being a menace in the community. He also gets seasick. 
* Joshua once drank "cursed" lemonade, which Nancy made him spit out. 
* Beanie was named by his uncle. He once took in a stray three-legged cat and named it Tiddles. They have since adopted another kitten, because Beanie was upset he had to let Tiddles go. 
* Henry got a concussion from dropping his phone on his head on a loop-de-loop at Thrillseeker Park and has not been the same since, even frothing at the mouth at one of her demon summonings.
* Her husband is in the task force, and often bedridden because he has severe apple allergies and Nancy constantly force-feeds him her apple pie.https://www.reddit.com/r/HaveWeMet/comments/1ekklq1/comment/lgldwlp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button 
* Once, he got knocked five feet by a car from North Bennington right after recovery.
== Hobbies==
She regularly goes out for tequila slammers with the girls from her uni in Upper Duck Pond. She also participates in community events with Nora Reeves, who lives on her road.
Nancy is an avid baker, and her apple pie is very famous in Lower Duck Pond as previously mentioned. She can cook anything she sets her mind to, but if you ask her to bake a pie that contains things other than apples she will be rendered unable to move for a short period of time. This may be because of PTSD because of her disagreement with her sister.
She conducts exorcisms and séances in her free time, either free of charge or paid for. Whenever things go wrong she usually tells people to get exorcised. Nancy needs ingredients like mayo, ketchup and chocolate flakes for her séance, and often buys out the whole stock to the dismay of the rest of the town.
==Trivia == 
* She and her husband have been married for at least 20 years.
*It is still amazing he hasn't divorced her yet.
* She is known for embellishing the truth.
*Nancy is part of a senior exercise group with Nora Reeves, despite saying she is young at heart.
*She and Nora are neighbours, and became friends because of that and the fact that they went to the same high school in their youth.
* She also has a niece who lives in Hydroelectric City. They seem to be on good turns, and her niece keeps her in the loop about things.
* Nancy is a believer in the supernatural and holds a séance every Friday the 13th. For what reason, we do not know.
*She signs off all her messages with "- Nancy xx".
*Nancy first appeared on the subreddit in August 2024.
