**P.I. Jancy True** (US: /'d͡ʒæn.si·'tɹuː/) is a character in *Drawtectives*. She is voiced by and was created by Julia Lepetit.

## Biography

### Background

Jancy True is a highly decorated private investigator. At one point, she helped bail out Sergeant Pierce Steel, who was falsely arrested, a gesture still cherished by Steel to this day.

### Murder at Crescent Hill

After solving the case of the Murder at Crescent Hill, Jancy decided to form a team of detectives and thus hired Gyorik Rogdul, Grendan Highforge and Rosé. To test their detective skills, she asked them to solve the murder themselves without her aid.

When they arrived at Crescent Hill, Jancy was reunited with Steel.

Over the course of the night, she guided the Drawtectives through each of the rooms to interrogate the respective witnesses. She occasionally helped them figure out clues, but generally waited outside of the room to catch a break from them. When the team had solved the case and correctly named Emery Justice as the culprit, Jancy congratulated them and took them back to the Detective Agency. Soon after, they went to Huck E. Heese to celebrate their first case, along with the other witnesses.

### Disappearance of Harold

Two months later, partially due to needing detectives, and partially due to missing York, Grandma, and Rosé, she called upon the three to find a missing dog. While they interviewed suspects, she stood watch behind one-way glass. After minimal progress, even once Jancy went over their current information, she revealed the truth of the case, that the missing dog was never stolen, but just hiding in a bush. Jancy and the rest of the Drawtectives went to Huck E. Heese once again, to celebrate.

### Between Cases

In the following interim, Jancy gave Rosé a paid internship in order to keep her from committing further crimes, alongside the occasional detective job. During Rosé's time there, she would often tell her that "A little more care here means less mistakes for you to fix in the future." One day, after investigating and finding out Rosé's true birthday, she got her a Cake Turtle cupcake. Alongside her work life, she also began to hang out with York, Grandma, and Rosé regularly. On one occasion, she and the other three went to a zoo to see the rhinoceroses, where she explained the concept of sex to Grandma as York and Rosé were stuck in the snake pit. She attended York's first fashion show unannounced and gave him the courage to go through with it. After the show, she bailed Grandma and Rosé out of an altercation with security guards after they attempted to sneak into the show and create a ruckus.

### The Celestial Spear

Months before the Drawtectives awoke aboard the Celestial Spear Express, Jancy showed up at Joe Beans, and gained a job at the café under the name *Fancy Brew*. Despite this similarity to her real name, she had no memory of her life before entering Gareville. She was quite busy with work, and never ended up exploring much of the city, notably knowing of the Harvey Hornswoggle Circus, Club Vega, and the nearby river. One day, York, Grandma, and Rosé, along with Eugene, entered the shop and ended up drawing their dearest memories with her, leading to parts of her memory vaguely coming back.

## Special Ability

### Jancy's Unnamed Ability

This ability allows Jancy to know which rooms in a given building have witnesses and/or clues.

This ability is used in S1E02 to mark off the rooms in Crescent Hill which don't contain something useful to the case.

## Personality

True often appears very tired and disappointed in her team of hopeless, inexperienced detectives.

## Appearance

True has a very tall and lean posture. She has short grey hair, prominent cheekbones and often sleepy, half-lidded eyes.

### Clothing

* Formal blue jacket with a high collar
* White buttoned shirt
* Red sash around the arm
* Brown gloves
* Formal blue pants
* Red socks
* Brown shoes

### Equipment

* Eye-shaped pin
* Wooden cane with a golden handle and base
* Cochlear implant

## Relationships

### Sergeant Pierce Steel

As it was P.I. True who exonorated Steel when he was falsely accused of a crime, Steel likes Jancy and trusts her detecting abilities, which might be why he employed her to help with the murder at Crescent Hill. Jancy on the other hand seems to be unimpressed of Steel's abilities as a police sergeant and only choses to humor his Drawing Challenge so that he will leave and give the Drawtectives the space to roam free.

### Joebeans

After working for Joebeans while in Gareville, the Drawtectives hint that there may be deeper feelings to their relationship. Jancy waves this off, but the two are seen together in the final splash art.

## Trivia

* Jancy True's name is a parody on Nancy Drew.
* Jancy is the only character to have appeared in the thumbnail of an episode twice (S1E01 and S2E10).
* She likes tiny cakes.
* She mentioned having seen a movie in which a character shoots lightning out of their hands with her nephews, therefore implying that she has at least one sibling.
* Due to the fact that she has a cochlear implant (which is mostly visible in S1E11), it is fair to assume that Jancy is deaf or hard of hearing.
* In a Drawfee stream that took place on 10/28/2019 at the 1:03:00 mark, it is implied she has a grandson named Davis True. However, this was during a bit so the canonicity is questionable.
* Describing her ability, Jancy states, "Okay! So my ability, which is great for detectives...". It is unknown whether the name of her ability is *Great for Detectives*, or if that was just a description.
