Nancy

Nancy is the full-time bartender and master of hospitality for the U.E.A. Serving as the first point of contact for anyone who arrives at the guild hall she has helped many members join as well as manage the guild when many of it's Archmasters are away.

## History

Nancy was hired on at the founding of the U.E.A by Leona Nekorin due to her reputation as a mixologist who has work in bars throughout many nations, primarily Tierra Del Leon and Mashara.

Nancy's was born as a half breed of Bovine father and Kito'an mother who was remarried. Her early life she lived to the fullest being a socialite and party girl. She surprisingly earned a scholarship for the University in Unity City, however squandered it attending to frat house parties and other forms of procrastination. To pay for food and housing she did part time in a very quiet bovine pub. Eventually she did dropout before being kicked out of University and took up bartending full-time. Which is enjoyed but got bored and decided to try working in clubs and other fancy bars moving up the hierarchy in addition to traveling around to different cities for work up until joining the U.E.A.

In the U.E.A Nancy serves and continued to serve as front of house making sure the bar was clean, informing members when jobs where being updated, serving food and drinks to members and travelers and maintaining rumors and gossip. She herself has attended the least amount of missions than anyone else in the guild, however when she does go on missions they are often low-threat solo missions or more difficult missions in an emergency. With much of the guild's expansion she's more comfortable taking days off or attending missions leaving the bar in charge to Roxy or even Raa.

Early in her career with the U.E.A Nancy started to suffer from waves of Narcolepsy after arguing and treated to loses her job she was examined by Sorona Raksa and found she had several health problems related to her being a very heavy-weight alcoholic. After being forced into rehab she gave up alcohol for [10] years, she now has the occasional drink during celebrations or when testing a new cocktail, but has since started and leads her own support therapy group. Late in her rehab she started doing training with Heifania to loose weight and learnt some of his fighting techniques.

## Personality

In Nancy's youth she was a bright girl who made friends quite easily, however in her late teens she started drinking and going to parties, becoming quite frivolous and fell into acting a bit more unintelligent at times to go where the vibe was at. After leaving University and working as a bartender she got more serious but didn't loose the persona until during her rehab for being an alcoholic in the U.E.A. She now channels that same energy into being a 'ray of sunshrine' or positive, keeping a smile whenever she greets guests. She would often act in a manor to draw attention to and oversexualise her chest, which she still does to some capacity but is lesser as she has gained better body confidence.

Nancy is a loving and caring person who treats her friends, and even strangers, with kindness. Nancy plays a motherly role within the guild, and is often seen running the bar at the guild hall and always checking in with every member of the guild when she sees them, showing genuine interest in them as well as hobbies, even if they are beyond her. Often shown in her patience and support she shows in Kaira and will happily always accept hugs from her. She has rarely been shown to be in a bad mood, and can tolerate all of the guild's eccentricities and isn't offended if people just want space. However, there have been a couple events that have disturbed Nancy, including being plagued by nightmares, suffering waves of depression & health problems when she was an alcoholic and finding out her sister had been a victim in The Night of Gears. But did her upmost best to keep professional manor on the job.

Along with running a bar, Nancy shows great talent in book-keeping, math, mana-theory, as well as alchemy/chemistry. Often she hand-waves her knowledge and doesn't show much interest in exploring these talents further, until recently when she has applied to return to doing her University Degree in Mathematics. She likes cooking and has since her younger, frivolous years. However, doesn't need to for her job as Nabi would often man the kitchen, but will make things such as a cake for Kaira for coming such a long way. She is sensitive to being called stupid, as shown when she cried due to someone in the guild unknowingly calling her an idiot.

## Abilities

* **Psionics:** Despite being half-pantheran kito'an Nancy does posses a very faint psychic ability in the form of a minor telepathy. It's heavily limited and she is unable to use it for speech but she knows when someone is next to her or if someone nearby needs something. Which helps with her job or if someone is trying to sneak up on her if she knows someone is about.
* **Martial Arts:** Nancy is a bovine martial artist who was taught by her first boss self defense during work then later by Heifania in more advanced techniques, In contrast with her soft personality, is deceptively tough. Her fighting style involves primarily punches and lower-kicks, and she uses knuckles and claws as her weapons. Her skills put her on par with most guild members despite not partaking in many missions. Her training with Heifania is also made apparent by her physique, others commenting on her "burly muscles".
* **Bartending:** Nancy handles the finances for U.E.A bar giving the Archmaster and Roxy detailed reports for foodstuff, and sales each month. When preparing cocktails, she performs tricks with the shaker, her showmanship used to garners higher tips from patrons. Nancy can by memory list every guild members favorite drink & food, allergies, magic & abilities and birthdays.

### Magic

Nancy isn't a practiced mage. She can perform very basic Earth and Fortune magics, but doesn't reliably use them in combat and uses it very limitedly in the workplace such as cleaning dust away. However she does have a few passive auras that she has active from time to time.

* **Unarmored Defense:** A very basic earth magic that can make Nancy a little bit more durable, but she often uses it when picking up sharp objects like a broken glass off the ground or touching a hot pan to not get burnt. This aura also sometimes actives with--
* **Dumb Luck:** Nancy has a lucky aura, that helps her improve her odds in her day to day life. It isn't something that she can control and it rarely works on smaller things such as catching a glass or calling a coin toss, haveing a very low chance of occurring. The ability often only happens on life changing moments or events, such as avoiding getting rapped several times at parties, landing a job at the right moment or being introduced to Suzy's sister at the right time. Nancy has no control over the Aura but is aware of presence, and named it during her University years. The aura does little to help her in combat and it never gives her an edge it only protects by increasing her chances to avoid death or life altering injuries. By no means does she ever think she is invincible because of it and uses it as a sign that maybe she needs to improve herself.

## Equipment

* **Fists of Grant:** Is a pair of knuckles made out of chunks of iron fitted with finger holes. She preferred to knock the lights out of violent drunkers with these hunk of iron, which incidentally caused heavy stagger.
