Nancy

Nancy operates at the heart of Llanfairfach’s scientific community as a capable assistant to Professor Jones, splitting her duties between domestic support and practical research assistance. She moves between the mine, the lab, and emergency rooms with quiet competence, handling both fungus cultivation and crisis management without fanfare. While often cast in supportive roles—tending to casualties, preparing antidotes, or maintaining the lab—she asserts scientific capability when needed, volunteering to synthesize fungal extracts during life-or-death moments. Her pragmatic resolve surfaces most clearly under pressure, as when she voices frustration at being dismissed as merely a caretaker while Jones lies in a coma.
