Damsel in Distress: Although Nancy can handle herself in nearly any situation, there have been times where she will need the help of her friends to rescue her from a challenge too big.It could be justified in that Nancy's mother died when she was very young (age 10 in the original, but after the series-and the franchise itself-is revised, it's changed to age 3), so Carson ultimately had to raise his daughter as a single parent-with their housekeeper/cook, Hannah Gruen, acting as a motherly figure to Nancy. Daddy's Girl: She may not always listen to him when he tries to tell her to not run toward something she should run away from, but there's no denying she loves her father- The Silent Spy really analyzes this.Constantly Curious: A big part of why she does what she does.Comic-Book Time: Nancy seems incapable of growing past her teenage years, no matter how long the series continues.
Chief McGinnis gives her a chance to prove her innocence by figuring out who set Town Hall on fire.
Clear My Name: In Alibi in Ashes, she's framed for arson and spends most of the game in the police department. Brutal Honesty: More like Brutal Straightforwardness, but some of her dialogue is downright painful. Bound and Gagged: Happens quite often to Nancy during the course of an investigation when a villain gets the drop on her, but Nancy's skills are so vast she's able to untie herself and get back to sleuthing.
Born Detective: All of Nancy's abilities seem to be inherent she's just an amateur sleuth, after all. Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: She's the redhead to George's brunette and Bess' blonde. Nancy: (in the middle of stealing them) I'm just.
Lou: What are you doing with my snowshoes?!
Bad Liar: Thank God her suspects seem even worse at spotting lies. Most of the game focuses on her friends and boyfriend gathering evidence to prove her innocence. She's this as a plot point in Alibi in Ashes where she is framed for arson in her hometown. Usually, she manages to get herself out of it, though. Awesomeness by Analysis: She gets surprisingly little of this, actually, but when it does happen it's awesome. Anti-Hero: In her darkest moments, she treads into this territory, such as blackmailing Henry into giving her an important object for a puzzle. Alone with the Psycho: Anytime she uncovers the culprit, especially if they are dangerous and want to kill Nancy. She performs her daring feats in heels and a skirt, no less. The Ace: Smart, pretty, independent, successful, etc Nancy has this down pat.
