Summary

Nancy was abducted by aliens and had a story in the newspaper written about her. Astral discovered her through this article and went to meet her after he learned that he was actually an alien. At first, she doesn't believe him, but Astral proves his magical capabilities to her. It still takes some convincing, but Nancy eventually moves into Astral's compound and helps him find new members to join their Connection.

She is an especially attractive target for alien abductions now that she's already been abducted.

She stays primarily in the Little House, a tiny house separated from the Big House which the alien royalty (Astral and Teresa) claim as their own. Astral believes this will direct alien attention to their compound more broadly, or so he says.

Personality

Nancy knows that she knows better than most of the younger people in the Connection and acts accordingly. She is very maternal toward others, but she still participates in both sex magic and just casual sex, having a bit of a Mommy!Domme vibe to those who find that an appealing dynamic.

She's proud of the alcohol that she brews in a shed behind the Little House. It sells well in markets when Astral goes into the city. Despite that, she doesn't drink it too often, as she's often happy to swallow pills that would not react well with alcohol.

Magic Powers

Nancy is purely a "terran" magician and one of the least capable in the Connection. Georgie was also part of this category until they discovered her necromancy (which took many, many years). They considered themselves magical inferiors and the most un-alien and un-talented of the bunch.

Appearance

Body Features

Nancy has long, straight red hair and freckles. She's short and lean, which she thinks contrasts nicely with Astral's tall, broad form whenever it's just the two of them together.

She is deaf in her left ear after a head injury she sustained slipping down stairs as a teenager.

Clothing and Dress

Nancy enjoys dresses and doesn't enjoy wearing underwear. She prefers hot weather where that arrangement is more comfortable.

She usually wears her hair in a long loose braid.

History

The current year is 1969.

Nancy was born on April 12th, 1920. She was the youngest with four siblings. During the Great Depression, she did whatever she could to help her parents, including occasionally working on her own as a cleaner.

In the year 1948, she was abducted by aliens. She took her story to a local paper where she described their strange insectoid bodies and their singing, although she never claimed they did her any harm specifically. Her family chalked it up to attention-seeking behavior and began to distance themselves from her. Eventually, she fled the mocking attention she received and went to live in a trailer park by herself.

Astral arrived at her trailer in 1955 and claimed to be an alien. She didn't believe him, but after demonstrating his magic powers she was forced to concede that something was special about him. She agreed to a camping trip where he promised to show her (with the help of psychedelic drugs) his alien form. That night, a horrible, grotesque figure twisted beyond recognition slithered its way behind the trailer. Astral untwisted their body, healing them, only for the person to warn him that even though he's a capable magician, he's certainly not one of the most powerful. This event brought the two of them closer, and Nancy agreed to join Astral at his compound.

Nancy was the first and only member of the Connection for a couple of years while Astral worked on establishing their fruit orchards and livestock, as well as beginning his extensive collection of materials for magical research. Along the way, he taught her basic magic, but they discovered she had no gift for pyrokinesis in particular. Some of the more advanced magic that Astral taught himself was out of her grasp. They were both content with this: Nancy from her strong comfort with herself, and Astral from a place of not wanting competition.

It was hard work for just the two of them, though, and Astral was very eager for more people to join them. They had long discussions about what kinds of people to bring, how to find them, and how much information they'd be given in the beginning. They had a few failed attempts, and Gary was the first one to stick.

Relationships

Astral: leader

Astral has proven himself a capable man to Nancy, although she finds his manipulative ways troubling and his emotional immaturity frustrating. Still, she trusts him, and she worships him as a divine figure. Gods are fickle.

Teresa: leader

While Nancy can be a bit condescending to Teresa, given their age difference, she defers to her magical abilities and recognizes her as a fellow divine being beside Astral.

Bishoy: friend and lover

Bishoy is very dear to her. He arrived as a troubled youth with a lot of anger toward the world. He felt condescended to by people closer to his own age, but Nancy tried to treat him as an equal from the beginning. They've spent many nights together, high as kites, while Bishoy recited interesting nonfiction books he'd read over the course of his life.

Georgie: sweetheart

Nancy first met Georgie as a young person who truly needed proper parental figures in her life. Astral could be one, and she vowed to be another. Georgie initially struggled with a new "mom," given her experiences with her biological mother, but she soon grew to love Nancy and appreciate her. Before Georgie discovers her necromancy, consider themselves magical equals, the true terran magicians of the Connection, and that only deepened their bond.

Mac: ???

Nancy doesn't know Mac very well. She likes that he likes Georgie as much as he does, and she's happy to embrace him as part of the Connection, but otherwise has little opinion of him. His homoflexibility does not include attraction to her, and she's fine with that.
