Nan Quest/Characters

Nan
Our protagonist, Nan is an electronics technician and repairman. She liked to play arcade games as a kid. She is lazy and lets quite a few work orders stack up before she gets to them. She has the ability to hum showtunes.

Tropes:

""Of course Nan's wearing a bra. She needs support when she's on the job.""
 * Accidental Pervert: Nan gets a peek of Henry's bare bum from the crack of his door when he went to go change. Subverted by the fact she wanted to do it.
 * And again when she barges in on him changing while changing!
 * Buxom Is Better: (In contrast to Ruby) Early in the game, one player asked whether Nan was wearing a bra or not, to which Weaver replied:


 * Ridiculously Average Goat: "Nan never really considered herself in terms of traits like that before. But if she had to choose one she'd probably be known for her ABILITY TO HUM SHOWTUNES. Actually come to think of it Nan isn't really sure what makes her special. Maybe nothing."
 * Standardized Leader
 * Weapon of Choice: Improvised rebar spear, and later a lead pipe.
