History

Nancy Whitehead attended ESU to study Computer Science, and was Doreen Green's roommate and best friend.

During an attempted armed robbery at the campus' bank, which was thwarted by Squirrel Girl, Nancy deduced her roommate's secret identity due to the fact that one of the rodents she was using was Tippy-Toe, Doreen's pet. Later that day, Nancy confronted Doreen regarding her heroic alter-ego, and became her confidante. Since then, she has helped Doreen in several adventures.

Nancy with her hair dyed red

• Due to a lie told by Squirrel Girl, Iron Man's superhuman case files have it recorded that "Nautical Nancy" can speak to boats.
• Nancy likes to knit, sew and write fanfiction.
• From Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (Vol. 2) #1 to #5, Nancy had her hair dyed red.
• Nancy is one of the few people that Loki considers a friend, largely due to her invention of "Cat Thor".
