Personally, I find it hard not to feel sorry for a kid who was, at best, tortured into insanity ater her blood was ripped from her veins and into a monster. As jerktastic as she has been, I maintain I can really see where she is coming from!
RIGHT!?!
I’ve always felt bad for Nancy….
The poor thing looks like she’s been through worse than Able!
After this page I just wanna give her a huge hug!!
Umm… nancy? If that’s your name… you don’t Look cool by encasing someone in crystalized blood, or by even attacking that same person’s friends! You really have socializing issues…
Blood is vital for closing the wound and providing the nutrients surrounding tissue needs to repair itself. The latter may be more difficult since he is outside her body (although the functionality of Monsters outside the body is still debatable)
Not so much healing powers as it is simple medical aid.
How is it that no one (that I’ve seen in the comments so far) has mentioned the awesomeness that is RED MAKING A BAND-AID FOR NANCY?!!?! This is the coolest idea I think I’ve ever seen that combines the properties of the organ and the monster. Magnolia, you are genius!
Hm…now I’m wondering if it’s just Nancy’s veins that were emptied, or if her internal organs were also stripped of blood. Also, now that I know that Nancy has blond hair, I can’t stop myself from comparing her to a friend of mine. Must….resist….feeling personally involved…. >_<
Ok, these two are officially my favorite now. All your monster designs are great, but the way Red moves and how you managed to turn a FLUID into a creature with such sweet personality where everyone can instantly recognize “Oh yeah, that’s blood” is really impressive.
I mean, all she wants is to be liked, maybe even looked up to. She’s been alone for so long she obviously doesn’t know how to act. She wasn’t taught social graces, or else, she’s been fighting for her life for long enough that she’s forgotten them…
It’s just like a middle school bully’s mentality…just wanting to get attention and seem cool, not realizing how messed up what they are doing is. I mean, that but on a level that involves potentially life-threatening organ-monsters, but still…I really feel for Nancy.
Once again, I’m reminded of how oddly matronly and caring Red can be. I figure that Red only helps Nancy because she knows that Nancy would end up in trouble anyway, and sees being her accomplice as the only way to protect her. I suppose it speaks for your drawing ability that I got all those feelings from a character that hasn’t spoken a single line of dialogue.
Nancy, you are a paranoid schizophrenic and you need help. Try to think about how you would feel if someone did that to you. I— *frozen in Red’s stasis*
I wonder if she didn’t intend to use Red’s power on Ayo later. You know, make sure all the kids know she’s rough and tough, assert her power over their younger (?) and weaker monsters, then suddenly bestow healing upon them and surprise them with how nice and helpful she is.
Question!! When we first saw Nancy, her hair was WAAAAY longer than that. I know it’s plaited and everything, but it still looks shorter than it should be……
(PS: Sorry.. I know how fussy I sound, I can’t help it.. XD)
Oh Nancy
What happened to you?
“I’m such a stupid idiot.”
… :’(
Yes, Nancy. Yes you are.
“…They were supposed to think I was cool.”
Well, now they think that you’re some sadistic psychopath…and an uncool one at that!
I dunno if Nancy is cool but she is officially my favorite and I can’t wait to find out more *_*
Noooooo, stop playing with me emotions!!!! I don’t want to feel sorry for her… and yet I do. （；＿；）

NO NANCY YOU’RE A JERK
YOU’RE BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD
oh you already do uh
carry on then
At this rate everyone is going to be my favorite character.
…Don’t worry Nancy I think you’re cool.
This webcomic is so good at creating multi-dimensional characters that make me feel for all them it’s almost criminal
I think many a fellow nerd here has just clutched their heart because of the emotional overload.
and with one line, Nancy immediately becomes extremely interesting.
That really hits the nail on the head.
poor nancy, just another confused and scared kid
And attacking them was supposed to make them think you were cool?
You’re one mixed up kid Nancy…..
Really cool page, Magnolia. Really really good.
DON’T CRY NANCY WE LOVE YOU
…. well, no, actually you’re kind of a jerk face. But even still!
Umm… nancy? If that’s your name… you don’t Look cool by encasing someone in crystalized blood, or by even attacking that same person’s friends! You really have socializing issues…
I was wondering if Red had healing powers. I mean, being blood and all it just seemed like it’d be one of his primary abilities.

But hasn’t every monster before done that?
??????????????

According to Magnolia all of her blood has been removed, even in her organs(possible her brain :p).

Because attacking people and threatening the lives of their close friend is the thing to do for cool.
Nancy I feel for ya dawg but you got no game gurl.
Ugh, my heart strings. They have been tugged!
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of my heart breaking…

“You’d think killing people would make them like you, but it doesn’t! It just makes them dead.”
Sorry if that’s a misquote. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. That line was still the first thing that came to mind, though.
Oh my god yes!!! I love this!!!
BAWWW Nancy, I think your cool!!
It’s just like a middle school bully’s mentality…just wanting to get attention and seem cool, not realizing how messed up what they are doing is. I mean, that but on a level that involves potentially life-threatening organ-monsters, but still…I really feel for Nancy.
No, I hate her!
Except I don’t. We all want to be cool, the Hero.
Maybe that’s why she acts this way? She just wants to be badass.

Good job, Nancy.
Nancy, you are a paranoid schizophrenic and you need help. Try to think about how you would feel if someone did that to you. I— *frozen in Red’s stasis*
Hey Nancy…? You wanna do something smart AND cool? LET BINA FRIKKIN’ GO.
She really needs to fess up and apologize.
Really though, Red and Kera would make for an awesome duo with their individual shapeshifting powers.
I love Nancy!!!

It’s never cool to assault people, bro…
It says so in my ‘How to be cool’ handbook.
I’m sorry Nancy, but Julie had the coolest shank. You just cant compete with natural assets like that!
Wasn’t that knife Able’s?
….Nope, still don’t like her.
Question!! When we first saw Nancy, her hair was WAAAAY longer than that. I know it’s plaited and everything, but it still looks shorter than it should be……
