[fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid white; width: 460px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; ]MEET NANCY ROSA ROMANO, ALSO KNOWN AS NANCE, CECE, AND, MORE COMMONLY TO THE STUDENTS, MS. ROMANO. SHE IS SAID TO RESEMBLE WINONA RYDER. SHE IS KNOWN AS THE TEACHER WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS, AND WANTS THE BEST FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. SHE MAY BE STRICT IN THE WAY SHE TEACHES, BUT SHE TRIES HER BEST TO BE KIND TO EVERY SINGLE STUDENT AND IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO BEND HER TEACHING METHODS SO THAT EVERY SINGLE STUDENT IN THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY LEARNS THE MATERIAL AND DOESN'T MISS OUT ON ANY LESSON. SHE WANTS ALL OF HER STUDENTS TO SUCCEED, AND SHE WILL GO BY ANY MEANS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO. SHE IS VERY DEPENDABLE, AND SHE LIKES TO THINK THAT ALL OF THE STUDENTS CAN TRUST HER WITH ANYTHING.
— cisgender feminine, she/her pronouns.
— asexual && demiromantic, with no preference. | not currently open to any romantic interests or sexual relations.
— forty-six years old, born on april sixth, making her an aries. she works full-time at the school, and during the summer, she works at her family flower shop, along with being her neighbourhood's local ice cream vendor.
— is badlands prep's english teacher, and also helps out in whatever clubs she can, whenever she can, as she genuinely enjoys being with the students and learning about what they enjoy doing in their spare time and how they interact with others.
— has been working here since she was thirty, so sixteen years now. she did so because she needed to provide money for her son, and left him at home in seattle with his aunt. it was a bit of a risky decision, as she wasn't quite sure exactly how well his aunt would be able to take care of him, but nancy visited him as often as she could on ever possible weekend and holiday, and gave his aunt daily reminders through phone calls and other ways of communication. it was one of the best decisions she could have made, because she both has enough money for her son now, and still manages to keep that close bond with him as strong as possible.
— she is very fond of the students at the school, and has always attempted to stay close to them and help them out whenever it is necessary. she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of others, everyone from the smallest child up to the oldest senior, and it is likely one of her greatest strengths.
— nancy is very EMPATHETIC of other people. she has a STRONG SENSE OF SYMPATHY and is extremely CARING, LOVING, and PROTECTIVE. although this is not always a good thing, because she gets EASILY ATTACHED to others, and sometimes gets a little too CLINGY or NOSY if she notices that they are having a hard time dealing with whatever is going on in their life. she is a bit of a WORRIER, and is constantly ANXIOUS, always worrying about one thing or the other. she's a very STRESSED woman and has been DEPRESSED ever since her eldest son died and her husband left, but she didn't let it stop her from taking care of her youngest, because she is extremely DETERMINED. there is not a person in the world that she doesn't want happy, and she always tries to have an OPTIMISTIC approach to life. no matter how sad she is, she is always HELPING others and, in full honesty, acting very MOTHERLY towards all of the students. she is a very KIND woman, despite being a bit OVERBEARING at times, and she really does mean well. she is quite EMOTIONAL and very emotionally SENSITIVE, and a lot of it is due to her worrying nature. despite all of her flaws, nancy is very GENTLE and PATIENT, and always a very INTELLIGENT and INNOVATIVE woman who simply wishes the world for everyone.
— nancy was born in seattle on a chilly night in april at 9:46 pm to lilah and jeremy romano, who already had a nine year old daughter at the time named marie. nancy was always very quiet and reserved growing up. with such a large age gap between herself and her sister, there was never really any close communication between the two. nancy never really had the chance to ever play with or grow too close to marie, but it never really bothered her too much. without anything to miss, she never really missed the interaction. due to this, she grew to be a very independent learner. she taught herself how to read basic words right before she entered kindergarden (with assistance from her mother), and only continued to excel from there. you could say that nancy was always extremely prone to emotional damage. she was only seven years old when marie died in a car crash, and even though they had never had a particularly close bond, nancy was devastated. the rest of her childhood passed by relatively normally. she grew to be quite the intelligent young woman, and she graduated high school with her diploma, a scholarship, and not to mention, a boyfriend. she married him when she was twenty-two, and they had a son the year after by the name of milo. milo was always a playful and happy kid, and was only ecstatic when he was given a new baby brother named nixon who nancy had when she was twenty-six. life was happy for a while, until milo died in a freak car accident with a drunk driver when he was five. nancy was torn. not too long later, nixon was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and her husband left, not able to deal with it. nancy kept going, and even though she now deals with depression and mild anxiety, she has a great bond with her son nixon, who has now graduated high school, and really appreciates that at least she has someone.
