'''Age:''' 62 years old.
'''Race:''' Passive.
'''Place of Origin:''' Eastern Anaxas -- Brunnhold University.
!!!Backstory
Nanette was the only child of the Bonnet family. Her upbringing was comfortable and plush. Her parents lavished affections and material joys on their only daughter. Intelligent and quick-witted, Nan was an avid conversationalist. (This talkative trait has carried over into her old age as well.) Nan loved to spend the afternoons cooking -- and talking -- with her mother. This engendered a healthy respect for and love of the culinary arts. As well as food, Nanette was passionate about playing silly pranks on her friends. If ever a child loved to laugh, it was Nanette!
Her initiation test at age ten revealed her to be a passive. Just like that, her world was thrown upside-down. Nan's parents decided that it would be kindest to give her to Brunnhold. Her father's rather clinical parting gift was a copy of 'Innocent's Minds: Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely'. Thus began Nanette's long life of dull servitude. Initially set to work as a general maid, her life was not particularly invigorating. The only things that lightened up an otherwise dreary existence were the silly pranks she found herself playing on those who 'were just asking for it'. As the years went by, Nanette's knack for cooking was discovered. More and more often, she was put on cooking duty. This was something of a treat for her; Nan has come to associate being put on cooking duty as a kind of reward. Nanette discovered her first treasure, 'Dr. Weisenhower's Proper Methods for Preparing a Wound for Surgery' in a rubbish bin she was emptying. She has read the book cover-to-cover so many times that the pages are beginning to fall out. This is where Nanette learned her first aid skills. Nanette, being a passive, does not have a reading permit and thusly keeps her two books hidden dreadfully carefully.
In all of her life, Nanette's diablerie has not manifested itself once. The worry that it might ceased to plague her long ago. Now, Nan lives her life free from worry. Fulfilling her duties as a maid (and, ocassionally, cook) to the best of her abilities is her chief concern. ... That and watching hapless new students fall victim to one of the multitudinous pranks she's sprinkled throughout the school grounds.
Nanette hasn't ever attempted escape from Brunnhold. Her life experience was so limited that comprehending a world outside of the halls of Brunnhold was inconceivable... up until now. At sixty-two years old, Nanette is at last beginning to entertain the thought of escape. It's a thought -- an unformed and malnourished one, but it's growing by the day.
!!!Personality
Talkative and effervescent, Nanette has been a dependable individual since day one. Thorough, responsible, and steadfast, once this old woman's mind is made up, changing it is nigh impossible. Having lived her long life as a passive, Nan holds a well-constructed façade of subservience. She knows when to keep her wrinkly little head down and when she might push the envelope. Nan is not by nature duplicitous; rather, the life of a passive servant has engendered a sense of self-preservation that manifests itself as the aforementioned placidity.
If one takes the time to get to know this old lady, they'd find a wit as sharp as a blade and a humor twice as exorbitant. Nanette is very clever. She likes to hide her intelligence by feigning dementia on occasion. Nanette has a mischievous streak; using four sugar cubes in the faculty's tea instead of one, or purposefully invading a classroom when class is in session to clean, for example. Nanette is not malicious, but her mischievousness can sometimes be downright devilish.
Nan has a down-to-earth and practical nature. She has an excellent sense of humor, developed by years of disappointment living as a Caged passive.
!!!Physical Description
Always a hale and hearty individual, Nan has made it to the ripe old age of 62 years old. Despite being something of a fossil, Nanette is a sprightly old biddy. Standing at an unimposing five-foot even, a slight kyphosis of the spine due to her age leaves Nan's posture hunched. Her face is squarish and rather plump. A receding hairline sprinkled with cobweb-like bangs hints that she may have had at one time upheld a reasonably fashionable 'do. Liver spots speckle her temples and crow's feet pull cheerfully at her eyes.
Nanette's hair has long since faded from its rich ink-black to a snowy white. Its texture is thin and wispy. The Brunnhold faculty haven't yet bothered her about her medium-length hair; at her age, any flowing sex appeal it might have once held is long gone. The harmless old lady is permitted to keep what's left of her hair. Her eyes are large, ultramarine-blue and magnified behind a pair of tiny reading spectacles that perch with difficulty on her upturned nub of a nose.
Nan's clothing is conservative and the generic powder-blue of most Caged passives at the Brunnhold university. Since she is rather old, Nanette's passive tattoo is actually located on the small of her back, not the shoulder as is typical of younger passives.

!!!Goals
Nan was initially interested mainly in security and peaceful living. As the years go by, though, Nan has come to the realization that she isn't getting any younger. This has piqued the thought that she hasn't really lived. Fifty-two years living as a Caged passive and what has she got to show for it? A bum hip and burnt fingers!
Nanette's current secret goal is to escape the Brunnhold university somehow. She hasn't thought very far ahead, though. In the very unlikely event of her escape, she would have no idea what to do with herself.
