Nancy Wheeler, the queen of Hawkins Middle, is one of the most remarkable performers in the Stranger Things series. From the beginning of the series, she captured everyone’s attention, of course, you get entitled to be known as “The Queen” of a school for some reason not only because you’re beautiful. As of personal opinion, I thought Nancy would be an ordinary character when she appeared in episode 1, but later on after the disappearance of Barbara Holland (Shannon Purser), the way she bravely acts and looks out for her best friend in the dark mysterious places, truly wons the heart.
Throughout the series, our queen is full of adventures, an active lifestyle, and a mysterious explorer. Even her love life is also very interesting. At first, she got to date a cool big man from Hawkins Middle Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) later on after a few misunderstandings she fell in love with Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton), who somehow had a crush on Nancy Wheeler as well. Rather than her love-making abilities, she has got a lot more, she is excellent and good at solving mysteries, just like in season 3, thanks to Nancy she pulls everyone’s attention towards Mind Flayer’s new Demon.
