Nelly [limbus company]

appearance:Nelly is an olive-skinned woman with long brown hair tied up in a ponytail and golden-brown eyes. She wears the uniform common of the female Edgar Family Butlers, consisting of an ankle-length black dress and a white apron. Her dress is decorated with a silver crest at the collar, and her hair is adorned by a frilly white headband.

Nelly is always seen carrying a large brown suitcase slung over her right shoulder, where she carries her combat cutlery

personality:An extremely competent high-ranking Fixer in service of the Edgar family, Nelly is initially shown to be a very kind and understanding ally to the Sinners, accompanying them around Wuthering Heights as a guide. She is one of the few associated members of the manor who did not carry any personal ill will towards Heathcliff, yet was still coerced into some level of abuse by Hindley demanding her to neglect his care, showing she is fiercely loyal to her role as Butler.

Nelly is later revealed to have lied to the Sinners, having been not only completely aware of all the events that had transpired at the manor after Heathcliff's departure, but having been a catalyst for many of them. Having received a mirror from Hermann that showed her the possibilities of the Mirror Worlds, Nelly grew scared of suffering the same fate as her other selves, suffering due to the fall-out of Catherine and Heathcliff and being unable to live for herself. This caused her to grow bitter and resentful towards the world around her, eventually teaming up with the N Corp. Director to spur Catherine's death wish and supporting her in the creation of the laboratory.

Despite the resentment that lead her to conspire with Hermann, Nelly claims to carry no ill will towards Heathcliff and Catherine, fondly recalling the two's childhood and wishing for Heathcliff to know her actions are dictated not by contempt, but by her desire to be free and live the life she wishes. All through the events at Wuthering Heights, Nelly mantains a calm and polite demeanor with him and the Sinners, only truly breaking down when recalling the sorrow she saw through the Mirror.

Nelly had served Wuthering Heights for the majority of her life, as she was already a Fixer when Heathcliff first arrived to the manor, when he, Catherine and Hindley were still young.

Nelly describes herself as Catherine and Heathcliff's nanny, having been their main caretaker during their youth. She is often shown to be taking care of the children, making sure they went to sleep on time, comforting Catherine when she would complain of a ghost haunting the manor, and lecturing the children when they misbehaved and left the house without permission.

Nelly was Catherine's confidant, and was the person Catherine discussed her to marry Linton rather than Heathcliff with, a conversation that would lead Heathcliff to run away from the manor. Following Heathcliff's departure, Nelly took care of Catherine as her health deteriorated.

At a point, Nelly encountered Hermann, who gifted her a Mirror shard: by gazing into it, Nelly witnessed countless Mirror Worlds, which caused a great despair to take root in her as she realized she would likely remain caught in the crossfire of Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship no matter what world. This led Nelly to gift the Mirror to Catherine, kickstarting the events that would lead to the experiment through which Catherine meant to erase herself, an action that would free all versions of Nelly.During this time, Nelly would burn the letters Heathcliff sent Catherine, severing the possibility for the two to reconnect, and leading instead Catherine to marry Linton, which would give her the financial means to create the laboratory beneath Wuthering Heights. After the two's marriage, Nelly took up the role of Chief Butler of the Edgar family, and kept assisting

N Corp. in their summoning of Erlking Heathcliff, whom she would use to help Catherine acquire the manor from Hindley.

Nelly kept helping in the development of the laboratory up until Catherine was sealed in her coffin, after which she would send the inviting Heathcliff back to the manor.

Nelly was the one to first welcome the Sinners into Wuthering Heights, ushering them inside and guiding the group to the central hall for the reading of Catherine's will. She was the one to break the news to Heathcliff that Catherine was dead, after which she had to subdue him for obstructing the Öufi Association as they attempted to commence the reading. During a discussion on Butlers, Nelly mentioned the details of her contract, which tied her to only Catherine, and did not extend to Linton. After Heathcliff reawakened, she informed him of the situation the manor went through following his departure, until the first strike of lightning hit the manor, causing a temporary power outage.

Once the power returned to the building, Nelly and the Sinners were transported to a corridor within the building suddenly. Nelly led the Sinners as they attempted to navigate the transfigurated manor, warning them to watch out for the Dead Rabbits members, commenting on their red eyes. Nelly and Heathcliff discussed the state of depression Catherine fell after his departure, with Nelly appearing confused at Heathcliff's question on whether she'd gotten his letters, and replying they'd never received any. The group then reached the late lady's room and recovered her diary, which led them to the fireplace and into the basement.Upon descending into the laboratory, Nelly immediately recognized the Golden Bough within the coffin housing Catherine, pointing it out to the group. After combat ensued with Hindley, the Dead Rabbits, and the Ring scientists that manned the laboratory, and after Linton's corpse was utilized for the summoning of Erlking Heathcliff, the Identity took Catherine's coffin and fled to the rooftop, with Nelly following the Sinners as they gave chase.

While attempting to catch up to him, Nelly questioned Heathcliff if he, or any of the Sinners, understood the importance of the Golden Boughs at all, upon which she was brushed off by Heathcliff, who marched on relentlessly. Nelly stood behind as the group managed to reach Erlking Heathcliff thanks to Dante's newly developed abilities, and as Meursault restrained the man using his Chains of Others E.G.O. While the group debated on what could have been the cause for Catherine's interest in Mirror Technology, Outis pointed out that Nelly appeared to know far more than she had let on, having recognized the Dead Rabbits' eyes and having an amount of knowledge of the Golden Boughs. Right as she was exposed as a traitor, Nelly released Erlking Heathcliff from his binds, defending him as he traveled to the manor rooftop. Nelly attempted to buy time for Erlking Heathcliff by fighting against the Sinners, but she was defeated. At this point, Nelly revealed the fear that she had felt upon seeing into the Mirror Worlds, explaining her actions had been for the sake of breaking out of the shackle of Catherine and Heathcliff, who had bound and limited her freedom in so many worlds.Nelly made one last attempt to stop Heathcliff from progressing by revealing herself to have been the one to burn his letters before they reached Catherine. Shocked by the betrayal, Heathcliff suddenly disappeared on the spot, goaded on by Nelly claiming that he'd returned to the Backstreets where he belonged. Heathcliff was then helped out of his state by Dante and Catherine's intervention, and once returned, being aware he'd inherited the estate after Linton and Hindley's deaths, he declared Nelly free of her contract and asked her to do as she would with her life. As he and the Sinners proceeded to the rooftop, Nelly began sobbing.

Nelly would not return until after the death of Erlking Heathcliff and erasure of Catherine, at which point she swept in and secured the Golden Bough from the rooftop. Nelly declared that she would take it to Hermann, to which Heathcliff replied he'd eventually get his Bough and Catherine back. By this point, Nelly no longer had any knowledge of that name, and she simply commented by reminding Heathcliff the Boughs may make any dream come true, before leaving.
