Moderators: The Administrators, Moderators
The richest kid in class, Nanette is the teacher's pet despite being an average student. Her hair is golden blonde and styled into long ringlets in emulation of her mother's look (though it is strongly suggested in the episode "Gordy in a Plastic Bubble" that she dyed her hair blonde after Gina Lash looks at a strand of her hair under a microscope and sees that the roots of her hair are actually brunette like her father's hair). She is the main antagonist of the series who is manipulative and has wrapped Mrs Brinks around her finger with constant praise and gifts, although Mrs Brinks had moments of anger with Nanette, (such as the ending of the episode "Return to Sender" after learning the truth about being a pawn giving her detention when Angela read an insult she wrote about Mrs Brinks and in the episode "Earhart's Heirloom" where she accidentally called Mrs Brinks' birthday nothing). The perfect little angel to adults, Nanette is devious, cunning, snobbish and mean, exercising the worst of her traits on Angela and her friends. She is very proud of her looks, constantly bouncing her golden hair. Her interests are a posh variety of activities such as baton twirling, ballet, painting and ice skating. Nanette uses her family's wealth and status as a way of asserting her superiority over her classmates, especially and specifically Angela. Because of her French first and last name, Nanette arrogantly believes that she is full-blooded French - a belief shared only by her mother. She sprinkles her conversation with misapplied French phrases, explaining their meaning incorrectly; for example, she believes "pomme de terre" is French for "apple polisher", "liaison" is French for "lesson", and "Crêpe Suzette" is French for "overpriced pancake"; however, she uses applied French words and phrases in other instances. She also erroneously believes that Marie Antoinette was a natural born French queen (she did rule France but she was actually from Austria). Nanette's mother speaks with a Southern American accent while her father has an accent similar to that of John F. Kennedy, actually making her American (though perhaps her ancestors were immigrants to the United States from France). Nanette has a huge wardrobe full of designer originals, but nearly always wears a French girls' state school school uniform to school, complete with a beret (In the episode "You're So Vain" she wears a rather flamboyant pink frock, in the episode "Goodbye Mrs Brinks" she dresses as a stereotypical punk and even nicknames herself as "Bruiser", and she wears pink lacy pajamas when she goes to sleep at night). She owns a poodle named Ooh La La, who is male and had a relationship with Angela's dog King in the episode "Puppy Love", and has a personal butler named Alfredo, who provides for her but doesn't care much about her family. She also won the heart of an Arabian prince in the episode "Who's Sari Now", the force of the wind blowing her hair (making her look a lot like Medusa) ruins it to the point that the prince is disgusted by her. Despite being nasty, Nanette does hold much talents, such as spending the entire episode "Don't Overdue It" balancing a book on her head (and staining it with hair gel) and writing a "three act Greek tragedy" in the episode "Ancient Greeks" and casting all of her classmates in "the lesser roles" such as Jimmy Jamal as Zeus, Johnny Abatti as an eagle, Gina Lash as Dianeses, Gordy Rhinehart as Hercules. In the episode "I Wanna Mould Your Band" she, January and Karlene appear to be singing the song "Everybody Wants to be a French Girl" very well, though it was later revealed that they were "lip syncing" using a speaker concealed inside Nanette's beehive wig.
