| — NANCI |
NANCI is an enemy in OMORI. She is one of the many variants of SOMETHING that can be fought in-game, only within a hidden alcove in VAST FOREST.
PROFILE
NANCI is a black four-legged creature with two horns on her head. Her legs resemble that of a spider's, and are pointy at the ends. The mouth opens up at the bottom, showing no lower jaw, and the upper jaw looks similar to cave stalactites. NANCI also has the usual sideways white eye. She doesn't have the art style seen in the game, and instead has a clay texture.
STORY
On the first visit to LOST LIBRARY, she makes a brief appearance as a silhouette alongside few other SOMETHING variants at the trees near the end of the library. This hints of them manifesting more of themselves into HEADSPACE.
NANCI can be encountered in the VAST FOREST after defeating HUMPHREY. To summon her, go into the first cave when you enter the forest, and interact with the tree that has the tire swing. Doing so will cause eyes and hands to appear around the screen, and a black silhouette of hanged MARI will appear with the white eye. This hallucination quickly disappears afterwards, and the tire swing will disappear. If the player exits the cave and reenters it, NANCI will appear, moving around.
If one accesses RED ROOM, a hidden BLACK SPACE location only accessible via the SUNNY ROUTE or the MIXED ROUTE, the player can discover a zoo of multiple SOMETHING variants lurking around. This includes multiple roaming NANCIS as well.

Every turn, each enemy will start by trying to use the skill listed at the top. If the calculation fails, they move on to the second skill and so on, until reaching the final skill which is guaranteed to activate. Each calculation is done independently from the previous ones, so the added percentage is not 100%.
*This skill is named SELF ANGRY in the game's data.

TRIVIA
- NANCI's presence as a whole serves a dark reminder of SUNNY's repressed memory of MARI's hanged corpse. This is evidently apparent with an early encounter of SOMETHING lurking near that location as well.
- It is also evident through the unused DO NOTHING text of "??? sways back and forth".
- Although NANCI has a move (SELF ANGRY) that turns the user ANGRY, it doesn't work as she is immune to EMOTIONS. This is also because enemies related to BLACK SPACE cannot feel EMOTIONS.
- She even has a DO NOTHING skill but it is also unused in-game. If it was used in-game, the text mentions "??? sways back and forth". However, the text in the game is replaced with "Liar".
- In the game's data, the DO NOTHING skill named as LIAR has the description: "Just for the little basil in black space Not for Abyss".
- Like with the other minor SOMETHING variants, everyone in the party will be AFRAID at the start of a battle, except for OMORI. This will not be the case if a character has equipped with PAPER BAG.
- NANCI is one of the two SOMETHING variants fought in only one location, the other being MERCI.
- NANCI was originally intended to be fought within BLACK SPACE.
