Nancy Wheeler is a Survivor featured in Dead by Daylight, based off the original character from the Netflix series Stranger Things. She and Steve Harrington were introduced in the Chapter DLC "CHAPTER XIII: Stranger Things."
Overview[]
Nancy Wheeler is an aspiring journalist, able to make acute observations and gain insights that others may miss.
Her personal Perks, Better Together, Fixated, and Inner Strength, give her the information and courage she needs to tackle unexpected challenges.
Lore[]
Studious and rebellious, Nancy Wheeler is a stubborn investigator with an instinct for a good story. When her closest friend, Barb went missing, she did everything she could to unravel the truth and secure justice. A brilliant journalist, she chases stories and follows leads despite the inequality and chauvinism she encounters at the workplace. Pursuing a lead one evening, she fearlessly approaches the Hawkins National Laboratory before suddenly losing consciousness. A moment later she awakens in a strange misty realm with the sound of a familiar roar echoing through the air.
