Nettie Steele-Machete is a character role-played by netsirk.
Introduction[]
Known for her melodrama, Nettie is a former member of Emergency Medical Services who is prone to dragging others into her romantic misadventures in her free time. Her sweet and friendly exterior is just a façade as she's an incredibly mischievous woman who takes great joy in gas-lighting and emotionally tormenting her peers with her outlandish schemes and antics.
She's currently homeless and living out of a car after she deliberately burned her house down to spite her husband in the midst of an argument.
Background[]
"Yeah, my siblings all died in a fire. Believe it or not, it was on Christmas. It was really unfortunate. My mom also died in that fire." - Nettie
Due to Nettie being a pathological liar, much of her backstory is a mystery as she lies so frequently about her past that she often forgets the truth.
Her place of birth, hometown, pets, and the status of her family are all constantly in flux as she usually makes up stories about them on the spot. Though, a common thread in many of her childhood stories typically involves her committing some form of arson and her family dying in a fire under various conditions.
Despite typically being dishonest about her past, Nettie has sparingly alluded to formerly being a detective; something which Travis Tribble, Jenny Hall, Jackie Snow, Reid Dankleaf, and Olivia Copper have also made passing references to on separate occasions.
Personality[]
"Nettie, you are the most energetic sprite that I have ever worked with." - Mari Jones
At her best, Nettie is a bubbly and manic ball of chaos. At her worst, she's an incredibly toxic pessimist. Despite this, many know her as a sweet and kind member of the EMS due to her bedside manner from months of working to save lives throughout the city.
Nettie loves drama and is willing to go out of her way to cause it both directly and indirectly. She's been known to deliberately lie and start arguments for little more than her own amusement, particularly with her romantic partners. Until recently, the relative privacy of her relationships has kept this side of her personality hidden from the public eye.
Nettie exhibits many telltale signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder but her condition largely goes unnoticed due to people perceiving her as eccentric and cute. Many of her crueler jokes are actually genuine sentiments that fly under the radar. She has also implied on numerous occasions that she may have impulse control disorders such as kleptomania and pyromania. Since resigning from EMS, Nettie has become increasingly unstable and is now more receptive to violent solutions for mundane problems.
Nettie is also a known enabler and frequently encourages delinquent and irresponsible behavior. She is especially dangerous when paired with impulsive or impressionable individuals. The most notable examples include: Agnes Ranbough, Wilhelmina Copperpot, Bree Matthews, Jordan Steele, Chips Ahoy, and Bailey Jade.
Appearance[]
"Have you seen me? I'm an Albino." - Nettie
Nettie is a fair-skinned, blue-eyed woman who is most easily identifiable by her blonde mohawk and smudged mascara.
Nettie has a strong aversion to wearing clothing that she deems to be too revealing. She typically wears pants, boots, long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, and jackets. She also owns an unfitted tuxedo. Prior to a mix-up at the cleaners, she used to sport her favorite EMT jacket at all times while on duty as a medic - even after being promoted to the rank of Paramedic.
After having a stint as a manager at Steele Family Parking, Nettie acquired a taste for wearing suits to non-formal occasions.
Timeline of Events[]
"I'd just like to say that my time here has been swell and I owe it all to E. E. Cummings... and Mountain Dew... and emotional turmoil. So just remember me as I once was, okay?" - Nettie

Relationships[]
Reid Dankleaf[]
"Well, you used to be a detective-lady. What does your gut tell you?" - Reid
| The Detective Arc - 1.0 |
|---|
In 2017, Nettie and Reid were engaged while they were both officers in the LSPD. Travis Tribble, and several other officers, frequently like to muse about this period in the department's history as Nettie was the head of the Criminal Investigation Division while Reid was the Chief of Police, and both have since developed reputations as being incredibly unstable people.
Nettie would eventually have a breakdown when Reid threatened to jump off the roof of the Legion Square Bank after she had attempted to end their engagement. Reid's intent was to coerce an emergency ceremony and force a marriage on the spot. Nettie was later saved from the situation by Kareem Lyon when pulled her aside while she was changing into wedding attire and convinced her not to give into Reid's emotion blackmail. Reid eventually ended up jumping off of the bank and faked his death, but he'd would eventually reemerge some time later. |
| The Nostalgia Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
 In the years following, Reid and Nettie have returned to being friends and frequently reminisce about their past as officers when they occasionally run into each other. Reid is notably one of the few people in the city who were supportive of Nettie and Jordan's relationship while she was still in EMS, going as far as telling her that Jordan was his favorite cop and that they would be welcome in The Lost should she decide to leave EMS after Jordan had been fired from the LSPD.
In June of 2020, some members of the Lost began plotting their revenge against Steele Security when a former member, Samuel O'Faolain, died as a hostage when Steele Security breached during a bank robbery that was being orchestrated by the South Side Ballas. Shortly after Sammy's death, Rudi Rinsen, Wyatt Derp, Gazz Maloo, and Reid began making plans to infiltrate Steele Security by having Wyatt apply for a job at the company as he had been away from the city for over a year. Nettie was largely absent from the city during the onset of these events, but on the day that she returned, she attempted to smooth things over with Reid. Unable to parley with him, Nettie was told that she was on his shit list for being associated with Garage Q and that his only terms and conditions for peace were if Pepe would give him his Ricky sock to have intercourse with. |
Tessa Lamb[]
"But I thought you were my Lamb Chop..." - Nettie
| The Innocence Arc - 1.0 |
|---|
 An old flame, Tessa is a soft spoken woman who Nettie first met as a police officer several years ago. Despite never formally going on their planned date, Nettie took to calling Tessa her Lamb Chop as a pet name and frequently mused about developing things further. At the time it was viewed as a wholesome pairing by their peers, and Nettie had high hopes of leading a fulfilling relationship, but things fell apart when she had to leave the city. |
| The Scorned Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
 After spending over a year out of the city, Nettie eventually returned and reconnected with Tessa in early 2019. Nettie had hoped to pick things up where they left off but, after spending a few weeks together, Tessa broke the news that she had already started seeing another woman in Nettie's absence. The revelation that Tessa had begun exclusively dating Amara Harte crushed Nettie's spirits for a brief period and she began seeing her therapist(s) more frequently to cope with the heartbreak. It was during this same period that Nettie was hired by Emergency Medical Services as a trainee. Because of this experience, Nettie would eventually begin developing more aggressive and objectifying habits when dealing with women who she had crushes on and frequently began emotionally cheating on women who she was interested in, often to deliberately bully them and create conflict to keep them from becoming too attached. These habits became most notably early on in her relationship with Dr. Tracy Martell. 
Sometime later Tessa and Amara became engaged. Bitter about the success of their relationship, Nettie began plotting various ways to get back at them with some of the new friends she had made in the city. Though, these plans would eventually fall to the wayside as she began focusing her attention on her relationship with Tracy instead. Nettie then went on to spend several months without interacting with Tessa, going through multiple relationships before she eventually became engaged to Jordan Steele. Nettie and Tessa eventually reunited with each other in December during a chance encounter at Pillbox. It soon became apparent that Nettie's disdain for the Tessa and Amara hadn't died down and that she continued to hold a grudge. Despite being amicable and friendly on the surface, Nettie continued to concealed a deep-seated hatred for the couple. It was during this time that she would frequently make passive aggressive comments and start disparaging rumors behind Tessa's back. 
On New Years Eve, after having an argument that ended with Tessa breaking off their engagement, Amara got into a vehicular accident and slipped into a coma. On January 3rd she succumbed to her injuries and passed away while in the ICU at Pillbox. Nettie gleefully pounced at the opportunity to revel in Amara's death, making several derisive comments regarding her passing to other members of the hospital staff, mocking the notion of needing grief counseling, and musing that the only real loss from her passing would be the impact it would have on shift coverage for doctors. Nettie even went as far as attempting to start a rumor that Tessa was the one responsible for Amara's death, much to the ire of Pixie Plum. Though, Nettie quickly realized that her zealous enthusiasm was a faux pas that many were put off by and she refrained from following through. |
| The Parking Terrorism Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
In the months following Amara's death, Nettie feigned having an authentic friendship with Tessa as a ploy to scam money out of her on various occasions. She would go on to periodically take advantage of Tessa's emotional fragility on several occasions. Most notably, Nettie frequently attempted to coerce Tessa into signing up herself and her father, Sam Baas, for Steele Security's weekly protection packages. At the time, Baas was in the ICU after being the victim of a terrorist assassination attempt orchestrated by Talon. Nettie leaned on Tessa's weariness of her father's mortality and ultimately convinced her to pay for him several weeks in advance. 
In July, Apples and August hired Tessa to help plan their wedding. Nettie was largely missing in action for the bulk of the planning, causing her to step down as August's maid of honor, though Apples kept her on "retainer" as a backup pilot in the event that he needed a replacement for Bryce for the after party jet ride. On July 17th, Apples and August held their wedding at Chumash pier. Tessa was shocked by the abrupt show of violence during the ceremony when several of the groomsmen stabbed and shot Kyle Rogain before throwing him over the pier after he attempted to crash the event. After the marriage, the newlyweds left the pier in a private limo with Bryce, Nettie, and several other "VIP" guests to go on an aerial tour of the city for the after party before the reception. Leaving many of the party guests behind as the LSPD arrived on scene to take statements. Unbeknownst to Tessa, Nettie was aiding Apples and Pepe Silvia in hijacking the private jet mid-flight as part of their plan to rob and execute the people marked as VIPs on Apples' guest list. One by one Apples, August, and Pepe threw several passengers from the aircraft after Nettie had commandeered the pilot seat from Bryce. The fatal flaw in their plan was the lack of fuel, causing to aircraft to eventually crash when Nettie attempted to make an emergency landing at the Sandy Shores airfield. Several hours later, Tessa confronted Nettie at Garage Q, as she had learned of her involvement from Bryce and Flop after they had been treated at the hospital. Tessa glared at Nettie in disbelief as she wryly rattled out various lies and made little effort to conceal her involvement in the scheme. Nettie then attempted to briefly coax Tessa into planning another reception as August and Apples missed theirs due to the crash and Tessa gave her a firm no. Nettie took the disdain in stride and left the conversation, telling Tessa that they'd have to catch up sometime. |
Tracy Martell[]
"Who else is going to be with you? Nobody knows you like I do. Nobody's crazy enough to be with you, you crazy bitch." - Tracy
| The Abused Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Nettie and Tracy were formerly in a hot and cold relationship that spanned several months and saw the couple constantly at odds over slight misunderstandings, much to the exasperation of their friends and co-workers. It was agreed upon by both parties that they needed chaperones for their dates as they'd be likely to kill each other if they were left alone for too long. Despite their often abrasive relationship, they both cared deeply for each other and expressed their affection via extreme cases of highly possessive jealousy when they were apart. This included stunts like "going straight", framing a potential suitor with vehicular manslaughter, bribing members of various gangs to gossip about each other, threatening to stab romantic interests with dirty syringes, and lying about dating other people to make each other jealous.
Nettie and Tracy first met on AOL and agreed to start seeing each other after chatting in person. Tracy made note that Nettie used deceptive camera tricks for her profile picture, but thought that she was still cute despite not liking her nose. Nettie would eventually work up the nerve to circumvent her then crippling social anxiety and asked Tracy to be her girlfriend, to which Tracy agreed.
Shortly after Tracy and Nettie began dating, Tracy caught Nettie hitting on another woman and became intensely jealous. She confronted Nettie and declared that they were "brakked", a slang term which Tracy uses in place of "break up". Tracy also began going through a goth phase while trying to cope with her insecurity surrounding the breakup and started wearing all black. Later that day, Tracy would then seek to make Nettie jealous by asking Amara Harte to marry her as she knew that Amara stealing Tessa Lamb from Nettie was a sore subject. Nettie and Tracy would eventually reconcile their differences before their shifts ended and agreed to try setting up a date later in the week. For their first date, Nettie wanted to do something that would show off her bad girl side for Tracy and she received some ill-fated advice to stage a robbery/kidnapping to impress her. Despite running the idea past Brenda and being advised not to do it, Nettie went forward with the plan when she happened across Mia Mersion and Ryan Parker while they were in the Pillbox lobby. Mia and Ryan pitched a scenario where Nettie and Tracy would go on a tour of the harbor at which point Nettie would take the keys for the boat at gunpoint and go joyriding with Tracy. This plan quickly fell apart as after Nettie stole the speedboat Tracy pointed out that they were no longer chaperoned. This caused Nettie to turn the boat around and kidnap Mia and Ryan, much to their confused dismay. Fortunately, the date ended without anyone dying, despite Nettie at one point attempting to abandon Tracy at sea during an argument.
At some point, Tracy got it in her head that she should test how faithful Nettie was. This led to her going to the Vanilla Unicorn and a paying local stripper, Dee Mented, to seduce Nettie with a lap-dance. Little did Nettie know that Tracy was waiting in a nearby booth to spy on her. Unfortunately, the poor acoustics of the room led Tracy to believe that Nettie was, "chowing on her leather cheerio" which ended up causing a massive fallout between the couple the following workday. The conversation ended with Tracy declaring the couple 'Brakked'.
Eventually, the two ended up signing a contract to un-brakk but not before Nettie had already spent a week playing the field with both male and female suitors. The contract went through several revisions before Tracy finally agreed to the stipulation that she take Nettie on a second date and that they apologize to each other. Shortly after getting back together Tracy took several days off from work for her mental health after being kidnapped and forced to surgically attach limbs to a quadruple amputee. During this period Nettie continued spending time with suitors she had courted during the previous breakup. On the day Tracy returned to work, the couple got into a heated exchange over an illegally parked car in front of Pillbox and Nettie let slip that she had been seeking out attention from other women in Tracy's absence. The ensuing argument ended with Tracy declaring the couple brakked again.
Several weeks after their third breakup Tracy began intermittently trying to get back together with Nettie, but the spark had already been lost. Despite Tracy's best efforts to entice Nettie with her usual tactics, the couple never formally reconnected. Tracy at one point even made a long-shot attempt to rekindle her romance with Nettie by proposing to her while they both operated on a patient, but nothing came to fruition as the pair haven't worked the same shift since early October. Nettie has taken to jokingly assuming that Tracy has died. |
| The Pickup Artist Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
| Being a bit of a flirt, Nettie had no shortage of romantic attention during her initial breakup with Tracy in the Fall of 2019. This led to her getting into numerous mini-dates with various women across Los Santos. Despite at one point officially getting back with Tracy, Nettie would continue spending time with some of these women.
Most notable among them were: A former member of the Bondi Boys MC, Ester was one of Nettie's closer friends after she'd been dumped by Tessa Lamb. Despite Nettie incessantly bullying her from the moment they met, Ester was still willing to help Nettie in sorting out her romantic endeavors and even helped her assemble a "sexy" outfit while cloths shopping. Ester was one of several women culled from Nettie's list of potential suitors as she'd grown fed up with juggling so many potential relationships. Another member of the Bondi Boys MC, Daphne initially allured Nettie with her bad-girl aesthetic and her habit of addressing Nettie as beautiful every time they crossed paths. Daphne and Kitkat both notably among the few people who drew attention to the fact that Tracy's behavior sounded emotionally abusive when Nettie described their relationship. Nettie and Daphne went on 3 separate outings before Nettie eventually disqualified her as a suitor. The first was when Nettie accompanied Daphne on a chicken delivery in Paleto on her day off. Several days later the would go on a second outing, it was during this outing that Daphne took Nettie to the BBMC "billabong" and showed her several Class 2 guns from Dundee's stash. The flex raised several red flags for Nettie as she was worried that the association could incriminate her due to her job as a medic. Daphne eventually went on to push her luck when she attempted to hold Nettie's hand during a conversation on the Del Pierro Pier, and Nettie leapt off the pier and into the water to escape their conversation. The third, and final, outing saw Nettie meeting with both Daphne and Ester at the Mirror Park lake where she formally cut ties with Daphne, with the final straw being Daphne's admittance to being bisexual and her suggestion that Nettie explore open relationships. A motorcyclist who Nettie met at Premium Deluxe Motorsport while she was practicing dating techniques that she'd learned from watching online pickup artist tutorials. Nettie's initial intent was to use April as a vehicle to make Tracy jealous after she'd bragged/lied to Nettie about having sexual relations with Ricky Robins. Nettie went on several outings with April before they eventually stopped seeing each other after Nettie decided to get back together with Tracy. The only one to initially survivor Nettie's purge of suitors, Kitkat and Nettie went on to have a very cute relationship that lasted all but 24 hours before Nettie found out Kitkat had cheated on her with Jerry Callow. Kitkat was notably the only woman who Nettie read poetry to during this period. At one point Kitkat had also dressed up as Nettie for a cosplay contest without realizing it was the outfit that Ester had helped Nettie create. Jean at one point sought Nettie out as a romantic partner during a bi-curious phase when she was plotting to divorce Jordan. She would later try to seduce Nettie again after confronting her about her engagement to Jordan. |
| The Old Flame Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
| After having been separated for close to a year, Tracy came barreling back into Nettie's life shortly before her marriage to Jordan. Despite the initial animosity for having been abandoned by Tracy the previous Fall, Nettie began wistfully pining for her old flame's company again.
Nettie would periodically begin to stalk Tracy with the intention of kidnapping her and playing out fantasies of having a fulfilling relationship that never was. This would eventually lead to Nettie plotting out scenarios where she'd force Tracy to go on "dates" with her where they would have their pictures taken to fill out a photo album.
On March 7th, while answering a call for Steele Security, Jordan was confronted by Tracy about his engagement to Nettie and she demanded that he, "give her girlfriend back". In an attempt to bully and antagonize Jordan into leaving Nettie, Tracy told him that she was the one responsible for getting him fired. This 'revelation' sent Jordan spiraling into a rage and he plugged a gun on her, threatening to "fire her from life". After composing herself from panicking about the gun in her face, Tracy then admitted that she found out shortly after she attempted to sabotage Jordan's career that he had already been fired. Tracy then pointed out that everyone in the hospital knew that she had pinged him and they were last seen together. This caused Jordan to pull into an underground parking garage where he began letting her go to call things even. Tracy disagreed that they were 'even' and continued demanding that he break up with Nettie because she believes that he's going to get her fired, the dispute escalated with a verbal sparring match where Jordan called her an alcoholic and Tracy claimed Nettie forced her to drown her cats in a bathtub. Jordan then offered to let Tracy go if she drank all the alcohol on her person. Despite her initial reluctance, she complied and drank 3 bottles of whisky and a bottle of vodka. In a drunken state she began demanding that Jordan let her drive. Jordan complied and then dialed 911 claiming that Tracy had kidnapped him because he's engaged to Nettie and was drunk driving. Tracy would eventually blackout from alcohol poisoning and be rushed to the hospital for emergency medical care. Later in the day, Jordan confronted Nettie about Tracy claiming to be her fiance and, in disbelief, Nettie claimed that she thought Tracy was dead. Several hours later Nettie would agree to start ramping up the preparations for their wedding and Jordan raised his suspicions that Tracy may try to crash it. On May 30th, after having not seen Tracy for close to 8 months, Nettie ran into her old ex in the emergency lane of Pillbox. Upon spotting Nettie, Tracy immediately accosted her and they started arguing. Nettie was livid that Tracy abandoned her while Tracy was upset that Nettie was claiming to be straight and married a man. Being in denial about the situation Tracy insisted Nettie's relationship with Jordan was just a stunt to spite her. Their argument nearly boiled over when Tracy perpetuated the lie that she had previously told Jordan, that she was the one responsible for getting him fired. This false revelation nearly sent Nettie over the edge as she considered assaulting Tracy on the spot with her hatchet. Fortunately the presence of Dan Faily deflated some of the tension as the former couple turned their aggression on him when he interjected into their conversation. Dan then briefly pulled Nettie aside, worried for her mental health, as she claimed she was going to shoot her ex and he feared that she may have been hallucinating after an encounter he had with with her earlier in the week. Once back at the lot Nettie began working herself into a frenzy and resolved to kidnap Tracy for her earlier claim, as Nettie believed that Jordan getting fired was partially responsible for the current state of her life. Shortly after, Nettie ran into Natalie Martell, a woman of no relation to Tracy, while she was trying to park her taxi at Garage Q. Nettie insisted that Natalie help her with something after briefly ranting about Tracy to her. Natalie quickly became worried that Nettie was trying to coerce her into aiding in the kidnapping of a government employee. Once they were in a vehicle, Nettie sped off with Natalie, insisting that she didn't need a mask and what they were doing wasn't a big deal. Nettie then pulled over in front of traffic and stole a Primo from a random woman because it reminded her of Jordan. On their way back to the lot Nettie began speculating about the best way to get Tracy out of the hospital but was caught off guard when she saw Tracy jogging to the lot, so she struck her with the stolen car and then abducted her at gunpoint. After a heated exchange in the car, Nettie drove Tracy to a secluded parking lot with the intention of executing her, but relented because she felt that Tracy was too annoying to be bothered with and opted to take a picture with her for old times sake instead. Nettie then drove back to the lot with Tracy and let her go after robbing her. Roughly half an hour later Tracy returned to the lot and confronted Nettie again, insisting that she divorce Jordan, otherwise Tracy would quit her job as a doctor and become a cop to harass Nettie. Nettie then antagonized Tracy with Pogg Dann and Tracy left the lot to visit MRPD in hopes of finding an officer to discuss joining the police force. Nettie and Pogg left the lot shortly after to confront Tracy at MRPD as the idea of Tracy being a cop terrified her. While Tracy was lost in her train of thought, Nettie snuck up behind her car and left a menacing not claiming that Tracy would never become a cop because she's "a crazy bitch!"
Several weeks later Tracy resolved to quit her job as a doctor after doing a ride along with Randy Wrangler. On June 24th, Tracy met with Rocko Colombo and enrolled in the Police Dispatcher program for the LSPD. During this time Tracy would develop a passive-aggressive rivalry with Tessa as they were both vying for the opportunity to join the police force via the dispatcher program. On July 17th, after helping her fellow dispatchers take police reports from various Ricky related crimes that had cropped up due to Apples' wedding, Tracy found herself being harassed by Nettie again. After seeing Tracy make a disparaging tweet about Ricky Robins, Nettie called Tracy and began threatening to kidnap her again as she needed more pictures for their photo album. After a brief argument on the phone Nettie hung up while breaking down and began referring to herself as a womanizer. Shortly afterwards, Nettie went to MRPD and attempted to aid a kidnapping attempt on Tracy by luring her outside. During their brief exchange Nettie relented to Tracy's insistence that they used to be engaged and even made an attempt to smooth things over. She was eventually able coax Tracy into coming outside until Lauren Forcer and Tessa intervened. Tracy would eventually be kidnapped by Pepe Silvia and Louis Baton but they were both apprehended by the LSPD shortly after fleeing the scene, despite Nettie's attempts to run interference and distract the pursuing patrol car. Nettie would next run into Tracy after returning from her hiatus in early December. They briefly quarreled over Nettie's continued marriage to Jordan and Tracy becoming a cop. Their exhange became heated after Tracy began to repeatedly insist that Nettie was still a lesbian. During the tail end of their argument Nettie learned that August and Louis had passed away in her absence. Tracy pounced on the opportunity to emotionally torment Nettie and repeatedly insisted that her friends were dead because she abandoned them, "Just like you abandoned our relationship." Tracy then left the lobby of MRPD and attempted to further gaslight Nettie by shouting that she was going to shoot up the pediatric ward of the hospital because of her memories of their relationship while working there. |
Katherine 'KitKat' Kaspar[]
"So I just looked up the definition of an abusive relationship on Google, and that... uhhh... that ticks all the boxes." - KitKat`
| The Heartbreak Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Katherine, or 'KitKat' as Nettie called her, is an aficionado of the supernatural who fancies herself a ghost hunter. Her sweet and friendly demeanor quickly won Nettie over as a friend and the pair ended up spending quite a bit of free time together both during ride-alongs and while Nettie was off duty. The two would later grow closer after spending an evening together bonding over a ghost story, reciting poetry, and discussing Tracy's toxic behavior. Nettie would later surprise Kitkat by asking her out on an official date. The date was initially delayed when KitKat was abducted by Denzel Williams and Ricky Robins in front of Pillbox while she waited for Nettie to get ready. Ricky and Denzel took KitKat to Del Perro Pier on a forced date with Jerry Callow. Shortly after being returned to Pillbox KitKat was immediately abducted again, this time by Siz Fulker and Al Saab for a bank robbery. The continued delays left Nettie irate when she eventually picked up KitKat and took her to a secluded cove where she could explain herself. At the end of their first date, Kitkat caught Nettie off-guard by asking her to be her girlfriend. The official status of this relationship was short-lived, however, as the following day Kitkat would go on a second date with Jerry to the grand opening of Zee Nanakaze's new restaurant. An act which would enrage Nettie once she found out; as she had planned on taking Kitkat there on a date that very same day. The event ended with Nettie declaring the couple brakked and that she didn't want Kitkat contacting her ever again. |
Jerry Callow[]
"I did not have sexual relations with Chips' air conditioner, Nettie! I promise!" - Jerry
| The Closeted Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Several weeks after Jerry stole KitKat from her, Nettie became embroiled in a plot by Bovice to torment the hospital and EMS staff working at Pillbox. Jessie Skid informed Nettie that she was being targeted by an unknown female agent of Bovice and was perceived as an easy target due to her womanizing ways. This lead Nettie to the conclusion that her safest bet would be to marry a man as an excuse to keep women away. Knowing Jerry to have a reputation as a 'beta' who typically collapses to peer pressure, Nettie decided to focus her efforts on him. After asking Jerry if he'd be interested in marrying her, Nettie began spending the following week going around the city telling everyone that he was her fiance despite the pair neither dating or being formally engaged. Several days after initiating this plan, the Bovice threat to EMS subsided but Nettie continued pushing forward as she resolved to use the potential marriage with Jerry as a vehicle to get revenge on him for destroying her relationship with KitKat. |
Jordan Steele[]
"Our love can melt steel beams!" - Jordan
| The Engaged Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Sometimes referred to as the "Parking God", Nettie was no stranger to Jordan due to his time working as the parking enforcer for Pillbox. Like many other EMS, Nettie genuinely respected Jordan for his tenacity in keeping the emergency lane clear of parked cars so that ambulances could navigate the front of the hospital. Shortly after deciding to marry Jerry, Nettie inadvertently discovered that he was potentially cheating on her with Kayden Steele, one of Jordan's two wives. As did most of the city, she would quickly learn. Nettie was later approached by Brenda on behalf of Jean Steele, where she asked Nettie to seduce Jordan as part of their plan to entrap him because Jean wanted a divorce. Jean and Kayden eventually resolved to both divorce Jordan on their own terms but, much to Brenda's dismay, Nettie continued with her plan to seduce Jordan as a way to emotionally wound Jerry. Nettie discovered that the job was easier than she had anticipated as Jordan was already seeking her out to get even with Kayden for cheating on him with Jerry. Without coordinating their revenge, Jordan and Nettie went out on a beach date while both under the guise of genuinely being interested in dating each other. This plan eventually spiraled out of control as the pair discovered they had a deeper interest in each other than they had anticipated. Chaos ensued because Nettie had Bailey aiding her on the radio as a wingwoman but didn't realize that Tony Andrews, Brenda, and Kayden were all spying on the date via the same radio channel. After the date ended Nettie and Jordan were confronted in front of Pillbox, with Kayden telling Jordan that she was divorcing him and Tony telling Nettie to stay away from Jordan. The following day Jordan received 15 strike points after running into Lauren Forcer with his police cruiser after his tires had been popped with taser prongs. After signing off duty and getting drunk at his lot, Jordan drunk-dialed Nettie in front of Jean and asked her on an impromptu date. Little did Nettie know that while Jordan was on the phone with her, he had accidentally run Jean over with his car, incapacitating her. The incident was made even more awkward as Nettie was one of the attending medics on the scene due to her proximity to the incident. While Bailey was loading Jean into the ambulance Jordan called Nettie and attempted to get her to meet with him. She agreed and told him to meet her at her house in the Vespucci canals. Once together, Jordan went on a drunken tirade about Lauren and how she wanted to get him fired. After eventually calming him down, Nettie convinced Jordan to meet with Lauren at MRPD and confront her directly about his grievances. In a drunken stupor, Jordan ranted to Lauren about being in love with Nettie and that together they were going to move to Arizona and sell turquoise. Later that night, Jordan was eventually grabbed by Bo Tucker in front of Pillbox after getting into an altercation with Kelly Smith and was then put in a drunk tank for his own safety. Shortly before blacking out, Jordan lied to Bo about having already slept with Nettie. In the days following Jordan's drunken episode, Nettie and Jordan began going around town telling people that they were in love and getting married while they were on duty. This eventually led to Jean confronting Nettie about the rumors and Nettie seized the opportunity to double down on sabotaging Jean's marriage with Jordan. Jordan eventually invited Nettie on a third date and picked her up in his mother's car. Together they rode around the South Side looking for a game of craps, helping people in the community, and spectating several drive-bys. Eventually, Jordan pulled into an alleyway and chased Davey Doherty away during a staged mugging that he had set up to impress Nettie. Jordan's plan worked and together they decided to go to Bahama Mammas after Nettie mentioned that Mother, Siz, and Ellie had invited her to a fundraiser earlier that day. Once at Bahama Mamas, Jordan began aggressively declaring his love for Nettie to everyone in the immediate vicinity. Eventually, the couple found themselves outside after Nettie had an altercation with Mya and Nettie took the misunderstanding as an opportunity to propose to Jordan. Roughly a month later, Jordan was formally put on trial for running over Jean and Nettie found herself being subpoenaed as a medical witness. Because the trial was a domestic violence case the District Attorney's office insisted on involving Jordan and Nettie's relationship. Judge Stanton sustained Kevin McLoughlin's objection to the DA's question regarding their relationship. Despite this, Nettie still found herself lying on the stand for Jordan, as she denied speaking with him on the phone and being with him later that night. Once Jordan caught wind that he might be losing the trial, he pulled Nettie aside, and begged her to flee the state with him. Together Nettie and Jordan spun an elaborate plan where Jordan would fake a stroke and Bailey would drop them off across the Arizona border before returning to the city. Bailey eventually talked Nettie and Jordan down, with Jordan reluctantly returning to the courtroom to hear his verdict. Upon being declared guilty, Jordan attempted to flee the courtroom with Nettie, but they were headed off by the bailiff and Thomas Metzger. Although Jordan's prison time would later be negotiated down to just therapy sessions and driving lessons, Nettie gave Bailey the impression that she was heading to Arizona regardless. On January 21st, Jordan and Jean went to court over their divorce. Jean wanted half of Jordan's income and half of the Steele Family Parking & Impound Lot. Nettie was among the many witnesses called to the stand in addition to Tony, Chips, Kayden, Jean, Jordan, Judge Stanton, Justice LaBarre, Dr. Choi, Tuong, Akmir, and Kyle Pred. Unlike the hit and run trial, Judge Holden overruled McLoughlin's objections regarding questions about Nettie and Jordan's relationship. This prompted both Nettie and Jordan to lie on the stand about their engagement, which left everyone in the gallery bewildered as it was one of worst kept "secrets" in the entire city. Jordan would later be arrested at the end of the trial with no verdict declared because Akmir, one of his old war buddies, assaulted Jean with a flashlight and subsequently died after being gunned down by bailiffs. Distraught, Nettie attempted to convince officers to arrest her as well but she was ignored as Jordan was dragged from the courthouse and taken to MRPD. Jordan was later released but the investigation over the assault is still ongoing. Several days later, Judge Holden approved the divorce and awarded Jean $5,000 a week from Jordan's paycheck as alimony. A few days after divorce trial, the DA's office began investigating Nettie for perjury. Their plan was to leverage a conviction on Nettie to pin Jordan with a perjury as well. Shortly after the investigation began Odessa reached out to Mari Jones, the then current High Command of EMS, and informed her that Nettie was potentially being prosecuted. Mari passed the information along to Nettie later that day, but her ability to aid her was impaired as she resigned the following day after being ICU'd from an attempted murder. Nettie contacted Jordan's lawyer and together they agreed that the best course of action was for Nettie and Jordan to stop lying about their relationship and instead say their romance blossomed because their time together during the court cases as the lion-share of the evidence appeared to be hearsay. Following the resignation of Mari, Nettie and Jordan decided that the best course of action was to keep conversations regarding their relationship to themselves in hopes that the DA's office would forget to formally file the charges as there were several high profile murder cases holding case filings up. Nettie and Jordan would eventually go on another date to blow off some steam and catch each other up on developments regarding the perjury investigation and the happenings in their lives. Jordan eventually turned the conversation towards someday wanting kids and Nettie tried changing the subject by bringing up Chips. Jordan then said Chips was "a fuck up" and suggested that maybe he would have more motivation to better himself if he had a competent sibling. Nettie eventually relented to the idea of having kids but then requested that Jordan take her somewhere private to discuss something important. After parking at Legion Square, Nettie sprung her knowledge that Kayden and Jordan were potentially Bovice's parents. Jordan, vehemently denied it but attempted to call Chips, Kayden, and "Steven". Despite several attempts, no one appeared to be available. The couple then decided to conclude their date with a visit a wrestling school that Jordan had been invited to earlier that night. Eventually they became bored and Jordan realized that he was late to work, so he asked Nettie to fake going into labor so they would have an excuse to leave as soon as possible and she obliged.
Due to his erratic behavior after divorcing Jean, Jordan became the subject of an Internal Affairs investigation that was focused on his unruly disposition and potentially illegal activities while on the job. This coalesced several days later when, after coming out of ICU for a compound fracture in his leg, Jordan momentarily dozed off during a standoff and shot a surrendering suspect with his handgun. Jordan was instructed to return to MRPD where he was let go after being deemed unfit for duty due to his bum leg making him unable to run, drive, or function without heavy pain killers.
Jordan resolved to take his pent up frustrations out on the LSPD and began moving forward with several plans to undermine the department. This included using his ownership of Garage Q to get a foot in the door with the tow truck drivers to form a union, starting up a private security company with Kyle, and convening with multiple criminal organizations including the Grove Street Families to hash out his plans to perform street justice so he can prove that the LSPD is an inefficient institution. Nettie would be out of the city for most of these events. During this time Jordan would reconnect with his estranged wife, Kayden, and together they would begin running the lot and organizing his newly formed tow union with the assistance of the Angels. Jordan and Kayden would also begin feuding with Saab as he was poaching their tow truck drivers for his own company, Bad Boy Customs. Nettie would eventually return from her out of city trip on February 15th.
On the same day that Nettie returned, Jordan and Kayden's feud with Saab would reach a fever-pitch when Kayden jokingly lied to Saab while trying to get one of his tow truck drivers fired. Her lie ended up being coincidentally accurate, which immediately aroused suspicions among several major players in the city that Jordan and Kayden may have found out about their drug smuggling operation and snitched about it to the police. This eventually lead to Jordan and Kayden getting into an altercation on a Grand Senora Highway where she pulled a gun on him and shot into his car. Later that evening Jordan would evade a warrant and attempt to go into hiding, but before he could Kayden called him and insisted that he meet her at Del Pierro Pier. Once there she declared that she was divorcing him and during the ensuing argument he beat her and threw her off the pier and into the ocean. Kayden was eventually found and rushed to the hospital but due to severe trauma to her head she would succumb to her injuries, much to Nettie's despair as she had just clocked in moments prior. Nettie then attended to Kayden's body with Dr. Cross and oversaw the visitors who came to the hospital to grieve. When the time finally came, Cross instructed Nettie to put Kayden's body away on a slab in the morgue and she was one of the last people to say their goodbyes. During this time numerous police officers warned Nettie and Cross that Jordan was the prime suspect in the investigation of the murder. The following day, both Nettie and Kyle aggressively confronted Jordan about what had happened with Kayden. With both parties attempting to talk some sense into him and warn him that, regardless of whether or not he was guilty, he was the prime suspect in the investigation. Jordan would eventually be kidnapped by Eugene Zuckerberg and forcibly drugged in an attempt to force a video confession of the murder. Jordan then began spiraling into the delusion that Saab murdered Kayden instead and started hallucinating that he was seeing Saab at every turn. Eugene began to believe Jordan's story about Saab and attempted to set things right with Jordan by taking him to the Vanilla Unicorn so he could cool his heels. In a panicked state Jordan began pushing the strippers away before pulling out an AP pistol and shooting wildly into the ceiling. He then made his way back outside in a stupor and drove to the privacy of an abandoned parking lot where he could call Nettie for help. Upon seeing Jordan in such a state she attempted to help him by calling his lawyer, Kevin, and taking his alcohol away. Jordan refused and their ensuing argument eventually escalated into him pulling the AP pistol on her after she struck him for calling her a "bitch". Kevin and Nettie managed to talk Jordan down and then he walked up and struck her, in retaliation she knocked him over with her ambulance as she was leaving the scene and in an intoxicated fury he sprayed a full clip at the rear of her ambulance. After driving several blocks away Nettie radio'd to police and filed a report about what had transpired and a BOLO was put out on Jordan. Eventually his white Bronco was spotted and he'd become swept up in a low-speed pursuit. After PD disabled his vehicle, Jordan managed to juke the on-foot officers and kidnap the Chief of Police, Bobby Smith. Jordan attempted to flee the city via the airport while having a mental breakdown, but he was gunned down by officers. Nettie arrived on scene as a first responder and had to perform CPR on Jordan to save his life. Once at the hospital she had to transfer him to the ICU and file a report on his condition. Due to being short staffed, Nettie ended up spending several more hours clocked in despite her mental state rapidly deteriorating from grief. She would eventually find herself sitting in the street in front of Pillbox while having a mental break down at the sight of tow trucks, attempting to legalize all drugs in the city to stop the police from persecuting Jordan, ordering wedding invitations with tow trucks on them, and deluded herself into believing that Jordan murdered Kayden so that she could be with him.
The morning Jordan came out of ICU he was discharged from the hospital and taken straight to MRPD for processing. Despite initially wanting a bench trial, AJ Hunter informed him that Malton wasn't available. During this exchange, Nettie traveled to MRPD because she was grief-stricken for reporting him and indirectly almost getting him killed. She ended up calling Kyle for help because officers refused to allow her into the holding cells, Kyle suggested finding an officer who he could bully into letting them in, and during her phone call she spotted Malton rummaging through the trunk of his cruiser. Before Nettie had a chance to approach Malton, Jordan's new lawyer, Ginzu Okada, exited MRPD and informed her that Jordan had been sent to Bolingbroke without a bench trial and that he was about to head up to the prison to discuss their options as Malton was clearly available for a trial. Jordan would later meet Okada and resolve to sue the LSPD for denying him his rights to a bench trial. On February 21st, after receiving death threats from Lang Buddha and discovering that GSF had James McAfee executed, Boba reached out to Jordan so that they could have a discrete meeting. Boba then clocked off duty and told several of his co-workers, including Nettie, that he was about to go towing with Jordan. Once together, they met in the same parking lot where Jordan shot at Nettie's ambulance and Boba confessed to snitching to the police. This was originally part of Boba's plan to become a CI in hopes of being hired by the LSPD, but before he could finish telling his side of events Jordan stabbed him in the neck in a fit of rage. Boba would go on to drown in his own blood. Bree Matthews, Boba's ex-wife, arrived on scene and was one of the first responders who rushed Boba to the hospital. During this time the Ballas and GSF were having a melee war in the south side, which kept Nettie preoccupied with treating gang bangers for minor injuries. When Nettie eventually arrive at the hospital she was greeted by a busy and chaotic scene as someone was entering critical surgery. Despite being a close friend and co-worker, everyone refused to tell Nettie that it was Boba who was dying and she eventually found out over comms while treating a patient on a call. This sent Nettie into a rage and she clocked out, being disillusioned with the fact that everyone seemed to know that Boba had died except her. After clocking out she ran into Chips outside of Pillbox and he gave her a ride on his bicycle to her car. Together they set out to say their goodbyes of Boba at the morgue. All wasn't well, however, as when they arrived at the morgue Jordan was having another emotional breakdown and was in a standoff with the LSPD as he'd tried taking Boba's body because he was in denial over his death. Jordan was eventually subdued and Nettie and Chips entered the hospital to pay their respects.
The following day Nettie resolved to break things off with Jordan due to his mental instability making him too erratic for her to manage. Despite admitting to snitching on him and fearing the worst Jordan said he still loved her and did his best to convince her not to leave him. Nettie said she still loved him "in a way" and didn't want to be on bad terms with him. Over the following week things continued to sour between them and the pair would frequently get into arguments when she had to answer calls at Garage Q. Things eventually came to a head when Nettie put in for a leave of absence with EMS to reassess her life. |
| The Resignation Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
After months of struggling with discontent in her career and suppressing mounting frustrations with the management of first responders in the city, Nettie resigned from EMS. She spent close to 10 months working as a medic and led a relatively accomplished career despite never aspiring to attain a command role in the department. Even after resigning Nettie continued to maintain friendships with several of her former coworkers, particularly Bailey Jade and Mari Jones. Even though she's no longer employed by EMS Nettie also frequently advocates for the rights of medical staff and occasionally provides feedback to FTOs when she sees trainees as a civilian. On March 3rd, Nettie was summoned to a court trial for Jordan as a witness to his drug fueled rampage where he shot at her ambulance, got into a low speed pursuit with police, and took Bobby Smith hostage. Already being fed up with being dragged to Jordan's court trials, Nettie arrived to the courthouse irate and wasn't amused that she was being forced to come to a trial while in the middle of her leave of absence from EMS. Her frustrations came to a head when, while being questioned by Ginzu Okada, she was grilled on an SOP technicality regarding the way she contacted police after Jordan had shot at her and she began screaming an angry rebuttal at the lawyer. Judge Coyote then threatened her with contempt of court and, in an indignant rage, she insisted he give her it stormed out the courtroom. Mistaking Nettie's apathy towards court decorum as her intentionally throwing the trial for him, Jordan attempted to reach out to Nettie during a brief recess but she gave him a cold shoulder. She would later calm down and make amends with him after discussing the repercussions of her contempt charge with her lawyer, Adrienne West. During Coyote's deliberations Jordan, Kevin, Okada, and West convened with Nettie and suggested that she just wait out the charges as they'd likely be put on a warrant and if the warrant wasn't pressed then the charges wouldn't be on her record. Later that evening Jordan picked up Nettie at Garage Q, and told her about his plan to take her to a small island that he visits when he needs to lay low. Their planning was cut short as, while they were trying to get Nettie's affairs in order, Jordan got into an altercation with Officer Jack Ripley and they were both arrested because they had outstanding warrants. During their time together in prison they reconciled their differences and agreed to continue their engagement. After being released from prison Nettie found herself faced with a three day suspension from EMS due to her disorderly conduct in a courtroom as a government employee. During this time she started working at the lot for Jordan and began reevaluating her priorities in life. She spent several days discussing her options with friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. On the second day of her suspension, Nettie became entangled in Steele Security's feud with the Angels when Wilhelmina Copperpot was abducted and subsequently tortured. Nettie, Jordan, Justin, and Chips all mounted a rescue effort together and managed to get Copperpot to Pillbox. The ordeal ended up causing Nettie and Copperpot to become fast friends. On the final day of Nettie's suspension, Jordan informed her that Bailey's stalker, Jack Deadwood recently abducted her and attempted to murder Mari. He then attempted to persuade Nettie to helping him murder Jack as a way of protecting Bailey. Jordan then informed Nettie that the GSF had just accepted a contract hit on Jack and they could cash in on it. Nettie ultimately turned down Jordan's offer to be directly involved, but told him that she wouldn't lose any sleep if he did it. They then ended their evening by discussing plans to ramp up the pace of their wedding planning and organizing a funeral for Kayden. During her time off, Nettie came to the conclusion that there was more to life than what she had been experiencing as a medic and despite loving her job she couldn't fake being happy with her career anymore. On Tuesday, March 17th, Nettie formally resigned from EMS after spending a final shift working together with her best friend, Bailey Jade. |
| The Marriage Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
On April 4th, after being engaged for close to four months, Nettie and Jordan were married at the Vinewood Cemetery on the same day that Apples staged a funeral to fake his own death.
Despite having named Bailey as her Maid of Honor since November and being engaged to Jordan since December, Nettie didn't formally start planning her wedding to Jordan until February 16th when she requested that wedding invitations be drafted. Over the following weeks, very little movement was made regarding the planning of the wedding as Nettie briefly broke off their engagement after he shot at her during a drug induced breakdown after the death of Kayden. The couple eventually reconciled their differences and decided to continue their engagement. Shortly afterwards Nettie left her career in EMS and began working full time for Steele Security, it was during this period that Jordan and Nettie began ramping up discussions regarding the marriage. Chips was originally planned to be the flower girl, but after falling into a coma in the ICU they settled on Bryce Miller instead. Copperpot was Jordan's best man, and Dennis LaBarre was chosen as the officiator of the ceremony. Despite initially wanting an extravagant wedding, Jordan convinced Nettie to settle for a more private affair and the couple picked an impromptu date, sending out the invitations barely 24 hours before the ceremony to keep the event private as Jordan had accumulated a large number of enemies in the city. Nettie agreed to rehash Jordan's original plans to have the wedding at Kayden's funeral and the couple decided to use a fake funeral for "Apples" to conceal the location of the event. |
| The Garage Wars Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Shortly after getting married, Nettie and Jordan turned their attention to focusing on the expansion of the businesses. They would later became embroiled in a petty feud against Dr. Choi for the ownership of Garage T. Despite this feud seeming to be tongue-and-check on the surface, it's since spawned several attempted murders and generated multiple propaganda videos centered around false-flagging Choi and accusing her of being a terrorist.
Due to reduced traffic during the night shift, Jordan took it upon himself to find ways to drive customers back to his business. It was during this time that he set his sights on Garage T and decided that he needed to make it clear to it's customers that it wasn't safe to park there. With Apples and Copperpot's help, Jordan began moving forward with plans to create a false-flag terrorist group known as the Garage T-Boys, with the T obviously being short for "terrorist". It was during this time that they worked out a method where they would kidnap people from T and kill them on video under the pretense that the T-boys were committing the act. Nettie remained mostly oblivious to Garage Q's involvement in these events but latched onto the narrative it created and frequently cited the T-boys in her sales pitch for Steele Security.
Several weeks after beginning this "crusade", Jordan became fed up with trying to scare customers from T to Q and decided it'd be more efficient to buy T outright. Apples quickly ran into a roadblock when he learned from one of the judges that Dr. Choi had already purchased Garage T in Fall of 2019 to prevent Jordan from monopolizing parking in the city. This revelation angered most of the Steele Security management staff and they doubled down on the use of fake propaganda videos, only this time they began espousing Choi as being their leader in an attempt to brand her as a terrorist. Throughout many of these videos they demanded that the Chief of Police, Bobby Smith, stab out his other eye as he was already missing one; and, keeping with the theme of the demands, they would stab the victims taken from T in the eye with a knife.
Early on in this feud Choi allied herself with Thomas Dwayne, Nettie's hypnotherapist, and sought his help in making Steele Security quit harassing civilians at Garage T. Things quickly escalated when Thomas had his people abduct Apples and Copperpot. Thomas instructed his men to separate Copperpot from Apples as he was fed up with her attempting to intervene in his plans for Nettie and had Copperpot shot in the head at a construction site north of Vinewood. Apples was then brought to the airport where he was given a lecture by Thomas, disguised as a man named Hank, for torturing and kidnapping people at Garage T. They then stabbed Apples 9 times after claiming to be the "Real T-boys" and left him to be rescued by EMS as they wanted him to remember the message. The incident left Copperpot in a coma and she was put in the ICU.
The following day Apples began scouring for information about this new group and involved several of his closest contacts in the search. He eventually uncovered the leader of the T-boys' phone number and began cross referencing it with people to see if he could find their real name. Later in the evening, Copperpot briefly came out of the ICU and informed Nettie that she needed to talk to Apples and warn Jordan about what had happened. Nettie would eventually meet up with Apples and he gave her a rundown of events, admitting that the T-boys were a Steele Security invention but that there was also a new group associated with Choi claiming to be the "Real T-boys". Apples eventually gave Nettie the number of their leader, as part of his attempt to cross reference, and she discovered it was Thomas. A revelation that shocked her and made her uncertain of what to do regarding the betrayal, so she kept the information to herself. The next day, after running a security gig at Bahama Mamas, Jordan debriefed Nettie on his plans going forward and had her come with him while he laid the groundwork to acquire funds for guns and molotovs to deal with the new group working with Choi. Later in the evening Nettie aided Jordan, Copperpot, and Ash in abducting Claire Seducer from Garage T for another T-boys video.
In the weeks following, the conflict between Garage Q and Garage T spiraled into a series of several proxy conflicts between various allied companies and associated factions. These included Pillbox Medical Center, Bad Boy Customs, Rooster Cab Co., Leanbois, East Side Ballas, Steele Security, and The Illuminati. This corporate cold war would go on to feature an expansive array of crimes ranging from smear campaigns, arson, vandalism, assassination attempts, kidnappings, assaults, bribery, extortion, terrorism, and corporate espionage. Apples, Copperpot, and Louis did a significant amount of the legwork early on while Jordan was briefly out of commission and Nettie ran the relatively quiet night shift at Q. It was during this period that Apples found himself continually targeted by various groups and he was eventually picked up by the Leanbois, losing his legs to a molotov attack after he'd been singled out for having made a concerted effort to sand multiple BBC tow truck and delivery drivers. Louis would also find himself crippled by Al Saab when he attempted to infiltrate BBC to gather intel on their partnership with Choi and Garage T.
On June 5th, Nettie aided Jordan and Copperpot in organizing a sit-in at Garage T where they briefly took over operations at the parking lot. While they were there they recorded an anti-Choi propaganda video and deliberately vandalized the parking booth and several vehicles. Shortly after Jordan left, Agnes Ranbough arrived and had an incident where her assistant was run over with a car and assumed dead. Nettie reluctantly agreed to help dispose of the body and, almost immediately after leaving, they were pulled over with the body still stuffed in the boot of her Glendale. They were then gathered up and put in a police line-up where Leah Strong named Nettie and several others as being at the scene of the vandalism at Q. Nettie was eventually cut loose but the incident made her paranoid that the police were spying on them. The following day Nettie and Jordan had an aggressive argument at Garage Q after she refused to help him kidnap an off duty EMT on the lot due to her paranoia that they were being investigated by the LSPD. After being berated by Jordan, and feeling isolated by Copperpot for not having her back, she left the city and went on a hiatus from work.
On June 22nd, Thomas decided to make another move against members of Garage Q in relation to the Illuminati's investigation into the Smileys; a gang of serial killers with a loose affiliation to various Steele Security employees, mainly due to the company's tendency to hire former 5150 patients and violent felons. Thomas intended to capture Petunia Brookshire and Louis Baton after Gemma Knight leaked information regarding the Smileys to him. As part of his plan, Flop Dugong and Alexa Caldwell aided in baiting Louis and Petunia to the You Tool just off of Senora Freeway. Together Thomas and Carl disguised themselves as Cody Speedwagon, the Highwayman, and attempted to kidnap them. Their plan caught a hitch when Petunia leaped out of the trunk of Louis' car and pulled a gun on them, Petunia was shot down, but her incapacitation caused Thomas to decide that Louis and Nicky Santana were enough for his intended interrogation. Shortly after taking them hostage, Petunia was rescued by EMS and she quickly rushed to tell Copperpot and Apples that Louis had been caught, along with Nicky. Copperpot and Apples then began orchestrating a search effort where they broke up into groups of two to scout out popular kill spots in the city. It was during this search that Apples and August came across Flop at Harmony. Flop quickly fled the scene but was baited into agreeing to a meeting after Apples called him and said they just wanted to talk. While waiting for Flop to respond, Copperpot and Freesh spotted Alexa arriving at Harmony and radioed for August and Apples to grab her. Once they had Alexa subdued the group quickly met up with Flop at the Rebel Radio Building and took him hostage as well. They then took Flop and Alexa to a church and began interrogating them while Freesh kept guard from the rooftop. During the interrogations, Copperpot received a phonecall from Petunia who was in a meeting with Ellie Dono due to her RCC ties. Copperpot informed Petunia that she could bring Ellie as Copperpot was willing to fill her in on what was going on. The subsequent information dump caused Ellie to reel in shock as she was worried about the operations of RCC as a legitimate business and feared that her involvement in the potential execution of an RCC and BBC employee could jeopardize it. Copperpot then reassured Ellie that this was Garage Q business and that she would be taking care of it, all she asked of Ellie was to turn a blind eye to the executions as it'd be mutually beneficial for Steele Security, RCC, and BBC to end the source of the cross-company infighting. Shortly after Ellie agreed to let Steele Security handle it and left, Carl and Thomas unwittingly arrived at the church. They had just intended on resting to collect their thoughts when they stumbled across Steele Security prepping to begin torturing and executing Flop. A brief gunfight ensued, ending with Carl, Thomas, and Freesh getting downed. Copperpot and Apples then quickly began coordinating loading the bodies up into the cars as the nearby highway was a hot-spot for illegal street racing and they feared the gunshots may have attracted the attention of the cops. Their instincts ended up proving right as shortly after loading everyone into cars, police arrived on scene and Steele Security ended up fleeing in two separate vehicles. August and Freesh ended up getting caught with Carl and Flop as their hostages, but Copperpot and Apples got away with Thomas and Alex still in their custody. Copperpot then began driving north of the city with the intention of executing Thomas in a more secluded region, but she became alarmed when Thomas tried issuing Apples an order after saying "Prune". Fortunately Apples was listening to music on his headphones and couldn't hear Thomas. They eventually made their way to a secluded cove where Copperpot began scouring Thomas' phone, screenshotting text conversations for her to go over at a later date. Apples eventually became bored and took off his headphones, asking Copperpot what was taking so long. Before Apples could finish asking, Thomas issued an order to draw his gun on her, but before he could do anything Copperpot gunned him down as she was already weary of Thomas attempting to use the "Prune" trigger-word on him. After dispatching Apples, Copperpot then turned her attention to Alexa and Thomas, stabbing them as revenge for all the past transgressions they've levied against her, Nettie, and Apples. After she finished she hoisted Apples a carried him back to her car, telling him that she intended on saving both him and Nettie from the hypnosis. Thomas' injuries left him severely wounded and he had to go into the ICU, but before he did, he informed Choi that he blamed Flop for what had happened. Meanwhile, back in the city, Flop was abducted by Ellie, Saab, and Buddha after she gave them the rundown of what Copperpot told her. They then began interrogating him and grilling him on lying after checking his phone. They eventually resolved to cut Flop's ties to BBC and execute him for his association with Thomas and Choi after the grief they'd caused RCC employees. After much deliberation, Saab stabbed Flop in the gut and then placed him next to a combustible canister before shooting it and causing it to explode over his body. |

In late October Nettie returned briefly after a several month long hiatus out of city and caught up with Jordan and several other friends, including Harlod Todd, Petunia Brookshire and Charlotte Moore. Nettie claimed to have been spending her vacation gambling in Nevada and racked up over $350,000 in debt with one of the Vegas mobs. She then spent several weeks grifting people by claiming that she was homeless and begging for money to buy food when in reality she still had over $150,000 in the bank.
On October 21st, Nettie returned to the city and was reunited Jordan at Garage Q. Jordan gave her the rundown on some of what had transpired since she'd left and she lied, telling him she was deep in debt with a mob after becoming addicted to the penny and half-dollar slots. Shortly after trying to get ahold of Bailey, Jordan told Nettie that she'd been promoted to Chief of EMS. Nettie then spent the rest of the day towing with Jordan and nearly executed a man they abducted off the lot after he refused to pay the parking fee. During this period Nettie met several new hires by Apples at the lot, namely Bred Baker and Sai Carter.
On December 4th, Nettie reunited with Copperpot and aided in threatening Judge Stanton after he implied that he was going to retract the government funding for the business due to a disorganized management structure and illegal activity on the property. After losing the funding, Copperpot pulled Nettie aside and asked for her help in kidnapping Bred as he'd "grown too big for his britches". Copperpot and Nettie then took Bred to Q court at the hippy encampment in Sandy Shores. After chastising Bred, Copperpot began carving the word "HARK" into his back to Nettie's disgust and slashed his throat. Due to their actions, Stanton made a state announcement that he was suspending operations by Steele Family Parking & Impound Lot at Garage Q pending a judicial review of their business.
On December 12th, Justice Katya presided over Judge Stanton's review of Jordan's business operations. During the review, it was revealed that Apples' had unwittingly hired a dispatcher by the name of Claire Everly and that she had been gathering evidence of illegal activities taking place at Garage Q for several weeks. Jordan was apoplectic at the revelation and decided to throw Apples' under the bus as he'd been spending the past month out of state on vacation in Portland. Nettie arrived shortly after the review started and was present to give some of her testimony regarding wage distribution. Feed up with the scrutiny of having to deal with the government threatening to take the business away again, she left the review before a final verdict was declared.
On December 18th, Nettie began aggressively grifting people in the city by claiming that she was homeless and asking for charity. She even implied to her newly hired 6th therapist, Ava Renaud, that she deliberately burned her home down after an argument with Jordan while washing dishes. Nettie then called Tobi Argent and hired him to draft a will for her as she wanted to ensure that her Chia pet was left to Bree Matthews in the event of her death. Nettie was annoyed to discover the price, and volume of paperwork, that drafting a will required but she was able to persuade Tobi to do it for free. Though he told her that he would be putting a stipulation in her will that it will be void if she dies because she's, "Not allowed to die." |
Friendships[]
Chips Ahoy[]
"Heya, Nettie! How've ya been?!" - Chips
| The Stepson Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Chips is a local crackhead and the adoptive son of Jordan, Jean, and Kayden. Chips is a relatively close friend of Nettie and interacts with her semi-regularly due to his tendency to loiter around the hospital. Because of Chips' addiction, he can frequently be heard running about the city and happily exclaiming, "CRACK!" while high. For several weeks after initially meeting him, Nettie misinterpreted this tick as Chips' expressing his love for saltine crackers so she kept a box of them in her ambulance glove box in the off-chance she'd run into him while on duty. This was a gesture which would regularly disappoint Chips, despite him appreciating her thoughtfulness.
Chips would eventually be arrested by his father after being snitched on by Jean for hording a mountain of cocaine in his van. This incident put a strain on Jean and Nettie's friendship, as Nettie perceived the act as being rather cruel due to her son's gentle nature. Chips would eventually be released from prison but, after a series of tragic events, he'd find himself shot in the spine and paralyzed. He'd eventually recover, but during the surgery to replace one of his kidney's he'd become infected with HIV. Nettie initially offered her aid in helping Melbert Rickenbacker and the Homeowners Association in performing a blood transfusion at Legion Square, but the procedure was shut down by Khloe Brooks.
Chips' condition would only worsen after this event as he was slowly dying from the disease, but he'd eventually find himself in the hands of Dr. Agnes Ranbough, a mortician associated with Pillbox. Agnes pitched an experimental treatment where she'd transplant Chips' brain into the body of a cadaver and he'd live in it while she vacuumed the HIV out of Chips' body. Unbeknownst to Agnes or Chips the cadaver his brain was transplanted into belonged to Nettie's recently deceased grandmother, who donated her body to the hospital, a revelation that both shocked and confused Nettie once she saw Chips walking around the front of Pillbox shortly after the surgery. Chips then found himself in the unenviable position of having Nettie seeking him out for closure regarding the death of her grandmother. Despite the strange turn of events, the two would eventually bond over Chips' then-current lot in life. Nettie's engagement to Jordan further compounded the awkwardness as Nettie and Chips tried to parse out what it meant for their relationship. The status of which even left Jordan bewildered. Nettie would eventually be present to bid farewell to her "grandmother" when Agnes collected Chips for the procedure to return his brain to his original body. Despite being back in his original body, Chips would retain some of his fondness for Nettie from his time being her grandmother-stepson. Nettie would later take to calling him her son during the brief exchanges they've had since the procedure. During one of the recesses for Jean and Jordan's divorce trial, Nettie pulled Chips aside and promised to never turn him in for having drugs like Jean once did.
Chips eventually found himself reaching out to therapists to help him get his life in order. This lead to him consulting with Pixie Plum and Thalia Hayes about his family and day-to-day life. When the topic turned to his caregivers, Chips recounted how Jordan was never around to provide for him and how Kayden would frequently tell him to go scrounging in trash to find food. After being prodded further by Pixie she suggested that Chips reach out to Nettie because she likely had the steadiest income in the family besides his father. Nettie was receptive to Chips when he requested that she provide for him and she agreed to take care of him by packing his lunches and giving him drinks to tide him over throughout the week.
A few weeks later Chips would reach out to Nettie as he hadn't seen her since Jordan was fired and he was having trouble coping with the death of Kayden. Once together Chips and Nettie spent time reminiscing about Kayden before Chips mentioned that his house was a mess because he hadn't been cleaning it while mourning. Nettie offered a lending hand to help him clean the "baby powder" that had become caked all over the walls and furniture of Chips home, but before they made it Chips' van broke down and they were scammed by a tow truck driver while flipping it over. Once they reached Chips' home on Fudge Lane, he gave Nettie a tour of his house. Despite his initial concern, Nettie told him not to worry about her opinion as he wasn't expecting company. Nettie soon realized that there were no cleaning supplies in the house, so Chips offered to let her pick him up and use his afro to dust the walls. Despite catching something of a second-wind after having the "dust" kicked up in her face, Nettie eventually collapsed and was unable to continue hoisting Chips over her shoulder so she began searching the yellow pages for a cleaning service. At first she attempted to call the Angels Cleaning Service, but when they were unavailable Chips suggested reaching out to the Homeowners Association instead. After spending roughly 20 minutes cleaning and repairing parts of Chips' home, they parted ways, but not before Nettie informed them that they were far more reliable than the Angels. Afterwards, Nettie and Chips set out to get his van repaired as it was stalling every 30 seconds. Despite their best efforts they kept getting ripped off by mechanics, both at Harmony and Benny's. This eventually came to a head when Chips' van broke down on the side of the highway less than 3 minutes after Nettie paid to have it repaired. This caused her to lose her temper and make an angry phone call complaining about the poor service.
The following week Boba Stone passed away after being stabbed in the neck and Nettie signed of duty, livid that none of her coworkers would tell her what had happened. She ran into Chips at the front of the hospital and he offered to give her a ride to Garage Q so she could pick up her car and say her goodbyes at the morgue. Together they arrived the morgue to a scene of Jordan in a standoff with police; the confrontation leaving Nettie, Chips, and Kyle unsure of what to do. Eventually Jordan was subdued by the responding officers while Nettie and Chips made their way into the morgue to say their goodbyes. The fallout of this incident left Nettie uncertain of her future with Jordan, and after a few days of deliberation she decided to end her relationship with him as he'd become too unstable. Despite no longer being engaged to Jordan, Nettie told Chips that she would still take care of him like a mother and said she'd help him with food, money, and enrolled him on her insurance as a dependent.
Roughly a week later, Nettie and Jordan reconnected when she received a contempt of court charge at one of his trials and they both spent several months together in prison. After being released from prison she was put on suspension from work an began wallowing in self pity. During this time she explained what had happened and how she was back together with Jordan. Then she help Chips dumpster dive for crack outside of the Vanilla Unicorn and they spent the rest of the day catching up. Eventually her suspension ended and, after spending a significant amount of time weighing her options, she decided to resign from EMS as she no longer found the career fulfilling. No longer making the "fat stacks" after her resignation, Nettie began working at the lot with Copperpot and Jordan. This put her in an awkward position as she no longer had her insurance as a cover story to keep Chips from worrying about his health, so Nettie lied to him and said that she had Bailey fudge some numbers to enroll Chips on her insurance as a dependent. Later on Chips told her that he was out of lunches and that his crack mountain was melting so he was selling his old crack and buying fresher crack for himself, Nettie then suggested lacing the expiring crack with fentanyl as people likely wouldn't know the difference. Afterwards Nettie set out to make a shopping list for Chips to keep him feed throughout the week. Though, she didn't have a chance to give him his Fruit-by-the-Foot as everyone at Garage Q was kidnapped and forced to duel in a fighting pit by Alabaster Slim later in the evening. Nettie would later discover during Chips' battle with a coked up chimpanzee that he had previously set up an event at the Vanilla Unicorn without Mother or Slim's blessings and was being forced to fight in the pit as punishment. After she was allowed to leave, Nettie visited Pillbox and was told Chips was put in the ICU after being repeatedly shot in the chest. She then lamented that she never gave him his lunches and regaled Doctor Halcyon with a story about how she'd been lying to Chips about the value of quarters and half-dollars when giving him lunch money because the family was broke. This, however, was just a ploy to take advantage of the doctor's charity and scam her out of several thousand dollars. |
Kayden Dell'Anno †[]
"Listen, whoever you are, Miss... 'Nettie Impostor'. I know that Nettie also died in the war so maybe we were both created in a factory somewhere. Either way, neither of us are who we say we are!" - Kayden
| The Italian Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
Kayden was a former lawyer and tow truck driver who Nettie spent quite a bit of time lusting after early in her career as a medic. Kayden would go on to shoot down Nettie's advances on multiple occasions because she was already married to Jordan. Despite this Nettie and Kayden would go on to become good friends.
Kayden resigned from being a defense attorney after being branded a snitch by her ex husband, Vinny Pistone. Disillusioned with the legal system, she began towing around Pillbox with Jordan, her then new husband. Kayden would eventually go on to become fed up with the snitch branding and quit towing to spend time with The Bondi Boys Motorcycle Club. During this period, she informed Nettie that she was going to war and wasn't sure if she'd come back. Nettie offered her aid and began stockpiling "rations" in the form of water, sandwiches, and bandages to give to Kayden in her time of need. Kayden would come to find her branding as a snitch to be an insurmountable obstacle in her life and decided to fake her death while she made plans to restore her reputation.
After faking her death, Kayden began operating under the alias of 'Camila Biamonte' and went on to schmooze major players in the city as a fixer and hired gun in an attempt to earn their trust. During this time Nettie would have several run-ins with Kayden while not knowing her true identity. Kayden's supposed death had a harsh impact on Nettie and she would frequently blame herself for not getting Kayden her rations or directly helping her in her "war effort". When Kayden eventually abandoned the false identity, it took Nettie several weeks to find out. Nettie would later discover the truth when she was a first responder to a call where Kayden had kidnapped Thalia for allegedly being in a relationship with Jordan.
After Nettie discovered Kayden was still alive, she pretended that her ambulance had broken down so she would have an excuse to confront her. Once Kayden arrived Nettie began berating Kayden, claiming that she was an impostor and that the real Kayden died in "the war". The confrontation ended with Kayden declaring that they both weren't who they claimed to be, and Nettie asserting that she had never been the same since Kayden left her life. Nettie would eventually come to terms with the fact that Kayden was still alive and began seeking her out as a friend again. This lead to her occasionally riding shotgun in Kayden's tow truck while she was off duty.
Sometime later Kayden's best friend, Nora Dupres †, would pass away after being murdered by Bovice. While morning the death of Nora, Wang Chang entered the morgue with his associates and began badgering grieving parties and mocking the corpse of Nora. This sent Kayden over the edge, causing her to assault Chang with a baseball bat and pull a gun on police officers. While in police custody she was pulled aside by Dr. Cross for a psych eval and was committed to Parsons on a 5150 hold after being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. While Kayden was being held in Parsons, Nettie set aside one of her days off to visit her in hopes of consoling her over the death of Nora. Kayden, in a delusional state, believed that she had killed Nora and confided in Nettie that she stabbed her and dumped her body at the courthouse. Kayden then asked Nettie to seduce Jordan and ask him for a knife as a gift. Nettie initially shot down the idea, but humored Kayden once she made the suggestion that she would marry her if she completed the favor. Together they spent a few moments role playing a hypothetical scenario where Nettie would try to seduce Jordan, but the vulgarities Kayden used upset Nettie and she struck her in the face. Nettie apologized and said she wouldn't stand for Jordan speaking to her like that and Kayden insisted that she can't punch Jordan if they wanted the plan to work. Nettie then lied to Kayden and pretended to agree to the plan, leaving Parsons with no intentions to actually seduce Jordan.
Weeks later Nettie would spend a day riding with Kayden while trying to cheer her up because she was drunk and having bad day. This lead to Kayden venting about the various problems in her life including troubles with her new medication, her feud with Jean, Jordan never being around, Chips' crack addiction, and feeling like everyone hated her. They would later arrive at a crime scene after PD requested a tow on the radio, and Kayden unwittingly outed herself as having been drunk driving. To cover for her, Nettie faked being drugged and implied that Jerry and Nino Chavez may have tampered with her and Kayden's drinks at Bahama Mamas, despite Nettie and Kayden having turned down Jerry and Nino's offer to meet them there earlier that night. Nettie would later apologize to Jerry and tell him that it was just a ruse to help Kayden avoid getting a DUI. Once Kayden had sobered up she picked up Nettie from the hospital but, once they began riding together, Nettie answered a phone call from Kizzy and told her that she would ditch Kayden "in a second" for her. This infuriated Kayden, causing her to kick Nettie out of the tow truck and run her over. The incident ended caused Nettie and Kayden to become estranged as friends.
In early November, Nettie entered into an engagement with Jerry Callow with the intent of using him as a beard so she could throw off the scent of an assassin. It was during this period that it came to Nettie's attention that Kayden was potentially dating Jerry on the side. Kayden vehemently denied the notion and acted disgusted that Nettie believed that she'd be interested in Jerry. The rumors continued to mount with Brenda eventually confronting Jerry about it in front of Nettie, and the exchange upset her enough that she fled the scene. Several days later, Brenda approached Nettie with an offer to aid her in entrapping Jordan by seducing him as a way to help Jean Steele gather evidence for their upcoming divorce. Already infuriated with Jerry and Kayden, Nettie accepted the offer and exchanged numbers with Jordan when they ran into each other on a work call, as they were both first responders. Upon hearing that Nettie was engaged to Jerry, Jordan began aggressively pursuing her in an attempt to set up a date to cuck him as revenge for the rumors that Jerry was sleeping with Kayden. Nettie eventually agreed to the date and they both clocked out of work. Kayden became apoplectic when she was informed by Brenda and Trooper Andrews that they overheard Nettie declaring she was going on a date with Jordan before clocking out. Together, the trio stalked Nettie and Jordan to their beach date and surveilled them from a distance. Once the date was over, they confronted Nettie and Jordan in front of the hospital. After a heated argument Kayden declared that she intention to divorce Jordan.
Over the following weeks in December, Kayden began conspiring with her sister, Violet, to get Nettie fired from EMS for trying to steal her husband. It was during this time that they made a concerted effort to pressure several members of the hospital staff and EMS to throw Nettie under the bus and get her in trouble for professional misconduct. The attempts were ultimately futile and no effort was ever really made on the part of the hospital faculty to punish Nettie. In January 2020, Nettie partook in a series of court cases as a witness for Jordan and her relationship with him was put under particular scrutiny. It was during this time that Kayden took the opportunity to put pressure on the DA's office to nail Nettie with a perjury charge. The perjury was eventually investigated, but the case was never formally filed, and Nettie skimmed by the 30 day stature of limitations. Much to Kayden's frustrations.
On February 15th, Kayden confronted Jordan on the Del Pierro Pier and announced that she was going to divorce him. The ensuing argument turned violent when Jordan beat her down, struck her with a car, and threw her off the pier. Kayden was eventually rescued by EMS, but succumbed to her injuries while in surgery at the hospital. Nettie had unfortunately clocked into work just in time to see her pass away, and the mental turmoil sent Nettie into a deep depression. Nettie then aided Dr. Cross in transporting Kayden to the morgue and oversaw the visitation process before saying her final goodbyes. The following day, Nettie and Kyle confronted Jordan about the incident and told him that he was the primary suspect in Kayden's murder. The revelation caused Jordan to become unhinged, as he hadn't intended on killing Kayden, and he would later go on a drug fueled rampage against the PD before Nettie had to save his life by performing CPR after he'd been gunned down. In the weeks following Kayden's death, Nettie set aside time to organize a funeral for her at the Vinewood Cemetery. The ceremony followed a botched attempt by Chips and Jordan to steal Kayden's corpse from the morgue and bury her under a tree at Garage Q, as Chips accidentally stole the body of a dead Vietnamese woman instead. On March 14th, roughly a month after her murder, Kayden was laid to rest. |
Mari Jones[]
"Listen, Mari would never teach me a wrong thing." - Nettie
| The EMS Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
| The former head of EMS and one of Nettie's closet friends, Mari and Nettie were initially trainees together, but Nettie didn't formally apply for the position until several months after Mari had become a medic. Mari lead the department for roughly 6 months before she eventually resigned after being stabbed in the neck.
Nettie made it a habit to regularly tattle on herself when she did something that might cause trouble for the department because she didn't want Mari catching blow-back for events outside of her control. In turn, Mari would frequently be more lenient with Nettie's antics while on duty as she trusted her to be forthright about any serious issues that she might get into. This came to a head when Nettie warned Mari that the DA's office could potentially be investigating her for perjury after lying on the stand during Jordan's divorce case. When the DA formally approached Mari to announce that they were pressing charges she wasn't amused, as at the time she had been seeing officers commit perjury on the stand unabated for months. Mari lead the department for roughly 6 months before she eventually resigned on February 4th, 2020. Her resignation deeply upset Nettie, as Mari was one of her oldest friends in the department. |
Bailey Jade[]
"Nettie, no! We're not shooting anyone!" - Bailey
| The Boss Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Bailey is an old EMS coworker who Nettie first met while Bailey was a trainee and she has a reputation for being one of the friendliest people in the city. The pair quickly became best friends as they frequently gossiped and helped each other in brainstorm solutions to problems in their love lives while on duty. They frequently rode together and were often mistaken for each other as they were both the only blonde medics on the roster for a significant period of time. Despite playing a prominent role as a mentor in Bailey's early career as a medic, Nettie regularly abused her trust and played rather cruel pranks on her for her own amusement. Perhaps a hallmark of Bailey's naivety, she would typically forgive Nettie after the fact and frequently enabled her during such episodes.
Nettie first met Bailey as a trainee when she was an EMT. Despite not being a Paramedic or Field Training Officer, Nettie spent a significant amount of time working with, and training, Bailey while she was still learning the ropes, particularly in helping her learn comm etiquette, driving the ambulance, and prioritizing patients. Due to Bailey growing up on military bases, she frequently referred to Nettie and other superiors as "Sir", "Ma'am", and "Boss". A moniker which quickly grew on Nettie as she enjoying the implied authority which came with such a title. Much to Nettie's disappointment, she realized it was a common term which Bailey had been attributing to other superiors in the department. After hearing Nettie bemoan the revelation, Bailey reassured her that she was special and began calling her Best Boss as a term of endearment. Nettie then began reciprocating the sentiment by referring to Bailey as Best Girl.
Early on in their friendship, Nettie found herself incredibly attracted to Bailey's voice and frequently made passes at her to gauge her interest in women. She found herself disappointed to discover that Bailey was straight and already in a relationship with Midas Campinetti, one of the judges in the city. Though this relationship didn't last long as Bailey discovered that Midas had been cheating on her with several other women, something which Nettie verified with the then Chief Justice, LaBarre. Nettie then suggested that Bailey confront Midas about it and the relationship subsequently ended several days later.
Shortly after Nettie discovered she was being targeted by Bovice, she went back into the closest and began searching for a beard as part of a hare-brained scheme to throw the assassin off her tracks. It was during this period that she met Daisy Dukakis and began aggressively avoiding women while living in a constant state of paranoia. Daisy was rather smitten with Nettie but was confused by her spurred advances and began focusing her attention on Bailey instead. It was shortly after this that Nettie became engaged to Jerry Callow, much to the disappointment of everyone who knew her. Nettie would later ask Bailey to be her Maid of Honor, but it was becoming apparent that Nettie had ulterior motives for marrying Jerry besides just wanting a beard.
Two months after Bailey broke up with Midas, Nettie learned that Bailey was frequently being harassed by men looking to enter a relationship with her. The issue was further compounded when Nettie learned that Bailey was saying yes to dates with people who she wasn't interested in and was starting to develop a small following of stalkers. Nettie then set out to make it her mission to toughen Bailey up and make her more callous to people that wouldn't take no for an answer. This ordeal came to a head when Nettie confronted Bailey after learning that she was being pressured to accept a date with Steve En. Nettie pulled Bailey over to the side of the road to role-play a scenario where she could practice shutting down the advances of suitors who she wasn't interested in. Nettie got carried away in trying to prepare Bailey for a worst case scenario and made a tweet which got her in trouble with HR. Despite this, several days later Nettie's methodology was proven to be effective when Bailey turned Steve down for a date and he made a similar tweet to the fake one Nettie made.
Much to Nettie's disappointment, Bailey continued to have issues with men obsessing over her, even after taking a firmer stance with denying suitors. Nettie deduced that the problem likely stemmed from people misreading Bailey's friendly demeanor as flirting. She then resolved to toughen Bailey up and try to make her a meaner person in general. This plan never fully came to fruition as shortly after Nettie began plotting she discovered that her fiancé, Jerry, was potentially cheating on her with Kayden. It was during this time that Bailey began accruing an alarmingly high number of stalkers and would frequently be kidnapped while on and off duty. Nettie eventually caught wind of this and reached out to Mari in an attempt to find out more information as Bailey was keeping her at arms length after Nettie threatened to murder them. Mari responded to Nettie by giving her the phone number of Jack Deadwood and, much to Bailey's dismay, Nettie attempted to call him and leave him a threatening message via a payphone. At the time Jack was unavailable. Bailey then became extremely upset at Nettie, as both Sarah Ableton and Mari had taken similar actions when Bailey gave them information about Jack.
Shortly after Nettie appointed Bailey as her Maid of Honor, Bailey began frantically trying to find other suitors and options to convince Nettie not to marry Jerry. Initially Bailey attempted to prop up suitors from Nettie's past in an attempt to steer her towards a more sapphic union, suggesting people such as Tracy, Kizzy, and even Tessa; but Nettie was already firmly committed to the idea of marrying a man, for reasons unknown to Bailey at the time. Bailey eventually caught wind that Nettie was flirting with Jordan and they were potentially setting up a date. A few days later, after hearing Kyle Pred suggest to Jordan that Nettie loves teen dramas, Bailey pounced at the opportunity to join in the conversation and try to encourage an alternative relationship to Jerry. Bailey then leveraged her friendship with Nettie to repeatedly wing-man for Jordan and frequently gave him advice for dating her.
In early December, Daisy and Bailey officially began dating after spending time together on a few outings. Despite being adamant about her "heterosexuality", Nettie frequently gave Bailey dating advice and softly encouraged her to explore a relationship with a woman. Though, this encouragement didn't stop Nettie from being bitter and jealous that Bailey spurred her advances only to chose Daisy over her. Roughly a week later, Jordan and Nettie became formally engaged after going out on several dates. Nettie's friendship with Bailey would slowly become strained during this period as they began spending more time with their significant others than with each other and started working different shifts. Bailey's unavailability would also put a wrinkle in Nettie's wedding planning and it would go on to spend much of December and January in limbo. Bailey's confidence in Nettie's engagement to Jordan began to wane after Jordan ran over Jean Steele with his car while on his way to a date with Nettie. Shortly after this Bailey began to slowly be exposed to Nettie's darker side in private conversations, as she frequently mused about murdering Jean and Kayden.
In mid January, Nettie and Bailey both attended a hit and run trial for Jordan for running over Jean. During the trial Bailey was shocked when Nettie lied on the stand and deliberately committed perjury as a cover for Jordan. During the deliberations, Nettie and Jordan both attempted to coerce Bailey into smuggling them across the state border in her ambulance so Jordan could flee the potential charges, but Bailey ultimately refused and insisted that they were both good people and didn't need to run. Jordan would go on to lose the trial, but the DA's office took notice and began keeping an eye on Nettie. Shortly afterwards, Nettie committed perjury again at Jean and Jordan's divorce trial. This incident ended up being far more blatant and the DA's office decided to formally press perjury charges against Nettie after conduction a small investigation. Fearing a potential termination from her job was on the horizon, Nettie began confiding in Bailey, Mari, and Boba that she did, in fact, deliberately commit perjury to protect Jordan as she didn't want to see him fired or financially ruined by the court cases. It was during this time that Nettie began to muse about saving face for the department by resigning, an idea that Bailey was heavily opposed to. |
| The Former Protégé Arc - 2.0 |

In the early months of 2020, Nettie began struggling to find happiness between her work and her strife-filled relationship with Jordan. The pressures in her life eventually came to a head when she willfully resigned from EMS on March 17th after taking a leave of absence from work and being put on a suspension. Nettie's decision to leave the department weighed heavy on Bailey as she felt like everyone she loved at EMS was leaving between Nettie, Bree, Bambi, Mari, and the recently deceased Boba. Despite leaving EMS, Nettie and Bailey continued to be close friends, with Bailey frequently visiting her at Garage Q during slow EMS shifts.
In February, Jordan broke his leg on a bike rack and suffered a compound fracture while at the scene of a store robbery. Being a workaholic he insisted on getting back in the field as soon as possible and began abusing pain medications after being discharged from the hospital. This incident ended up being a catalyst for a series of tragic events that would go on to cause Jordan to be fired, Kayden and Boba to be murdered, and Nettie to break off her relationship with Jordan; all in the span of little more than a week. Having no one to turn to, Nettie began slipping into psychotic episode when her support network failed on the same day that Jordan nearly died and she had to perform CPR to save his life. The strain of this ordeal, coupled with the thankless disposition of the patients she'd been working to save, eventually caused Nettie to take a leave of absence from work to escape the stress it was causing her.
Weeks later, while on her LoA, Nettie was summoned to a court case as a witness to Jordan shooting at her ambulance in the preceding incident. Shortly after being called to the stand Nettie spiraled into an angry outburst and was given contempt of court. She was sent to prison with Jordan later that day and was eventually picked up by Bailey after her time had been served. Bailey was shocked that Nettie was sent to prison for contempt and bewildered that she was talking about leaving EMS, as if she'd already made up her mind that she was going to be fired. Bailey insisted that Nettie would be alright, but the following day Nettie was issued a notice of her suspension by EMS command. In the middle of Nettie's suspension Jack Deadwood returned and attempted to force Mari to kill herself in a twisted messaged to Bailey, but he was ultimately caught by police and put into Parsons. Nettie confronted both Bailey and Mari at the hospital about this incident and insisted that they allow her to be alone in a room with Jack before he was shipped off, but they both gave her a firm rebuke. Later in the night, Jordan proposed murdering Jack together with Nettie for Bailey's sake, but Nettie ultimately conceded to Bailey's wishes to leave the stalker alone.
On March 17th, Bailey would learn that she was spending her final day working with Nettie when she privately announced her resignation shortly before ending her shift. The news devastated Bailey as Nettie was one of her oldest friends in the department and she believed Nettie to be one of the best medics in the city, claiming that she pushed boundaries and that things wouldn't be the same without her. Bailey and Mari then helped Nettie finish out her final shift with a staged Life Flight rescue, so that she could fly the helicopter on one last time. In the days following her resignation, Nettie began working at Garage Q and Bailey made it a routine to drive by the parking lot every shift to see if she was around.
Shortly after Nettie resigned, EMS went through a restructure that saw several of it's members promoted and fast tracked to FTO positions. It was during this period that Bailey was promoted to the position of Lieutenant and took on a command role in the department. Nettie and Copperpot would also go on to take leadership roles at Garage Q during the evening shift and made headway in the company by significantly expanding the employee roster and overhauling the books to make sure finances were properly tracked.
On April 4th, Nettie and Jordan married during a ceremony at the Vinewood Cemetery after Apples had a funeral where he faked his death. During the ceremony Bailey stood by as Nettie's maid of honor and helped her pick her wedding suit as she refused to wear a dress. Daisy and Bailey would later give Nettie a sawn-off shotgun as a wedding present before they left. After the ceremony, a reception was held at Garage Q and Daisy ended up saving Nettie's life when she helped Dan Faily gun down Violet van Housen and Claire Seducer after they stabbed Nettie. |
Kizzy Neveah[]
"Actually, I think the issue there was Brenda didn't want Amara and Amara was deluding herself." - Kizzy
| The Therapy Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Kizzy is Nettie's former therapist and best friend. Despite knowing that Kizzy was straight, Nettie developed a romantic interest in her because she felt Kizzy was one of the few people in the city who truly understood her. Nettie and Kizzy have a complicated relationship where Kizzy often bullies and gaslights her to try and coerce her into making what she believes are better decisions in her life.
Nettie and Kizzy eventually had a falling out after Kizzy gossiped to her coworkers about something Nettie told her in confidence. The incident caused Nettie to cut all ties with her, going as far as hiring Jean to perform a breakup song for Kizzy to signify the end of their friendship.
Roughly a month passed before Nettie eventually tried reaching out to Kizzy again. Nettie was shocked to discover Kizzy had been fired from Pillbox and developed a crack addiction. Despite her best efforts, nobody working at the hospital would give her a straight answer regarding the circumstances of Kizzy's termination.
Nettie would eventually go on to join forces with Jessie Skid, another former patient of Kizzy, and attempt to puzzle out what had happened to her. Before either party could get a straight answer, Jessie was 5150'd due to his mental instability and Kizzy began going clean on her own. Eventually Nettie went on to hire Kizzy to decorate her home. Over the course of a month Nettie refused to enter her house as she wanted it's final appearance to be a surprise. Much to the malaise of Kizzy, Nettie began living in the janitor's closet and the breakroom at Pillbox rather than sleeping in her own bed. Something which she began telling everyone she met to milk the attention and sympathy due to the reactions it garnered. This habit quickly became a obsession for Nettie as, shortly after Kizzy began decorating her house, she discovered that she was being hunted by Bovice. During this period of being hunted, Kizzy finished decorating Nettie's house but Nettie began refusing to go to her home out of necessity as she was fearful that the hired killer knew where she lived. Kizzy would eventually convince Nettie to sleep in her home again by offering to showcase the work she had done in person.
In early winter, Nettie began dating Jordan Steele as part of an elaborate plan to get back at Jerry Callow for stealing one of her ex girlfriends. Unbeknownst to Nettie, Kizzy had developed a very long running feud with the Steele's and viewed them as terrible people. This revelation ended up putting an extreme strain on Nettie and Kizzy's friendship as Kizzy couldn't fathom what Nettie could see in Jordan. Kizzy would eventually go on to give Nettie an ultimatum, she would either break off her relationship with Jordan or else Kizzy would end their friendship and ghost her. Several months later, Kizzy would return to Nettie while she was on suspension from EMS for contempt of court. During the ensuing intervention, Nettie claimed that she was originally seducing Jordan as a favor for Kayden, as Kayden promised to marry her if she did, but fell in love with him instead. |
Jessie Skid †[]
"You're a good egg, Jessie. I hope you've been staying safe." - Nettie
| The Hunted Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
A former schizophrenic patient of Kizzy, and one of Nettie's close friends, Jessie is a troubled young man who Nettie first met shortly after discovering Kizzy had been fired. In the weeks following their initial meeting, Nettie and Jessie kept in contact via text messages and phone calls as they attempted to discover what caused Kizzy to enter her downward spiral.
Eventually, Jessie would be caught by then-Officer Jordan Steele and placed on a 5150 hold after having attempted to evade a warrant. Nettie would continue reaching out to Jessie and regularly visit him at Parsons to keep him updated on current affairs, events in her life, and what she'd discovered about Kizzy. Nettie's refusal to read his scattered notes, due to concerns for his privacy, caused him to trust and respect Nettie more than he had prior to his 5150 hold.
Jessie would eventually find himself embroiled in Bovice's attempts to bring the city to its knees as an informant from within Parsons. During this time Jessie would overhear a conversation between Bovice and a disguised woman as they discussed targeting members of EMS. After discovering Nettie was one of their targets he took it upon himself to leak the information of the plot to Nettie in an attempt to save her life. The consequences of which sent Nettie on a deeply paranoid spiral that led to her developing a phobia of women, insomnia, and a self-destructive caffeine addiction.
Months later, after being reevaluated, Jessie was released from Parsons with the stipulation that he regularly take his medication. During this time he largely vanished from Nettie's life, but not before texting her that Khaleesi White was the woman Bovice had sent to target her.
Later in December, after finding out that Nettie was engaged to Jordan, Jessie staged a minor intervention with her and attempted to convince her that Jordan was an awful person. Nettie was unmoved by Jessie's arguments, and Jessie issued an ominous warning that she was, "Making a mistake." before disappearing from her life again.
On January 25, 2020, Jessie passed away after being stabbed to death by The Menagerie. Nettie wouldn't discover his fate until several months later.
On March 6th, 2020, Nettie learned from Kizzy that Jessie had passed away. The news shocked Nettie as she'd just assumed that she hadn't heard from him due to their strained friendship. Nettie would go on to learn during this conversation that it was was Sam McEntyre who got Kizzy fired. Thus solving the mystery that Nettie and Jessie sought so hard to resolve. |
James 'Apples' Apeller[]
"We can't hurt Nettie, she's a friend!" - Apples
| The Self-Pity Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Apples is a long-time friend of Nettie who she first met as an EMT. Nettie identified with his downtrodden and self-deprecating nature as she shared similar issues. Despite Apples later developing a reputation as a hit-man and bank robber, Nettie naively refused to believe that he was a bad person and regularly asserted that he was, "A good boy, and would never hurt anyone." Ever since Nettie began working at Garage Q, she's come to accept that he's the self-described scum that he claims to be.
On his first day in the city, Nettie met Apples when one of his friends asked her to go on a date with him. The following day, before Nettie could get back to Apples, he fell off a crane while Chris McGrawl and another medic were trying to escort him down. Due to his self-deprecating nature, the medics believed him to be suicidal and had him turned over to the LSPD and the Pillbox psych-department to be 5150'd. Later that day Nettie found out that Apples' was being held in prison on a 5150 hold and decided to not follow through on taking up his offer for a date. While he was in prison he kept in contact with her via texts and explained his situation. Nettie attempted to make time to visit him while he was waiting to be evaluated, but her busy work schedule made visiting him impossible. Several days later she'd run into Apples at Garage Q after he'd been released and they briefly caught up.
Shortly after Nettie meet Apples, he found himself being recruited by the Leanbois as a body double for Ricky. This association eventually lead to Apples losing his arms and legs to make him a 'nugget' like Ricky once was. Upon hearing that Apples was left in such a state, Nettie went to MRPD to support him as a friend. She was initially refused access while he was giving a statement, because he had amnesia and couldn't remember the circumstances surrounding the loss of his limbs. This led Nettie to lying and claiming she was his mother in a bid support him in his vulnerable state. Nettie would later take Apples around the city and try to help him remember his past. Eventually Tracy would catch wind of the story that Nettie spun about being Apples' mother and began berating Nettie as if it were true. Nettie eventually relented and admitted to the lie. Apples would later have legs surgically grafted to his body when Denzel and other members of the Leanbois abducted Tracy and forced her to preform the surgery. Apples would eventually get rolled into a plot by Ricky to cause chaos in the city while disguised as himself. The scheme was part of Ricky's protest over the LSPD identifying him by his outfit. Their plans during this period involved kidnapping and forcing people to be dressed as Ricky while they went on crime sprees. After having a negative encounter with Nettie, Savannah Castillo, an associate of Ricky and Apples, attempted to target Nettie for one of their outings. Nettie's paranoia from being hunted by Bovice's associates proved to make her an evasive target initially and several days later Apples mentioned that he would refuse to target Nettie regardless as, "She's a friend." |
| The Steele Security Arc - 2.0 |

| * Steele Security
Shortly after resigning from EMS, Nettie and Apples reconnected and began working together at Jordan's private security company and parking lot. Nettie quickly became frustrated with Apples' incompetence at the company as he'd frequently conduct illegal business on the lot and engage in sloppy criminal endeavors. As time marched on, she came to accept his methodology as his connections frequently brought valuable and skilled employees and interns into the fold. Several weeks after they began working together, Apples faked his own death at a dual funeral-wedding ceremony that was being held by Nettie and Jordan so that Apples could go into hiding. During this period he adopted the alias "Zero" and began conducting business as usual during the morning shift. Shortly after resigning from EMS Nettie became acquainted with August Vakarian, Apples' then fiance, and the pair became fast friends. Nettie had previously met August in January and was well aware of the woman's mental instability. Despite this she graciously accepted August's proposal that Nettie be her maid of honor as August had no other close female friends at the time. During the intervening months prior to the wedding, August and Apples would eventually confide in Nettie that the wedding was a ruse engineered to rob several of Apples' enemies with an elaborate plan to hijack an aircraft and jettison the occupants out mid-flight. August would reassure Nettie that they were close friends but admitted that her initial interest in having Nettie be the maid of honor was her ability to pilot aircraft. Unfortunately Nettie only knew how to fly helicopters and the couple became slightly discouraged that they'd have to look elsewhere. Not wanting to disappoint her close friends, Nettie turned her attention towards potentially learning how to fly airplanes and jets for the wedding. This would eventually lead her to briefly leaving the city to attend a flight school in Jacksonville, Florida. Unbeknownst to Nettie, it was a fraudulent flight school and she was scammed out of $60,000 and given a fake certificate. On July 17th, Apples and August held their wedding ceremony at Chumash pier. There were several dozen guests in attendance with a plurality of them dressed as Rickys and Ellies and several members of the Leanbois were present as security. Chaos broke out halfway through the ceremony when Kyle Rogain, Apples' long time arch nemesis, objected to the union but he was promptly dispatched by Denzel and Pepe. Shortly after Apples and August were wed, Nettie and several other VIPs where escorted to a limousine and were promptly taken to the Los Santos International Airport where they were going to be given an aerial tour of the city as part of the wedding celebration. Prior to taking off, Apples and Pepe pat down several of the VIP guests for weapons and then the flight commenced. Once in the air the previously cordial discussion quickly turned hostile as Apples, Pepe, and August hijacked the aircraft at gunpoint and informed the VIPs that they were going to have to play a game if they intended to survive the flight. As part of the ruse, Nettie briefly pretended to be one of the victims of the hijacking. One by one, several of the VIPs were ejected from the aircraft by Pepe as the passengers bid on their lives. Halfway into the process Apples instructed Nettie to enter the cockpit and for Bryce to hand over controls to her. After a brief nosedive, Nettie regained control of the aircraft but unfortunately a considerable amount of time had been wasted arguing mid-flight and cost them a significant amount of fuel. Enraged by having to rush his plan, Apples ejected Bryce and his fiancé, Izzy, out of the plane. Shortly afterwards the plane had nearly run out of fuel, forcing Nettie to attempt a last-ditch landing on the Sandy Shores Airfield. Unfortunately, she came in at a bad angle and crashed the aircraft. Miraculously, no one was detained for the hijacking despite three of the VIPs being sent to the ICU. Apples and August ultimately went into hiding, with August telling Nettie that they were claiming to be on a honeymoon in Russia as part of an alibi to duck any potential terrorism charges. Nettie was later confronted at Garage Q by Tessa after she'd learned of the incident and Nettie wryly brushed aside any responsibility for the hijacking and subsequent crash.
Several months later Apples would begin to spiral into a deep depression when his best friend, Louis, was murdered after the Rickys were betrayed by Denzel. Both Nettie and Jordan were largely absent during this period of his life and Apples began to struggle with running the business in their absence, as Copperpot left the country to pursue the Leanbois when they fled to Mexico with Denzel. On November 16th, August was murdered by Zero. A man who, ironically, shared an alias with Apples. After a brief investigation, Apples was cleared of being a suspect in August's murder and eventually retrieved her body from the morgue and gave her a burial at sea. Several weeks later Nettie returned from her hiatus to met with Apples at the lot, but he was in a deep mental spiral and was being held in police custody. Later that evening Apples was 5150'd while in custody because he was hearing, and having conversations with, the voices of August and Louis. While Nettie waited in the lobby of MRPD to retrieve him, Jenny Hall and Tracy informed her about the deaths August and Louis'. |
Wilhelmina Copperpot[]
"I didn't shoot cops, Nettie shot cops! Oh god, I'm freaking out man!" - Copperpot
| The Paranoia Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Willie, or Copperpot as she's more commonly known, is a news reporter for The Los Santos Herald and the assistant manager of Steele Security. Copperpot has a fiery temper and a reputation of being ride or die for people who she's close with. She frequently slips into the role of being a "right hand man" in many of her ventures and is known to get results when she sets her mind to a task. Nettie initially mistook Copperpot's loyalty to Jordan as her being competition for his affection, but the two quickly became close friends after an incident where Nettie, Chips, Jordan, and Justin Steele had to rescue Copperpot after she'd been abducted by the Angels. Since then the pair regularly meet up together and help each other with matters in their day to day lives, often regarding odd jobs associated with the lot. Despite still being in the closet, Nettie developed a crush on Copperpot and frequently flirted with her by calling her by various pet names such as "Copy" and "Copperhot".
Prior to working at the lot, Nettie bumped into Copperpot on several occasions in Fall of 2019 while Copperpot was a reporter for her private newspaper, The Los Santos Herald. During this period Nettie infrequently ran unto Copperpot when she arrived at scenes to triage patients. Due to Copperpot's profession as a reporter, the pair at one time got into an argument over access to patient information that was protected by HIPAA.
Sometime later Copperpot and Apples were hired by Kayden and Jerry to work at Steele Family Parking. During this period she leveraged her newspaper to write propaganda pieces for Garage Q and a handful of Kayden's other ventures. Copperpot later spiraled into a crack addiction when general operations at the parking lot ceased weeks prior to Kayden's death.
Copperpot eventually bounced back when she attended a trial where Jordan was being prosecuted for assaulting Nettie with an AP pistol and later getting into a shootout with PD while having Bobby Smith as a hostage. She leveraged her position as a member of the press to speak with Jordan during a recess and persuaded him to give her a job at the lot as the propaganda arm and later wrote an article about the trial after Nettie unintentionally threw her statement in a rage and was given contempt of court.
Shortly after Kayden's death, members of her gang, The Angels, began attempting to murder Jordan and his employees as they blamed believed him to be her murderer. This lead to several clashes that eventually saw Copperpot kidnapped and tortured by a lighthouse on the northwest of the island. Nettie accompanied Jordan, his brother Justin, and Chips in an attempt to rescue her. They ended up being too late to prevent her torture, but were able to get her safely to the hospital. This event left Copperpot with the word Angel permanently scarred on her back after having been carved in. Less than a week later Justin was murdered on the lot during a shootout between Steele Security and a mixed coalition of the Leanbois and the Angels. This hit Copperpot especially hard as she'd developed a fleeting relationship with Justin prior to his death. Nettie would later take it upon herself to console Copperpot while she grieved and encouraged her to slap Bailey to vent her angst. Later that day Nettie resigned from EMS.
In the following weeks, Nettie began working the evening shift at Steele Family Parking alongside Copperpot and aided in hiring employees and general bookkeeping. They eventually began making plans to use the business as a front for Jordan to move coke for the East Side Ballas, weed for The Families, and meth for Bovice Wilkinson. During this period Nettie developed a close business relationship with Melbert Rickenbacker for the lot to help procure brass knuckles for employees and pioneered an intern program with Copperpot that's still used to this day.
Shortly after Jordan won his murder and appeals trials, he needed to go in for surgery and was out of commission while he recovered. During this time Nettie and Copperpot took over day-to-day operations operations of the lot to keep the business running in his absence. To make the lot feel more professional for promotional purposes, they set out to make valet uniforms for their employees and ran a limited-time offer to personally valet cars in parking spaces for customers at the lot. This promotion was short-lived, however, as Nettie would later get into a shootout with officers in front of Pillbox to save Mel and Gladys from police custody while not wearing a mask. Nettie and Copperpot then spent the rest of the night in hiding while fearing that there were warrants out for their arrests. This lead them to temporarily assuming western themed accents and using the aliases, Thelma and Louise. For a period of several weeks, Jordan was MIA at Garage Q and much of the day-to-day operations were left to Nettie, Copperpot, and Apples. It was during this time that Nettie became wrapped up in a plot by the Narrator, Thomas Dwayne, to leverage his influence over patients who he'd treated with hypnotherapy to build a small army of sleeper agents and terrorize members of the LSPD with psychological warfare. Thomas summoned Nettie for her first mission where he had her disguise herself and be a member of his security detail while he fed Brian Knight a fabricated narrative espousing the existence of the Illuminati and that he was a prominent member caught in an internal power struggle. Ever suspicious of Thomas' intentions with Nettie, Copperpot caught wind that she was being used for something and snuck into the meeting and recorded several minutes of their conversation with a microphone. After the meeting was adjourned, Nettie and the other bodyguards slowly filed out. But Brian was dragged into a firefight with Nettie after employees at Garage Q were caught in the act of intercepting two of Thomas' other bodyguards. The gunfight ended in a draw when Nettie broke off and fled the scene after realizing she wasn't masked. Copperpot caught the brief dual on camera from a construction site across the street but promptly deleted the footage as she was worried that it'd incriminate Nettie. She then contacted Brian and confronted him about his involvement with Nettie and Thomas, as her only goal was to keep Nettie safe and free her from the hypnotism.
In the weeks following the incident with Brian, Copperpot became increasingly paranoid due to her awareness of the sleeper agents at Garage Q and the ever increasing volume of employees with split allegiances. She decided to begin working the morning shift to keep closer tabs on Apples as he had become a nexus for the Rooster Cab Co. employees that had recently been hired at the parking lot. She wouldd later begin working with Petunia Brookshire to figure out which employees at both companies had been compromised by Thomas. Unbeknownst to Copperpot, Louis Baton had sussed out that Alexa Caldwell was a plant who was working for Thomas at both companies and sanded her under his own volition. The nature of the attack lead to Thomas believing that Apples was responsible and when he questioned Nettie on the matter she told him it was something she believed Apples would do if he felt crossed. Thomas then organized a meeting with Apples and Copperpot using a false identity and gravely injured both of them in an ambush that ended up putting Copperpot in a coma and suffered permanent damage to her vision and scarring around her eyes.
Once out of her coma, Copperpot became increasingly obsessed with getting revenge on Thomas' crew, and was far less cautious when aiding Jordan and Apples' stage their propaganda videos targeting Garage T. Copperpot eventually caught Thomas slipping while she was organizing a search party for Louis and Nicky after Petunia informed her that they'd been abducted. After a shootout between Steele Security and The Illuminati, Copperpot apprehended Thomas and exposed several of his employees to Ellie Dono as being undercover agents. She then took Thomas and Alexa to the coast and stabbed them in the neck and leaving them to bleed out.
On July 17th, August Vakarian and Apples moved forward with their plans to get married and enlisted a large number of Rickys to attend the wedding, including Apples' close friend, Denzel. Nettie would also be present for the wedding as a guest and pilot. After the ceremony Copperpot and Cellar Ricky kept the party guests preoccupied while Nettie aided Apples, August and Pepe in hijacking the aircraft during the "VIP" afterparty.
Months later, August began snooping into the death of Apples' former best friend and mentor, Ricky and discovered that Denzel may have murdered Ricky in a mercy killing. Attempting to bring closure to Apples, August attempted to set up a meeting between him and Denzel. Denzel panicked at the revelation and decided his only solution was to murder Apples, August, and Louis once that'd confronted him at the pier. Apples and August survived their wounds, but Louis bleed to death on the pier. Upon learning of Louis' death, Copperpot suffered a mental breakdown and became obsessed with murdering Denzel. This caused her to leave the city for several months while she tracked him down. Upon returning to the city, Copperpot reconnected with Nettie and they attempted to pick up business where they'd left off at the lot. Together they met with Bred and learned that he was meeting with Buck Stanton to negotiate payment terms for the funding that the government provided their business. Upon learning of the chaos Apples was causing due to the recent deaths of August and Louis, Stanton informed them that he was revoking their state funding and considering putting the contract up for review. Copperpot then responded by threatening to murder Stanton if he tried to take the lot away and then left the courthouse with Nettie. Following the encounter with Stanton, Copperpot enlisted Nettie's help in teaching Bred a lesson for trying to supersede the authority of the old management. They then kidnapped Bred and took him to Q-court in Sandy Shores. After giving him a lengthy monologue, Copperpot then craved "HARK" into Bred's back with a knife before leaving him for EMS. The incidents ended up causing Stanton to schedule a review of the Garage Q contract for Steele Family Parking. Which in turn eventually lead to Q being taken away and a contract the Harmony Garage being given to Jordan instead.
Copperpot later turned herself in to the LSPD in light an outstanding warrant regarding the murder of Cameron Dupres, a former lot employee who's head she kept in her refrigerator, so she could wait in prison for the opportunity to murder Denzel from the inside. Despite Copperpot giving the LSPD Cameron's severed head, it was actually Luther Caine and Freesh Avacadoh who were largely responsible for his death several months prior.
On January 18, Copperpot was brought to trial for the murder of Cameron. She called Nettie and several other former Q employees to court including Petunia and Pepe. Despite showing very obvious signs of mental instability, the trail went forward with Copperpot self-representing and she was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. The outcome severely upset Nettie as she wasn't given an opportunity to make an impact statement and she began making a scene, screaming at a half-empty courtroom that had already been vacated. Shortly after Nettie began demanding that Copperpot be given a psych evaluation she was pulled aside by the district attorney, Paige Green, and suggested to get in contact with a lawyer and a psychiatrist to try and get the ruling overturned and have Copperpot moved from prison to Parsons instead. |
Thomas Dwayne[]
"Nettie, I need you to listen closely: War." - Thomas
| The Hypnosis Arc - 2.0 |
|---|
|
Most commonly known by his former alias, The Narrator, Thomas is one of Nettie's many therapists and recently began playing a significant role in her life. Despite initially hypnotizing Nettie to make her a sleeper agent for Mel, Thomas quickly took the initiative to undue some of the damage after he'd been confronted by Copperpot and Jordan because Mel had been abusing Nettie's trigger-word and frivolously getting her into shootouts with the police. Unbeknownst to Copperpot, when Thomas undid Nettie's hypnotism he replaced it with a new trigger-word, "War", making her loyal directly to himself rather than Mel. Suspicious that Nettie was still hypnotized and loyal to Mel, Copperpot began tailing Nettie with the help of Louis Baton and Temuthy Clackus while Thomas was using Nettie as security detail for a private meeting with Brian Knight. Tensions came to a head when Louis and Temuthy detained another guard so that Copperpot could spy on the meeting. The scuffle ended up indirectly causing Nettie and Brian to become engaged in a firefight with each other, but the skirmish ended in a draw when Nettie realized what was happening and fled the scene. In exchange for using her as assistance in his shadowy schemes Thomas frequently offers to help Nettie with some of the problems in her life, namely having people who she has beef with assassinated. So far Nettie has only directed Thomas towards Bailey's stalkers. Notably, he's also told Nettie that he'd work on resolving her conflict Choi regarding the ownership of Garage T.
Due to a number of betrayals, Nettie's allegiance to Thomas' group has significantly faltered. Shortly after an incident where he had Apples and Copperpot abducted, and stabbed and shot respectively, Nettie was able to piece together who their attackers were when Apples gave her the phone number of his assailant. Continued stories of encounters with "The Real T-bois" have put Nettie on edge and she's since begun neglecting the tasks given to her by Thomas. The final nail in the coffin being when Nettie had a chance encounter with Dan Faily at the morgue shortly after the death of Bodean Tucker and he reminded her that she was a good person when he thanked her for being there for him. Prior to this, Thomas had previously tasked her with getting Dan to sign off duty and met with her alone so that they could abduct him.
Two weeks later, Nettie completely severed ties with Thomas and his group due to his continued support of Dr. Choi's ownership of Garage T. The ensuing drama caused Nettie to become fed up with managing the evening shift at the business and she left the city to go on a vacation for several months before she eventually returned in October of 2020. |
Miscellaneous Relationships[]
"A lot of times people randomly come up and tell me that they love me. It's actually kind of annoying." - Nettie
| Steele Security Employees - 2.0 |
|---|
|
During her time working at Jordan's businesses, Nettie has made several friends at the lot. These range from managers, employees, interns, and prospective hires. The general manager of Steele Family Parking and Steele Security, Copperpot works closely with Jordan on many matters related to running the lot. She helps with security, keeping the books organized, hires, fires, and consults with employees on legal and interpersonal matters. Nettie initially viewed Copperpot as competition, but the pair quickly became friends after Nettie helped save her when she was abducted and tortured by the Angels. Now they frequently manage the businesses together when Jordan isn't in available. The morning shift manager of Steele Family Parking, Apples uses the lot as a front for his less than legal side-projects and frequently gets employees involved in various crimes away from the business, particularly with his girlfriend August Vakarian. Apples is one of the few people at Garage Q with a reliable gun connect and frequently supplies employees with SNS pistols which he purchases in bulk. Apples notably faked his own death and had a funeral at the Vinewood Cemetery on the same day as Nettie and Jordan's wedding ceremony. During a period of roughly two weeks he operated under the alias "Zero". Despite being close friends friends with Nettie he seldom interacts with her as they work completely opposite shifts at the lot. Ashkenaz, or Ash for short, is an unstable pyromaniac employed by Jordan for lot security. Nettie first met Ash several days before Jordan started up his security firm and the pair formed a bitter rivalry where they would verbally assault each other every time they met. Eventually these hostilities would simmer when Ash began working for Steele Security and they worked together on various odd jobs once she had resigned from EMS. Dan is the bastard son of Brian Knight, and one of Copperpot's former friends. He was hired to the lot as a security guard and frequently helped Steele Security in numerous endeavors. Dan was notably a good shot and saved Nettie, Jordan, and Copperpot during multiple gunfights at the lot. Dan had a brief falling out with Nettie and Copperpot when he revealed that he was resigning from his security job to join the Department of Corrections in hopes of one day becoming a police officer like his father. They eventually came to terms with him leaving and he still frequently visits the lot and helps the company with matters like investigating suspicious behavior, tailing people, and reporting violent crimes against employees to the police. Nettie frequently bullied and abused Dan, going as far as beating him unconscious with brass knuckles and a baseball bat at the lot because Agnes Ranbough was bored and didn't have any patients to treat. Dan was eventually fired and banned from the lot when he joined the LSPD. August was Apples' girlfriend and could usually be found manning the lot for him when he's busy or not around. She frequently helps him commit crimes and was formerly committed to Parsons for several months. Nettie first met her back in February when she prank called August after seeing a yellow pages ad, when Nettie dialed the the number she was greeted by August asking to be stabbed over the phone. Nettie and August would later bond in late April after Nettie vented to her about wanting to murder Solomon Seerson. That same day August would take to calling Nettie her best friend and asked her to be her maid of honor for her wedding with Apples. Though Nettie would later find out that the wedding is just a ruse as Apples merely wanted a pilot for one of his Rickyism plots. In mid-July Nettie attended August's wedding ceremony and during the afterparty she helped Apples and August hijack the jet for their Ricky plan. On November 16th, August was murdered by Ezekiel "Zero" Rogaine. Louis is Apples' closest friend and confidant. Being a Rooster Cab Co. company-man, Louis' loyalty to Garage Q has frequently come under scrutiny by Nettie as, despite enjoying his prescience and banter, she believes he frequently defends other RCC employees who have wronged the lot. Upon learning that Louis had begun working for BBC as well, Nettie became apoplectic and began insisting on firing him from Garage Q. Apples was eventually able to pull Nettie aside and inform her that Louis was a triple agent working with him to undermine RCC and BBC from the inside. Unbeknownst to Nettie, Louis would later be murdered by Denzel Williams when Denzel had a mental breakdown after August discovered the truth about Denzel's role in executing Ricky Robins and confronted him about it. |
| Business Contacts 2.0 |
|---|
| Throughout her time in the city, Nettie has entered into several tentative business partnerships and associations with various people around town. These interactions range from contract work, commissions, and various service jobs.
Notable individuals include: Nettie briefly worked with Matt during his time owning and operating the recycling center. A former Pillbox receptionist, Doug is Nettie's primary source for the cannabis products she consumes while off duty. Prior to getting his business, White Widow Dispensary, set up Doug used to help Nettie at the hospital by photocopying her favorite poems and putting them in binders throughout the hospital so they would be easy for her to find should a patient die or need to go into the ICU. Notable for his thriving music ventures, Bryce and Nettie at one point set out to work on a collaborative music project. Progress on the song she commissioned was put into limbo when she had to focus the bulk of her time and resources on preparing for her perjury investigation. Her original intention was to use a potential prison sentence to generate publicity and launch a music career should she be found guilty and be unable to continue working as a medic. Nettie would later hound Bryce for a refund when she went through a loan shark phase after leaving EMS. She went as far as confiding in Copperpot that she intended to shoot Bryce in the head with a shotgun if he didn't make good on a refund. Bryce eventually talked Nettie down from the $40k by offering her $20k and a promotional song for Garage Q instead. An old friend of Nettie's, and a former stalker of Bailey, Steve's job at the Bean Machine made him a reoccurring figure in Nettie's life while she was struggling with her caffeine addiction and insomnia. Steve also frequently attempted to entice Nettie into partaking in the various money-making schemes both him and his mother, Jenn Bordeaux, would come up with. A self-proclaimed seduction artist and serial flirt, Jenn had a reputation in the city for being an exotic personality due to her French accent. Despite frequently making passes at Nettie early on in their friendship, Nettie declined to reciprocate as she didn't find her accent particularly alluring in the same way others did. Nettie would go on to occasionally seek out Jenn's services when she was going through relationship troubles and notably signed up to be in the Beta program for Jenn's dating website. Although, the service eventually fell through and Nettie ended up smoothing things over in her relationship before an opportunity to participate even presented itself.
A relatively new face to the city, Luna was a freelance graphic designer who Nettie hired to make invitations for her wedding with Jordan. Nettie was quite pleased with how the final design came out. Copperpot and Nettie would later use Luna's occupation to try and lure a bounty target out of hiding with a fake business phone call, but the man in question didn't take the bait. Prior to their friendship souring, Nettie hired Jean on a handful of occasions to sing songs for friends. These commissioned performances weren't always trivial matters as Jean would sometimes need time in advance to learn a song before a performance. |
| The Lawyers - 2.0 |
|---|
| During her time in the city Nettie has required the services of lawyers on a handful of occasions, but ever since she's entered a relationship with Jordan she's found herself in court far more frequently than she cares to admit.
Notable legal representatives include: Jerry became Nettie's attorney shortly after she discovered that Bovice had given someone a task to murder her. During this period she sought out legal counsel regarding the creation of a will, as Nora Dupres and Kermit Delaw had both been recently murdered in Bovice's name. Nettie would later leverage this connection with Jerry to try and marry him as a cover for being gay while she went back into the closet. A lawyer and former lot employee hired by Kayden, Nettie and Solomon had a rocky relationship going back to December of 2019 when Kayden hired him to dig up dirt on Nettie because she of relationship with Jordan. Nettie carried forward a deep resentment of Solomon after Kayden had passed away as Solomon asserted that Nettie was a worse wife and business manager than Kayden. This rivalry nearly came to a head when Nettie mused about abducting Solomon and murdering him with a shotgun during one of her manic episodes. Despite winning neither case, Nettie was impressed by Kevin's performance during Jordan's two big trials in January and elected to hire him to represent her when she was made aware that she was being investigated for perjury after lying on the stand for Jordan. Due to a slew of major murder investigations, Kevin advised Nettie to not bring up the investigation because the DA's office was very busy with other cases, the advice paid off and her case was never formally filed on the court docket. Nettie never formally hired Ginzu, but she reached out to him on a handful of occasions regarding Jordan's murder trials after the couple formally smoothed things over after their breakup. Nettie was initially hostile to Ginzu as he implied that she would be attacked during a court case where she testified against Jordan for shooting at her. She eventually made amends with Ginzu after she received contempt of court, as she felt liberated by the outburst. A former District Attorney and close friend of Nettie's, Adrienne was briefly Nettie's legal counsel prior to her taking the role of being a special prosecutor against Jordan during the Kayden Dell'Anno murder trial. Nettie was especially irate with Adrienne as she initially believed she would be representing Jordan during the proceedings. Crane barreled into Nettie and Jordan's lives when he stepped into represent Jordan after Murphy Braun seemed to deliberately throw Jordan's trial while representing for the Kayden case. Crane would go on to win both the Boba murder trial and the appeals hearing for the Kayden murder trial. The results impressed Nettie and Jordan enough that he was made the formal legal counsel for employees of Garage Q and Steele Security. Crane later represented Nettie after she struck Officer Jerry Perkins with brass knuckles while she was trying to aid Mel and Eugene in rescuing Irwin Dundee from police custody. Though he warned Nettie that her then-current line of defense may have caused her to have herself declared legally crazy to have the charges removed. |
| Enemies - 2.0 |
|---|
| Nettie has made numerous enemies during her time in Los Santos and often jokes that she has "negative friends" as she believes she must always have more enemies than friends. Despite the theatrics, her sometimes callous and abrasive personality has caused her to antagonize some individuals to the point that a mutual hatred has developed.
Her most notable enemies include: Kayden's biological sister, Violet had an abrasive relationship with with Nettie long before she discovered she was Kayden's sister as she would often make highly suggestive passes at Nettie when she was still with her then-husband, Brett Biggledoinks. Whatever semblance of a friendship Violet had with Nettie vanished when Nettie began dating Jordan. Violet helped Kayden come up with plans to get Nettie fired from EMS on a handful of occasions and became openly hostile to when she continued her engagement with Jordan after Kayden was murdered. This rivalry would later come to a head when Violet attempted to murder Nettie on her wedding night by stabbing her in front of Jordan during their wedding reception. Nettie and Choi are both headstrong and frequently clashed over issues related to patient care while they worked together at Pillbox. Once Nettie's façade started to slip after she started dating Jordan, Choi regularly began calling Nettie out as being an awful person and the pair frequently didn't get along. Despite this, they still maintained a functioning work relationship and typically showed each other respect while on duty prior to Nettie's resignation. Choi is one of the few people in the city who Nettie openly fumes about hating and frequently refers to her as a "bitch" in casual conversation. The conflict between Nettie and Choi eventually resurfaced due to Choi's attempts stonewall efforts by Steele Security to acquire Garage T. Nettie and Buck used to have an amicable friendship until Choi pointed out the extent at which Nettie was lying on the stand for Jordan during the Jean v. Jordan Steele trials. Since then Buck has become openly hostile and distrustful of Nettie's character, going as far as saying he'd refuse to take trials where she's the plaintiff. While initially friends, they became hostile to each other after Nettie took several steps to sow discord between her and Jordan to accelerate their divorce. Since then they've formed a petty rivalry. Nettie attempted to lull Jerry into a marriage to get revenge on him for stealing her ex with her goal being to mentally torment him and get him disbarred. Jerry would later claim that Nettie was evil when he realized what she was doing after she left him for Jordan. Commonly known as the hobo lawyer, Solomon was a former employee of Garage Q who used to work closely with Jerry and Kayden in the Fall of 2019. In mid-December, Kayden enlisted Solomon's help in trying to find ways to get Nettie fired from EMS as revenge for her dating and becoming engaged to Jordan. |
| The 'Straight' Phases - 1.0 & 2.0 |
|---|
| Embittered by her lack of success while dating women, Nettie has gone through several 'straight phases' where she attempted to force herself to like men. Her reasoning for each phase varies dramatically: too many women vying for her attention, not enough women vying for her attention, making an ex jealous, legitimately attempting to court men who she finds passable, boredom, etc. This lead to her pursuing various men throughout Los Santos, much to the confusion of everyone who knows her as a lesbian.
Notable suitors have included: |
| Former EMS Coworkers - 2.0 |
|---|
| During her employment by EMS Nettie developed many lasting friendships and rivalries in the department that lasted well after many of her peers, and she herself, resigned.
Notable relationships included: One of Nettie's closest friends and mentors, Mari holds a special place in Nettie's life as one of her most influential friends. Nettie first met Mari while they were both working as volunteer EMS and their friendship eventually carried forward after they both became full-time medics. Despite Mari significantly outranking Nettie while they were medics, they generally treated each other as peers. Nettie later went out of her way to express a disinterest in taking on any command roles, though her work with Mari in helping pioneer a new hiring program for the department in Fall of 2019 saw command lean on her to take on an FTO position despite her reluctance. Nettie's desire to step down as an instructor eventually lead to Mari scrapping some of the paperwork requirements for FTO reports. Mari's resignation was the first domino in a series of events that lead to Nettie's eventual resignation from EMS. Formerly Bree Stone, Nettie and Bree's friendship quickly blossomed over their mutual love of teen dramas, musicals, and fiduciaries. During their down-time they frequently set out to record straight-to-DVD sequels for the Bring It On film franchise and claimed to have acquired the production rights. Despite this, they were never able to complete recording session as every actor that was hired to play the cheer coach would die under mysterious circumstances. In October of 2019, Nettie and Bree briefly disguised their appearances after Nettie accidentally committed manslaughter on the courthouse steps when she tazed a firefighter, causing him to cracked his skull on the stone stairs. Nettie then hide the body in some bushes while Bree called a fixer she knew from her past to clean things up. Fortunately no consequences came of this event, causing Nettie and Bree to agree that it'd be a skeleton they'd keep buried in the closet. Bree's former husband, and another close co-worker, Nettie frequently trained under Boba during the early portion of her career while she worked on her flight certification. Despite being good friends, there were occasionally periods of uneasiness between the two as Nettie didn't make it a secret that she was lusting after his wife to a degree. Things became awkward when Boba and Bree divorced and Boba fell into a deep depression. Despite this, Nettie's friendship with him eventually rebounded stronger than ever after he had mellowed out. In January 2020, Boba briefly acted as a legal advisor to Nettie on behalf of the department after she committed perjury during Jordan Steele's divorce trial. Boba's death in February, and the subsequent dishonesty among the medical staff on-shift at the time, ended up being a tremendous blow to Nettie's faith in the department. Following his death, Bree's subsequent resignation, and Mari's resignation earlier in the month, Nettie felt increasingly isolated in the workplace. The event arguably ended up being a major catalyst in her eventual resignation. Nettie's best friend and former protégé. Nettie first met Bailey while she was helping show the trainees the ropes as ab EMT. Despite initially developing a romantic interest in Bailey, she settled on just being friends because she believed Bailey was straight. Throughout their time together as medics they got up to various shenanigans and still hold each other in high regard long after Nettie's resignation from the department. The object of Nettie's spite for much of her early career as a medic. Nettie developed a bitter, and one-sided, rivalry with Amara after being rejected by Tessa Lamb. While quick to get over Tessa, Nettie held a steadfast grudge against the couple that would only worsen after they became engaged. Ironically, Amara was also the first medic to give Nettie a ride-along after her EMS application had been accepted, mere days after Tessa had told Nettie about the relationship. Nettie was also an openly harsh critic of the CRT Certification and believed it to be a band-aid for problems with patients that should be handled by the psychiatric department at Pillbox. This frequently put her at odds with Amara and other medics who she'd jokingly refer to as "the sensitive people" as the cert called for medics to provide emotional support for a patient after a crisis situation. Nettie initially celebrated when Amara died and began starting rumors that Tessa was responsible for her death, though she eventually stopped in order to avoid being forced into another HR meeting. A close friend and former roommate of Nettie, Sam moved in with Nettie shortly after she purchased her house on Imagination Court in the Vespucci Canals. Nettie and Sam eventually had a falling out after Nettie threw all of Sam's belongings in the street and had the locks changed. Nettie's callous attitude regarding the eviction put a strain on on their friendship and it never quite recovered. Shortly after evicting Sam, Nettie hired Kizzy Neveah to redecorate the house.
A childhood best friend of Khloe and another former medic, Nettie had something of a petty rivalry with Bambii during their time together as medics. Nettie frequently antagonized and bullied Bambii for her emotional vulnerability and the similarities to Khloe in her sense of style, cadence, and attitude. Nettie notably bummed heads with Bambie after she had Nettie pulled into HR meeting with command for bullying Bailey on twitter, not realizing that it had been a mock-roleplay session to teach Bailey the art of rejection. Months later they reconciled their differences after Bambii went on a leave of absence and mellowed out upon her return. |
| Former Police Coworkers - 1.0 |
|---|
| Despite rarely acknowledging her time in the department, Nettie made several close ties with her coworkers while she worked at the LSPD in 2017.
Many of these friendships carried forward when she returned to the city several years later. Notable officers were: Nettie's former fiance and one of her oldest friends in the city. Reid was once the Chief of Police and helped Nettie in establishing CID before the department was eventually passed off to more capable hands. Reid has since left that life behind, but he still frequently references Nettie's past in the LSPD as a point of encouragement when she tells him about the struggles in her life. Nettie's relationship with Reid became strained when he threatened to jump off of the Legion Square Bank if she didn't follow through with marrying him. Despite faking his death and later reconciling with Nettie, she would develop mild PTSD from the incident and has a strong aversion to her loved ones threatening to jumping off of buildings. Nettie's former best friend and a fellow officer. Nettie and Barry used to spend a considerable amount of time together getting up to various shenanigans. The current Sheriff of the Blaine County Sheriff's Office, Nettie has known Tribble for several years. Tribble often berates Nettie for her troublesome and eccentric behavior, but their banter seldom escalates past friendly ribbings. Another former coworker, Nettie and Frank have seldom interacted since she returned to the city, but it hasn't stopped her from periodically musing about catching up with him and several other officers during a reunion. During her time in EMS she found herself frequently clarifying to other medics that Frank wasn't angry while he was talking on comms, "It's just the way his voice sounds." Another close friend from her time as an officer. Kareem notably talked Nettie out of letting herself be emotionally blackmailed into marrying Reid while they were engaged. Reid would go on to fake his death, but Nettie would remain thankful to Kareem for encouraging her not to follow through. |
Hobbies[]
"Dammit Nettie, why can't you be normal? What ya need is to go get ya'self a hobby or somethin' instead of torturing these poor people with this nonsense." - Tribble
| Derby Racing |
|---|
| Nettie claimed to race derbies in her Michelli GT and frequently braged about the trophies that her car had won. Whether or not this is a lie is a uncertain but it hasn't stopped the car from impressing people when she lets them drive it. Jordan, Copperpot, and several others have all made note that it's a deceptively fast and well-handled car despite it's appearance.
In early 2021, the car was destroyed when a carport collapsed on it during a house fire. |
| Teeth Collecting |
|---|
| Nettie frequently collects teeth that have been knocked out of people so that she can have replacements handy due to the cavities she's gained from obsessively drinking coffee and Mountain Dew. Initially this habit of stealing teeth was exclusive to patients, so she would have a cover story, but in recent months she's become more brazen in pocketing them while off duty as well.
Several months later, Nettie would claim that she ended up using them as dental implants after Mountain Dew had rotted her teeth out. |
| Obsession with Teen Dramas |
|---|
| Nettie's affinity for teen dramas is well known among her peers in city. She religiously quotes Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill characters and frequently relates scenarios to events in various shows. Nettie's since become self aware of this reputation and frequently tries to pass off accidental transgressions as quotes or reenactments of scenes from Gossip Girl, as she knows that many of the people who she interacts with aren't familiar with the genre beyond their encounters with her. |
| Stalking |
|---|
| One of her lesser-known pastimes. Nettie has a tendency to develop unhealthy fixations on many of the women in her life and, though these obsessions are often fleeting in nature, they frequently go unnoticed beyond an occasional awkward exchange. Despite this, in one of the various backstories Nettie has told she heavily implied that she originally came to Los Santos seeking out a former crush after reading an affectionate note she had left in Nettie's high school yearbook. Nettie then implied that the woman suffered second and third degree burns after she lit her on fire for saying she didn't love her anymore.
Beyond the stories she's told Nettie has engaged in various activities that frequently cross the line when it comes to maintaining healthy relationships. This behavior has ranged from keeping notes about incidental details regarding the day to day life of some of her crushes, eavesdropping on private conversations, taking photos of people when they weren't paying attention, spying on crushes with binoculars, fantasizing about stealing a lock of hair during a role-play scenario, conspiring to break up a couple so she could have one of them to herself, fantasizing about people out loud after having just spoken to them, deliberately making someone uncomfortable in her presence, and attempting to get phone numbers of strangers via third parties. Most notably, Nettie's recently received a restraining order from her long-time celebrity crush, Sandra Bullock, for stalking her online. She's also begun stalking her ex girlfriend, Tracy Martell, and has attempted to kidnap her on multiple occasions. |
| Poetry Reading |
|---|
| Nettie has an affinity for poetry and has been known to read poems to people she cares about. While she has done this for several individuals, reading poetry is a habit that she reserves for people who she considers truly special. Earlier in her career as a medic she alluded to the notion that she may have practiced reading poetry to corpses in the morgue and would occasionally read death poems to cadavers and ICU patients as she transported them.
Notable poems that Nettie has read include:
