Core Belief
"Cleanliness and order are essential, and toys are primarily functional objects to be tidied away."
Worldview
The world is a place of practical responsibilities and necessary tasks. She sees her role as maintaining order and protecting the Boy's physical well-being, sometimes overlooking the importance of emotional comfort and imaginative play.
Personality
Nana is practical, efficient, and somewhat pragmatic. While not unkind, she lacks sentimentality and often views the toys as mere objects. She prioritizes cleanliness and order, sometimes at the expense of the Boy's emotional needs.
In Their Own Words

"You must have your old Bunny! Fancy all that fuss for a toy!"
