Nettie has her father's blond hair and blue eyes. Her eyebrows and lashes are slightly darker than her hair, but golden tipped which matches the natural highlights in her hair. Nettie's hair is thick and wavy, and she prefers to wear it in a high ponytail or braids. She hates being forced to stay still for someone to comb, brush and braid her hair for her. Nettie also loathes wearing dresses. 

Nettie is very bold, outgoing, and outspoken. Unlike her twin brother, Cody, she is far from shy. Like her Uncle Shade, Nettie seems to have a talent for finding and getting into trouble. Despite this predilection for getting into trouble, Nettie is very calm and cool-headed. She's also already exhibiting her uncle's extraordinary hand-eye coordination. Nettie's too little to handle a gun alone, but the adults around her have noted she hits what she aims at.

She prefers pants to dresses although she is learning that there are occasions when she has to don a dress. Nettie and Cody roughhouse with one another, but heaven forbid that someone else starts a tussle with one or the other because they will leap to one another's defense no matter the odds. Despite being a tomboy by nature, Nettie is very affectionate and quite happy to curl up with trusted adults for a nap, a story, or just to be cuddled.

William Cody Thornton (Cody, fraternal twin, DOB: February 11, 1870): The twins are very close and exhibit many of the uncanny senses where one another are concerned as other twins do. They almost have a general awareness of one another's location although if there's much distance involved, it'll be just a case of being able to point in what direction someone should look. They do have their own language, and it's not unusual to see them leaning forehead to forehead as if communicating directly mind-to-mind. They aren't, of course, but many adults would say otherwise. Nettie and Cody routinely start and finish one another's sentences.
