Synopsis
Nancy was once married to Hiroaki Ishida, with whom she had two boys, Matt and T.K. However, the two divorced when the children were still young, with Hiroaki retaining custody of Matt while Nancy retained custody of T.K. Since the divorce she and Matt maintained little contact which caused an awkward relationship to develop between the pair of them. Matt is especially cold and is shown to shun her when she greets him warmly in episode 39. This may be due to Matt feeling angry and blaming her for the divorce that split up the family, or perhaps simply because he didn't want to betray his father who he is especially close too.

Nancy works as a journalist and after her and Hiroaki's divorce she moved away to Sangenjaya, taking a young T.K. with her. During the Myotismon saga she and T.K. watch the events that are happening in Oikawa unfold on television from their apartment. T.K. is determined to go to Oikawa and help his friends fight and Nancy agrees to take him there. When the children return to the digital world in episode 39 she is shown to be particularly upset at having to say goodbye to her two sons. She is reluctant to let T.K. leave but allowed it after being encouraged by her ex-husband to let their sons go and fight.

During the final battle Apocalymon she is seen with the rest of the Digi-Destined's families watching on from Earth supporting them. She is shown to be holding hands with Hiroaki at this point, hinting that there is perhaps still some feelings of love between them.

By the time of Digimon Adventure 02 she and T.K. have moved back to Oikawa and she appears to have a much better relationship with Matt.
