Nancy as she appeared during the 2250s, as portrayed by the M-113 creature.
Nancy Crater was a female Human civilian who lived during the mid-23rd century.
In 2254, Nancy became romantically involved with Dr. McCoy; she even had a nickname for him, "Plum". Their relationship had broke off by 2256, but McCoy's feelings for Nancy remained unchanged for almost a decade.
Later, Nancy was married to Federation archaeologist Robert Crater. In 2261, the Craters arrived at planet M-113, where Professor Crater began a multiyear archaeological excavation of the ruins of an ancient and extinct civilization.
In 2265, Mrs. Crater was killed by the last of the M-113 creatures. Her husband buried her on a hill. He forgave the creature, who afterwards took on the appearance of his wife. (TOS: "The Man Trap")
