I would disagree with Wikipedia that Nancy is became more feminine and less assertive in the revisions. It's been a while since I read the originals and the revisions, but I just don't recall that. She is, however, more respectful of laws, authority in general, and the rights of suspects in the revisions.

She's also a lot more boring.
