I think it's Nancy's personality, for sure. She seems more fleshed out, and as you say: not just there to be a MILF.I think you'll really dig Alex once you know more about her. Not gonna lie, her backstory almost had me crying. Good shit
Luna is still probably my favorite so far, but I like all of the characters. And I think it does speak to the character's writing in this that it's one of the very few games I've played where I like the MILF just as much as the other girls. Every other one just has them come off as downright creepy... For some reason, Nancy isn't the same way. Maybe that's because it feels like she's around for more than just the mommy fetish.
Despite the initial setup being so much like the usual incest story (mother figure, older sister type, younger sister type, living in a house with an MC who has only just come back from somewhere) the characters are different. Penny isn't the bitchy older sister who will start to lust after the MC, Dalia isn't the naive younger sister, and Nancy has a personality separate from her MILF status. Those relationships generally happen through manipulation, with varying levels of creepiness.
Don't get me wrong. I can be in the mood for those manipulation style stories. I enjoy them as a fantasy. But they don't fit the vibe I'm getting from Eternum. This is why I was a little disappointed at the inclusion of the bathroom option with Dalia, and Nancy's walking in on the MC. But to be fair to Eternum, even those have a slightly different feel to the usual. Similar to the scene in Ripples where Jessica sees the MC's cock (which was one of the most adorable things I've seen; but also by the time that happens we already know that Jessica has more than sisterly feelings for the MC). So I may have been a little premature in judging them. And I opted for the good guy approach to the bathroom scene, so in my reality, that other scene never happened .
It's also in Eternum's favour that we are quickly introduced to other female characters (Luna, Alex) who have their own personalities and seem obviously destined to be more than side girls there to create lewd content while the main family (or family adjacent) characters take their time getting to the sex.
