General
Nell (Japanese: キャサリン Catherine) is an Orange Star CO. She is also the player's instructor in field training and assists the player in Campaign by giving hints and strategical advice. Her little sister Rachel takes Nell's place as the player's advisor in Advance Wars: Dual Strike She has no real weaknesses whatsoever. She attended military school with Grit and Max, and there is evidence that there was something of a love triangle between the three of them.
CO abilities
Her troops possess the increased Luck of 20%, which is quite high as most other COs have a Luck of 10%. Combine that with the Luck force rank you have a total of 30% luck and if you tag with Rachel Nell has 45% day-to-day luck, for any CO thats pretty scary!

Lucky Star - Increases Nell's Luck to 60%. All of her units also get a 10% boost in defence, and in Advance Wars: Dual Strike they also get 10% boost in offence. Interestingly, in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising her units are stated to damage multiple foes, though nothing of this sort ever actually happens.
Super CO power

Trivia
- There is evidence in Advance Wars that Grit and Nell had a relationship going on - before Grit left Orange Star for Blue Moon. There is also evidence that Max had feelings for her at this time too.
Max : OK, Grit! Now you're going to answer some questions! Why in blazes did you go over to Blue Moon?
Nell : Grit!
Max : Nell? What are you doing here?
Grit : Hey there, Nell. It's been a long time.
Nell : Max. Would you please leave us alone for a minute?
Max : Yeah... Sure...
Nell : You look well. I was worried.
Grit : Yeah, I'm doin' all right. How about you? You and Max getting along all right?
Nell : So that's the reason you left Orange Star. You sensed Max's feelings, and because he's your friend, you...
Grit : Whoa! Hold on, now. Let me set you straight. I did what I did 'cause that's who I am, darlin'. I go where I want to go, and stay where I want to stay. That's it.
Nell : Oh, I...
Grit : See you later, Nell. Take care.
Nell : Grit... Goodbye.
