Nana Boom Boom Von Strangle is Jorgen von Strangle's grandmother. She is the eldest-known member of the Von Strangle family.
Character[]
Nana Boom Boom runs a bakery in Fairy World, where her grandson Jorgen works as a "minimum-wage stooge". She is a skilled cook, famous for her explosive pies, and her chocolate brownies with cherries win every year's bake-off that determines which fairy species keeps the godchildren. Her recipe is very precious so she keeps it in a computer in a basement and if the camera there doesn't recognize her face, the vault will release weapons to hurt the intruder. She is also known for playing Explosive Bingo and doesn't like to be bothered while doing so.
While never explicitly stated, Nana's physique and demeanor could be taken to imply that she was one of the harder-edged Battle Fairies of ages past. She's also known to be as tough or more than Jorgen, being one of the few other people he views with subservience.
Description[]
Both physically and personality-wise, Nana Boom Boom is nearly identical to her grandson, Jorgen (even their voices are identical). The only physical difference between them is that Nana Boom Boom's considerably shorter than her grandson and has a slightly more feminine appearance, although Jorgen feels it's hard to believe that he and his Nana Boom Boom are related. She also wears the same combat boots as Jorgen, along with a gingham dress.
Background[]
Nana Boom Boom was first introduced in the episode, "Balance of Flour", where Timmy Turner and his fairies visited the Von Strangle family bakery, Strangle Buns. After Poof consumed all the brownies that were being withheld for the annual fairy vs anti-fairy contest, she worked along with Jorgen, Timmy and his fairies to recreate the recipe and ensure it did not fall into the hands of the Anti-fairies.
She appeared again in "Cosmo Rules" and revealed to Jorgen that Cosmo is Jorgen's first cousin. In that episode, it's also revealed that she enjoys playing Explosive Bingo, which Timmy is forced to play at the end of the episode as part of a punishment.
Trivia[]
- When Nana Boom Boom disappears she yells her surname and claps two explosive pies, resulting in an explosion that teleports her in or away.
- Nana Boom Boom is never directly referred to by the Von Strangle surname, leaving her specific relation to Jorgen unknown.
