In 1895, Nettie started her training as a Hunter; despite her clumsiness and dislike for hunting humans. In episode 8, Nettie implies that she has no immediate family, only distant cousins and aunts/uncles.

In 1895 upon attempting to catch fisherman off the coast of Boston, Nettie came across Theodore McDonald who was also seeking a merfolk. After talking to Theodore and singing to him, Zella and Tara aided her in attempting to catch Theodore. Though due to Theodore's widgae identity, the sailors were placed into a sleep and the mermaes were frightened away, despite Zella and Tara swimming away, Nettie kept her place unafraid. Nettie and Theodore talked; both realising their attractedness to each other, due to this connection Nettie promised to talk to her cousins to help Theodore in his investigation. Later on, Nettie found Theodore again and provided evidence for his investigation; before departing, Nettie asked him to return again.

In the series finale Theodore went to the Boston pier and looked into the ocean. After seeing a bright light, Nettie popped above. Nettie and Theodore both eventually met up at the shore when Nettie 'hopped' out of the water, turning into a human. Unable to walk and practically naked, Theodore placed his coat around Nettie before kissing her.
