Natalie Teeger

Natalie Teeger is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Sharona Fleming) of the crime drama Monk and its multimedia franchise. She is the mother of Julie Teeger, the widow of the late Mitch Teeger, the sister of Jonathan Davenport, the daughter of Peggy and Robert Davenport, and the current wife of Steve Albright.
Natalie is a woman who lives in San Francisco, California. Her husband was killed in action and is raising her daughter, Julie and becomes Adrian Monk's new assistant after Sharona moves back to New Jersey and remarried her ex-husband. A difference between Natalie and Sharona is she always addresses Adrian as "Mr. Monk" instead of his first name.
==History==
Natalie Davenport was born to Robert and Margaret "Maggie" Davenport and the sister of Jonathan. In Mr. Monk is At Your Service, it is revealed that Natalie was often stalked and bothered by Paul Buchanan, even when she told him to "drop dead" and "No" every time he asked her out. To get back at her, Paul allegedly hired a thug to beat up her boyfriend. The next day at school, she found her boyfriend had scars and bruises on him. This just made Nat reaffirm her hatred towards Paul and her theory that he was a creep.
Later, Natalie eventually met her husband, Mitch Teeger and the two married. However, she chose to take his last name to distance herself from the name Davenport and their toothpaste empire. The couple had a daughter, Julie, who they named after Mitch's favorite aunt. Mitch also bought his daughter a fish, the last connection Julie had to her father, which Natalie replaced every year once the original fish, Henry, passed away. 
One day, Natalie's husband was drafted into the military. When her daughter was young, Natalie was informed that her husband was killed in action. However, to official records, her husband ran from the crash. She was unsure what the true story was but never told Julie the truth. As such, Natalie never told Julie the truth and said her father died a hero. Even after his death, Natalie kept his last name. Her marriage to Mitch caused some pain and distance with Natalie's parents, especially her mother.

==Trivia==
*Natalie appeared in 87 episodes as opposed to Sharona Fleming's 37 episodes.
*Natalie has a tattoo in a "discreet location."
*Natalie is often seen owning things that are way beyond her pay range.
*Natalie claims that she kept Mitch's surname after his death to avoid being associated with the Davenport Toothpaste Company.
*She changes vehicles quite frequently. From Season 3 to the first half of Season 5, she drives a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee. Midway through Season 5, she switches to a Buick Lucerne. In Season 6, she starts driving a 2006 Ford Escape. During the first half of Season 7, Natalie drives an Audi A3. She then drives a Nissan Sentra for three episodes. For the rest of the series, Natalie drives a Hyundai Genesis.
*Natalie is often seen wearing Christian Louboutin shoes, which is evident by their trademark red soles. Since they are ridiculously expensive, she might just wear knockoffs.
*Traylor Howard was pregnant during the filming of Season 5, so she spent several episodes hiding her stomach behind boxes, chairs, and other items in order to hide her pregnancy.
** In "Mr. Monk Is At Your Service," Natalie shows up to a dinner party with a pillow under her dress to fake a pregnancy in an effort to keep her ex-boyfriend off her trail, which in reality is Traylor Howard's actual stomach, and the only time it was fully visible during those few episodes.
