Natalie

Natalie is a dappled light brown tabby she-cat with white chest fur; has seafoam-colored blue eyes. She has a lot of scars marked across her body, due to her past. After running through the fire tower, Natalie burned some of the fur off of her left hind paw and half of her face. She's blind in her right eye, and has several scars from falling down the stairs in the Fire Tower. Natalie also has a broken claw that hurts too much for her to unsheath, so she keeps it out. She's an Independent cat, roleplayed by Hazelholly.

## History

Natalie was an interesting case for an Independent cat. Independents were supposed to stay out of fights, or usually just try to stay out of them. Natalie stayed by herself, like most others who were Independent. However, unlike most of them, she loved the conflict- she wanted in on the fun, but she didn’t want to get targeted, not as an Independent. It’d be too risky, to her at least.

As time went on, Natalie began training herself to fight, mainly by watching bloody fights that took place between the Free cats and the City cats, calculating their moves and how they fought. This led to Natalie eventually picking off the numbers of both sides of the conflict one at a time, without feeling any remorse or sorrow. And Natalie kind of enjoyed it.

But how did she end up this way? Well, if she hadn't been taken from her family in the city by the plains cats, then she would've been a lot less violent and power hungry.

In the city, she was born to a small, peaceful family. She doesn't remember too much about them, but she does remember that they were some of the kindest city cats she knew, before she was stolen. During her time with the free cats, she was trained to fight and kill city cats. But then she left, in secret. She couldn't take the stress any more- she hated being a city cat, she hated being a free cat. So why not be an Independent cat? To this day, she wonders what would've happened and what she would've been like had she stayed with the free cats, stayed with her family, hadn't have become a murderer, etc.

In the end, she wanted more power, so when Sophia came to her, yeah, that’s exactly where her mind went to.

## Personality

Natalie is a cold and slightly insensitive she-cat. She’s not very social with other cats, and her past proves that point over and over. She can be quite short-tempered, and generally really crabby. Natalie genuinely just hates being around others. She also is slightly obsessed with the idea of death and illnesses. Natalie is also clever, but doesn’t show it too often.

There is actually a more sensitive side to Natalie than most would think, and questioning her morality really makes her think about her actions and how she's a horrible cat for committing them, and could potentially make her break down for a bit. Natalie tries to shrug it off, but she can only hold in her emotions for so long before they escape. While Natalie is a cold-hearted cat, she does still feel things like happiness, love, compassion, empathy, sympathy, anxiety, etc. However, due to her upbringing and her really bad life decisions later on, she has no idea on how to handle emotions that well, and is prone to snapping if bugged about it.

She does regret some of her actions as well. Key word: *Some*.
