Natalya Pavlovich

## History

### Early Life

Natalya's conception and birth were a shock to both of her parents as well as her older sister's. At Thirty-Eight-Years old, her mother never expected to have anymore children after Natalya's older sister was born. Suffering through a long pregnancy that settled her with pre-eclampsia and diabetes, their mother was bedridden for most of her pregnancy.

On December 23rd, 1902, in the midst of a drastic winter snow-storm, their mother started what would be a long and arduous labor, with only Yelena, her oldest daughter, a nursemaid and her then-youngest-daughter {name} at her side. For nearly 30 hours, their mother struggled through labor, eventually giving birth to her final daughter in the early morning of Christmas Eve. She was named Natalya in honor of the holiday surrounding her birthday. Her sister, Yelena, who's own birthday passed the day before, suggested the name "Feodora" meaning gift in Russian.

As she grew up, due to her insurmountable number of siblings, her mother never tended to have time for her youngest Children, leaving Yelena, Nadia and Alina the ones who raised the little ones. Yelena always considered her to be a gift sent especially for her given their similar birthdays.

Being the youngest and most susceptible to bad influences, Yelena started to teach her little sister to fight from the age of nine. Her small stature proved to be somewhat beneficial for it made it easier for her to move swiftly between one move to the other. She also indulged herself in softer arts that were more widely accepted activities for the youngest daughter in a noble family, such as needlework, oil painting and flower arrangements. She tried to learn piano, but her small hands and fingers made playing difficult.

Her life was peaceful, easy for the majority. Even if her parents could not pay her much attention, her sisters made sure that she felt loved and protected.

Though her eldest sister Yelena married a man only a few years after she was born, she made certain that the marriage wouldn't take her far away from her siblings. Yelena was a constant staple in her life from the moment she was born.

It was not until she turned fifteen that everything started to change. The Russian Revolution had started only a little over a year prior, and those in favor of a new regime and form of government were making plans to take out all forms of power. On July 17th, 1819, in Yekaterinburg, the Romanov family were killed, and her family realized that they would be the next targeted.

Amid all this chaos, Yelena, who had never been away from her family for longer than a few days, vanished without a trace. Some of the family thought that she had just abandoned them to find a new life before it could be taken away. Yelena had been sought out by Aro, the leader of vampiric society and offered a deal- swear fealty to him and be given the power to save her family from certain death.

Only a few days after the Romanov execution, the Pavlovich family were taken captive and set to be publicly executed on the morning of July 24th, 1918.

Natalya knew only one emotion that day- fear. A terror that ran down to the bone. She'd always been somewhat faithful in the church, but fear of the unknown terrified her.

Before the blade could touch the neck of her second eldest sister, a woman appeared from the crowd.

## Physical Appearance

Standing at just under 5'2, Natalya has a slim figure that never quite developed the slender curves that were coveted by most women in her time, giving her a somewhat androgynous appearance when it comes to her figure alone. Her face, in contrast, is utterly feminine- with pale, strawberry blonde lashes, a slightly upturned nose and rosebud lips. As a human, her cheeks were constantly flushed and her eyes were a dark, stormy blue. She has thick, titian red hair that falls past her hips in thick waves. She often wears the front pieces of her hair braided and pulled back out of her face. An unfortunate aspect of her appearance is a seemingly sour look to her face when she is contemplative or concentrating.

## Personality and Traits

Contrary to what her perpetual RBF would cause some to believe, Natalya is easy the most cheerful and talkative out of all her sisters. She truly enjoys giving to others and making her family happy. She has an almost irritating aura of hope and goodness around her that unfortunately, started to fade slightly during her time away from her family, though its never completely extinguished. As a vampire she struggled a bit with drinking blood and alternated between humans and animals, giving her eyes an amber shade to them.

## Abilities

### Special Abilities

Her ability is directly related to her sister Yelena's power to drain energy from others. She can take the energy that her sister extracts and redirect it into other beings or forms of life, whether it means reviving those close to death or reviving dying landscapes.
