Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear

**Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear** (ナタリア・ルツ・キムラスカ・ランバルディア *Nataria Rutsu Kimurasuka Ranbarudia*?) is the princess of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and one of the protagonists in *Tales of the Abyss*.

## Appearance and Personality

Natalia dresses in a sophisticated manner, demonstrating her grace and refinement. While in the castle, she wears an aqua blue dress and is adorned with fine jewelry. Outside the castle, Natalia dons an adventure-style outfit consisting of a blue and white top with loose, white sleeves that trail down into matching white gloves and blue bandannas around her wrists. The collar of her top is ruffled and fitted around her neck with an orange bandanna. She wears thigh-high white boots that extend down to brown, heeled boots. She has golden hair, which she keeps in place with a simple, brown headband, and carries a quiver for her arrows around her torso. During the epilogue, she wears a long, sky-blue and white dress. She wears white shoes and a black fabric on the remainder of her legs. She also wears a white headband on her head, as well as an orange choker.

Natalia maintains a calm and mature attitude, which stems from her royal upbringing. Although she may seem demanding and somewhat harsh, she cares deeply for her kingdom and its people, and is strongly devoted to them. Her promise with Asch to change her country so that "no one has to be poor" and that "war never happens" is just one example of her love for Kimlasca. She is sometimes among her people as well, rather than just hearing about them from the castle, and it is obvious the people of Kimlasca love her dearly in return.

When Natalia and Luke are declared impostors and sentenced to death, the civilians aid their escape by standing in the way of their pursuers, risking their lives in the process. To the people of Baticul, all that matters is that their princess, royal blood or not, is safe because of things she has done for them. She is a strong leader and passionate humanitarian. After the events of the Absorption Gate, she travels Auldrant to ensure that peace is kept between Malkuth and Kimlasca, as well as to help cities in need.

As a child, she had strong feelings for Asch and when he was replaced by Luke, she still retained those feelings believing Luke to be Asch. Even after realizing Luke was a clone, she still had a tough time seeing the two as separate people though she claimed she still loved Asch, which is implied to be reciprocated and she grows dependent on him for support. However, as the story continues and Asch dies, she grows to see Asch and Luke are independent people and decides she needed to move forward and make progress on her own, though it is implied she still retains her strong feelings for Asch.

## Fighting Style

Natalia is a Seventh Fonist and archer who trained at the **Lanvaldear School of Archery**, providing her with the skills to attack targets from a safe range. As a Seventh Fonist, she can heal and support her allies with spells similar to the abilities of Tear. Unlike Tear, however, Natalia focuses on single-target healing with artes like Heal and Cure, as well as Revive being a similar counterpart to Tear's Resurrection. This makes her spells more potent and effective for individual allies. The only way she can provide area-based healing is through the use of the FOF ChangesHealing Wind and Angel's Breath from the original artes Heal and Revive, respectively. She is also the only character who can learn Recover, allowing her to purge ailments without the use of an item or FOF Change.

Also, unlike other spellcasters, none of Natalia's fonic artes can be used offensively to damage enemies. Her spells primarily consist of support abilities that increase the statistics of her allies, such as Sharpness and Barrier. She also possesses unique, defense-altering artes that can affect an ally, Resist, or enemy, Scare Shot. Natalia is very capable at supporting a close-ranged ally. She can create arte chains that cause enemies to stagger and is able to hit several enemies at a time, all while maintaining a careful distance. Her arcane artes, Star Stroke, Star Embrace, and Gallant Barrage, all fire multiple arrows for an effective amount of damage. She also has the arte Cavalry, which prevents staggering for a short period, generally enough time for her to cast a spell without being interrupted.
