### Natalie Adams: 1993 - 2007

Natalie grew up in a troubled home and experienced a childhood full of neglect, bordering on abuse. As she reached puberty, she recognized the neglect was not normal, but perceived that it was somehow her fault. As a result, Natalie felt she was not worthy of friends or being popular. Natalie strove to cure herself of her perceived defect and focused on her studies at school, in case her problem was intellectual or academic. She also worked out strenuously in case her problem was physical. The stress of trying to right a wrong that did not exist triggered her meta-gene.

### Natalie Adams: 2007 - 2014

As a metahuman, Natalie had a reason to believe she was special and this gave her enough perspective to realize she was not the problem. Natalie applied to entry in the Maple City Meta-Academy. Upon being accepted, she escaped from her home and began a new life, away from her parents.

Though the fresh start she sought did not come easily. Letting go of her old habits were not as easy as Natalie hoped. She was apprehensive about opening up to so many new people. Shutting down and shutting in, Natalie became a recluse, usually hiding in her dorm room.

Over the course of her first year, Natalie's roommate, Julie Powers, began to insist on Natalie joining her and her friends. As many of Julie's friends were also psychic, Natalie was always welcome. Slowly, over time, Natalie began to come out of her shell. However, there was also some drama...

Natalie's friends became interested in the meta-music scene and formed a band. Natalie began dating one of her friends - Scott Pilgrim. Before she knew it, Natalie was obsessing over Scott with every waking breath and plunged herself into music as a means to gain more of his admiration. The band, Kid Chameleon, and Scott became her life.

Having written a few solid songs for the band and having performed the songs in front of cheering crowds, Natalie became addicted to the adoration. As that sensation proved to be the only thing that gave her clarity from her fixation with Scott, Natalie sold off her cherished possessions so she could buy new clothes and make-up to make herself more desired - by the crowds and Scott alike. Only Scott did not care for her new look, but Natalie kept on that path.

Afraid of becoming irrelevant as graduation neared, Natalie pursued esoteric rituals and occult studies, seeking inspiration. Shortly after graduation, Natalie had a breakthrough during a drug-induced episode where she met an astral traveler named Todd Ingram. The relationship started off innocent enough. Todd mentored Natalie, guiding her down a path of metaphysical and creative discovery. At some point, the dynamic shifted into romance and the two had a prolonged psychic affair.

Wanting to embrace her new and "better" self, she told her friends to call her Envy. Though most friends saw this as a publicity ploy and obliged her request, it did not sit well with Scott. He suspected something was off and eventually a drunken Scott confronted Envy. To her credit, Envy was honest... brutally so, leaving Scott crying in the middle of the street.

Envy not only broke Scott, but also the band.

### Envy Adams: 2014 - Present

When Envy left Scott, she also left town and country behind. Moving to America with Stephanie Nordegraf, Envy tried to start a new band. While seeking a bassist, Todd Ingram turned up in the real world and displayed godlike skill with the bass guitar. Envy quickly pulled Todd into her musical pursuits. The two spent so much time together, collaborating and copulating, that they shut Stephanie out of the creative decisions and wrote music that was beyond Stephanie's skill level. As the band finally began to take shape, it was clear to Envy and Todd that Stephanie was not going to cut it and they went searching for a new drummer.

Weeks later, the Clash at Demonhead debuted at #1 in the charts.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Envy and Todd's relationship is not simply romance, it is also a symbiotic partnership where Todd uses his divine musical ability to create a subliminal frequency which amplifies Envy's psionic effect and even allows the effect to carry over onto their songs' recordings (though to a reduced effect). In turn, Todd enjoys worship from his rock star status.
