| [cs=3] Personality | ||
| [cs=3] Adorned in such feminine attire and ribbons, she’s the epitome of someone whose appearance contrasts her personality and whose inner workings show not on the exterior. Her pale face is dressed in a solemn, monotonous expression which masks all that lies beneath it, eyes of such amethyst hue regarding the world with apparent distaste, rosy lips stretching in rare smiles to only those that deserve it. She’s very reserved when it comes to expressing her emotions, especially in the face of strangers, most often keeping them all bottled up inside of her rather than showing at the surface - and with such a serious visage as this, it isn’t an understatement to say she can come off as intimidating. And while she doesn’t always want to come off as someone she’s not, she will often use these vibes to her advantage. Reserved and untrusting of strangers, she prefers steering clear of any contact or interaction with anyone, keeping them at bay with her unwelcoming and cold demeanor. In the chance that there is someone who sees past that barrier and does wish to be acquainted with her, she is very selective about who she trusts. Gaining her trust is not a simple feat, for her initial views on people are judgmental; she is wary of just about anyone excluded from her family circle and won’t like them from the start. She never was a social butterfly and never quite learned how to properly interact with people, and so any interaction she actually will engage in can often be rather short-lived and awkward. Without knowing very well how to start or contribute to conversations, she just tends to avoid them as a whole. This can make her seem rather timid and quiet, though she wouldn’t ever consider herself as shy. If she needs to approach someone or get something through to them, she won’t back down from it. She’s a very blunt person who doesn’t see consequence in her words or actions, and if there’s something on her mind, then she will often flat-out say it in the most blunt of possible ways, regardless of the effect it might have on people. She’s always skeptic of the intentions of other people, another factor which contributes to her hesitance to trust. It is a sense of paranoia, but she’s protective enough over her siblings that she’s wary someone might wish to harm them or speak to them in a way that would upset her. Even if she might think her mind is set on who she loves, she will often find a deep rooted fear of becoming attached to someone else. Just because she hasn’t given up on Ivan doesn’t mean she hasn’t noticed his fear of her all these years - it hurts, and she’s become afraid that the same might happen to anyone else she starts to like. Sometimes she can’t help but expect it out of other men. Despite such a stoic expression, there is a girl who is capable of being flustered and blushing underneath all that ice. Upon receiving compliments or affection of any sort, they will be quickly disregarded and thrown away, and that person will be accused of just saying that without really meaning their words.. though Natalia can’t help but hold onto the feeble hope that someone actually does think she’s pretty or something of that sort. If Ivan says she is, then she’ll believe it, but it comes as a surprise if someone else says so as well. And of course, flustered isn’t the only other emotion she can feel. Despite such a stoic expression, she most certainly isn’t incapable of feeling other emotions. Warmth, happiness, love and affection are emotions she’s very familiar with, she just isn’t always sure how exactly to express them the correct way. She’s gotten so used to being flat and without showing emotion that it’s strange for her to do otherwise, though at the same time she’ll think of the occasional rare smile or laugh as a rather nice change for her. If others tell her to try and smile and be happy more often, she doesn’t listen, for those are things people have to work to achieve from her. Although she’s the youngest of her siblings, she’s insistent on being protective over both of them, and showing them that she can be much more than just the baby sister. She’s watchful of who they interact with, only with intent to make sure that no one seems too likely to cause them harm. Occasionally in stretches of desperation, she only wants to prove to her siblings that she’s capable of being strong and standing up for them, even if it means caring more over their safety than her own. And that is the case more often than not. If Ivan or Katyusha happen to find a love interest, while she will be awfully jealous, she won’t put it upon herself to do anything extreme about it. If she knows this significant other person make her siblings happy, then she won’t take that happiness away from them. Perhaps a threat or two, but she’ll let them live their romantic lives as they wish. Jealousy is a burdening feeling that seems to be with her all the time, yet another of those that remain lingered in that hidden pool inside of her. Seeing a happy couple roaming the streets can have her envious, even the sight of women whom she finds to be much more beautiful than herself; but the only way she can deal with this jealousy is take it out on something else, really. Items lying in her path are almost always at risk of being destroyed if she’s in an upset or irritated mood, and she won’t refrain from injuring people if they happen to be in her way too. She’s actually a rather sensitive person who can be easily set off by insulting words. Even if something makes her upset or perhaps even on the verge of crying, she immediately evades this by turning that into anger; whether it’s at another person or herself, her temper is something that will easily flare. When she’s angry, she often is aware of what she’s doing, and aware of how hurtful her antics can be; but she often doesn’t care about the feelings of others if she’s meaning to crush them. Her threats can be brutal, and they aren’t always something she’ll back down from doing if someone pushes her far enough. She may be emotionally delicate, but there is a lot of physical strength harbored underneath that pale feminine appearance. As aforementioned, she’ll get this pent up release by taking it out on other things, and if she does have to resort to unwanted tears, she’ll make sure she’s in the presence of no one. She doesn’t go out and seek company to comfort her in times like these, but she won’t always reject it, either. There are indeed some fears present in her, though they’re another thing she doesn’t let show to anyone. She tries to make herself come off as fearless, with the worry that someone will think of her as weak if she shows such fear to anything. She’s often jeering at and scolding those who are easily frightened by things, insisting to them that they need to strengthen up - when it comes to anyone being upset, she isn’t very good at knowing how to console them. She’ll scold people for crying or doing anything that falls under her definition of a wimp. There are a lot of aspects and qualities of people that can irritate her, and her words can come off as rather cold and cruel when she’s speaking to such people. She doesn’t tolerate anyone who deliberately annoys her, even if they don’t actually mean to, and she won’t be afraid of causing actual physical harm to them if it means getting them to leave her alone. She can be picky about those who decide to befriend her, more likely to accept someone who’s strong enough to handle her brisk personality rather than someone who is afraid of their own shadow. She’s a very persistent woman who will put up a fight and do anything to get something she sets her mind on. A sore loser who doesn’t like to lose in such attempts, she certainly won’t bring giving up into consideration. She finds giving up a sign of weakness and so she will push all of her strength and will into something, even if it means causing damage to herself. It may seem at times that she just doesn’t know when to stop, and she certainly can come off as obsessive to someone.. but her intentions are not at all to put herself off as any such thing. She hates being referred to as insane or crazy, because she knows her efforts aren’t actually meant to scare someone or something away from her; she just wants that something to hold onto. She’s very patient in the sense that she will indeed wait her whole life for something, but in the case she might have competition up against her, that patience can quickly wear thin. She is a competitive person and won’t be gentle in dealing with any opponents, only wanting to point blank get rid of them rather than waste time playing games. She does have a strong sense of pride, after all, and she prefers to keep it high in place. When it comes to romance, there are very few who will see the affectionate side of the woman. She’s very loyal to companions and always puts their priorities over her own, wanting nothing but to see that they’re happy with her; and of course, so long as she’s certain they are happy, then she will be as well. She’s subtle when it comes to showing someone how she feels about them, often reaching rather ridiculous measures to get her message across - she can be rather cheesy in this sense, liking to express herself through means of love letters, gifts, flowers, teddy bears, etc. Romantic things are always a soft spot to her, and she’ll enjoy such activities as reading romance novels, reading about weddings, and looking through wedding catalogues. Being wed and starting a family has always been one of her dreams, as well as the whole cliché aspect of finding that one man or woman of her dreams. She’s always been surprisingly good with children, even though she can’t always figure out why they end up liking her. She can be strict with children if she needs to, but there’s always the chance of a more motherly slide slipping. She doesn’t often let this side of her show, afraid that someone will think of her as too girlish or mushy this way. But she can’t help herself being so star struck by these things. She’s very against being feminine, despite the dresses she always loves to wear - and she is indeed in love with fashion, always dressing up with ribbons and dresses of different designs, fabrics and colors. Despite her seeming inability to make friends, she’ll sometimes rather like having a friend who’s female in particular, because being around other females often makes her feel more in place. She may be hesitant at the start, but if another woman tries hard enough they can potentially persuade Natalia to let go of her more stiff exterior and actually let loose once in a while; allow herself to be, well, the girl she is at heart. She is intelligent and knows how to use her skills to her advantage. Her tongue is just as sharp as her skill with weaponry, namely knives, and she won’t be afraid to use this to get what she wants from somebody. Whenever she is actually meaning to make others afraid of her, she’ll use this intimidation as key to manipulate others into doing what she wants them to do for her. She can be quiet on her feet and therefore stealthy in her motives, having had a well amount of practice with climbing obstacles and sneaking around things throughout her life, and yes, she will often use this skill for stalking. But that always comes in handy. She very well knows she’s capable of feeling and can be a good person and companion at heart, she just has trouble expressing it to others; such a quiet person who always seems out of tune with what’s happening, and who seems to stick out amongst everyone else, but really she’s only waiting for something to change. A complex web of personality is what delineates this woman, bundled under a layer of ice strong at the surface yet fragile at the roots. | ||
Likes | Hates | Fears |
Flowers | She will enjoy the very sight of any, though among her particular favorites are flax and sunflowers. On occasion she may try to grow some of her own, though that was never really her specialty, and she more so enjoys keeping them in a vase in sight or in a bouquet in her hands. They are fragrant, calming in their way, and are easy to remember things by - and the fondness of flowers seems to be shared among her family. Knives | Her pride and joy, the knife that never leaves its scabbard most commonly attached to the side of her waist and visible from over her dress. She had first taken hold of one when it was much too large for her hands and hadn't quite grown as well acquainted with any other weapon; she focused solely on becoming experienced in using it. It is useful for threatening when needed and being possessed in defense, more often favored for its ways of doing so rather than actually being put to use. She couldn't bring herself to kill with it, though injuring and cutting are taken particular interest in when she perhaps needs to get revenge or protect someone else. As long as the blade is not too dulled or ruined. Misplacing it or having it taken off her person makes her feel terribly antsy and aggravated until she gets it back. Strawberries | Strawberries are her favorite food. She specially enjoys various berries in general, at that, especially when they are mixed or baked in with something else. It is most favorable when they are growing in patches nearby, easy to get access to whenever she would like and sprouting in bountiful amounts. Sweets | No one can help themselves having a sweet tooth. This applies specifically to pastries such as cookies and cakes, so long as she doesn't always have to try and bake them herself, as well as various confectioneries. So long as they are eaten a limited number of times, she is wary of her figure after all, they act as a sort of treat and alternate from time to time. Dark Colors | She doesn't approve of wearing colors so flashy to attract attention to her, and has grown used to and fond of darker shades throughout her life. Cloudy, dreary weather, and obtaining ribbons and outfits of darker blues and purples has gradually grown on her. She enjoys darker environments, drapery and decorations that match the tone of her attire throughout her rooms. Snow | The crisp, fluffy white of snow appeals to her in more ways than one. She is rather easily able to withstand the cold even if she does not particularly love it, and would prefer looking out a window to the falling and settled snow to standing among it - but either way, it is comforting. It offers a homely feeling that reminds her of her family and times spent together in the past, and when she does happen to spend time outside in the snow, with it will occasionally come a rare moment of leisure in playing with it. Dolls / Plushies | One skill she is fairly adept in is sewing, and with it she tends to make articles of clothing such as for the winter - though she enjoys making plush dolls more than anything else. She uses what time she has to make plushies that resemble people she loves or is close to, as a way to keep them close and think of them even if they really aren't there. Rather than carrying them around and letting anyone else knows she has them, she only keeps them in her room once they are made. Regular dolls aren't as easily obtained, but she adores them all the same, even if she is not open about it. Ice Skating | With snow there is ice, another aspect of winter she takes a liking to. She's had plenty of practice and enjoys taking the time to go skating, whether it is with company - depending on the person - or preferably on her own. In either case, it is another way she can enjoy herself despite harsh temperatures, a calming activity to take advantage of by forgetting everything else. Dance | More of a guilty pleasure than the rest, and certainly something she wouldn't want to do in front of an audience, or really anyone. She is enamored with waltz and ballroom dancing and takes interest in the event itself, balls that are lively with dancing and activity.. as long as she doesn't have to always participate. One-on-one dancing is a way for two to grow especially close, she feels, and while the number of dances she knows how to perform herself is limited, she also is well acquainted with ballet. Rock Music | Her preference to all other types of music - aside from classical - and in which her interest has grown since she was introduced. She likes to listen to nearly everything that harbors the melodic or rough sound of a guitar, as the majority of them have lyrics that can speak out to her. Ivan | Needless to say, she is head over heels with everything that has to do with her brother. His language and personality, the ways of his culture and his traditions. She had always wanted to be like him, and completely disregards the fact that they are siblings by blood, as well as anyone else's opinion on it. There is little that can waver her mind and it is perhaps the thing she is most persistent about, but she is wary for her brother and solely wants to keep him from getting hurt. She seems not to care what others might think about him, but is defensive either way, wanting her brother to be accepted by everyone and to find someone that can make him happy, even if it isn't herself. Katyusha | Her sister is just as precious to her, even if she disapproves of crybaby and weak behavior. She'd always looked up to her sister like a mother figure as well, giving her credit for most of the things Natalia is able to do today (sewing, baking, gardening) and simply another of the few people she will look up to and listen to, as the youngest of the family. Her siblings are the only two who can bring her to a genuine smile, and she is incredibly protective of both and would do just about anything for them. Fashion | When it comes to outfits, even if she likes darker shades of colors, she still likes to experiment in different styles of clothing and outfits as well. Though she is most often seen wearing a dress, even if it is a bland maid's dress (it was given to her by her brother, as were her ribbons, so it is all entirely special), she is not shy to other things so long as they are not a sort of bright pink or anything else too contrasting to her personality. As long as she is seen as attractive to those whose opinions matter. Countryside | The bustling of cities is not her forte. She likes large, expansive tracts of land like those she is used to, the quiet sides of land that are not burdened by excessive noise or crowding people. Spacious land makes for better roaming, a more simple style of living and simply somewhere she has grown too well adjusted to to want to change, somewhere where she is less likely to be bothered and more free of worries. Love/Romance | Simply put, she is all over the idea of romance, however cheesy the stories might be. Even if she isn't experienced in it herself, she relies on seeing the budding love of another couple or even a book or so - though is embarrassed if she has to ask for advice - to try and mimic on others to see if she will get the same result from her partner. And usually, it doesn't work out for her. Marriage | Natalia had always dreamed of getting married. She finds the idea precious, of two coming together in matrimony to devote their lives to one another, to never spread apart. She relies on marriage to give her the complete sense of belonging to someone, to be as close as she can possibly be, and to know that marriage means that she is apart of another person and they feel mutually about her. Horror | While romance is fancied, she is particularly interested in the darker side of things. Though she may not always intend to, she does enjoy terrifying and making people panic when the mood comes. Old legends and stories, modern books and films - it's nearly impossible for her to be frightened by them herself, and rather she likes to spread them onto others to see their reactions. Baking | She is not big on cooking, especially for others, though baking is something she will do in her own time; and what comes is usually the everyday pastry or so made with some of her favorite berries. She thinks of it as a slightly embarrassing thing to be known for doing, so doesn't let it reach the ears of others. Technology | She enjoys MP3 players in particular, as well as phones so that she can communicate with her siblings whenever and take pictures as she wishes. | Groups | Any general gathering of people in an area, be it open or closed. She doesn't like being in close proximity of strangers or really very many else, doesn't like being social or anyone being in her personal space... even if she doesn't exactly respect the personal space of br-- others. Compliments | Being complimented on anything does not conjure the positive reactions its giver may expect. Even if it is genuinely said, she is commonly lead to believe that compliments given to her are out of fear or simply said even though they don't mean it; and since she usually can't tell which one, she chooses not to accept them. She finds it hard to believe anyone else's opinion on herself and usually will become flustered by compliments and, on account of occasionally appreciating them though not quite being sure how to react, she will bewilderedly deny them. Even if she may not mean to do so herself. Physical Contact | Another aspect resulting in the cold shoulder, perhaps even worse. Whatever the gesture may be is most often responded to in the only extent of physical contact she prefers to give in return - shoving the other person away, hitting them, et cetera. Noise | Peace and quiet is always most welcomed as it is most suitable for being at rest and relaxation, focusing on thought and not being disturbed, of course. People that talk and babble away are simply the worst, the mere sound of the voice of someone she despises too much of a burden to have to listen to. She speaks in low and quiet tones, herself, but doesn't resist having to raise it to a higher octave if the need arises. Being Ignored | While she doesn't like too much attention being brought to her, going without acknowledgment when she needs it isn't any better at all. Even though someone of her demeanor might not usually go ignored anyway, she will do whatever she finds necessary to make herself noticed - most often in situations where she wants to get her opinion across or is simply being protective of another as usual, though going ignored makes one feel of lesser importance and like they aren't there at all. Being Bossed | She is young, but she hates when that is taken advantage of. Stubborn when it comes to being told what to do, she will either not do anything or do exactly opposite of what she is told, for as aforementioned, she only will enjoy doing anything for her two siblings. Disobedience | On the other hand, it is satisfying to see others obey to what she tells them to do, be it through manipulation or merely taking the advantage of doing so. She isn't at all a bossy person, but when the time comes, her antics are indeed taken advantage of and used to get her way with those who can't stand up for themselves or fight back. Girliness | While obviously being a woman, she prefers not to have to properly act like one. Things like bright girly colors, make-up, and shopping make her feel nauseous, though there are points where she will tolerate them. And usually that is when she is possibly trying to improve relations with another woman and make friends with them. After all, she'd be more comfortable bonding with a woman, even if it may not seem so - they can do things like .. talk about their brothers, dress up. Jewelry | She'd prefer not to have any holes put in her body, as well as not wearing any accessories beyond ribbons - necklaces and bracelets and those of the sort would only be worn if they were specially given to her as a gift. Lockets are perfect for holding a little memorable picture inside and wedding rings, of course, are key to a perfect marriage.. though other than those, she goes without wearing anything of the sort. Drinking | She has never tried drinking alcohol herself, but her eyes have seen enough of others drinking to know she wouldn't want to have to go through that herself. Her brother is a fairly heavy drinker and, drunk or not, it is enough to worry her what it does to him - she insists that her sister does not pick up drinking either, as well as having promised herself she wouldn't do so. Perhaps if she was really influenced to, for just one time, so long as he does not find herself with a bad habit forming. On the other hand, she hasn't tried smoking, either. Heat | She finds it hard to believe how anyone can possibly live in such hot lands all the time, for as cruel as her winter can be, she would still prefer to remain in her own cooler lands. Given her fondness of the snow and being used to her culture and climate, as well as those that surround - although summers can get excessively warm and hot - she is content with not being constantly underneath the sun and its warmer temperatures. Flirting | Tying in with compliments, she is especially paranoid of the fact that flirtations will simply need to nothing in the end, fearful of the possibility of getting lead on. When she has her mind set on someone else, attempts made by anyone else are immediately thrown down, and even if she doesn't have anyone, she is wary and usually does not take lightly to them. Those types that flirt with anyone around are especially despised, as she doesn't simply want to be another object to be toyed with until they move on to someone else. Weaklings | Someone she will grow attached to is someone who knows how to stick up for themselves, who doesn't let others walk all over them. She will endlessly tease those who go without such qualities and just about anyone who is easily teased and terrified to prove to them that she is likely more of a man than they will ever be. Crying | She follows the belief that crying is an act of weakness. It is something she would abhor to be seen doing in front of others - or in front of herself. She will tell herself she is stronger than that and force herself against tears even if she knows she is alone, though it isn't always possible to resist submitting to them. | Rejection | It is perhaps the coldest feeling she's ever experienced, and of course, she isn't a stranger to it. With her persistence she isn't one to give up on something when she's rejected, and no matter her struggle to keep on striving to achieve something she wants, she still fears the cold bite of rejection each time. She does put a lot into trying to reach goals, after all. Abandonment | As independent she is when it comes to everyone else, she's still dependent on the presence of family - and most of all, her family actually wanting her to be around. She'd be lost without either of them and often does everything she can to make sure they accept her; were they to do the opposite, she wouldn't know what to do with herself. Betrayal | Gaining her trust is something that's difficult to do; but if it happens, then she'll slowly become attached and rather dependent on that person.. so to shatter that trust will leave her both humiliated and broken, and back to being distant from people as she was in the beginning. Fire | Of course, small flames like lighters and candles won't send her fleeing, but she'll be wary of them. She's frightened of the risk of larger fires catching and spreading, given how easily they can destroy something or someone. Drowning | Simply put, she's never learned how to swim, so she tends to avoid large bodies of water. Humiliation | She still has her sense of pride that she doesn't like anyone else trying to ruin or jest at. Of course, it isn't often that people would dare to try poking fun at her, and even if her responses to such might be violent, she is capable of being rather embarrassed on the inside; and she doesn't ever want anyone to see that show on the outside. |

| [cs=3] History |
| [cs=3] The youngest and final of three siblings, Natalia Arlovskaya was born in Vitebsk, Belarus. She was the final piece of a family stressing to achieve diligence and strength out of the elder two, and Natalia was thrust right in the middle of it. Despite the gap of age, Natalia would grow to set further strain between the three with how greatly her personality differed from theirs, her habits melding around those of her mother. Vitebsk is a city close to the Russian border, large and as cold as the Eastern Slavic area is most often depicted. The Soviet Union had just recently fallen and economy was at a weak point, though Natalia never got to see much of the city, anyway. Natalia had always been a quiet, peculiar child. She was distant from other children and often stuck to entertaining herself at her own accord, rejecting any offers for company. She didn’t have any dreams or aspirations that most other young girls did, but her imagination was vast. She began to grow dazed over ideas involving love, starting at the toddler stage of her childhood; though at that age, of course, love was only a grown-up feeling that she didn’t know anything about. But she wanted to know what it feels like, like all those ancient Russian folk tales would paint out for her: Snegurochka was a snowy woman unable to love, with an icy heart destined to melt were she ever to fall in love. Tales like this always interested Natalia, but she wasn’t able to keep her priorities on just that. While the strict dexterity of her parents struck Katyusha sensitive, Natalia was akin to behaving like their mother insisted. She looked up to her mother, always admiring how tough of a woman she was in raising her children, and Natalia always knew she didn’t want to be what one would typically imagine a female to be; feminine. She wanted to be strong, strong and tough like her parents, and like her older brother. In her younger mindset, Natalia’s vulnerable mind was quick to look up to her mother and begin to pick up on how her mother wanted her to act. Though she wasn’t oblivious to how Ivan and Katyusha felt around their parents’ overbearing approaches, but Natalia didn’t want herself to fall victim to her fear. She forced herself not to be afraid of her parents’ antics, wanting to be the one who could prove herself a strong woman like her mother insisted. Natalia did care for Katyusha, of course, she looked up to her sister as well for being the oldest of her and Ivan.. but she could never quite figure out why Katyusha turned out that way. Whenever Natalia would fall victim to fear or being hurt in any other way, Ivan would be the first person she turned to. She looked up to her elder brother like any younger would, always admiring the man that their father was shaping him out to be. While she had intentionally been following the footsteps of her mother, part of her wanted to be like her brother; she took comfort in his words and everything he did for his sisters, and soon coming for him for comfort would become a regular occurrence. He was the only man aside from their father that she knew, since other boys were often too afraid to approach her or she simply didn’t allow them to befriend her.. inevitably, Natalia was becoming more attached to her brother than she should be. But in this situation, she didn’t know right from wrong. She wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong with falling in love with your brother, and she would stand up against anyone who tried to oppose her about it. Ivan was the prince charming figure Natalia read about in those romance books and knew she would always find for herself one day. Natalia didn’t realize why it was Ivan and Katyusha were wary of her, however. She didn’t always think of herself as a miniature image of their mother. As she grew into adolescence, Natalia began to grow aware of her own intimidating antics. She didn’t make any effort to change herself, however, but she never dreamed of using them against her siblings. She hated the fact that Ivan and Katya were wary of her, but she didn’t quite know what to do about, either. Her first course of action was to try and show Ivan that she was capable of being a good significant other for him; writing him things, gifting him things, pouring her heart out to him. And although it didn’t work, no matter what, Natalia knew her boundaries. She wouldn’t force Ivan into anything, she would simply never give up on him and give him time to possibly change his mind. So throughout the years, Natalia would wait, even if it is hopeless. Adolescence passed and her siblings were beginning to branch off into their own separate lives. Ivan had gone off to the Russian armed forces (which always had Natalia worried about the hazing conditions and their news-worthy effects of suicide on some members) and Katyusha had gained an interest in nursing. Natalia never knew what she wanted to do, herself, as she was still under her mother’s harsh drilling of good conduct for her daughter. She had grown distant enough from her father that she didn’t know how to react to his passing, though she was fretting enough over the fact she had grown so distant from her siblings as well. She had an immediate jump of fear that they would be leaving her behind, so along with going through all her years of high school she followed suit in moving to London where Ivan and Katyusha had gone to. She didn’t quite like it there, even if she didn’t mind the weather; it was such a bustling city, full of crowds and different people, easy to get lost in. Natalia never finished college, but she continued studies on her own terms. She took a liking to reading books; studying astronomy, psychology, several history books - and more leisurely, she got into reading romance, still, as well as horror and mystery books. She was very well aware of her siblings’ placement in the criminal side of the MI6, and though she didn’t join the MI6 directly, she wanted to do her best to help them out and keep them from danger. In cue with landing herself a job at one of London’s local libraries, she began to take on a much larger task. Selling information to those that opposed the agents, in support of her siblings. She didn’t hate the agents, no, but there wasn’t any chance of her choosing ordinary people over two people who actually mattered to her. She didn’t show much sympathy for either side in the city of London, nor its citizens, but she didn’t want to be useless to Ivan and Katyusha. Her residing in the library gifted her the quiet environment she desired - she’s able to think and work properly without anyone to bother her, aside from those needing help involving the books she always sorts in the library. She took on one of the diminutive names her mother language had given her, Natasha, though she always bristled when someone used it without her permission. Regardless, her dual lives are easily masked in the library where any other worker can easily take over for her, allowing her to slip into another room and work deals with any of the lawless who pass through. |
