Personality:
"I'm very popular, I guess..."
. Straightforward and honest, Natalia is very much a no-bullshit type of girl. She's thick skinned and her feelings don't get hurt easily, because she honestly just generally does not give a fuck. Although it's not impossible, it's very difficult to embarrass this happy and upbeat girl. She's extremely friendly, often willing to talk to just about anyone about just about anything. She doesn't really care about her image or what other people think of her, because she realized a long time ago that their opinions were out of her control. All she could do was what made her happy and the rest would just fall into place. She's an extreme optimist, and tries not to let the little things bother her. Natalia believes that everything happens for a reason and that things will work out exactly how they're supposed to. She had many great qualities about her, such as her endless confidence and great sense of humor. It's not often you'll see her without a smile. However, a lot of her strengths are also the source of her weaknesses. She always sees the good in people, so she can be very naive. She isn't tactful, often just coming out and saying whatever she wants to without giving it a though. She can be very compulsive, which tends to get her in a lot of trouble, and can never seem to stick to a plan. Truth be told, Natty is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Lots of things go right over her head, but she's learned to just play off these moments. She's happy enough being a straight C student. She doesn't really have any ambitions, she's going with the flow and trusting things will be okay. The young girl can be arrogant and high maintenance, thanks to the spoiled life she's lived .

. Very Forgetful .
Talents:
"Cheerleading counts, doesn't it?"
. Thanks to her mother signing her up for gymnastics and cheerleading at a young age, Natty is excellent at both. She's very loud and knows how to get people excited about something. Natalia is good at baking, and is also gifted at origami. She reads fast, though nothing she reads is ever retained unless she's interested in it. She's also great at improvising .
Fears:
"I don't fear much, but everyone has something they're afraid of."
. Though she refuses to acknowledge this fear, Natalia is very afraid that she is going to be a failure in life. She's also afraid of monkeys and most rodents. And, even though she knows they probably don't exist, ghosts .
Strengths:
"I'm just some dumb girl, there's not much to tell here."
. Natalia has never been one to shy away from public speaking or being the center of attention. She's not easily embarrassed and is able to laugh at her own mistakes. Physically, she's a lot stronger than most girls with her body type. She's extremely flexible and has a great deal of stamina, as well as an exceptionally high pain tolerance .
Weaknesses:
"Now here's something I have an answer for."
. Admittedly, Natalia does not always have the best judgement. She doesn't worry about consequences, she just acts. She get distracted easily, never able to focus on one thing at a time. She's not book smart, so she doesn't get historical references or understand math. Easily influenced, Natty often flocks to people who like to have fun .

"I've had a good life."
When Natalia's mother was in high school she wasn't very popular, and her mother vowed her children would not suffer the same fate. So, when her children were young she put them each into programs. Natalia's older sister, Taylor, was put into ballet and piano lessons, and her brother, Jackson, was signed up for football and baseball. Natalia picked cheerleading, and her mother chose to place her into Gymnastics for good measure, because to her the two went hand in hand. Natalia made lots of friends through each extra curricular activity, and even quite enjoyed them both. Her mother credits the sport to playing a big role in Natalia's self esteem.
Growing up Natalia was never afraid to talk to people. She made friends everywhere she went. She seemed to excel at everything that wasn't academic, and her parents were very proud of this. In the 4th grade her parents were approached by her teacher, who was concerned that Natalia needed extra help. It was suggested that she be put in a special class or that she get a teacher, but her parents refused to recognize a problem in their perfect little girl. Even when her 8th grade teacher approached them years later they refused to believe that Natalia needed extra help.
Instead of helping her where she struggled, her parents chose to encourage her where she excelled. They went to every cheerleading even, encouraged her to join clubs or have people over to make friends. Her parents believed if they could hone her social skills she could network her way into a good job, she didn't really need school.
Growing up Natalia had developed a strong bond with the boy who lived next door. She had charmed his mother, and so she was often one of the few people he was allowed to go outside and play with. They were the best of friends, but sometime between junior high and high school they drifted apart. She hadn't made a conscious decision to stop being his friend, and she even still smiles at him when she sees him outside his house. To her, the two just... drifted apart. She still maintains a good relationship with his mother, however, often making small talk whenever they run into each other.
In her Sophomore year of high school Natty met a boy name Daniel, and they instantly hit it off. It didn't take long for the two to start dating, and they've been together ever since. He was very sweet to her in the beginning, but lately Natalia has been noticing a few changes. He's overly friendly with other girls in their friend group, and sometimes he says hurtful things to her to tear her down. But, she's been with him so long and is too invested in the relationship. So, she's been choosing to ignore her doubts of him.
