personality
ever since she was a kid, nat has always been a very social and forward girl--something that came in handy from moving so much. she's a very loyal and caring friend, who likes making sure that everyone is doing okay. she's always been very independent, and though she has pretty much always known what she wanted out of life, though settling on a career path was way harder than she ever anticipated. she's never been a big fan of verbal confrontations, so unless it's something she feels strongly about she will just keep her feelings to himself. however, even as a kid, she didn't hesitate to jump in and protect her siblings against bullies or getting into fights if it was for something she believed in. growing up with a dad in the military meant that they moved around a lot. for some, this might have quenched their desire to travel, but it only made her wanderlust even bigger. she's a very loyal and loving friend, so once you've managed to squeeze yourself into her life you're there for good. there's nothing, with the exception of crime, that she wouldn't do for her family and friends.

apartment

misc facts

She is quite social and seems to be able to be friends with basically everyone she meets. She likes to include everyone and hates it when someone feels left out.

she likes to read, and read a lot she does. She especially enjoys trashy romance novels (read: Barbara Cartland). though she prefers buying the books she wants to read, she usually gets them in e-book format as that's easier to take with her whenever she decides to move on.

she likes to dance, and she's actually pretty good at it too. She used to take ballet lessons when she was younger. Now though, she only dances for fun when she's out with her friends.

Considers herself a "girly girl" and isn't ashamed of it. She loves fashion/makeup, cheesy pop music, and having ladies night with her girl friends. Spends way more time in "retail therapy" than what her wallet can actually afford.

out of everyone in her family, her brother jon is the one she feels closest to. she's fiercely protective of him, which might be due to their parents divorce when they were teenagers and nat felt like she had to step up a bit in order to keep him from getting hurt.

she's spent a year after high school backpacking in south america. her parents were not thrilled by that, but nat has always been stubborn and she did not appreciate anyone telling her that she couldn't do it. a couple of years later she spent about a year in backpacking around europe too, but ended up in london for close to six months before she decided it was time to head back home to the states.

she believes in love at first sight and is actually quite the romantic, though she’s not much for admitting that, as she’s afraid of getting hurt.

grew up with a dad in the military and spent most of her childhood moving from military base to military base, never staying in the same place for long.
