Natalie—sometimes called Nelly—is a quiet, blunt woman who rarely speaks unless she has something worth saying. She’s observant, often watching more than participating, with sharp eyes that make people assume she’s cold or annoyed. In reality she’s just reserved and a little nervous around others. She chain-smokes, keeps her thoughts close, and prefers calm conversation over loud crowds. Beneath the distant exterior, she’s thoughtful and surprisingly considerate in small, subtle ways.
