PATRONUS N/A
PERSONALITY
Self-Confident - [self-kon-fi-duhnt] - adjective
1. realistic confidence in one's own judgment, ability, power, etc.
2. excessive or inflated confidence in one's own judgment, ability, etc.
Natalia has always had a belief that she’s pretty much everything and more, although whether or not that belief is justified really depends on the situation. She knows she’s good looking, which she tends to use to her advantage as best she can, turning the charm on anyone she thinks it will work on. However, she also knows how strong she is, physically, and at throwing a crafty hex, so she's not afraid to use threats, if she thinks it’ll work better than charm. She can come across as arrogant and condescending, which he does often purposefully to people she wants to intimidate, namely her male peers. However, she will sometimes exaggerate her self-confidence for comic effect, mainly to impress the guys~.
Charming - [chahr-ming] - adjective
1. a power of pleasing or attracting, as through personality or beauty
Nat has a way with words, and has no scruples about using this to get exactly what she wants, be it as a means to an end, or just to keep whatever company she’s with entertained. She’s got the false laugh down to a fine art, and always knows when to throw in a tactical compliment or a well timed smile. That doesn’t, however, mean that all her reactions are false - she’s more than capable of laughing for real, and meaning what she says, it just has to be around exactly the right people.
Flippant - [flip-uhnt] - adjective
1. frivolously disrespectful, shallow, or lacking in seriousness; characterized by levity
One of Natalia’s most annoying traits, especially coupled with how arrogant she can be, is that she hardly ever takes anything seriously - not herself, nor anyone else. She’ll make light of most situations, partly as a defence mechanism, partly because she can’t be bothered to deal with whatever serious thing is happening to her. Though it can be amusing, given the right situation, many people, especially her teachers, have been known to berate her for it, but most of the time, she cant bring herself to be bothered to deal with that, either.
Catty - [kah-tee] - adjective
1. slyly malicious; bitchy
Long story short, Nat has a tendency to be, well, a bit of a bitch. She’s rather judgemental, and will assess people based on the way they look and the things they may or may not have done. However, it’s only around people who know who she really is that she’ll let this side out in full force, scrutinising the cut of the skirt whatshername is wearing, and gossiping about whether or not thingamibob and so-and-so have slept together yet. For the most part it only comes out as cutting remarks towards people she deems to not be worth his time.
Self-Pitying - [self-pit-ee-ing] - adjective
1. a self-indulgent attitude concerning one's own difficulties, hardships, etc.
Although a somewhat large part of Nat’s personality, her self pity is not something ahe’s especially renowned for, mainly because ahe tends to keep it to herself. There are times when she’ll feel like breaking down and crying, when she actually acknowledges the reality of how conflicting who she is and who she wishes she was are, but most of the time she forces herself not to, and pushes the thoughts to the back of her mind. However, it’s not a charade she’ll be able to keep up forever.
Hot-Headed - [hot-hed-id] - adjective
1. hot or fiery in spirit or temper; impetuous; rash
2. easily angered; quick to take offense
Natalia has always been somewhat easy to anger, even at the slightest of things. These days she tries to put on a calm face and laugh it off, which works most of the time, but if you press the right buttons it doesn’t take much for her to fly off the handle and have you pinned up against a wall, threatening to punch your lights off. She’s also one for making snap decisions, acing on impulse and not really thinking of the consequences. This has often lead to threats and charm having to be employed, so make sure whatever rash decision she makes stays well away from public knowledge.
PARENTS & OTHER FAMILY
Wand Oak, 12 inch, dragon heartstring
BROOM Firebolt
OTHER POSSESSIONS OR OTHER THINGS YOU WISH TO NOTE
HISTORY Anyone who’s ever laid eyes on Natalia, let alone actually spoke to her, can tell she comes from a very rich family. Her parents were Aldus and Vanessa Heathers - Vanessa was from an old, pureblood family, one of the few that had managed to remain fabulously wealthy after that little hoo-ha with the return of Voldemort that even afected the Canadian Wizarding World. Aldus’s wasn’t so lucky, having disappeared underground to avoid charges. Quite how he managed to reinstate himself in polite society, and exactly where his money comes from now no one is quite sure.
Born and raised in Halifax, Canda, Nat never wanted for any though throughout her childhood - clothes, money toys, her wish was her parents command. However, more important than this was the attention they showed her, being some of the few among their peers not to palm their children’s up bringing off on expensive nannies and tutors. Of course, Natalia, and sister, Selene, had the best education money could buy, but it wasn’t as a substitute for parental devotion. Vanessa, who’d never worked a day in her life, spent her day times caring for her children, and her evenings looking after her husband and throwing lavish dinner parties, while Aldus met with investors and chaired board meetings, then played two man quidditch with Natalia in the garden and read stories to his daughters at night. Both Nat and Selene grew up secure in the knowledge that this was what life should be like.
This went well for few years, with Nat’s ego growing day by day as she went to private primary school around children just as, or not quite as rich as her. She had the kind of healthy hatred for her younger sister all children do at that age, and hadn’t quite grown out of the stealing other children’s toys phase by the time she was ten - she just tended to be more subtle about it, stealing friends and reputations instead.
The move to London was a big blow on the family, because it was purely for Nat. The family never told her, she was diognosed with SPM Disorder and the family didn't no how to treat it, being a pure wizarding family. Moving closer to St. Mungos was the only option and the family thought Hogwarts was good enough for the kids.
Starting her first year at Hogwarts was one of the most amazing times of Nat’s life. Though most kids either thinking her an absolute ass, or getting close to her merely to reap the benefits. It didn’t matter to Natalie, she was perfectly happy with where she was, getting great grades from exasperated teachers, and feeling like she owned the place.
But it couldn’t last, and soon things were irreversibly turned on their head when second year came and MPD actually started to affect her life.
It took no longer than a few days before life was hell. She didn't understand, every other day, friends turned on her telling her she called them things and got upset at them, which she knew she didn't do.
In year three, things were completely upside down, nothing was right, Nat was supposed to be top of the school and Natalia didn't like it. She became edgy, almost unaproachable only the few trustworthy friends that had stayed around could see the real her. Her grades lowered and she lost sleep trying to figure out what was wrong with her.
Then came along Shane Kelseys, the cutest guy Nat had ever seen. She was exactly like her, he was pureblood, he was a 3rd year and best of all he was Slytherin. Things were almost normal, and she was back to her arrogant selfcentered self though none of her friends came back, she was still left with the loyal ones. But that was okay, Nat didn't need the others, if they didn't respect of like her, she didn't want them.
Nat still has her MPD, that is something that will never change. Now in fifth year, she has Shane Kelsey's attached to her hip and the greatest friends a Slytherin could ask for.
