Natalia believes that appearances are a reflection of yourself and for that reason, she always make sure to look her best. She takes very good care of her body, having daily workouts and healthy meals. She wears only clothes she deems fashionable, habit coming from her old job as a model.

She has an ample wardrobe, filled with famous designer clothes. As of recently, she had to cut on her spending on clothes as she’s starting to run out of money.

Personality:
Cold and distant, Natalya doesn’t have any friends. She doesn’t trust people easily and doesn’t believe in friendship or love. Secretive, she keeps almost everything to herself. She has never told anyone about her past and doesn’t plan to ever do so. She doesn’t care about other people’s business and wishes they would act the same way toward her. She doesn’t need other people’s worry; she can perfectly well take care of herself. The only emotions you might see on Natalya’s face are annoyance or anger. She is not someone who is for open display of affections, in fact she hates it because it brings back memories she wants to forget.

Natalya enjoys peace and tranquility. It is when she’s alone that she feels more at ease and actually lets her protective walls down.

She also has a passion for photography. She likes her pictures to bring out many feelings. She also has lost of pictures from her childhood she keeps hidden in her closet.

Any other information:
She is fluent in Belarusian, Russian and English. She also knows a few words of various languages because of her travels in many different countries because her mother’s work, such as Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania to name a few.

History:
Natalya was born on August 25th 1989 in Minsk. She is the third and youngest child of a wealthy family. Her mother works for the Russian Embassy, which caused the family to move around a lot during Natalya’s childhood. Her father is a successful Belarusian business man. Because of their job, her parents were almost never home. This resulted in making the three children grow inseparable.

Years went by and nothing changed much. The three siblings were still attending prestigious private school and had special "high class" activities as her mother put it. For Natalya, it was ballet and figure skating. That was until one day, when Natalya was fourteen; they found a man, much younger than both her parents, in their house in company of Natalya’s mother.

The divorce tore the family apart. Her mother moved to Ukraine and kept custody of Natalya’s older sister, leaving Natalya and her brother alone with their broken father. Their father, although he was almost never present, had never done anything wrong to any of his children. But after his wife cheated on him, he began to change. He was drinking a lot more and he was borrowing money from lots of different, not all reliable, people.

To make things worse, after a few years her father started to be much more aggressive and one time after a particularly nasty day, he hit Natalya. When her brother found out, he swore he would protect her and found a way for them to leave. It was only five months later that her brother died. Their father was picking them up from school and he had been drinking. Her father passed on a red light and they were hit by another car. The impact had been on the side where her brother was and he died from his injuries. Natalya and her father were left with minor injuries. She was seventeen when it happened.

After the accident, Natalya left her house never wanting to go back again. She knew she had good looks, her mother always took pride in showing off her "magnificent refined youngest daughter" to everyone she met. With that, she was able to find herself a job as a model, quickly becoming one of the top models of the agency she worked for.

It all changed, eleven months ago, when she quitted her job and moved to England. She had finally achieved what she had dream all her life: freedom. She was able to get in the university in photography. When she left Belarus for England, she had stored enough money for a year or so.

Details of their powers:
Extreme Agility; it’s an ability Natalya cannot turn off. It increases her reflexes and movements’ speed.

Light control; with this power, Natalya can control the level of light in a room. Very much like the deluminator in the Harry Potter series, she can absorb the light emitted from a lamp or something similar and let it out when she wants it to.

RP Sample:
When she woke up this morning, Natalya knew exactly what she would do. She would regain control over her life. No longer would people tell what she should and should not do. She was tired of it and it would end today.

Natalya walked through the long empty halls, uninterested with the numerous posters of beautiful young models on the walls. Her steps echoed, breaking the silence in the building. She didn’t even take the time to knock on the door. She walked right through and headed to the main desk. He was talking on the phone, the back of his chair facing her. He was going on about some great deal he was able to make, most likely to try and make himself look better. Her blood started to boil in her veins. She didn’t even know how she managed to work with him for all these. He was such a self-centred greedy man.

Suddenly, Natalya smashed her fist on the desk, making creating a resounding noise. It captured the man she no longer consider her boss’s attention. He turned his chair around, ready to complain loudly to the person you had disrupted his important phone call. Seeing one of his most precious and refine models glaring at him with such disgust, he froze. He was about to speak when Natalya quickly cut him by simply saying "I quit." while looking straight in his eyes, her face empty of emotion.

Natalya turned around and walked to the door, ignoring his pitiful calls for her to come back and that he could fix whatever was wrong. She didn’t even glance his way when she slammed the door close. She smiled with satisfaction; she was finally free. This day definitely would be a good one...
