Brief Description:Nat is an average build for a lioness. Her training has made her more muscular, though. She stands around 5'9". Her tail is long with the tip fluffy.
Usually, Nat can be found in simple clothing, though always in lighter colors. Mostly in light greys or very pale pastels for shirts. For pants, she'll wear simple black or beige trousers or shorts. Natalia never wears shoes. She prefers to feel the earth under her paws.
Accessories:She is never without her purple collar. It was a gift she splurged for and got herself after she completed her knight training. It's in the deep purple of the gem on her sword.
Her armor and her sword are her main ones.
The armor is the color of the Royal Family. Deep red with light grey trim and accents. On the right side of the chest plate, there is a golden insignia. This is a shield with various paw prints in a bright golden color. Nat's armor is always cleaned and kept in top shape.
Her sword sheath is the same deep red of her armor with the same grey trim and accents. The hilt is an elegantly carved silver feral lioness. Her front paws and head serve as the end of the hilt with a dark purple gem clasped in her jaws. Her body blends into the sword’s guard. The blade is long and black. It is a sturdy sword and thanks to her father's profession, is kept in top shape.

Personality:Natalia has never been one to stand around and do nothing. She likes to keep her mind and paws busy. She doesn’t take well to being told she can't do something. This is the drive that leads her to be one of the few female knights. From a young age, being a knight in the Royal Army was her dream. Her father kept her supplied with an arsenal of practice swords as she aged and always encouraged her to do her best. This made her always give everything her all. But has made it so she doesn't know when to give up. She will often push herself too hard to try and prove something. She isn't a very open lion unless its someone she is close to. But that takes time with her. A person has to slowly pick away her shell until they've proven they can hold her together and let her be herself. She never had a close relationship with her mother. Her mother wanted a daughter. Not a wanna-be son, at least that's the way her mother sees it. At every turn, her mother discouraged her dream of being a knight. And now that Nat has achieved that, they rarely speak.
History:Natalia was born to a decently well-off family. They were not the richest, but her father's family blacksmith business had been fueling the Royal Armies arsenal for many years, and the king paid handsomely for his services. This is how she discovered she wanted to be a knight. Watching them come and go in their armor and holding their swords high. It was also how she was able to achieve this dream. With her father in the heavy favor of many high up in the army, it was not difficult for her to earn a spot to prove herself through training. And she did. She now lives in a small house between her father's business and the castle. She visits her father as often as she can.
