Information and Characteristics

Natasa has an outgoing personality, although she often comes off and rude and narrow-minded. During the beginning of the plot, Natasa is not afraid to express herself and frequently converses with other characters. Her personality makes a drastic change after the Southern Mountain raid, as she is exposed to the death of Mark Kormikah and the corruption of Simon Pheonicus. For much of the plot thereon, she speaks very little and hides her emotion.

Plot Significance
Mercenary Ambush - When a dozen mercenaries ambush Veron, Lady Callia IV, and Sir Callia, Natasa and Simon Pheonicus intervene. They manage to kill off all of the mercenaries, causing Veron to take interest in the two and inviting them to the Royal Banquet.

Southern Mountain Raid - As Veron's army engages Malek's corrupts, Natasa is the first to spread word of the Chimera flying towards the battlefield.

Battle at Sifvlcrag - Natasa is tasked with separating herself from the main battlefield, so she can get a direct line of fire onto Malek, who is perched on a ridge. Afraid she will miss, she approaches as close as she can, before taking her shot. She strikes Malek in the thigh with no effect, causing her to unsheathe her knife and charge at Malek in a moment of anger. Malek overpowers her but she manages to stab him repeatedly in the abdomen, fending him off.
