history
Natalie was the only girl born to a house of 6 boys. She has four older brothers, and 2 younger ones. She is, as can be expected, her mother's favourite. But she is a constant disappointment to her father who seems to expect her to be like her brothers. She struggled to live up to his high expectations for a while, but then gave up on that entirely, focusing instead on being preened by her mother, because it made her feel better about herself. 

Natalie is short, but quirky, and always on the defensive. She is very used to having to deal with people who make fun of her height. She's quick on the uptake, and often has a comeback out of her mouth before there's even been an insult. She has a sharp mind for thinking outside the box, but not a great deal of patience for anything that requires factual knowledge. She doesn't take bullying well, and if she sees another student suffering from it she's quick to defend. She can hold her own in any duel, whether physical or magical, and though she can be quick to start them, she can more often be found in the library curled up with a good book.

Nat is a 5th year Slytherin, and a Chaser on the Slythein Quidditch Team. Her best subject is Transfiguration, and her worst is History of Magic. She has a 9" wand of oak and unicorn hair. Her boggart is various students ignoring her / mocking her because of her height, and her patronus is a jack rabbit. 

GAME: [info - insanejournal.com] Mistaken Pieces
Over the years, the wizarding world has returned to a state of peace that, on the surface, seems even better than the period between the first and second wizarding war. With the help of Hermione and others like her, pureblood prejudice is being written out of the laws of the Ministry, and fairer treatment is being given to magical beings and creatures. Slowly but surely, the pieces are beginning to fall into place, and a more ideal world is forming. The ideal is never quite possible, however. Amid the hard-working individuals who are putting their lives and world back together are those who don't want Harry Potter's ideal world. These are the pieces of the puzzle who live as those who they are not -- those who practice good citizenry but who in reality work behind the scenes to undermine all that has been built. Though the Ministry is far more competent than it has been in the past, these mistaken pieces of the puzzle are a serious threat. And they are growing in number.

The children of Harry Potter and the others of that time have never experienced the first-hand suspicion and fear that those around them could be working for a Dark Lord. Inter-House relations at Hogwarts are at an all-time high (with exceptions, of course), and the thought of anything worse than a harmless grudge are far from the children's minds. Until now. Hoping to establish stronger ties with the wizarding world in general, the Ministry once again instated the Tri-Wizard tournament last term. Despite initial reluctance over the tournament's safety record, things seemed to go smoothly as Beuxbaton's Champion won the day.

The European Quidditch Cup is set to be held in August and certain circles have been spreading rumors. Those who are against the Ministry are ready to act, and a meeting is to be held during the Cup to decide on the best course of action. With some of the most influential pureblood families stepping forward to stop what the wizarding world has been achieving, only time will tell whether the new and improved Ministry will stand or fall.
