Name: Natalie
Nickname: Nat
How Old They Look: 10-year-old child
Real Age: 25
Gender: female
Species: Drekavac (spirit of a dead unbaptized child)

…The Me You See…

Eyes: blue, turquoise after screaming
Hair: reaches her waist, light brown
Skin: grayish
Height: human form - 4'2"; true form - 3'4"
Weight: 149.6 lbs (note: that is her true form weight. It doesn't change with her forms)
Appearance:
Natalie's true form is similar to an animal. However, she is usually seen in her human shape. The thing is, Natalie doesn't like the form she feels most natural in and spends as much of the time as possible looking like a child.

In her human form, Natalie looks same as she looked on the day of her death - glassy blue eyes, lifeless grayish skin and dirty, dry hair. Her body is way too skinny and her limbs are way too thin and seem way too long for her small body. In short, Natalie looks like a child who died because of tuberculosis.

However, in her true form, Natalie seems to be much healthier. In this form, she is forced to walk on four legs. Her height in shoulders while standing still is 3'4". She has head similar to that of a dog, with long muzzle and sharp teeth. Her ears are short and pointed. Her front legs are similar to those of a fox, thin and gracious, while her hind legs are, compared to her body, huge and extremely strong. Her tail is very thick and quite long. Natalie's fur in this form is long and she often steps on it. It is brown, just like her human hair, but with reddish shade.

…The Me You Want To Know…

Personality:
It is believed that drekavci are malicious spirits. Truth to be said, many of them are evil. Most of these no longer have their human shape, though. However, those who still hang on onto their childish innocence are able to retrieve their human form.

Natalie is slowly losing to the depression and malice that she's been fighting for fifteen years now. She used not to like hurting people, but with each passing day she becomes more and more sadistic. However, she still hasn't fallen low enough to attack humans.

Natalie still has a mind of a child. For her, world is black and white. There are good people and there are bad people. There is nothing in between for her. However, her senses of justice, good and evil are a bit twisted. On the other hand, Natalie is quite naive and easily deceived into doing what she thought of as wrong.

She's not a person who will give you a hand if you need it... Unless she needs you for some reason. Unless you are going to die on that spot, you can expect to see her just standing or sitting next to you and watching...

History:
Natalie was born as an illegitimate child of a young woman who happened to love a married man. As such, priests rejected to baptize the girl who was born here. However, this never swayed her mother from giving up on her.

It was, one could say, normal childhood that Natalie led. Some parents didn't allow their children to go near her, but some children didn't care what their parents said. However, at the age of ten Natalie got tuberculosis. It didn't take long before the girl died.

She was buried outside the cemetery, as the priests rejected the idea of an unbaptized child being buried at the same place as the baptized people were.

Natalie woke up in her coffin and didn't have room... She was also extremely hungry. She felt that there is something in this tinny space that she could feed on and she just followed her instincts. It was the lack of oxygen that made her get out of the warm casket.

When she was finally in the outside world, it was revenge that led her to those priests who treated her as a monster just because her parents weren't married to each other.

With the coming of the dawn, Natalie, once again following her instinct, made a burrow for herself in the forest. Unable to sleep, she thought of what she did that night and realized that she had to control herself. It took her three years until she was able to contain herself and regain her human shape. Even though she didn't know what she was, she wanted to make sure she's not evil.

For next twelve years her life seemed to be same every day. She would go to the town while in her human form, trying to find someone who might help her find her mother (who moved away after Natalie's death) or feeding on whichever animal she hunted down. The nights when she screamed on the roofs of the houses had not been rare, as she felt the pain of death as if she was dying all over again.

In her true form, Natalie would hide in the forest, not wanting anyone to see her as a monster she believes she is. It wasn't long before people started fearing her... They didn't know her name or specie... Just like Natalie, many of them saw a monster.

Magic:
Natalie has ability to switch between her true form and what she looked like before she died. However, her human-looking form is not stable and Natalie can hold on it for only about two hours. After that, she needs to be in her true form for around five hours.

She can also predict death that is going to happen in her nearby surrounding in next twenty-four hours... She never knows whose death she feels, or how will someone die. Natalie only feels pain when there is going to be death in the area around her

Other Facts:
Natalie's already dead. And dead cannot be killed. In order to move on, Natalie has to find her peace. Unless you can get her one, make sure to chase her away from yourself. She's afraid of dogs and light.

She feeds on animals, usually those that probably won't hurt her. Her favorite food is flesh of goats. Also, her first feeding after death was on her own dead body.

Even in her true form, Natalie is capable of talking like a human.

Humans have piercing screams, but Natalie's shriek is more piercing, louder and longer than theirs. It's not rare that humans who happen to be close enough to her when she screams lose their hearing for a shorter time after she's done with her shriek. And she screams a lot. She cries over those who are going to die, she cries because of the pain she feels when she steps on her fur... or simply out of despair for not being able to move on to next world.
