Normally, Natalie is a Requiem-style vampire, but if we go for something different....
Natalie Audet was a young woman interested in the occult and magic and all things forbidden and dark and spooky. She fell in with a "cult" of fellow college-age occult types, and what do you know? They actually managed to attract the attention of something horrible and otherworldly. It snatched her and several of the other group members up and hauled them away to a deep, dark corner of Arcadia. They liked to play with darkness, did they? Then they could dwell in it and serve it and become one with it. Her durance transformed her into a Darkling, of the Leechfinger kith.
Natalie isn't completely sure why or how she managed to escape from that darkness, and there's a part of her that wants to go back. The "Father" that she keeps skittishly referring to was her keeper, and the few moments of attention and praise it gave to her are much clearer memories than the deep darkness and the things she had to do to survive in it. She's a member of the Autumn court, albeit one who sticks to the fringes and keeps her distance for she has little trust for anyone. Few trust her in kind, because she seems a few steps away from going Loyalist on everyone and selling them all out, from the way she unsubtly pines for her keeper's attentions.
No fetch was left behind when Father snatched her and the others up. There was no time for it, and no real need. They were reported as missing persons that were tangled up in 'satanic rituals', became part of local urban legends, and were gone long enough that they were declared legally dead. She has no desire to go back to her old human life, because it pales in comparison to this new one that she's found herself in. Natalie is always Natalie, though her last name rotates depending on who or what she feels the most loyalty to, or that she derives the most security from. Her powers focus upon remaining unseen and pulling at the fears of others, although she's been learning how to not just siphon life from others but impart that life into someone else to heal them. Healing's a helpful thing and makes you wanted, in a freehold with as much fighting in it as hers. And if it gives her a way to be useful to that one Summer courtier who seems nearly as bad at properly human-ing as she is, well...
Natalie's mask is her regular appearance, if a little paler and a little more light-shy. Her mien is white as a sheet and sunken-eyed, with unnaturally long fingers and a constantly hungry look. She does filing and accounting work for one of the better-established Autumn courtiers, partially for the sake of earning her keep and partially to get her used to working for a living and properly engaging with others.
