Natalie

=History=

First days & moderator application
Natalie used to be a casemaker regular in AOMCC back in late 2019. She temporarily disappeared only to come back around the first days of 2020, then she applied in the 4th moderator applications and was selected amongst four other users to take part in MCC's Moderation.

Rice & the MCC Refugees
one day Rice Wholegrain was banned from MCC permanently and had started a notable career of ban evading. Rice spontaneously greeted Natalie a few days after the ban and Natalie, upon recognizing her friend, had sworn off to ultimately put all her efforts into helping Rice to lift the ban. In the subsequent weeks, Natalie firstly tries bringing up the idea of a possible unban, upon her plan failing Natalie decides to make a community petition to have people agree on unbanning Rice. As time went by, a recently banned Jonoro Kyoma and a blacklisted Quetzal formed the MCC Refugees, and as main enemy they had EKyonKun, who used to be a moderator and friends with Natalie. The MCC Refugees drama started rising, and throughout this Natalie was by EK's side of things, believing almost firmly that EK's doing was correct and the Refugees were just being irrational. Natalie requested Rice if she could work as an infiltrate in the Refugees, which she did. Natalie kept trying to comfort EK and support Rice as much as she could until she gathered enough material to ultimately prove that Rice Wholegrain was, indeed, good and that she had become more than worthy of an unban. After weeks of struggle for the duo Natalie and Rice, an unban vote was hosted and the verdict was "unbanned". The voting and verdict all happened the 13th March 2020, effectively Rice Wholegrain's successful official unblacklisting. With time, the Refugees came on terms to temporarily quiet down.

Quetzal's unban & the creation of HDF
despite calming down, the Refugees didn't stop their activity entirely. After a while of peace, the two sides, EK and Refugees, raged once more to each other. Quetzal was granted a temporary unban, but then an actual unban vote had been hosted soon after. Despite still not doing much, Natalie attempted to support EK, but also completely respected the order to keep Quetzal unbanned temporarily and even stayed by him as a "bodyguard". During the unban vote that was hosted afterwards, to choose wether or not to unban Quetzal, Natalie decided to refuse to vote due to the high pressure caused by the Mod team, which was split in half by this decision and she wished not to be bothered by the contrasting side. Despite the heated debates on why it would've seemed irrational to unban Quetzal, he was still unbanned. Natalie did not seem to care at first until she bitterly found out that due to this unban, her friend EK and his comrades had decided to part ways from MCC. She was very close to him at the time, so she was very upset by this discovery. Even if she was given the choice to replace MCC with HDF, Natalie decided to stay in MCC. To this day, Natalie still moderates in MCC and comes around regularly.

=Personality=

Natalie claimed to have mood swings often, and her character is based on her mood, although she has confirmed that sometimes it is merely an act to cope up with boredom. With time, Natalie's mood swings seemed to be less frequent. Because of those mood swings, it's hard to determine clearly her personality, but it's plain to see that she is caring for the people she considers close enough, most especially Rice. Natalie seems kind and caring, but she can quickly become brash and/or vulgar or quiet and depressed in a whim and seem like a completely distinct person. Natalie says she can hardly keep up with a conversation in group so she prefers quieter and less populated groups, which is why from time to time Natalie goes to a Private room or in The Mod Treehouse™, this still does not stop her from entering other rooms or frequent the more crowded rooms such as the Landing area (Lobby)

=Relationships=

Rice
Natalie has been friends with Rice for over a year. Natalie first saw Rice in lobby. She had a conversation with Rice and JM there, and Rice had been impressed to Natalie's mind ever since. Natalie said that she "saw the goodness" in Rice and always knew that Rice was not a bad person at all. During Rice's blacklisting, Natalie never gave up on trying to help Rice out and trusted her the most, despite Rice's infamous title as a blacklist. It is important to notice that redemption happens only if the one who's going through it truly wants to redeem themselves, so Rice's unban wasn't just Natalie's doing - it was the both's doing as they helped each other out, and the thought that it was some sort of group project with Rice makes Natalie happier. The two still keep in contact regularly and Natalie claims they are "bestest" friends, though at some rare occasions Natalie even said that Rice was like a sister.

Natalie likes to joke about Rice's usual "blankpost wall" and claims that it is one of Rice's most powerful skills that she wants to learn too.

During Refugees drama & prior to unblacklist
Initially, due to the Refugees drama, Natalie felt great distaste for Jonoro, and the feeling was probably reciprocated. Natalie used to be friends with EK, and because Jonoro attempted to harass EK, Natalie was often looking down to him. When EK left MCC, the Refugees' activity against MCC decreased exponentially, thus ultimately ending the Refugees drama once and for all. Natalie and Jonoro mostly interacted through the Discord server of the Refugees, as she was invited there by Rice. From there on, Natalie's distaste turned to indifference, though she still held the regret of seeing EK and Kenney leave MCC. Some months after, the moderators held a vote wether or not to unban Jonoro eventually, which Natalie agreed for an unban, given that she did not hate Jonoro anymore and that Jonoro did not do anything to her directly.

After unban & during MCC-HDF drama
After Jonoro's unban, Natalie and Jonoro did not interact with each other much. Natalie did find Jonoro interesting by then, but she barely got the chance to meet him. With time, the two started encountering each other more often, but their conversations barely lasted a minute if JM was not in the same room as them, discussing with the both.

Post MCC-HDF drama
Natalie and Jonoro started talking a whole lot more since the effective end of the MCC-HDF drama. Natalie started to get to know Jonoro better and started joining Private rooms more often, especially if Jonoro or Icy were there. Natalie's initial disliking for Jonoro seems to have disappeared entirely, and Natalie started getting more interested into Jonoro. Natalie and him have started getting along well, even interact to each other for hours nonstop, with Jonoro telling her about his family life or talk about his interest into the Steins;Gate or Steins;Gate Zero series or talk about his hobbies and his experiences with Vents as Natalie curiously listens and asks questions. Sometimes, Jonoro is prone to tease Natalie, much to her annoyance. She often responds to his teasing flustered, but sometimes she plays along with it shortly, only to regret it a few seconds after. Despite those playful events, the two can be very serious and sustain and support each other, though Natalie feels like she should do a bit more.
