Welcome to Gaia! ::

Virtues:

Patient As a teacher, specifically one that works with kids as opposed to college students, it is important for her to have vast amount of patience with her students. To not get frustrated and to try her best to understand where they are coming from or where their struggles lay. It is her goal through patience and understanding to help nurture a love for learning or at the very least creativity. Should anyone ask, she is more than willing to set aside however much time is needed to talk though their troubles in a calm, understanding and supportive manner.

Encouraging Natalie is the type of person that always likes to see the best in people, to nurture their creativity and to see them succeed. If it isn't apparent by now students and community are top priority for her and she will do nearly anything to help someone who is struggling with something and help them push through their road block just to see them succeed. Encouraging shows in the way she calmly talks to a person to holding their hand (figuratively) to cheering them on (literally and figuratively) When it comes down to it, Natalie is the support needed to keep a person from falling, she will always be there.

Generous Natalie's generosity shines most brightly when it comes to the after school programs investing time and money to provide kids, teens and young adults with an opportunity to grow either independently or in their community. She always does her best to make herself available to the students, her co-workers, and friends alike as it is her top priority to be the support for others and to help them however she is able to.

Flaws:

Goes on tangents Something a few of her students have picked up on in the past is that Natalie has a tendency to go on tangents. If you ask the right question or touch down on the right topic she can go on and on with regards to the subject. Frequently she has those moments where one thing reminds her of another thing which reminds her of another thing that has nothing to do with the first thing but somewhere along the way from A to B to C it makes sense. Depending on the situation, others tend to perceive her tangents as being disinterested in the current topic which frequently frustrates people especially if they just can't keep up with where she's going or what's the point. ("Where are you going with this?" "What's the point?" etc)

Day dreamer On one hand this means she is quite creative on the other it also means it takes a few attempts to get her attention. Just because she's looking at you, unless she verbally responds chances are you don't have her attention. She's typically really good at keeping this in check while she is at work and in the classroom, but on test days when the class is quiet she is more than likely day dreaming about something. She is normally fairly good at staying focused, but if given enough time to allow her mind to wander, it is difficult to pull her out of these fantasies to get her attention which means she does miss part of what you just said till she 'snaps out of it'. This tends to irk people, especially those that don't like to repeat themselves.

Persistent Sometimes her encouragement goes a bit too far when she starts checking up on a person to make sure everything is okay, constantly reminding them that 'I'm here if you need someone to talk to'. There are times when her persistent nature takes things too far when gathering information, she is often perceived as a busy body. Despite the good intent behind her questioning and following up with someone, it is quite annoying to most.

Salar de Uyuni is a world shrouded in mystery where there is more there than meets the eye, or rather in this case doesn't meet your eye. It is what you don't see that should make you wary.

When the weather is clear and water has dried up, the ground shimmers like tiny pulverized diamonds which in reality are salt crystals, though it is ill advised to actually try to consume it. In essence it appears to be a flat desert as far as the eye can see with low winds and mild temperature.

However, once the weather begins to change and sky begins to darken, the rain starts to fall turning the shimmering white surface into something far more wondrous. When the clouds run dry and rain stops disturbing the layer of water that coats the surface, the ground is so smooth that it becomes a giant mirror that perfectly reflects the sky above in a way that makes it seem as if you are floating in the clouds.

Just keep in mind that nothing is ever perfect and that while staring in amazement at the sight ahead, something significantly important is being overlooked. There is more to this wonder than meets the eye, you just need to know what to look for.




Not much is known about the Knight, Salar de Uyuni, other than her existence appears to be more than simply being a follower of Cosmos. It is a safe assumption that she is a guardian of something of great importance. But the secret of what that something is has been kept a secret for so long many have wondered if she is just an idle traveler and has forgotten her role or task.

For Natalie, each year has been a repeat of the previous one. Life has become fairly routine with the only main change being who her students will be each year and what recipe she will teach students that attend her after school cooking class. Things in Destiny City remain in disarray as per usual and until now she has been fortunate enough to have been able to avoid any issues.

--2018-- Things will begin to change and become more complicated once she awakens and learns what became of her past and what she must do to fix it.
