The Details

Hair Color: Dark Brown to black
Eye Color: Dark brown
Any Piercings? Ears
Any Tattoos? The formula for THC on her upper thigh and the symbol for the Stone of Wisdom on her lower back
Any Scars? Nope.
General Appearance: Natalie is a short (5’3), skinny brunette with soulful brown eyes and a very small bone structure. One thing she really likes about herself is that, when she wants, she can look like Audrey Hepburn with little to no effort on her part. However, she doesn’t do it often because that’s just no fun. Why look like someone else, no matter how hot she is, when looking like herself is so much better? Instead, Natalie tends to style her hair in different ways to her heart’s content based on her mood. Sometimes she straightens it. Sometimes she curls it. Sometimes she feels impatient and chops it all off. She hasn’t cut it since she started working at Hammel so maybe the school is having a positive effect on her.

Natalie does not like skirts typically. They get in her way when running. However, she does like the color red. What’s this mean? Well, even though she can run faster than the eye can track her, she’s made herself easier to track by her choice of clothing, though that doesn’t really matter; it does make things much more fun to her. When it comes to pants, Natalie has never felt comfortable in denim. She would much rather wear more comfortable clothing like cotton that isn’t as stiff. She is also rather fond of some polymers, but not polyesters unless the look of it is hidden in a blend. Natalie usually doesn’t wear high heels for obvious reasons, but she has taught herself how to run in those and not hurt herself too badly.

Natalie’s also quite fun of white lab coats. Natty also likes goggles and lab glasses a lot.
Personality: Natalie has spent a lot of her life away from people. This creates two problems. First of all, she doesn’t quite understand people. Two, she’s very good at doing what she does know what to do, but she doesn’t know how to properly express that to people. She can do it in a professional manner with effort. She does it in her own personal way much better, but it’d take a highly skilled mind reader to even begin to understand that.

In short, Natalie’s just a little different. She sees the world in a more scientific manner. She sees people as organisms that should be allowed to be manipulated just as humans manipulate any other creatures. Really, Natalie sees humans as equal to any being on the planet because they’re all made of the same basic things. Atoms, Cells, organs.... It’s all the same to Natalie; so all things are the same. However, the difference comes in when she thinks of the fact that she can communicate with humans when she can slow down fast enough to comprehend what they’re saying. However, she doesn’t care much for talking to people because they move too slow for her.

Instead, Natalie likes to spend time to herself racing around trying to figure out the secrets of the universe as fast as she possibly can. This leads to problems because no one ever knows where she’ll be next. However, she’s very good at keeping schedules so she’s never late to teach a class and she always ends it rather early. On the other hand, due to her odd nature, Natalie is likely not to want to take the time to explain Biology or the logic behind it to her students as give them the information they need while being quite bored and possibly try multitasking because she doesn’t just want to teach kids. Nevermind the fact that her mind’s an odd place to be and Natalie lives there 24/7.

History

Natalie Fay grew up in a quiet home in the country side with her mother and father. She didn’t go to school because her mother was a teacher and homeschooled her. Her father was the only doctor in the area and tended to treat the animals as well as the humans in exchange for food sometimes instead of money. Natalie had all the comforts of a good home and family. She always learned and moved at an advanced pace and had the patience of a caffeine-addicted chipmunk. Her mother and father tried to temper this, but why shouldn’t they treat their “talented” daughter the way she deserved to be treated.

When Natalie was thirteen, her “faster pace” began to get a little out of hand. She would be running laps around the house (a favorite punishment of her mother’s when Natalie got too “twitchy” when suddenly she realized she could go faster and faster and faster. It wasn’t long before the Hammel Institute located her and attempted to recruit her as a student. Her parents flat-out refused. Her mother didn’t hold with institutional thinking. How dare they try to take their daughter away and make her into a perfect carbon copy of everyone else? Of course, Natalie’s abilities and the symptoms soon got too much for her mother and father to handle. So, Natalie went off to Hammel like a good little girl and learned how to control her ability and nothing else, really. She tried to learn their way, but it was so different from what she was used to, she just gave up and started reading the text books and any other books she could find, only attending classes for the tests. Natalie really just spent her time getting herself into a lot of trouble.

When she finally was able to leave Hammel, she vowed to herself that she’d never go back. She went back home. She spent time with her mother. She enrolled in the closest college after a while when she found that the best job she could hope for was working at a diner, being a farmer’s wife or farming herself. All things Natalie found unacceptable. She got herself a few scholarships with the help of her parents. However, her mother didn’t like the idea of Natalie going to college because she still disliked the structure of the normal education system. Natalie found college much more to her liking. Her study habits really fit into the college atmosphere quite well.

In fact, Natalie pretty much became a professional student for many years studying whatever reached her fancy only earning her degrees accidentally when her mother who kept track of Natalie’s schedule happened to point out that she now had enough credit hours for an Associates or a Bachelors in whatever fields she was interested at the time. When her mother mentioned that Natalie only needed to take this class or that to earn a Masters of Science, Natalie figured it wasn’t too much trouble and when she got around to it, she’d do it. So, she did. When
Her mother happily told Natalie that she only needed to actually do some research or go to medical school to earn a doctorate. Natalie decided she’d really been doing the lifetime student thing too long and she needed to find a job. A real job.

Not many career choices were open to Natalie, still however. This was mostly due to the fact that Natalie had always been more than a bit odd and she never saw a problem with using her special ability to short cut all the “boring stuff”. Clean her room? She’d do it at the speed of sound. Wash dishes? She’d do it as fast as she could without breaking them. Write a paper? She’d write it as fast as she could without breaking the computer. Eat cookies? You get the picture. So Natalie had a mountain of student loans to pay off and no way to pay them. Then she thought she’d try to be a researcher at her first official school. That wouldn’t be too hard right? However, the school was also hurting for a biology teacher and Natalie got one on the condition that she did the other. And she did a fine job at it. Well, so long as it paid the bills...

Roleplay Example

The line at the donut shop was very long and moving unusually show that day. Eliora Lynch stood the in line, glancing at her watch every few minutes. The girl’s annoyance at the smell of confectionary delights was as overwhelming as the smells themselves. She was gradually reaching olfactory sensory overload and the slowly moving line wasn’t helping at all. It didn’t help that she was also about to be late for her job at the university. Ellie was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t realize that the very sweaty man in front of her who was wearing too much cologne had taken a step forward.
Looking sheepish, as there was a grunt from the man behind her who smelled like almonds, Ellie took a step forward and cast a glance around. The woman at the front of the line was looking at the donuts and drooling, but not saying a word to the man behind the counter other than, “Umm...” Ellie didn’t care, but the woman had been standing in line or at least ten minutes. She should have known what she wanted by now.
Apparently, Ellie’s annoyance and impatience was leaking into everyone else. That, or everyone was just as annoyed as she was naturally. Either one could worked as an explanation. Someone cleared their throat and someone else said, “Just pick one, lady.”
That seemed to give the stupid salivating bitch a bit of gumption and she finally selected a donut and the type of coffee she wanted. The sweaty-cologne man moved forward a step and Ellie practically hopped up forward, bouncing impatiently on her heels in her new spot. She already knew exactly what she wanted. The girl ordered the same thing every day from this shop: a cinnamon twist donut with a plain black coffee. It was just that simple.
Luckily, the next three people had very simple orders and that part went quickly. However, sweaty-cologne man was turning out to be the bane of Ellie’s existence. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, smacking his lips, and swaying back and forth looking at the donuts. Ellie was force to send some urgency his way in the form of her pheromones. He quickly ordered a dozen donuts and some fancy latte, but she must’ve released too much urgency pheromones because two barristers started rushing around and inevitably ran into each other, spilling coffee-products everywhere.
Ellie stepped forward with and eye roll and gave the man behind the counter who always smelled like plums her winning smile. “The usual,” she said to him, handing the exact money for her breakfast.
He returned the smile and gave her a receipt with a, “Here you go, Blue-eyes.”
Ellie accepted it and went off to wait for her order which didn’t take as long because the people actually doing the preparation actually got their act together. Sighing at the foolishness of these people, Ellie went off to work.
