Natasha, Glatorian Ice Assassin

 This is Natasha. Like Frona The Toa of Black Ice Natasha is wearing a specialty over gown in the above image, made of the same material as Frona's blue robe top. 

Why Natasha is all dressed up...well, in the Life of Lewa story line; I'd say she's wearing an over skirt to one, keep warm. The other reason may be because she's attending the crystals opera halls, being that she's friends with Frona, and may work there as an acrobat now and then.

Also, if you wish to know what Natasha looks like on most occasions, when not wearing an over skirt that is, simply look at the Travels of Frona, book 1  comic. Natasha is wearing pretty much the same things, but on most occasions she doesn't wear an over skirt, just a blue butt flap with the flower weight and pearl sash.

Her pearl and gem encrusted sash may have a significance to her character beyond just decorative purposes. In concept, she may have received the sash as a gift for carrying out a deed, and was rewarded with something lavish which she wears with honor. 

Closer details of her jewelry and outfit (below). 
Jewelry elements used: a flower pin, and vintage bracelet.

History of Natasha

Natasha's name is typical, yes, but it fits. Natasha's early history started back around the same time as Frona, in the year 2009.

Natasha's character and personality type became more clear as time went on, and she existed as a first time character for role play in Vulpes Toa's dimension.

Her character started off mysterious, and then it became clear that she was a professional ice assassin, who worked for those who could afford it. (Sound a bit like someone? I did in fact develop Natasha's personality type off the character she was made from, Strakk.) She's basically a female assassin form of Strakk, and the only person who can keep her in line to some degree is Frona.

Early History:  The role play episode I remember Natasha in was on Vulpes Toa's dimension. Natasha took a job from not so good people of the planet, and she was then bested by Toa Duncan and his friends. They captured her and attempted to discover who she was, but in her training Natasha would never spill the answer to that. 
      To keep her from running, they put her in a room that had a frequency field next to the exit, which would trigger a bomb collar they put around her neck. They figured she wouldn't attempt to escape, and would stay in the room till they got answers; but little did they know how crazy Natasha really is.
      To preserve her cover and shield her history, she would willingly destroy herself than give in. Natasha attempted to walk into the frequency field, but was saved by her captors, who discovered she's not evil, just neutral when it comes to sides. 
      We also discover that Natasha is a very depressed individual, who's life means very little to her if she doesn't have work or something worthwhile to do. You could say she's a thrill seeker, and enjoys her job.
     
Like any character of course, she has alternate versions, just as Frona does. Which means Natasha exists in the universe of LoL. And if you really want to get technical, every figure Pearllight is friends with, tend to show up at some point in every dimension she travels to.

Basic Information:

Age: Glatorian years unknown (In human years about 37)

Elemental Powers:  Regular ice powers, super good hearing, and the ability to see through any snow storm.

Weapons: Ice axe, thornax blaster with specialty explosive ammo, and hidden spy equipment.

Height: About 7' 

Color: Main color-white. Secondary color-dark blue. Accent colors- gray and ice blue.

Personality: Grouchy and distrusting. Very calculative and cautious to a degree of ridiculousness, cynical and usually right about her gut feelings, has a dry sort of rude humor, is tired and feels most people die from lack of knowledge and stupidity, is logical and rather cold, tends to like lone missions and feels aid commonly gets in the way more than helps (but will join Frona as an exception). She's also rather rough and tough for a woman.

Interests: Enjoys fighting and exercise, likes the feeling of adrenaline rush and does snow boarding during avalanche. Enjoys throwing stars at trees, attending arena battles for the thrill, goes to bars when she feels like having a conversation and finding information, will read for hours but eventually gets tired of thinking and swings her axe around when bored. Most of her interests are in her job; so when she's payed as an assassin, she takes it. And when she's not working as an assassin, she works as an acrobat and fighter in the plays of the crystal opera halls.

Abilities: Her methods of fighting range from direct combat to stealthy distant strikes. Her strongest profession is sniping, and is so skilled in this ability that she can shoot someone on a mountain miles away during even the worst snow storm. She's very quick in getting a job done, and won't kill unless necessary. In most cases she knocks out, ties up, and hides the people who get in her way when she's aiming for a prime target. She's also extremely quiet, and treats missions like a game; feeling there are two ways to win. One way it to quickly and quietly do the job, leaving without a single trace; and if that fails she goes in for direct combat. In most cases Natasha goes incognito for her missions, and disguises herself with nomadic winter clothes, so no one can find her after she finishes the job.

Someday I may make a regular description sheet for all my characters, including the ones now listed. Hope you enjoyed Natasha's back story and small history. ^.~
