She closes herself off from people until she feels that she can trust them and if they can handle her eccentricities (helps if they have Ivan’s stamp of approval) but is more or less polite to her instructors because her manners won’t let her be rude in mixed companies.
Pet?: Yes, a horned owl called Yasha
Background: Natalia is the spitting image of her mother. Her mother was a pureblood from Belarus (attended Durmstrang) who become the third wife of General Winter. Natalia was born and just shortly before her third birthday, her mother passed away and she was raised with her half-siblings and the General.
She was primarily ignored by him but was still treated nicer than her brother. Her older siblings practically raised her, which as they got older changed how she viewed the world. She clung to her brother Ivan because he was her protector and she wanted to be like him. In which she gained a love for sharp weapons, war, and fighting. When the time came for schooling, she went and learned all she could about the Magical Arts by attending Durmstrang (following her mother's and the family's footsteps]
Her summers were spent with her Mother's family at their ancestral home on Lake Strusta, and she learned of their history and the pureblood culture; both English and Belarusian. Even if she was a halfblood, her mother was a pureblood and that was all that mattered. Which gave her an interesting view of the world, even though she is truly a half-blood, she prides herself as being a pure-blood and hides the secret of her blood status. Living in two worlds was always hard on her and it shows in how she acts and interacts with people or around them.
When she heard her brother was going to the University, she applied as well and was planning on surprising him at the school. He just needs to stop hiding and greet her properly.
Relations with other characters:
Russia - The people who Natalia loves is a short list, but the one she truly loves is her brother Ivan. He was the defining man in her life, not even the General could make her obey and be polite and respectful; everything that a pureblood women should be. Natalia would do anything and everything for him, no questions asked.
Ukraine - Loves her older sibling, but gets irrationally jealous sometimes when Ivan clings to her. [Possibly views Ukraine as a stand in mother figure]
Others: More to the come
Sample:
Her first love was ballet. When she was a little girl living in the capital, all she wanted was to do ballet. Everything captivated her, the costumes, the music, the emotional connection and the history of the world of Ballet.
She made her mama buy her a pink tutu, complete with gold sparkles and matching pirouette shoes. Natalia would devote her life to dance. And the years passed, and she became better. Becoming the top ballerina in her school; respect was given to her and she was the vision of people's jealousy. Natalia Arloskaya would be the next Prima Ballerina Absoluta and she would be loved by all.
Sweet and deadly at sixteen gave her entrance to the most premiere dancing academy in the world and that was where she found another love. A Muscovite dancer; strong and handsome... Ivan Braginski. A much older man and more sensitive than she would have guessed. Natalia was enamored and she feel deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole of the cut-throat world of dance.
The rest
