only skin deep

Play by: Ogawa Mana
Appearance:
One most noticeable feature about this Japanese-American are her huge dark brown eyes. They're like huge orbs of swirling chocolates. Also, because of her chipmunk cheeks - so she says - people often mistaken her as someone younger. Since her body is developing faster than her face, her age is a bit of a mystery to others. This picture up her is what she looked before she started attending the school. Natalie's hair has grown quite a bit and her looks are beginning to mature; let's just say she's gotten a bit more girlish these past months. Just a little, though. By the way, you won't see her flashing any toothy smiles when you're around. Her powers had altered her teeth into making them pointy and ten times sharper and just a tad thicker; Natalie is very sensitive about that part about her appearance. In other words, her teeth look more like a shark's jaw. They can crush and add pressure beyond human capabilities and seem to appear like that animal, too.

on the inside that counts

Personality:
Natalie... a mysterious one. Often, she avoids interactions with others and will no adapt to social events, for she finds them 'unnecessary' or 'irrelevant' to what is the main point of this whole school. This is an upside to it, because she focuses on her studies and taming her powers instead of being bothered by people she supposedly despises. And, during times at school, Natalie gives people the cold-shoulder and end things with simple yet hurtful words of truth or what her thoughts upon the person is. Also, having a power that makes her physical appearance with a doubt strange, you can't blame her for not being able to get close to anyone or having to be extremely awkward in so many situations. And even though this Japanese-American is considered a pain in the butt for most people, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about anyone. In fact, Natalie favors the people, who she considers to be the most related or has the same likings as her; in fact, Natalie has enough of a heart to actually spare some small talk to them, if she decides to. Did I mention that she's a silent optimistic? Well, it's not that she's really hateful as her natural personality. It's just that she's scared to have strong bonds, it's a touchy subject. Natalie only acts like this now, because she's just driving them away; honestly, it's kind of obvious that she isn't the first person to go crying to or the best social butterfly. Plus, Natalie hates the 'regular people' for alienating the mutants because they were 'different'. But, as time goes, she's going make it out alive - with or without friends.

On the downside to all of this, Natalie is always questioning her self-worth and always being unable to cope with her emotional problems. Sometimes, she'll break down in tears out of frustration, when the only cure is to make friends and let herself 'count on them'. Because of all of this, she's often being a natural pain than a forced pain in the butt. Letting it out verbally on people is her way of letting it out, but of course, isn't the best. This is why people find her irritating. In addition, Natalie is very, very attentive to people looking her face which is another reason that she's shy. But the number one reason are her shark-like teeth that fill in each triangular gap, making a totally locked in cage in her mouth. It bothers Natalie a whole lot, so she's very careful when she's talking to others and the length of her sentences. She makes sure not to stress her language too much. In her opinion, making friends are hard and creating strong bongs are impossible, but who knows? As Natalie says, "No one has the power to control destiny."

some of us are... different

FOR MUTANTS, Leave blank if you are human.

Power(s): Jaw Enhancement/ Shark-Biting Power
(It's one ability. I just didn't know what to name it.)
Weakness(s): As a youngster for herself, biting through hard objects aren't a problem, but biting on it too hard is. When she puts more pressure than she's limited to, Natalie is taking a chance at breaking her jaw or risking her own life. Since the strength of her jaws are enough to crush rocks, it's that much easier to break bones including her own skull. In other words, too much power will cause her whole mouth to break all the way to the head which can crush the cranium. When she digs her teeth in, it's either you're losing a body limb, or you're going to have Natalie cling onto you until she decided to pull out. Tearing things to shreds and ripping them apart isn't very hard for her either.
Cause:
Ever since the day Natalie was born, she always had this odd look in her gums. Sharp-tipped teeth were already sprouting when she was only two months and since that very month, it's been a difficult time not trying to wreak her parent's apartment. Their doctors were stunned completely; her parents found everything to be okay, as long as their daughter belonged to them which was an excuse, for they had darker intentions.
Other skills: She's a Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the New Heroes series fanatic. Don't bash these books around, or you'll be loosing a foot.
