APPEARANCE

Short, hot, and deadly. She's a redhead with blue-green eyes and flawless skin, and rarely wears make-up. Sorry Cheryl, you're not the only redheaded girl in town anymore.

PERSONALITY

Natalia is generally very quiet and observant, being the one who generally tends to be in the corner, watching everyone else. As part of her cover, she pretends to be kind, though in fact she strives to keep people away from knowing who or what she really is, which is a killer thanks to her training. She is inquisitive and earnest, but has a hard time telling right from wrong because her morals have been skewed by her training. She is an exceptional actress and knows how to manipulate people, and is a master spy and assassin even at the age she currently is.

She claims not to know most of those she has killed, but deep down she has memorized their names, and occasionally their faces haunt her at night. She tries to find ways to neutralize people if she can, resorting to killing only when she needs to. As a result of her training, she knows how to get rid of bodies and hide evidence, and isn't afraid to torture someone for information. She's used to doing others' dirty work.

She uses her emotions to manipulate herself as well as others, and builds a shell that she rarely lets others break through. She is a very private person.

HISTORY

Natalia was chosen to join the KGB before she was even born; her parents were both members, and were essentially used for breeding; she does not know their real names. From infancy, she grew up within the KGB training program, and became their top student for her age. When the assignment came down for a teenager to be sent to spy on Hiram Lodge in the town of Riverdale, Natalia was chosen for her skills and her mastery of the English and Spanish languages.

HOW DID THEY COME TO RIVERDALE?

See history above. Natalia was placed as a "foreign exchange" student with the Russells, a middle-class family in Riverdale, with the express mission of getting close to the Lodges and their circle and reporting back to the KGB as needed.
