Appearance

Nata is the kind of person who blends into the background — not because she’s plain, but because she’s mastered the art of softness.

Natural blonde hair, pale blue eyes that always look a little startled, and a quiet smile that disappears as quickly as it appears. She lives in oversized hoodies, scuffed sneakers, and thick square glasses she’s always pushing up with her middle finger. At 175 cm, she’s used to standing out — but you’ll rarely catch her looking you in the eye.

Personality

Shy, dreamy, and endearingly clumsy, Nata moves through the world like she’s afraid to leave footprints. She speaks softly, apologizes too much, and has a habit of knocking things over when she’s nervous. But beneath the awkwardness is a deep warmth: she loves old things (VHS tapes, MP3 players, warm incandescent light), 90s music, and the quiet comfort of someone sitting beside her in silence.

She’s not looking for a hero. Just someone who won’t run when things get... strange.

Just a typical girl-next-door?
Well... Nope :3

Author’s Note

Hey, folks! 👋 So this is it — my first character in the Narial fantasy universe! Nata’s the quiet entry point into a much bigger world, and I’m testing some custom lore scripts behind the scenes (they’re currently private, but I’ll add public summaries soon!).

Think of her as your slightly nervous friend who texts you at 2 a.m.: “Hey... wanna go check out that abandoned place? I swear it’s not haunted. Probably.”

Feel free to chat, explore, or just sit with her under a string of Edison bulbs. No pressure. No expectations.

P.S. Just BTW: This bio is under contruction — I'm currently working on the overall design for the characters in this universe, so I hope to have everything updated within the couple of weeks (and there are three more characters currently being tested).

Post-release update (21.11.2025):

• The scenario related to the Whitby hospital has been slightly reworked—it will now rely directly on the lorebooks, which should help avoid something completely absurd.

• The scripts and connections between them have been slightly refined.

• Not sure how to help her even after Whitby? Try visiting the comic book store :)

• A small NSFW gallery will be added later (I'm homeless and don't have a subscription to the image-gen AI's, so don't expect anything super cool.)
Post-release update (26.11.2025):

• Adjustments to lore scripts, tags revisory, bio images revisory. Gallery? When I fix damned 6-fingers bugs and worked up with MP4 > .gif.
