Personality
Originally being rather Xenophobic to others outside of her original home of Etoile, she had grown rather distrustful of others all around due to her having left Arachnos and having been hunted by fellows for months until she was released from the kill lists. Though overall distrustful of other people, she has an ingrained desire to interact with others. Though usually with a blank face, calm looking and rarely showing much emotion outside of the occasional sigh, she seems to enjoy commenting, whether legitimately or sarcastically, on other people.
She's been know to try approaching groups of people, only to turn away, making it seem as if she is prone to anxiety in approaching others, herself, despite her, generally, sociable nature. Though usually totally straight laced, she has been seen letting herself out of her suit once in a while, though when not in armor, fatigues or a suit she seems even more anxious than usual, as if out of her element.
Beleif System
Politics and Government
Natille is of the belief that ANY government can survive, given the right leader, and that in order to sustain it, it must be passed down by another, appropriate leader. Of course, this puts her into a, kind of, flawed position on Anarchy, as it is part of a no-leader system, so it takes away from her 'any government can work' belief and she is aware of this, though not sure how to explain it. In relation to politics, she mainly focuses on world-wide country-to-country politics, rather than internalized to just her country. She thinks that there should be more regulations on spec ops allowable by NATO and the UN, she mainly getting this due to the known Longbow Enforcers invading in her land.
Due to recent developments, Natille's world view has suffered a few changes, mainly the acceptance of flaws of all systems, even her own. This caused her to be for even more ideas of world-police and to hope for a centralized unit to focus on combating illegal operations, despite she knowing it will never happen.
Sex and Love
Natille admits she has not had much experience in this department, but still has a strong belief about love. She doesn't like how many people seem to restrict themselves in the sense of sexuality. She, honestly, believes sexuality is more a choice of who people look to as attractive, rather than anything biological, and find restricting one to a certain sex, or species in dealing with other-worldly, or otherwise intelligent creatures, as ignorant. She always sees as people restricting who they find as a potential lover, is lessening the chances of finding someone that truly accepts them, and loves them, unconditionally.
Faith and Religion
Natille has always had a hard time in believing in spirituality and religion. She cannot fathom an infinitely powerful being, but can't just write it off as an impossibility. This caused her, in her youth, to study religion with a passion, trying to see if she could find a God or Series of Beliefs that fit her mind of how the world works, and how the afterlife would work. She can't just see the planet being all there is, this life and nothing else, the idea of disappearing into a void of nothing kind of scaring her. She can't take on the atheist ideals, because of her irrational fear, but she hasn't found a religion she believes in, yet, so she is a proclaimed agnostic. She has a bit of religious knowledge, having taken up some amateur studies, but fell through the studies after High School, so she lost some of the knowledge she obtained with her existential crisis of her youth.

Power Pools
Arachnos Soldier
A Standard Arachnos Military Rifle. Natille is trained in this weapon, since her training, and since she refused to join the Crab or Bane spiders, she sticks with this weapon to the end. She focuses on ranged combat, as is appropriate, her bayonet mainly for show.
Upon leaving Arachnos she had gathered several of different arms from all around and uses them with the same proficiency as the Arachnos Rifles.
Training and Gadgets
Natille was trained in tactics and that was her whole focus. Having become hardened in her years as a soldier she has become a master at tactics, and shows it through her utilization of cover and devices.
Over time she had gathered more knowledge and skill, and even had several cybernetic implants set on her to compensate for some of her weaknesses.
Leadership
A masterful commander in the field, Natille has advanced tactics of accuracy and efficiency in combat. She is also a beacon of authority in the midst of combat when things appear to be going poorly for all involved. Under stress she has the ability to work quicker with her mind, especially if an ally has fallen, given a boost to herself and remaining allies.
Speed
Working and knowing your weapon is the key of a soldier. Because of her own technical knowledge she is able to be efficient in reloading and planning for tactical stikes, enabling her to strike with her weapon-of-choice more hastily than others.
Leaping
When actively focusing on combat Natille has a slightly-more-advantagous danger-sense due to her years of combat. This gives her quicker reactions to jump and dodge between cover than some other untrained humans.
Mace Mastery
Given to her by working with the lieutenants, she was allowed to handle a specialized Arachnos Mace for Operatives under Black Scorpion. She has kept this item despite being removed from Arachnos.
Weaknesses
Being a normal Human, she has the same weaknesses as one. She is susceptible to damage, has little mental protection, though her armor helps against that and a big one, for her, she has Dyslexia, often causing her to be slower in paperwork or getting quick, written instructions.
Equipment
Assault Rifle
With several Assault Rifles in her armory she favors an M-16 designed rifle equipped with incindeary rounds and a grenade launcher able to launch several different grenades.
Wolf Spider Armor
Standard Wolf Spider armor. This armor helps with protecting her from harm, physically and mentally, with the helmet. After training and utilizing this armor for so long, she managed to reverse-engineer the armor to an extent and make it more usable and wearable under more civilian clothing.
Arachnos Mace
An issued Mace for Operatives under Black Scorpion. It is meant to be all purpose, able to fire web grenades and disruption blasts.
Cybernetics
Upon discharge from Arachnos Natille decided to invest some of her wealth into herself. She managed to get wired reflex installed, helping her in closer-combat situations, though her ability to use cover does come easier with the quickened speed. She also had some Neuro-Enhancers to help against mental intrusion after she had to dive deeper into psychic compounds, making her mind difficult, but not impossible, to read and effect.
Personal History
Birth and Youth
Natille Alison Venfield was born in Haven Hospital in Etoile to two Etoile Loyalists, Karen and Howard Venfield. The Secondof Three Children, and was ignored between her parents before long, after her younger brother was born and the parent's paid attention to the younger and older, leaving her to keep to herself. She had started having trouble in school when she was six years old, and her problems were ignored, but she was insistent on being seen as a good child and praised, but she never really found it. She was pretty much ignored her youth by her family and learned to just not give a damn when she got older, but still determined to make something out of herself.
Teenage Years
Natille didn't really get along with many people when she was young, but started going into a kind of religious crisis when she came to high school. She wondered if what she was doing mattered to anyone and started reading up on Theology. She originally wanted to become a Theologist after school, but was actually persuaded otherwise when she became a Junior-Equivalent in her school. She was overtaken by Arachnos propaganda, and started seeing them as something that could give her a real sense of purpose. She pre-enrolled into the program and started taking early military qualification exams through the last few years of her schooling, and was immediately admitted into an Arachnos Academy for Military Training.
Arachnos Training
When Natille was accepted into the Military Academy, she was already ahead of a few in her group. She started her physical training in High School and changed her studying dedicated to Religion over to the Study of Protocol. She was able to become at the top of her class, rather quickly. She was accepted as a Wolf Spider Assault after a few years and continued on her way as a Wolf Spider.
Wolf Spider Advancement
She managed to slowly go up the ranks. She never really made herself very distinguished in the group. Then again, she never really got any chances, always doing minor things, never really any operations, despite she being fairly high in the Academic standards. She wanted to go up on her own merits, as well, rather than on the backs of others, which means she didn't really climb the ranks as others had, but this also kept her rather safe. The first time she, actually, got promoted was after a successful defense of an Arachnos Facility in Nerva when Longbow had assaulted. Most of the Defense force was wiped out, and Natille, along with other low-ranking soldiers, were all that was left after a Webmaster was taken prisoner. She opted to fight, rather than surrender, and helped in the successful defense of the base. She was promoted, but not by much, and acknowledged as a Tactical Operative.
Project: DESTINY
The very first time Natille did step on others to get higher was after a few years of the initiation of Project: DESTINY. She saw this influx of criminals and riff-raff coming into her country and hated the idea. She was contacted by Alan Desslock, having seen her complain so much about this. She was made an offer she believed she needed to take. She was able to upload her name onto the list of the Destined Ones, and did so, unfortunately, at the cost of operative Jenkins, who had discovered this secret. Natille was allowed slightly more reign and another promotion after this discovery. She doesn't run off as much as she could, but stuck with Arachnos Orders, trying to keep herself in her duties as Military Personel.
Blackweb
After a year of being a Destined One with little show of it, she eventually was brought down back into some more paperwork and Protocol. She didn't mind it, but was still marked as one to watch for. Natille was soon brought to the attention of some Operatives in Blackweb, a special group of Arachnos Soldiers under Black Scorpion. She was enlisted into this company with little arguement, and rose the ranks very slowly, she not really able to do much, as this group's funding had seemed lax, lately.
Operation: DESTINY
After another year of working and coming to the Top, Natille managed to work, directly, under Black Scorpion. She worked with him over a month, trying to learn more of Project: DESTINY. The further she went in the more she learned and the more she didn't like it. She followed through with her ruse, trying to work as if she was a true Destined One, eventually having Black Scorpion tell her Recluse was to use her with fulfilling Operation: DESTINY, the final conclusion of the project. She managed to work under Black Scorpion, going on Recluse's orders, learning the complete details. She couldn't really believe what was being told to her, despite flattery of the idea. She followed through with it to the end and completed the 'prophecy', despite her skepticism, and reversed it. Natille returned to Grandville, after the ordeal, and spoke directly with Recluse. In route with her wishes to not become a Bane or Crab Spider, Recluse allowed her to continue being under the Wolves, though promotng her to a Huntsman, finally. Natille was overjoyed, but kept her composure.
Natille was offered a few things, but turned down much of it, wanting to continue to be a soldier for Etoile. She decided to remain in Arachnos, remain in Blackweb, and continue working for Etoile. She spoke with Kalinda after all this, and it was agreed that she is to keep quiet about what entails Project: DESTINY, but she has noted that she will keep an eye on those other Destined Ones that Recluse brings, she fearing for her country, even more, knowing what Recluse planned.
Natille Versus Statesman
Natille has always seen much of the United States as a country festering with terrorists in every corner. She eventually, after gaining confidence, went to the United States herself, in Paragon City and fought Statesman. After a grueling battle, she stood victorious, in front of many people in a crowd. The Paragon Times reported the battle in it's pages:
At four thirty two at City Hall Statesman was giving a speech to the masses of Paragon City for Publicity
and assurance of the safety of the city due to the valiant defense of heroes. This drew a wide crowd of
more than supporters, of course, but there was one person who was especially disgruntled.
Despite being surrounded by security, both Police and longbow Agents, there was a person who broke through
and wanted to give a few words with Statesman. A woman in a trench coat and flak jacket came out of the woodworks calling the Hero of the City a terrorist,
and wanted to fight him. Amidst the running crowd and young Heroes these two started fighting. With the assurance that the woman was doomed to the might of THE Statesman, people stood off, to let them
duke it out themselves. Even high security heroes watched the fight between this normal and the super. Words
exchanged Continue P. B3
[on Page B3]
between the two were near similar, calling each other a threat to their city, a terrorist and an evil doer. The crowd watched in awe as the two fought, Statesmen seeming to hold back to prevent damage to the City hall, while the woman used
cover and terrain to her advantage. Eventually, after twenty minutes of combat, the unexpected happened. Statesman fell to the
ground due to injuries, the woman standing and approaching the body. She proclaimed it as a warning that Etoile (More commonly
known as the Rogue Isles) was tired of being bullied by terrorists. The woman accepted the questions of a brave reporter of this paper, agreeing to a cease fire for this questioning. The information
received was that she was a soldier for the Etoile Islands and was working under no previous orders, doing this herself because
she was tired of the invasions on her land. She claimed her name was Natille Venfield and she was twenty nine years of age, having
spent a third of her life in military training. When asked about the leadership of Etoile she said she rather not speak of it for
her own safety. After the interview, Natille retreated after the 'cease fire' was off, due to her seeming able to beat Statesman in a one-on-one
fight all the heroes there proceeded in an attempt to bring her into custody. Somehow, she managed to evade capture. Her current
whereabouts are unknown. The full interview with the Soldier from Etoile is on page B6.
[Interview on B6]
Interview conducted by Lorenzo Barterelli.
L.B.: Who are you and why are you here?
N.V.: My name is Natille Venfield and I had come here to challenge one of the threats to my country. This is mainly as a warning,
I didn't intend it the be fatal.
L.B.: Your country? Are you speaking of America?
N.V.: No, I am a citizen of Etoile.
L.B.: Etoile? You mean the Rogue Isles? What do you do there?
N.V.: Yes, it may be known as that, but it is in insult. We may have trouble, at this time, but we are not a series of islands
inhabited by horrible people. I am a soldier for the military, charged with counter terrorism.
L.B.: You say you are of the military. Is that Arachnos? And what terrorism do you attempt to prevent?
N.V.: Yes, Arachnos is the official military of Etoile, and I am a soldier of it. I am charged with preventing hostile take over,
bombings and kidnappings of officials.
L.B.: If you are affiliated with Arachnos, did you come here under the orders of Lord Recluse?
N.V.: No. I felt I needed to do this myself. I am working without orders. I expect disiplinary actions when I get back, but felt
this was really required.
L.B.: You say it was required and also Statesman is a terrorist. Why do you say this?
N.V.: Without the U.N. giving us sanctions to expel the terrorists from the United States, I believed it would be demoralizing to
the agents so that we can finally flush them out if thier strongest leader was felled. I just want my country back and safe from
harm of people outside our own Islands. Admittedly, Statesman himself hasn't been as much a problem, it has been Miss Liberty and
Longbow, but I felt this battle would be beter for my cause.
L.B.: I see. If you think Longbow and Miss Liberty are terrorists, how do you feel about Lord Recluse and his lieutenants?
N.V.: I am sorry, but I cannot say my opinion on the leadership of my country, for fear of further disiplinary actions.
L.B.: Despite your random fight, you do not seem as bad as other Arachnos we have dealt with before. Thank you for answering my
questions.
N.V.: You're welcome. Now excuse me, I do not intend to be captured.
Natille eventually escaped the country, back to Etoile. She was treated with respect among some of the higher level Arachnos after coming back, the ones that knew of it to begin with, but was still given a probationary period... Which amounts to pretty much nothing.
Aracnos Decent
Natille has stuck around being a loyalist in the Arachnos Organization. However, she started losing more faith the higher she went. She saw the problems but things started exploding out of proportion. When Galaxy City was bombarded by meteors, the dispatch was sent. Natille was brought there and saw, firsthand, the problems occurring. She was allowed to do 'what was deemed neccicary' and she tried her best to HELP people, though often times with angry looks from her workers.
She saw and heard and was accused of the problems that Arachnos was happening and was disheartened after the assault, because that's what it was. She spoke a bit to upper-tier agents and arbiters and was given a leave of absence as it seemed to she becoming a problem in thier operations.
When Natille was ordered back it was for something she condemned greatly. An Arbiter had been informed of a rogue unit hiding amongst the Grandville slums. The solution? Run a giant machine through it... And have Natille do it... Despite the risk to her career she, not only refused the command, but assaulted the arbiter. She fought off a few waves of Arachnos soldiers herself and stopped a missile assault on the slums.
After this she was court martialed, and by that meaning she was marked for termination. She survived the brief time of hits and confronted Recluse. He was disappointed in her, now, especially since he had given ehr the reign she wanted, but, as per his ideals, admired her strength. he would not guarantee her safety, but wouldn't command people directly after her.
New Life of Natille
After she managed to leave Arachnos, Natille decided her life as a soldier would never be able to change. Scarred mentally and physically from a life of combat since she was a teenager, she knew she would never be able to live a 'normal' life and she couldn't just deny her skills, knowledge and experience to the world... But she had no real alliances, no affiliations and no destiny.
Breaking from Arachnos means that she was broken from the group she was affiliated with since becoming a 'destined one', Blackweb. No friends to speak of, no family to turn to and no confidants to turn to, Natille had only one choice - make her own path on the world.
Natille started her life as a Gun-For-Hire. She wanted to start a mercenary group, but with no people she trusted scrapped that group quickly and became a one-woman army. Known as a masterful tactician, she works well alone or together, able to take some of the toughest groups in numbers inconceivable for some. She has been known to solo entire groups of opposing merceneries, soldiers and even monsters. Thousands have fallen to her skill and she has been able to aquire a decent bit of wealth, even having been marked in a couple magazines in the top hundred most skilled non-metahumans.
Though no where near a house-hold name, Natille has a minor bit of fame in some Mercenary and Hitmen circles.
Note
Natille's Defenses are explained through positioning. She finds cover and utilizes it to the best of her ability. Of course, those in close proximity have ways of going over or through cover, so it is a baser weakness for her in Melee.
Since they seen rather popular and this song always reminds me of her, especially in combat: Her designated themesong is Dragon Rider by Two Steps from Hell. You can lsiten to it for yourselves at: http://grooveshark.com/s/Dragon+Rider/3Apbeq?src=5
Natille actually loves rock and metal. Since she was young she played Guitar and it has become her main hobby for years now. She plays Lead and Bass and owns three Guitars:
