History
Date of Birth: November 1st, 1808
Home: Brussels, Flanders, Belgium
Family: Gertjan and Margriet Pleisier (parents), Joris (older brother), Lars (older brother)
The Embrace: External Supernatural Trigger (Natalie's older brothers all perished in war, leaving her to take over her father's seamstress business, which she showed magnificent talent for anyway, and after her parents retired, she built up connections to textile industries across Europe, which was why the Ventrue targeted her for the Embrace), 1838
Sire: Lois Amsterdam
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (her Becoming involved proving her ability to master her Hunger and know the Traditions, all of which Natalie adapted to quickly, but she soon realized she should have been Embraced by the Toreador)
Comrades: Lois Amsterdam, Sander Link, Carolien van Vormeer
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (while Natalie accepted that her clan wanted her industrial ties, and she cultivated them to help, she continued her craft as a pioneering fashionista, adapting to the age but always maintaining her classic 19th-century Flemish signature)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (at the clan's behest, she moved to the New World to cultivate textile industry ties there, and she settled in the city of Baltimore, Maryland)
Key Event #3: Treachery (she did not always do as her clan wanted, and almost seemed to align with the Brujah when she pushed for labor rights of textile plant workers in the mid 19th-century -- but her defense was that she wanted to see quality put over quantity)
Key Event #4: Awe & Wonder (Natalie became a trend-setter for fashion throughout the country well into the 20th-century)
Key Event #5: Personal Tragedy (saddened by the loss of old friends, in the last part of the 20th-century, she decided to settle upon a long-term servant, and over a course of a decade, she reviewed and patiently evaluated all of her retainers and contractors before choosing Brent Bayle)
Transition: Defeat (no sooner did she bring Brent into her confidence than did a Sabbat assault on Baltimore drive non-combatant Kindred like she out of the city, and she relocated to Kansas City, where she hoped to bridge all remaining gaps between clans Ventrue and Toreador and transform the Camarilla into an unassailable powerhouse)

Nature: Romantic
Brent
Weakness
Immaterial
Natalie has clearly decided to spend eternity designing and producing quality clothing. From an aesthetic point of view, that's a wonderful existence. From a practical Gehenna-is-right-around-the-corner perspective, it's pointless and even moronic.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
She has a decent heart despite her nature, but the ancilla Cainite knows her Hunger is always a threat to body and soul.
