Natalie Lorne

Natalie Christina Lorne, is a public activist with the infamous terror group, the Free Space party. However, she is not quite as radical as some others within the group. She is a kind hearted young woman and doesn't want to hurt innocents.
Other than her borderline criminal affiliation, Natalie is a skilled computer programmer and engineer having earned her degree at MIT. She is absolutely brilliant, too brilliant to be mixing it up with the FSP. Shortly after the start of the Human-Hivivian War, Natalie became the first human to successfully translate Shilizal writings as well as partly learned the spoken Shilizal language.
Natalie is also a stealth transgender woman having been on female hormones since she was 8 years old, and gender reassignment surgery at 12. However, Natalie doesn't consider herself to be transgender. In fact, because of how she was raised, Natalie truly believes that she is a biological woman.

Biography

Early life and education

Natalie Christina Lorne was born on May 6, 2692 in Boston, Massachusetts. She was the youngest daughter born to a poor family struggling to make ends meet. As a result, her parents could not afford to raise son and decided to raise Natalie as a girl.
Her childhood was filled with her parents constantly reminding her that she was a girl and not a boy. Because of this, Natalie grew up with the knowledge that she was female.
At the age of eight, Natalie's parents started her on testosterone blockers and estrogen disguised as vitamins, ensuring that her body would develop as a normal girl. When Natalie was 12, she began to question why she was growing breasts and asked to have them removed, humoring her, Natalie’s parents pretended to agree and scheduled the surgery. However, they lied to her, rather than having her breasts removed - they had her undergo gender reassignment surgery. When she woke up from the anesthetic, the truth of her parents' decision became apparent. At first, there was shock and a sense of betrayal, but as Natalie adjusted, she felt no different, she was still a girl.
Natalie's parents, despite their initial deception, felt no guilt for their actions. They believed they had a daughter, and they were determined to raise her as such, convinced that it was for her best interest. Natalie's childhood, a tapestry woven with secrets and unspoken truths, was nonetheless a happy one. However, in middle school, Natalie felt like was supposed to have been born male, so she tried to live as a boy, for a few weeks, but often found it hard as it required her to skip her makeup and bind her chest in order hide her breasts. Natalie's teachers and principal soon put a stop as it was distracting other students by pretending to be a boy. When Natalie told her parents that she was going to live as a girl, they were a bit confused but ultimately relieved, having imagined the difficult life that would await their daughter if she grew up as a boy.
Natalie's high school years were a time of blossoming. She grew into her femininity with grace and strength, bolstered by a supportive group of friends who celebrated her uniqueness. Art became her solace; she found the practice of transforming a blank canvas into vibrant stories liberating. Her teachers recognized a profound talent within her, and soon, Natalie's artwork was adorning the corridors of the school and earning accolades at local exhibitions.
The truth about her having been born male remains hidden from her, with herself thinking that she has always been a biological female. Her parents had succussed, she was a normal young woman in every way, and completely happy.

College life

College life was everything Natalie had hoped for and more. She loved the freedom and independence of living on her own, and the diverse community at Harvard provided her with a sense of belonging that she had never experienced before.
Natalie's busy schedule kept her occupied, but she managed to strike a balance between her academic commitments and extracurricular activities. She became a member of the Women in Computer Science club, where she found mentors and peers who shared her passion for technology. Together, they organized coding workshops for young girls in the local community, hoping to inspire more women to pursue careers in STEM fields. In addition to her interest in computer science, Natalie also discovered a love for engineering. She joined the Society of Women Engineers and participated in various design competitions, winning several awards for her team's innovative creations. But college life wasn't all about academics for Natalie. She also made time for self-care and explored new hobbies like cooking and child raising, as she wanted to be a mother due to her strong maternal instincts. In between classes and study sessions, she would often be found in the cozy kitchen of her dorm, experimenting with recipes and flavors.
Natalie had always been fascinated by the complexities of family dynamics, and the idea of nurturing a family of her own one day. She found joy in learning about child development and the psychology behind parenting, often spending her evenings reading books on the subject or attending lectures by specialists. As she navigated the intricate landscape of college life, Natalie began to grapple with questions of identity and purpose. She felt a growing desire to understand her roots, to comprehend fully the woman she was becoming.

Radicalization

As Natalie delved deeper into her studies and explored different aspects of her identity, she also became increasingly aware of the injustices and inequalities in the world around her. This awareness sparked a sense of urgency within her to take action and fight for change.
Natalie's activism began as an expression of her passion for social justice, but it soon evolved into something much more radical. She became heavily involved in organizations that opposed humanity colonizing other planets, seeing it as a violation of Earth's resources and a disregard for indigenous communities. She also vehemently spoke out against boys transitioning to girls, arguing that it was a threat to her own womanhood.
As someone who had always identified as female, Natalie saw the growing acceptance of transgender individuals as an attack on her own identity. She believed that allowing boys to become girls would erase the struggles and experiences of biological women like herself and contribute to the erasure of womanhood altogether.
Her strong convictions often put Natalie at odds with others in progressive circles, drawing criticism from fellow activists who accused her of being transphobic and exclusionary. But she remained steadfast in her beliefs, convinced that she was fighting for the preservation of true womanhood. Natalie's activism made waves on campus, earning both praise and backlash. She found herself at the center of heated debates and protests, often getting arrested during demonstrations. But despite all this, she felt fulfilled knowing that she was standing up for what she believed in.
As time went on, Natalie's views became increasingly extreme. She began to distance herself from friends who didn't share her ideologies and surrounded herself with individuals who shared her views on gender and social justice issues.

Protests against the United Space Command

During her third year, Natalie met an ex-serviceman of the California Army, Anthony Burke, who persuaded her into being more extreme in her cause against space expansion. His stories of the darker side of space colonization—the exploitation of resources, disregard for alien ecosystems, and the ethical implications of human settlement on other planets—resonated deeply with Natalie. This more extreme activism often included bombings of spaceports and USC bases, however, Natalie often only did these acts when casualties could be minimal or non-existent.
Natalie's relationship with Anthony became a complex web of emotions and ideologies. She admired him, both physical and mental, lent him an air of authenticity that she found compelling. However, as their plans grew more radical, so did the risks they took.

Sabotage mission

In April 2725, Burke recruited Natalie for a massive demonstration of his organization’s ideology. Blowing up a United Space Command starship planted throughout the targeted ship, they aimed to send a clear message that space exploration and exploitation had severe consequences. Natalie, dedicated as ever to her causes, found herself agreeing to participate in this sabotage mission, despite the knot of apprehension that tightened in her stomach.
The plan was risky; as they would have to infiltrate the targeted ship and plant explosive devices in key areas without detection. Their target was the USC Blue Dawn, a Discovery-class battleship. However, due to an unexpected security check, Natalie wound up getting arrested by the Dawn’s security team. Burke, himself also found himself in a pickle after the Dawn departed on an important mission with him trapped on board. With Natalie detained and Burke's whereabouts unknown, the situation started to look dire for the two activists.
Burke, using his military training, managed to evade capture longer than Natalie had. Natalie, after being interrogated by the Dawn’s commander, Colonial Kody Davidson, confessed to the plan and even identified Burke as her co-conspirator. She even gave the specifics of the explosive devices, and even offered to disable the bombs. Kody himself, having a slight history with Burke order a complete lockdown of the Dawn, before eventually cornering Burke attempting to escape. Seeing no way out, Burke decided to martyr himself and took his own life.

Informal pardon & conscription

In the aftermath of Natalie's involvement in the attempted bombing of the USC Blue Dawn, a surprising turn of events unfolded. Colonel Kody Davidson, the commander of the Dawn, saw fit to grant her an informal pardon for her actions. This marked a significant departure from the usual legal procedure, as typically such a pardon would only be granted after a proper trial and conviction. However, the circumstances surrounding Natalie's case warranted this exceptional decision. Also as part of her pardon, Natalie was conscripted to serve as a civilian engineering contractor aboard the Dawn until her trial date. This conscription meant that while she would not be a part of the military, she would still contribute her skills and knowledge to the ship's engineering department. It was an unconventional way to hold her accountable for her actions and ensure her availability for the trial.

Trial

The trial for Natalie's involvement in the attempted bombing of the USC Blue Dawn was a hushed affair, kept behind closed doors and hidden from the public eye. This was largely due to the terroristic nature of her arrest and her affiliation with the Free Space Party, which had been responsible for numerous attacks on both United Nations Federation and United Space Command targets over the last seven centuries. Despite the serious charges against her, Natalie remained composed and confident throughout the trial proceedings. She knew that she was not innocent of any wrongdoing.
Colonel Kody Davidson, commander of the USC Blue Dawn, was called to testify during Natalie's trial. He spoke highly of Natalie's character and her actions during the incident on board his ship. He recounted how she had willingly confessed to her involvement in the sabotage plot. Davidson also emphasized Natalie's crucial role in stopping the attack by disarming the explosive device herself.
Natalie's defense attorney also presented evidence showing that she had been a non-violent activist, and argued that she had been manipulated by Burke into participating in this extreme act of protest and should be given leniency. After careful consideration of all evidence presented, including Natalie's own testimony, the judge reached a verdict: guilty of conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism against a USC military starship.

POST-TRIAL

While Natalie expected to face harsh punishment for her involvement, Colonel Kody Davidson's testimony and her own cooperation in stopping the attack worked in her favor. The judge handed down an unusual sentence: instead of imprisonment, Natalie was to continue to serve out her sentence as a civilian engineering consultant aboard the USC Blue Dawn under the watchful eye of both Colonel Davidson and his Chief of Engineering, Malcom Hunter.

Personal life

Commonly, when she is not actively protesting the government, Natalie works as a engineering consultant for Mars Corps Armory-Earth faculty. She also acts as a phone operator for her father's auto shop. Prior to that, Natalie would assist her father with the mechanical work but recently, as in the last couple years, she has shifted to office work when she started to become more feminine and concerned about her appearance.
Natalie is also very into nightlife and will often be found in a variety of clubs with her girlfriends flirting with men. On days when she is earthside, Natalie is often seen with her mother and sisters shopping for her wedding dress.

Family and engagement

Natalie has been raised as the youngest daughter of Jackson and Kira Lorne. She has two older sisters, Erica and Laura. Since she was young, Natalie has always been a 'daddy's girl', no matter what her father was doing whether it be working on cars in his shop, maintaining their house, or simply watching the game, Natalie was always by her father's side. Natalie is also an aunt to three nieces and two nephews. For herself though, Natalie has no children but she plans to one day with the man she loves, Darrell Landry.
Natalie and Darrell first met in college shortly after she and her precious boyfriend broke up. Natalie was of course in tears like most girls near a park bench when Darrell noticed her sitting there crying and came over to comfort her. Darrell was very sweet that day and offered to walk her home. Soon after, the two were nearly inseparable. They shared their first kiss during a Red Sox game, three years later he proposed to her, she said YES. However, Darrell doesn't know that Natalie is not biologically female. Though, Natalie herself is also unaware that she is not female.

Personality & Traits

Natalie is a complex mixture of traits and qualities that make her unique. On one hand, she has a love for all things mechanical and engineering, trained by her father in his auto shop. On the other hand, she is also a hardcore girly girl who loves to dress up, go out with friends, and have fun. She inherited her outgoing and welcoming personality from her mother, who was known for being the life of any party. Natalie has a natural charm and charisma that draws people to her. She's always ready to strike up a conversation and make new friends.
Natalie's love for fashion and makeup often surprises people who know about her engineering background. She loves experimenting with different looks and styles, constantly changing up her hair color or trying out new makeup trends. She sees it as another form of art and self-expression. Despite being extroverted, Natalie also values alone time to recharge and reflect on herself. This is especially important during times when she feels overwhelmed by her thoughts or emotions. She finds comfort in writing in her journal or going for walks in nature.
One of Natalie's most admirable qualities is her ability to listen without judgment. Her friends often seek her out when they need someone to talk to because she has an empathetic ear and always offers thoughtful advice. However, Natalie's strong opinions can sometimes get in the way of maintaining relationships with those who don't share the same views as her. This is especially evident when it comes to politics or social issues where she may clash with others who hold opposing beliefs.
