Nat Freidar

Natalya "Nat" Freidar joined the DMS on March 10 or 11. She is written by Cassie Cameron-Young.

Backstory
Nat Freidar was recruited by an Agent who had ended up in the Real World, having been requested to fix said Agent's broken RA. She did this with no particular problem, and then asked for a demonstration of what it did. Having shown her, the Agent then recruited her. After being introduced to the Marquis de Sod, Nat was assigned a post in the DMS and was sent off to collect her equipment. On the way, she met a mini-Balrog named Giml and, after making a few enquiries, discovered that he was never adopted. On offering to adopt him, she was glomped by the little demon and thus ended up with several minor burns.

The pair hit it off right away with their partners Cassie and Greenlead, although tempers became rather frayed at times during the lockdown. Nat, thanks to her Star-Trek-obsessed dad, understood the dangers of the macrovirus and was responsible for securing the RC.

When the emergency ended, Nat was more inclined to stay put until they knew it was safe, but the lure of ‘Sue-killing and her sense of responsibility were enough to get her out of the RC. She was rather reluctant to go down to the Tomb of the Unknown PPC Agent when invited, but went anyway, despite being offered the chance to stay somewhere safe.

Appearance
She has a fairly high metabolism, which she uses as an excuse to snack often. Her physical appearance supports this, as she is 6’0” and very skinny. She has boyishly short, dark blonde hair and grey eyes. She is also quite strong, which helps when she has to pin Cassie or particularly awkward 'Sues down.

Personality
She is quite laid back, but if annoyed she can hold grudges. Instead of getting frustrated at absurdities, she tends to laugh at them, and usually looks for the funny side of everything. When danger threatens, however, she will focus on it, having a good survival instinct and a form of rationality that tends to balance her partner’s erratic behaviour - if she is not persuaded otherwise (as in the case of the All-HQ AIRQ League).

She enjoys listening to music, especially R&B and dance music, and plays computer games almost obsessively, being very attached to her Gameboy. She is also very good with electronics and will happily spend hours tinkering with one thing or another. However, if a bit of machinery refuses to work, Nat’s temper will quickly deteriorate and she may end up throwing said technology at the nearest hard surface.

One thing that never fails to spark her interest is the use of weapons, especially sharp pointy ones; she’s much better with the sword than the bow, but will use anything to hand. While her knowledge of the Canon is not particularly extensive, she gets by, partly by relying on other people or the nearest copy of the books. She likes violence, but will willingly restrain her partner when she gets aggressive at the wrong time.

Other
Nat is Welsh. She has one pet, the mini-Balrog Giml. During the Massacre at the Tomb of the Unknown PPC Agent, Giml apparently got into an argument with Greenlead over who had fought the most 'Sues.
