NAT
1. Are Natalie's parents dead?
UNDETERMINED. There's no evidence in the series either way.
2. Was Nat responsible for saving
vampires in Fever?
YES. LaCroix
makes it quite clear in this episode that Natalie had the power
to save vampires or let them die. LaCroix: "Why save
vampires? Why not let them die?"
3. Does Natalie
remember Nick kissing her in her apartment?
YES. The
night after Azure, Natalie tells Nick, "Alright, I don't
remember a thing from the time I stepped in the restaurant until
you took me home in the cab last night," establishing she
doesn't remember what happened at Azure. She also remarks,
"The whole day is just a b..." (blur assumed). Not only
is her remark open to interpretation, but time-wise it is outside
the scope of the apartment scene. The apartment scene took place
in the early evening at least one night before Azure -- *before*
the day that was a "blur". There's actually no evidence
that Natalie's memory is anything but normal regarding the
apartment scene.
4. Has Natalie ever saved Nick's life?
YES. Nick
was brain dead in Near Death. The guide told him that only the
humanity he desecrated could save him now, and Natalie was the
one who saved him. Although his spirit/consciousness may have
survived indefinitely in the ND land, he would be considered dead
dead by our standards.
5. Has Natalie ever witnessed Nick
killing someone?
YES. She
saw Nick kill her brother Richard in IWR, and vampire Spark right
on her bed (AMPH).
6. Has Natalie ever assaulted anyone?
YES. In
'Undue Process', she slapped the public attorney across the face
and in 'AMPH', she clobbered Spark with a pillar shaped vase
thingie.
7. Does Natalie believe in the
afterlife?
YES. In
'Near Death', she says, "Come on Nick, you know what I
believe. Is there an afterlife? Yes. Can we just knock on the
door and visit whenever we want? No."
8. Has Natalie seen any vampires
besides Nick?
YES.
Several of them - Richard, Spark, LaCroix, Janette, Screed,
Vachon, the Barber (Jack), Serena, Urs, Sophia, Inca, Ellen
(though not her vampire personality).
9. Has Natalie ever admitted to Nick
that he had evil in him?
YES. In
Francesca she said, "Because evil is a part of the human
condition, Nick. Curing you won't eradicate the evil in you, but
it will help you to control it."
10. Has Natalie ever removed bullets
from Janette?
YES. She
did this in AFWTD.
11. Is Natalie's birthday April 14th?
YES. Natalie
stated point blank in LK that her birthday was April 14th. While
there was evidence in OtL that her birthday was in the
"summer", there was also contradiction. Her desk
calendar was set at June, but the last date in her journal
(Nick's progress) clearly reads, "August 4th, 1991".
Both the August and June dates suggested in OtL left room open
for rationalizing (she had the pages of the calendar flipped, she
scribbled down the wrong date accidentally, etc.) whereas her
statement in LK was straightforward. If she had actually said
outright in OtL that her birthday was August 14th or June 25th or
whatever - that's another story, like Schanke's mother-in-law -
evidence of equal weight, and the result would be
"Undetermined".
