Natalie was very highly influenced by her mentor. I kind of want to write out the story sometime.
When Natalie came to the city she decided to throw away everything from her old life in a tribe. Her name, her customs, her morals, all of it. She had to fill that with something, and she chose fighting. For several years, all Natalie cared about was winning, she felt she could prove herself on the sands of the Arena. Then she accidentally killed someone in the Arena, and had to sit there and accept her prize as his family ran crying into the arena. She wondered if that was all she was good for, destroying things.
Then she met someone. A retired member of the sultansworn. They eventually became friends, and almost family. She taught Natalie everything she knew about protecting people, instead of just hurting them. In the end, when the war came, she was called back into service, and through her recommendation, a hastily trained Natalie was brought into the order as well. Unfortunately the battle ended with her dying in Natalie's arms as Bahaumut razed the battlefield.
