[hider=Natalie's History] History: Natalie Selena Brooks was born in Ruby Banks, in her family's home, which is a two-bedroom house on 26th Jadeyan, 286 DM to her mother Becky Nyssa Brooks and her father Flinn Jayme Brooks. She was born a very healthy and strong baby girl. Natalie had her mother eye color and her hair color of blonde and hazel eyes.

When Natalie turned 3 years old, was listening to her mother's musical voice, since her mother was singing her a lullaby. Natalie started to speak, at this age when her mother was dancing while playing her flute. Her mother took her daughter to her room to go to sleep since she did yawn but she loved her daughter's first words. Natalie slept peacefully dreaming about her family being a happy family still.

3 Years later, Natalie first met her childhood friends like right after her birthday on 27th Jadeyan, 292 DM. These two girls were Irene L. Crestfell and Sofia R. Crestfell; their father Ruben N. Crestfell brought them to the Brooks' Family residence to speak to Natalie's Father Flinn. Natalie was inside when these three knocked on the door, since she was told to draw or paint something with the tools, her mother had out for her daughter. Her mother went to the door and sighed somewhat at the fact Ruben was here but was happy to see his two daughters with him. Her mother went outside to talk to Ruben for a bit. Irene and Sofia walked up to Natalie and wanted to play hide-and-seek and do some flips outside instead of the thing that Natalie was doing. 

Natalie was smiling very nicely towards, Irene and Sofia and wanted to play outside but she likes painting or drawing. She got up from her seat working on a drawing of her family. Her mother looked in and noticed she wanted to go out to play and allowed this. Natalie went outside and did some front flips, even though she was slightly wobbly about it since she was slightly into running and walking type of things. Natalie and the other two girls decided to play tag after that. The two parents were smiling at their children having fun because of that Becky decided to sing about her daughter finally met two friends. Irene, Sofia, and Natalie stopped playing and went to hear Becky sing since she has an epic singing voice. After the song, Irene and Sofia left with their father back home since he got the information he needed from Becky. Natalie went back inside of her family's home and went on drawing and painting as she was before she went to play with the two others. 

3 years later, Natalie was 9 years old and she was helping her mother around the house cleaning and setting the table for dinner since she was watching her mother cook, a meal. This was at night since it was almost time for her father to come home from work from the Brooks Family Wares and Bargains, which he created. Flinn came home with a present for his daughter. Natalie was sitting at the table and saw her father walk in the house. Flinn sat down the box in front of his daughter since and went into the kitchen to help his wife get the food here quicker. Natalie looked at the box and opened it up and it was a Flute, with her name inscribed on it. Natalie happily smiles at this, gets up, hugs her dad for the present, and goes back sitting at the kitchen table. Flinn did hug his daughter back when she went to hug her.

Natalie picked up her flute, looked at the designs on it, which looked well crafted. Becky walked into where her daughter was, at the dinner table, and she had her daughter's food on it. Natalie looked at the food and was hungry, but was intrigued by this present her father gave her. Becky walked towards the wall, where her flute is, walked to her daughter, and showed her how properly to play the flute. Natalie smiled at her mother and started try out the pattern she sees her mother does, she is not that good since this is her first time doing this. Her mother does have a slight giggle in her voice at her daughter's first time with a flute since they always wanted to give her one, just with them both working at different times of day usually mess their plans up. Natalie puts her flute back in the box it came in, put it on her lap, and moves the plate of food in front of her.

The family sits down for dinner and they say prays, to the kingdom, since the kingdom and knights protect all of the citizens. After that, they eat dinner, and it was a beautifully crafted dinner by her mother. After the food is finished, they go to the front of the house and they start playing a game called counting since Flinn wants his daughter to know math. Natalie loves this time with her parents since they are both well versed in certain things. Natalie usually looks at the short sword, which is on the wall since that is her fathers. Her father usually tells her stories of his travels and she loves each ones even though they are slightly lighthearted adventures since he does not want to scar his daughter at all, with what really happened, when he was an adventurer. Natalie was yawning since she needs to sleep and kisses her mother and father on the cheek and goes to bed. 

4 years later, Natalie turns 13 years old and that was a wonderful event since she had tons of people from all over Ruby Banks to try to woo her on picking their job to become an apprentice. However, she already wanted to be an apprentice for her father's merchant business, which was the Brooks Family Wares and Bargains. She got something from her father and mother, since they wanted their daughter to defend herself from wild beasts, if she goes traveling; it was a Light Crossbow and at least 10 crossbow bolts. The crossbow had her initials inscribed on it by her mother, which are NSB, Natalie Selena Brooks. Natalie gave her father and her mother a hug and looked at it slightly confused but her father taught her the basics of loading it, firing it, without it having anything in it. 

Natalie and her father went to work together since she is going to be her father's apprentice. She was told a certain motto of the business; it was the better bargains always make every side happy. Her father was slightly proud of his business. Natalie had her heads in the clouds again; her imagination was wild since she was growing. She had many different things on her mind; however, she will totally enjoy working with her father at his business since she was told young to always believe in herself and you will make it far in the business or anything she does. Natalie walked in after her father to the Brooks Family Wares and Bargains and saw many things, she recognized as stuff, her father usually agonize over when it did not sell or was wasted since no one bought it. The Cloth was slightly harder to sell since it was specialized to be worn by nobles, other such folk, but his friend Ruben sold it to him. Natalie was the shining beacon, which Flinn needed to sell these clothes since this Merchant store was getting kinda of crowded. Natalie walks around the store, saw it very clean, and noticed many different musical instruments and nicer quality things including a similar colored short sword, which her father owns.

Natalie gets behind the counter, and looks at the trading list and interrupts her father, which was distracted. Flinn goes behind the counter and gently grabs the trading list from his daughter, and notices three special items; he ordered to make his shop slightly with much more choice. Flinn helped her to take inventory, to see if anything was missing and usually nothing is. Natalie was being trained, how her father trained himself to become a Merchant since the other thing he was doing was not fun anymore. She listened to her father very well and tried to smile throughout the whole time her father was training her, since he needs a pick me up. Sometime past, and her mother walked into the shared owned business since these two are partners. Her mother started to look around and walks up to the counter. Her mother talked to her husband for a bit and smiled gently at her daughter who was helping her father with merchant affairs, as an apprentice should.

Flinn walked his daughter into the back room, which was his office and the inventory that has not been put on the shelves yet. She looked at some of the inventory and noticed they are completely different from what it was in the front of the store. They had markings of some of the best Fletcher's in the empire and other such stuff like that. She eyed the office area, and it was somewhat cluttered and walked into it, noticed the Inventory list on her father's desk to the side of a picture, what she drew when she was much younger.

A year later, and she was slightly more comfortable with the apprenticeship with her father and she and her mother usually talks about certain thing while at work in between the customers coming in and out. Her father was taking inventory in another room. She mostly likes talking about the flute she has on her right at this moment since her parents did get it for her. On her breaks, she was practicing with the flute so she can sing with it and when she was home, she was training with her crossbow shooting at a target, which her father constructed behind the brooks family home. She would only train very sparingly since she did not want to overexert herself. The only real reason, why she got a crossbow last year was because, her father was skilled himself in archery and sword fighting, when he was training as an adventurer. She however highly enjoyed the working at the Brooks Family Wares and Bargains since it has her family name and was specifically great place to be and her mother usually keeps the place spotless. Her father is very proud of his daughter Natalie in figuring out how to properly work as a Merchant.
