Natasha Nicole Keller

She's almost exclusively called 'Nat' in OOC, but she hates that nickname; if anyone gets the privilege of calling her by a nickname, she prefers 'Tasha'.

Curls on curls, but perfectly styled and never tangled.

Natasha's two favorite colors are black and silver, and it can be found in abundance throughout her clothing, her home, and her business. When out in public, you will never see her out and about in anything that can be considered "business casual" or less; she is always in heels and a pantsuit or heels and a dress. The important thing is that she looks the part of the rich and powerful, because she is, and she won't let you forget it.

Natasha has two lives: a professional one, and a personal one. Unlike most people, she spends most of her time in her professional one than her personal one. Everyone is a potential business contact, whether as a client or a supplier for the business.

She is constantly in professional mode, smooth speech, a ready smile, attentive, hair and makeup and clothes as perfect as possible. She is flexible, molding herself to be whatever the person is speaking to needs her to be; cold, flirty, laid-back, motherly, aloof, whatever.

Her personal life she tends to keep shrouded in mystery; it's very rare someone will find her laughing over drinks with a friend or enjoying a day off with a lover. Very few can or will see that side of her.

• Lap dogs


• Bubble baths


• Fashion shows (the reality TV kind is a guilty pleasure, but she has been known to fly to Paris or Milan for an actual show)


• Spa days with an expensive bottle of wine

• The nickname 'Nat'


• Getting dirty


• Insects/Bugs


• Anything rural, outdoorsy, or the wilderness

Focused - Natasha knows who she is and what she wants out of life, and you can bet she's going to get it. Put her on the scent and she is a bloodhound; she never wavers from the goal. There are very few who can be as focused and intent on a goal as her.

Intelligent - Natasha has well-rounded intelligence. She is book smart, street smart, and well trained in the art of common sense. She is a jack of all trades in that sense, knowing a little about everything, and makes herself well-versed in subjects when she needs to be. She also speaks French and Spanish fluently in addition to English.

Professional - The professional world is Natasha's home. She was bred in the upper class elite societies. She will always look and act the part of a business professional. Messy things like emotions or personal attachments won't be an issue with her.

Ruthless - Natasha will do anything and everything to get whatever she wants whenever she wants it. She is not accustomed to facing roadblocks or challenges she can't overcome. Get on her side or get the hell out of her way.

Stubborn - In the same vein, once Natasha is set on a goal, a person, an opinion, a business venture, or anything else, good luck getting her off of it. Once she's decided on something, she will not budge from it until the precise moment of her choosing. You might as well attempt to move a mountain.

Detached - Natasha has a hard time forming personal relationships. She treats everyone and everything as if there is six degrees of separation between her and the person or object she is interacting with. It can be very difficult for her to drop her walls and bond with anyone on a personal level.

Bisexual

Natasha has very few personal relationships; even her close friendships stem from business connections first. She keeps people at a distance unless they are clients, employees, contacts, or have some sort of potential to become one of the three. It would take a lot to strike up a friendship with her, but I would love to have someone try!

Natasha's line of work means she's always in harm's way. She is an aware human in a supernatural world, with a company that plays both the good and the bad and the in between. I am sure that she has enemies, enemies of her family or her business or herself personally, and I would love to plot something out! So far she's had a cushy and comfortable life and it would be fun to change that.

While she has no plans to marry, Natasha is not above enjoying personal pleasures. She is entirely capable of maintain work relationships or having some fun when she can. Lovers are a yes, but she's not seeking anything overly serious. All her relationships do benefit business in some way.

Father: Natasha has no idea who her real father was and really has no interest in knowing
Mother: Lydia Vronsky-Keller, worked as a concubine for supernaturals, met and married a sorcerer
Stepfather: Charles Keller, politician, powerful sorcerer
Step Brother (Older): Viktor Keller, raised by Natasha's mother
Half-Brother (Younger): Adrian Keller
Half-Brother (Youngest): Myles Keller

Natasha has two proteges who are in charge of the other Nightfall branches, and whom she treats as if her daughters - Joan Walsh, Branch Director of the Snow Haven branch, and Morgan Devereaux, Branch Director of the Kiri branch.

Meet Natasha! Natasha is a wealthy and powerful aware human who owns Nightfall, a business that caters its services to only supernaturals. Her mother was the wife and concubine for a powerful sorcerer and politician, and so Natasha was adopted into the family as a stepdaughter. She was raised in a wealthy and powerful household and then went on to become wealthy and powerful herself.

Natasha's origins are shrouded in mystery. Her mother, Lydia Vronsky, came from nothing; a second generation Russian immigrant's daughter with no money or education to her name. It is well rumored she was a prostitute in New Mexico starting as early as 15, selling her body to anyone who was willing to pay for it. But Lydia, albeit poor and trapped in a vicious cycle, had two things going for her: she was both beautiful and bloodthirsty. She knew of the supernatural underground, and knew how to pull herself up to the top: as a concubine for supernaturals such as sorcerers who wanted children without the marital attachments.

Natasha was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, her mother's home town; who her father was Natasha has no idea, and suspects neither does her mother. Her birth along with her formative years were never spoken about, and Natasha has no desire to know. As it were, she was three when her mother met Charles Keller, a councilman for the city of Phoenix, Arizona who was already married with a wife and child, Viktor, who was only two years older than Natasha.

As it turned out, Charles' first wife could no longer bear children, and Charles - a sorcerer - would only have one son to continue his legacy. Charles was a cunning politician from a long line of sorcerers and statesmen; he had dreams of his family becoming the next Kennedys, rising into political power all over the nation. Without any other children that dream could not continue. Lydia worked her way into the marital cracks: if he took her on as his concubine, she promised as many children as he desired.

Charles and Lydia turned out to be a match made in heaven, the two complimenting their cunning and ambition, and when Lydia became pregnant after a short time together he did her one better: he divorced his first wife, took full custody of his son, married Lydia, and adopted Natasha as his daughter, although growing up he was still considered her stepfather. Charles was a powerful sorcerer, and Lydia's back story transformed into a family of war heroes who fled Soviet Russia to help the United States during the Cold War, rather than the destitute concubine she really was. With his magic, no one would ever be the wiser.

From that moment on, Natasha was raised in a stunning mansion in the elite district of Phoenix, alongside Viktor and her two younger brothers, Adrian and Myles. They were raised among the rich and the powerful, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's finest and US Congressmen on a regular basis from the time Natasha was 5 years old. Charles would rise through the ranks to become Mayor of Phoenix and then a State Senate member, gradually setting his eyes on Governor of Arizona, and then the US Congress.

Money was never an object; Natasha grew up surrounded in lavish fineries. She and her brothers went to the most expensive private schools money could buy, where classes like horse dressage and social etiquette classes were mandatory, and the education was on par with those the royalty in Europe received. Nothing that was not designer entered their home, furniture or clothes, and the family frequently held or attended huge social gatherings on a weekly basis.

In addition to all the political influence Natasha was raised in, she was constantly surrounded by magic. Sorcerers came and went from her stepfather's house all the time, and Charles brought in the best sorcerers to teach his sons. Still, it was a backdoor affair, and something that bothered Natasha as she was growing up. She understood the need for secrecy, but it seemed silly for a family that appeared so powerful to have to hide some of its more powerful features.

Natasha graduated her private high school as Salutatorian and decided to attend college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to get a degree Business Administration. She graduated four years later and decided to stay in Las Vegas to open up a business there rather than return to Phoenix. She opened Nightfall as a club when she was 22 in a rundown warehouse, with the intent to turn it into a hub for supernaturals in the area. It quickly became a hot tourist destination, and over the next few years expanded into a legitimate supernatural business acting as a catering service, with clubs and office buildings all over the city.

By the time she hit 30, Natasha was a wealthy business owner with a thriving business both in the human world and the supernatural underground, and she began looking into expansions. So far Nightfall's presence, while known around the world in a vague capacity, was located only in the Southwest United States. First she wanted to expand the business into the Northwest, then expand east and overseas at the same time.

She set her pin down on a small, nowhere town in Montana to become the gateway to the Northwest: Bear River, Montana. An apparent hotbed for supernatural activity, but small and inconspicuous, even with a serial killer running amok. Natasha arrived and opened up the Nightfall branch in November of 2013.

When that branch inevitably failed, and Bear River was destroyed, it was back to the drawing board - only this time Natasha stayed behind in Vegas and sent her proteges out to open the new branches. Morgan Devereaux was sent to Kiri, Florida in late 2016, and Joan Walsh was sent to Snow Haven, Alaska in 2018.

Human, but aware from the time that her mother married her stepfather.

Having been raised in a powerful and influential magical household, Natasha has known all about all the species from the time she was adopted by Charles Keller. Her work in Nightfall has only increased this knowledge. She often impresses with her knowledge, as a Human.

Natasha can always be found with a silver charm bracelet in the shape of a snake on her wrist; it is a Victorian era antique, almost pure silver, gifted to her by her stepfather once she graduated from college and opened Nightfall. It is charmed so that it becomes hot to the touch whenever a supernatural creature is within about ten feet of her person, and it will also glow faintly, though to most it will seem a trick of the light.
