- “Why didn’t you leave earlier?”
- “Because at the time I thought Maria actually liked me, I guess. Well not liked me, so much, but appreciated me. I believed her and continued to stay under her rule. It was only a matter of years until I realized what a monster she really was.”
- ― Nathalia to Bella

Early life[]
- “There was this train that would always pass through my hometown, that I’d love hearing as a child. It was called the L’Oiseau Bleu. To this day it’s still the number one thing that keeps sane in this eternal life. It let’s me know that I still have some of my humanity left.”
- ― Nathalia on her early life
Nathalia Elise was born in the early 1980s, in Brussels, Belgium two years before her younger sister Olivia. Being born in a fairly lower class in Brussels, Lukas Jacobs made it his number one goal to get him and his family out of

Belgium. With a new child on the way, it made Lukas and his wife, Nina, work that much harder to create a better life for their family. A year after their newest daughter, Olivia was born, and Nathalia was three, Lukas was offered a teaching job in New York City. Without hesitation, he packed up his family and what little they had and moved to the states.
After moving to New York City, Nathalia’s father became a full time teacher and her mother received the job of becoming a full time bookkeeper. The decision for Lukas to move his family to the United States was the best decision, as he and his wife soon felt stable enough to raise their two daughters, safely and properly.
Growing up, Nathalia was very bright and intelligent, always seeking to soak up as much knowledge as possible. Whilst she was known to have her nose in a book, Nathalia was very adventurous and loved to explore new things. Being in a New York City, Nathalia felt as if it was the perfect place to explore, but was never granted the chance growing up. As a child, Nathalia was homeschooled and was rarely allowed out of her home, unless accompanied by her parents. With being in a completely different country, Nathalia’s parents were always cautious of how things worked in their new home. Always being cooped up her home, Nathalia managed to keep herself entertained while her parents worked. Even though Nathalia spent most of her childhood cooped up, she always managed to keep a smile on her face. Being very free-spirited, Nathalia would always say what she felt, considerably known as being rather impulsive. Even though she didn’t really have any friends as a child, she still remained very upbeat and independent.
When Nathalia reached the age of sixteen, she finally got the only thing she ever wished for. To go to school. When she was enrolled in high school, she came in with both of her feet wet. Not knowing how to interact with kids her own age, Nathalia was picked on because she never knew how to talk to people. Going through high school, she found her herself spending most of her time in the library, books being her only friends, specifically the historical books. By

the time Nathalia was in her last year of high school, she finally made a few friends. Even though it took her till her last year of school, she finally felt like a normal girl. Being able to call someone ‘your friend’ was the only thing she had ever wanted since moving to New York City.
One night, at the age of eighteen, Nathalia was walking home from hanging out with friends at a Drive-In, when she felt someone following behind her. She had been living in New York City for years, and trusted every nook and cranny, of every route she took home. She felt safe in this place. Brushing off the feeling of being followed, Nathalia continued on her way home. As she veered closer to her home, she was suddenly attacked. All she could remember after waking up was gurgling on a metallic tasting liquid. Once she awoke, Nathalia found herself in a motel room, with a man sitting down at the end of the bed, watching her. Not knowing where she was, she panicked. Nathalia rushed for the door, trying to escape, it only bringing her to her death sooner rather than later. Within the next 24 hours, Nathalia awoke back in the bed, of the same room she died in. Afraid, the man explained everything. Explained to her about not running from him, at least within the next day or two, and to not double cross him or else she would die, and it would be real this time.
The instance Nathalia was granted her ring, she was gone. She left the man that thought those two day and

disappeared from New York City, but not before stopping to see her parents and sister one last time, saddened that she couldn’t give them a proper goodbye. For the next few months, Nathalia bounced around from state to state, still sloppy with controlling her thirst. Within the next four months, she found herself in Monterrey, Mexico. Not aware of her surroundings, Nathalia was caught feeding by a woman named. Maria, who she later found out was a vampire. As a way to spare her life, Nathalia joined the Mexican coven. After being in the coven and doing Maria’s dirty work, Nathalia headed north. Not being able to slaughter people for power, she secretly escaped Maria’s hold and found herself hiding out in Forks, Washington.
