^{UPDATE (11/14/2021): Natalie got fixed up quite a bit. Her pose is similar to her previous one, but now she came with a couple of props. She has colors now, a different hairstyle, her clothes changed slightly, AND a brand new surname.[/s]}

Okay, this character is a doozy. She's one of those characters that has a minor role but her impact on the plot far outweighs her prominence considering that she's one of the parents of the protagonist of Project Timeless. Meet Natalie "Nat" Phoenix, a possum cowgirl from the Sunset Valley. Nat, and her brother Nate, came from a long family of rodeo entertainers and was the oldest sibling. She was going to continue with her career as a rodeo star until she met the man that would be her future husband, Owen. Owen's an aspiring traveling musician and, much like Nat, a drifter who was looking for a place to make some easy bucks. Nat and Owen struck a chord thanks to their love of music and romance soon blossomed after that. Despite how much she enjoys the guitar, the piano is her favorite instrument. that is until she one day met the man of her dreams. Nat is known for being a tough and rough girl, hence why she did the rodeo thing for so long, but Owen brought out the softer side in her, to the point that she was more than excited to start a family with him. Nat wanted to call the baby "Noah" since it would work as a name for either gender, and she wanted to teach her child how to play the piano since it could be a difficult instrument to learn, but she never got this chance. Natalie ended up passing away shortly after giving birth to Noah, at the young age of 27. This left Owen heartbroken, and Noah without ever being able to meet her mom.

This is why I say she's a major character despite participating very little in the plot- it's Noah's mom! She's been mentioned in passing, but now we get to see what she looks like. She does look like an older version of Noah, which is definitely intentional. She has notable physical differences but the similarities in her face and certain articles of clothing should show the resemblance. She could totally pass as an older sister for Noah. She's also rather youthful due to, again, sadly passing away at such a young age.
