NATALIE JUSTINE GILES

welcome to the end of humanity, so what's your name then?

my name's simple. it isn't anything outlandish. it is simply natalie justine and my surname is giles. i'm slightly ambivalent towards my first name. i hate it because it is very old fashioned and i sort of love it because i'm named after my beloved grandmother. many don't know that my real name is natalie because i tend to go by talia. my middle name, justine, is odd because i don't think it matches. perhaps i don't like the repeating "ja" sound or maybe i'm just being picky.

i really like that name. so how old are you, and when were you born?

you know you aren't really supposed to ask a lady what her age is it is considered very rude. i forgive you and i guess i'll tell you my age. i am thirty four years old and was born on december seventeenth.

lovely. so it's the end of the world, who do you belong to?

well, i'm part of the government. i personally think that connor williams and his regime are absolutely insane. i guarantee that if they went to a therapist they would be deemed mentally unstable.

that sounds just great. now in one word, how would you describe yourself?

i can't really describe myself in one word. that's nearly impossible. the human personality is made up of so many different characteristics that describing one's nature in one word isn't really conceivable. perhaps i can enthuse you all with my strongest characteristic. it is by no means my ONLY characteristic though. i'm theoretical. i like to produce theories and pick at truth. i often attempt to prove things wrong only because i'm that kind of a person. my theoretical nature tends to pertain only to my own beliefs. for example, even though the resistance has come up with just a mere theory i don't believe it. i actually am dead set on proving the theory wrong.

uh-huh, any big historic events you'd like to share?

i was born in princeton, new jersey. my parents were hannah and richard giles both successful doctors. my mother was a naturalized american. she immigrated to america when she was eighteen from dublin, ireland. my father's family came from athens, greece but he's american born. i'm a total mutt not that that really matters. my childhood is mainly a blur for me. i just recall living in princeton with my parents and practicing the piano. yes, i do play the piano and i play it very well actually. when i was eighteen my recital piece was the rachmaninoff prelude op.32 no.10. it was bloody hard but i played it damn well.

when i was ten years of age my father took me hunting in the countryside. he told me that no daughter of his would not be able to shoot something. i learned how to use a gun and everything and was a mighty good shot at that. my mother didn't really like the idea of me learning to shoot things. you see she was sort of liberal and my dad he was very conservative. family dinners were fun. but i liked shooting things and i still like shooting things especially if they are resistance members who are trying to murder me thinking it will save the human race. sorry went off on a spiel there.

in high school i was top dog. i was the girl who did everything. i sang, i played piano, i played softball and basketball, and i was academically heads and shoulders above everyone else. i graduated in the top ten of my class with a scholarship to princeton university. i majored in government and law and minored in american history. after college i went out in the world to seek employment.

my resume was absolutely fabulous. i had lots of extracurriculars and i knew four languages (english, spanish, latin, and french). after working a few months at odds and ends jobs i eventually got taken into a law firm and eventually made my way in life as a lawyer.

where was i when the bombs hit you ask. well, lets just say i was lucky. if i had waited a split second to go down into my basement to clean i would have been dead just like the rest of them. when i emerged everything had been destroyed and most of the population completely devastated. i was angry. i had known from the news about the resistance but i never thought they were that fanatic and crazy about destroying the human race. i wandered around surviving (my father had taught me survival skills and gun use as a young girl) and eventually found a group of people who were going off to apparently new york which was the safe haven. i joined the 'government' in hopes of fixing the mentally ill resistance group.

okay. last question: who's the face behind the character?

nicole kidman for playby and rachel for person :D
