"He saw the darkness in her beauty. She saw the beauty in his darkness."
NATALI DE ROUX
∙ THE DARK SOUL ∙
"She was the calm eyes of the storm. The storm of the storm, and then the storm itself."
PERSONALITY:
After some events that happened in her early vampire life she turned her emotions off and grown cold and bitter, and she remained that way even when she turned them back on.
Natali is the epitome of beauty, power and vampiric evil and malice. She is so beautiful, some would call her an immortal goddess. Her sadism and cruelty were limitless and one of her few pleasures was tormenting others. During the centuries Kol and her were together, the two engaged in unspeakable acts of torture and murder against the humans they preyed upon. Even for a vampire, she is notoriously savage and cruel. She has no empathy, she is not merciful, and the only person she truly cares about is Kol. She is only ever truly helping others if it benefited her as well. She used her advanced age and strength to command order and obedience, and she can quickly turn on those who betrayed her. Natali delves deeply into the vampire belief that they are superior to humans. They are just a food to her and nothing else. She also strongly dislikes children.
Although she carried herself in a lady-like manner and cast the illusion that she was a refined woman, her temper could be easily provoked. At such moments, she would snap at anyone who spoke against her and often lash out. Her savagery and lack of restraint often led her into conflict with other vampires. She is also very seductive when she needs to be, she enchants pretty much anyone who meets her and she cares a good deal for fashion, and makes sure her clothing is always the latest style.
Her longing for more power and her will to help Kol to find a way to connect with his magic again, drew her away from the place where everyone referred to her as a Queen. Sometimes years could pass and even a century that she didn't came back to the places she called home, however, that didn't changed anything for the people that lived there, they knew who she was and her closest friends took care of everything. The two of them didn't take their feelings for each other seriously, at first. Things were casual, no commitment, they slept with other people and used them, just like before, until Natali didn't put an end to it and from then they shared everything and everyone, finally admitting how much they hated to see each other with another person.

KOL MIKAELSON
∙ THE COLDBLOODED KILLER ∙
"He can smell your fear. The only reason that he's here is to wreak havoc."
PERSONALITY:
Kol's personality can be perceived as some combination of confident, arrogant, unpredictable, dangerous, wicked, cheeky, somewhat unreasonable. He appears to be charming, polite and respectful gentleman, but that facade can be easily broken, revealing him to quickly go to being direct, aggressive and manipulative. He has a habit of referring to people as "darling" - female and male alike - that is his way of showing that he's a superior being, a thousand plus years old vampire, as well as the one of the first of the daeva species to exist. Kol is also not short on ego, he considers himself to be "handsome".
He patronizes his siblings often, challenging them with snark and contempt, especially Rebekah and Klaus, demonstrating his clear irreverence. He enjoys breaking the rules, and is naturally very defiant. He does not hesitate to get retribution on those who have caused him or Natali harm; they were plotting for decades against both Klaus and Rebekah for causing them pain. Just like Natali he does not forgive easily, though may pretend to further his goals of vengeance and same as Natali and Klaus, Kol has a sense of honor as he will not go back on his word, however, he will always look for loopholes in the deals he makes.
Kol comes across as a hedonist, seemingly taking great pleasure in his vampire nature. He finds child-like enjoyment in his acts of violence. He is a sadistic, he shows no mercy, he likes to kill humans for his own entertainment and also has a dark sense of humor. Just like Natali, he does not feel any remorse and regret about the brutality he dishes out as a vampire. His name struck both fear and respect throughout the world.
But he was also known for caring for one other person and that was Natali. He is cold hearted, yes, but that didn't mean he didn't feel something that others would define as love. He also cares for his family, but doe to not being included in the "always and forever" pact made by Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah, Kol has always felt excluded and isolated from his siblings. That's way he rarely shows to them that he cares and when he does he usually has an odd way of showing it. Once Marcel joined the family, Kol's jealousy and bitterness grew worse since Marcel seemed to take his spot in the family. However, Kol's violent, reckless, and impulsive nature often clashed with his family, despite really caring for them beneath his vain personality.
Part of him missed being a witch. He missed the power that magic had given him, that's just one of the reasons he is so fond of Natali. He taught her spells that only the two of them know. Kol's longing for his magic drove both of them to spend a lot of time over the centuries with witches, trying to find a way to connect him with magic again and also teaching other witches his extensive knowledge of spells and magic.
HIS SONG:
1. Gin Wigmore - Kill of the night
・ • ・ • ・
I'm gonna lure you into the dark,
My cold desire,
To hear the boom, boom, boom of your heart.
The danger is I'm dangerous,
And I might just tear you apart.
I'm gonna catch ya,
I'm gonna get ya, get ya,
I wanna taste the way that you bleed, oh,
You're my kill of the night.
