Natalia wasn't a normal girl.

Normal girls played dolls and wore dresses. Natalia loathed these things all she wanted to do was explore the woods surrounding her village. She came to know every fallen tree, every noisy squirrel, and all of the woodland's secrets.

Her mother died when she gave birth to her and her father raised her. Her father was a woods guide who guided travelers through the forest to their destination. It was he who introduced the forest to her at a young age.

Eventually Natalia came to love the woods even more so than her father and went out everyday to uncover a new secret about it.

As the years grew on her father wasn't able to do his job so Natalia went for him to guide people through the many paths of the forest. Her Father got very sick and Natalia worked extra hard to earn enough to keep him alive but it wasn't enough.

After he died, she tried to live on her own and often went into the woodlands which seemed to comfort her and give her strength. Try as she might she couldn't live in this village which gave her false comfort and reassurance and turned to the woods.

She abandoned her home and went into the woods and started to live there. She soon became happy again but still sorrowed for her father in the back of her mind.
