Natalie (sometimes called Nat) was a Dorley girl who survived Grandmother’s programme. She sponsored Jane.

In the programme

Like most others in Grandmother's Dorley, Natalie likely came from a disadvantaged background and was picked up by the Hall following a minor offense. ^[SD 31]

Of the survivors liberated in 2004, Natalie had the most difficulty adapting to the programme and was the closest to being shipped out. ^[SD 31]

Trish and Natalie seem to have been a bonded pair in the basement. ^{[SD 31]}

As a sponsor

On December 24, 2004, after being liberated in Elle and Beatrice's takeover of the Hall, Natalie was present at the first planning meeting for what would become the modern Dorley programme. Natalie balked at the proposal to restart the programme under Beatrice's direction and departed the Hall with Teri. ^[SD 31]

Jane

Despite her initial rejection of the concept, it appears that Natalie changed her mind at some point and became a sponsor. Ashley recognizes Jane as "Nat's girl" at the 2019 Christmas Eve party. ^[SD 31]

Jane recalls discussing possible names for herself with Natalie and her being present during her orchiectomy and holding her hand. ^[SD 49]
