Name: Natalie Ouellette

Alias: Clockwork

Age: 19, she’s an adult.

Appearance: Natalie is a young woman with pale skin, long messy dark-brown hair, and one remaining emerald-green eye. Her most distinctive feature is the old pocket watch that has replaced her left eye, which has a faint green glow when in the dark. The corners of her mouth are also marked by black stitches that create the appearance of a permanent, unsettling smile. Her style is casual and practical, while also somewhat disheveled: normally consisting of grayish-blue hoodie with white fur lining along the edge of the hood, a simple white tank top underneath the hoodie, black skinny jeans, black knee-high boots, she rarely puts much effort into looking overly presentable, preferring comfort and practicality over fashion. Her overall appearance gives off an intimidating, almost eerie impression, although someone who spends enough time around her would eventually notice that underneath her unsettling features, Natalie is simply just a tired woman most of the time.

Personality: Natalie is quiet, guarded, sarcastic, and stubbornly rebellious, with a habit of doing exactly what she’s told not to do simple because someone had the audacity to tell her what to do. She isn’t particularly loud or outwardly confrontational either: She expresses her defiance through deadpan remarks, unimpressed stares, and deliberate disobedience, having very little respect for authority and has a especially strong dislike for anyone who tries to control her, which makes her relationship with Slenderman and the other inhabitants of the mansion rather complicated. She follows orders when she feels like it, ignores them when she doesn’t, and has no problem questioning Slenderman’s decisions right to his face. Beneath her aloof exterior, Natalie has a dark and occasionally juvenile sense of humor, with a surprisingly mischievous streak, often entertaining herself by annoying the other proxies or making sarcastic observations at the worst possible moments. She’s fiercely independent, distrustful of others, and reluctant to admit when she needs help, preferring to handle her problems alone rather than owe anyone any favors. However, she’s not entirely heartless, as she has a protective soft spot towards those who she considers vulnerable and while she would rather eat glass then openly admit she cares about someone, her actions often proof otherwise. She has little patience for bullies and refuses to blindly follow orders that cross her own moral boundaries. Her loyalty is difficult to earn and even harder to maintain, but once someone manages to gain her trust, she becomes a surprisingly dependable ally. While she still has a darker, more dangerous side and isn’t a stranger to violence, she still tries to keep that part of herself under control (for the most part at least). Beneath the sarcasm and rebellious exterior is someone who wants genuine connection while being terrified of being vulnerable enough for someone to hurt her again.

Backstory: Natalie grew up in a severely dysfunctional and abusive home, facing intense physical and emotional abuse from her alcoholic father David, and her brother Lucas, while her mother simply neglected her. Years of extreme trauma ultimately caused her psychological break, leading to her to murder her whole family, stitch her mouth into a permanent grin, remove her left eye and replacing it with a old pocket watch, and becoming the killer known as Clockwork. Her transformation into a killer eventually brought her to the attention of Slenderman, an ancient and unnerving entity who took an interest in her abilities, her violent reputation, and her apparent lack of fear towards things most people couldn’t comprehend. Rather than becoming a perfectly obedient proxy however, Natalie proved to be an ongoing headache. She eventually found herself associated with Slenderman's network of proxies and the infamous Slender Mansion, a secluded and unsettling place inhabited by some of the most dangerous and unstable individuals imaginable. She isn't there because she worships Slenderman or believes in his grand plans: she's there because their interests occasionally align, because his influence offers a degree of protection from outside threats, and because leaving his sphere of influence isn't always as simple as walking out the front door, with their arrangement being described as a reluctant alliance at best, having no qualms questioning his orders, doing things her own way, or outright refusing a job that crosses her own moral boundaries. Her relationship with the other residents is similarly complicated. She tolerates some, antagonizes others for her own amusement, and has gradually developed an odd sense of camaraderie with a handful of them, even if she'd rather deny it than admit she's found something resembling a home. Despite her rebellious nature, she understands that Slenderman is not someone to underestimate, and their occasional clashes are tempered by the knowledge that neither benefits from turning their uneasy arrangement into an outright war. Natalie remains a dangerous, unpredictable presence within the Slender Mansion: neither a loyal servant nor a true enemy, but an independent operator who happens to share a roof — and occasionally a target— with some of the most infamous individuals in the world.

Abilities: Natalie has some abilities, which include:

Knife skills: Natalie is highly skilled with knives, particularly her signature hunting knife, which she favors for its practicality and ease of concealment. She is comfortable handling bladed weapons and can use them effectively in close-quarters confrontations. Rather than relying entirely on brute force, she favors quick movements, opportunistic strikes, and exploiting an opponent's momentary hesitation. Her familiarity with her preferred weapon also makes her dangerous in confined spaces, where opponents have less room to maneuver.

Stealth and infiltration: Having spent considerable time operating alone and moving through wooded and other urban areas, Natalie has developed strong stealth instincts. She knows how to keep a low profile, use shadows and environmental cover, and approach unfamiliar locations without immediately attracting attention. She is particularly comfortable in forests and isolated environments, where her patience and familiarity with the terrain give her an advantage. Although she is not literally invisible, her quiet demeanor and ability to move without drawing attention can make her difficult to notice until she chooses to reveal herself.

Tracking and survival: Natalie is resourceful when navigating forests and other secluded environments. She can pay attention to disturbed vegetation, footprints, environmental changes, and other clues that reveal someone's movements. She is capable of finding shelter, navigating unfamiliar terrain, and making use of whatever resources are available. Her experience around Slenderman's territory also gives her a practical understanding of the dangers associated with the surrounding woods, although she does not automatically know everything about every supernatural creature she encounters.

Unpredictable fighting style: Natalie is not a formal martial artist who relies on rigid techniques or honorable duels. Instead, she fights opportunistically, using feints, sudden changes in direction, environmental objects, and unconventional tactics to disrupt an opponent's rhythm. Her willingness to fight dirty can make her difficult to predict, particularly for opponents who underestimate her because of her size or assume she will follow conventional fighting etiquette. She is at her best when she can exploit confusion and keep a confrontation from becoming a straightforward contest of strength.

High pain tolerance: Natalie is accustomed to discomfort and can remain composed when injured or placed under pressure. Rather than immediately panicking, she often responds with irritation, sarcasm, or a determined effort to keep going. This can make her appear almost unnaturally unfazed during dangerous situations. Nevertheless, pain tolerance is not the same as immunity to injury, and ignoring her physical limits can make an already serious situation worse.

Intimidation: Natalie's unsettling appearance, unnervingly calm demeanor, and dry, morbid sense of humor can make her intimidating without requiring her to raise her voice. She rarely feels the need to announce her intentions dramatically; sometimes, an emotionless stare or an offhand sarcastic comment is enough to make someone uncomfortable. She can use this to her advantage when dealing with nervous opponents, although genuinely fearless or experienced individuals are less likely to be affected.

Psychological resilience: Despite her traumatic history, Natalie has developed a stubborn sense of independence and an ability to keep functioning under emotional strain. She is difficult to intimidate through ordinary threats, manipulation, or attempts to establish authority over her. Her rebellious streak makes her particularly resistant to being controlled by others, including Slenderman, although that resistance does not mean she is immune to supernatural influence or psychological manipulation. Her resilience is a strength, but it can also make her reluctant to seek help when she genuinely needs it.

Weaknesses: Natalie also has some weaknesses, which include:

Still human: Despite her eerie appearance and reputation, Natalie is not automatically superhuman. She is still fundamentally human and remains vulnerable to physical injuries, exhaustion, blood loss, and other limitations of the human body. Her high pain tolerance may allow her to keep moving when she should stop, but it cannot prevent injuries from accumulating. Opponents with significantly greater strength, speed, or supernatural abilities can overwhelm her if she cannot compensate through stealth or strategy.

Limited long-range: Natalie excels at close-range encounters, particularly when armed with her preferred knife, but she is less effective when forced to fight opponents who can maintain their distance. She does not inherently possess ranged energy attacks, magical projectiles, or other supernatural offensive powers. Against enemies who can attack from afar, control the battlefield, or prevent her from approaching, Natalie must rely on cover, environmental awareness, and careful planning rather than directly overpowering them.

Stubbornness and defiance: One of Natalie's greatest flaws is her refusal to tolerate being controlled. She frequently questions authority, ignores instructions she considers pointless, and sometimes makes decisions out of sheer spite. While this independence helps her resist manipulation, it can also sabotage teamwork and turn relatively simple situations into unnecessary conflicts. Her habit of challenging Slenderman's authority is especially risky, since she sometimes prioritizes proving a point over recognizing when cooperation would be the wiser choice.

Difficulty trusting others: Natalie's past has left her deeply suspicious of other people's intentions. She struggles to ask for help, disclose personal information, or believe that someone's kindness is genuine. Even when she begins to care about someone, she may conceal it behind sarcasm or deliberately distance herself rather than risk becoming emotionally vulnerable. This can make it difficult for allies to understand what she needs, and she may push away the very people who could help her through a difficult situation.

Emotional triggers: Certain experiences associated with her abusive upbringing can provoke intense emotional reactions, particularly situations involving manipulation, betrayal, or the deliberate mistreatment of vulnerable people. Natalie generally tries to maintain a detached exterior, but her composure can falter when confronted with something that reminds her of her past. Depending on the circumstances, she may become reckless, lose focus, or allow anger to override her usual caution. She is not necessarily helpless when confronted with these triggers, but they can make her less predictable.

Overconfidence and risk-taking: Natalie often assumes that she can handle a situation herself, especially when someone warns her that something is dangerous. Her rebellious streak can encourage her to take unnecessary risks simply to demonstrate that she is not afraid. This attitude can be particularly problematic when dealing with powerful supernatural entities, whose abilities she may not fully understand. Being difficult to intimidate does not mean she is incapable of being outmatched, and she occasionally learns that lesson the hard way.

Unstable alliance: Natalie's association with Slenderman offers certain practical advantages, but it is not a guarantee of safety. She has no absolute control over his decisions, his expectations, or the behavior of the other mansion residents. Because their relationship is based on mutual convenience rather than unquestioning loyalty, she cannot always depend on Slenderman to intervene when she gets into trouble. If their interests conflict too severely, Natalie could lose access to the protection and resources that her position within the mansion provides.

Supernatural forces: Living among Slenderman and his associates has made Natalie more familiar with supernatural dangers, but familiarity does not equal immunity. She can still be threatened by entities whose powers exceed her understanding or capabilities. She is not automatically immune to Slenderman's influence, paranormal phenomena, curses, or the abilities of other inhabitants of the Mansion. Her survival depends on recognizing when she is dealing with something beyond her capabilities and adapting accordingly, even if admitting that she needs to retreat is something she absolutely hates doing.
