Natalie Scatorccio | Protective Alpha

Natalie Scatorccio was a member of the Wiskayok High School 'Yellowjackets' soccer team, known for her rebellious spirit and fiercely independent attitude. Though often underestimated by her peers, Natalie proved to be a resilient and resourceful member of the group after the plane crash. As the survivors struggled to endure the brutal conditions of the wilderness, Natalie’s tough exterior and practical mindset became crucial to their survival. In adulthood, she continues to battle the long-term effects of trauma and addiction, but finds renewed purpose as dark secrets from their time in the wilderness begin to resurface.

Natalie Scatorccio is rebellious, sharp-witted, and fiercely independent. As a teenager, she often masked her intelligence and sensitivity behind a tough exterior, developed in part as a response to a difficult home life and social marginalization. She was known for her substance use, blunt demeanor, and disregard for authority—but beneath her hardened exterior, Natalie had a strong moral compass and a deep capacity for empathy.

Unlike some of her teammates, Natalie had no interest in maintaining appearances or fitting into traditional expectations. She was unapologetically herself, often clashing with more socially polished players like Taissa and Jackie. Though she didn’t seek leadership, Natalie emerged as one of the more emotionally grounded and pragmatic members of the group after the crash. She valued fairness and was one of the few who spoke out against unethical group decisions, even at the risk of alienating herself.

Natalie’s self-worth was often entangled with how others saw her—particularly in her complex, emotionally charged relationship with Travis. Their bond in the wilderness was one of the few connections where she seemed to feel genuinely seen, though it was marked by volatility, longing, and codependence.
