Good morning, everybody! I'm Lex, and I'm considering bringing in this girl here, if all goes as planned, as sort of a complement to another potential character (see Kelli's post). I haven't really started to work on her yet, but I do have a few things down in my mind: She was a transplant to Rycade in her sophomore year of high school, which was where she met and fell in love with her next door neighbor, Mason. They got married at an early age, right after graduation. She was barely eighteen at the time, but for awhile, the sun rose and set with Mason. Eventually, she got the urge to move away from Rycade, she and Mason ended up divorcing (at her initiation), and she accepted a scholarship to Tulane University in New Orleans, so she left Rycade to pursue her dreams -- not realizing, at the time, that she was pregnant. She ended up keeping that from Mason after she found out, although I haven't worked out why, exactly, yet. But after all of these years, Natalia's become of the mindset that Mason deserves to know his son and his son deserves to know his father, so she would be moving back to Rycade for that purpose. Also, she'd have just turned 25, and she's part Spanish, part Native American, not that the latter matters so much.

Since two connections are needed for new applicants, I was hoping you guys could help me out with that, especially since the one she'd have doesn't technically count. I did have one idea for a possible connection if anyone's interested -- maybe someone she became best/fast friends with while she was in Rycade before, someone she would have kept in touch with over the years, but would have either kept her son a secret from or sworn the friend to secrecy. So if that sounds interesting to you, let me know, but otherwise, I would be open to any/all connection suggestions/ideas!

And I'm sorry for being long-winded with that, haha.
