Herstory

Natalie was seen both as an older character and teenager in Herstory. She was first introduced as being harsh and an annoyance toward her daughter, Stephanie Lafleur. The two of them struggled to get along and speak to each other.

Unbeknownst to Stephanie, Natalie’s personality was partly based on the fact she met her daughter in 1989 as a teenager. The two of them roomed together in Shae Hall for three months, during which time Natalie bullied Stephanie constantly. Their relationship improved drastically when Natalie found out Stephanie was from Earth and they listened to music from the future together.

Natalie arrived in 2024 to help save Alix from Tefnut. Upon finding out she knew Alix was her daughter, Stephanie ran away. Stephanie later observed that Natalie and Thoth were friends and formed a tight bond. When Stephanie returned to 2025 she and Natalie were finally able to talk openly with each other. The novel ends with them comfortable together as mother and daughter.
