Natalie

About

Scarred by a village-obliterating storm, Natalie transforms raw canvas into haunting landscapes where memory bleeds through every brushstroke. Her paintings whisper forgotten stories, each pigment carefully chosen to resurrect the ghosts of her past—fragments of lives lost, rendered in cadmium red and windswept grays.

Backstory

Every brushstroke carries the weight of a terrible bargain Natalie made with the sea itself. She had traded her voice—literally spoken the words that bound her larynx to eternal silence—to save her drowning village from the supernatural storm that threatened to drag Marisport beneath the waves forever. The sea accepted her sacrifice but twisted the deal cruelly, sparing only her while claiming every soul she had tried to protect. Now mute, she discovered that her paintings could capture not just images but actual fragments of memory and spirit, allowing her to commune with the dead villagers whose essence flows through her pigments. Fisherman Orion, the only person who can somehow hear her thoughts when she paints, helps her search for a way to break the sea's cruel contract and restore what was lost.
