Natalie is a Number Six copy who leads a faction advocating the search for the Final Five Cylons, believing that they have answers about the Cylons' origins and their place in the universe.

After the Raiders abort the Battle of the Ionian Nebula Natalie, a Number Two and a Number Eight approach Cavil with the suggestion, that the Final Five are with the humans in the refugee fleet. This is fully declined by Cavil. He suggests that only the Raiders are a problem, because they extended their original programming and now violate their orders to fight the refugee fleet.

The faction led by Natalie loses a majority vote to prevent dumbing down the Raiders by removing some of their free will through a surgical procedure. Natalie is further dismayed that Boomer voted against her model to side with Cavil, thus further endangering the tenuous balance of the Cylon decision making process.

After a last attempt to stop the Raiders' lobotomization, she orders two Centurions into the conference room and reports to the attendant Number One, Number Four and Number Five copies that they removed the telencephalic inhibitors, which prevent the Centurions from using their higher cognitive functions. The Centurions open fire and kill everyone supporting Number One (Six of One).

Natalie and two Number Eights meet with the resurrected Cavil to discuss the terms of ending the conflict. Cavil agrees to stop lobotomizing Raiders and to air Natalie's proposal to unbox the Number Three line before his compatriots. Later, Cavil informs Natalie's faction that their terms have been agreed to, and the fleet will jump to the nearest server to learn what the resurrected Threes know about the Final Five. This turns out to be a trap. The Resurrection Ship does not jump to the rendezvous point, and Cavil's baseships open fire on Natalie's fleet, inflicting heavy damage (The Ties That Bind), with Natalie's basestar being the only surviving ship from this engagement, however the ship's FTL drive is damaged beyond repair ("The Road Less Traveled", "Faith").

When Conoy returns with Kara Thrace, Sharon Agathon, Samuel Anders and Jean Barolay, Natalie is reluctant to take Thrace to the Hybrid, but ultimately agrees as they need the Colonials' help. When a Six—who had been drowned by Barolay on New Caprica and suffered resulting emotional trauma, despite aid from Natalie after the Six's resurrection—kills Barolay, Natalie kills the Six to appease the Colonials need for "justice", thus defusing a potentially explosive situation; the Six herself cannot resurrect, as the Resurrection Ship is still out of range.

Later, Natalie overhears the Hybrid's message to Thrace and she is further convinced that the Threes must be unboxed, for the Hybrid claims that she alone knows the faces of the Final Five. After helping comfort a mortally wounded Eight before her death, she leaves the Hybrid chamber to execute the jump, thus allowing her basestar to meet up with the Demetrius (Faith).

Notes

• The name "Natalie" stems from the Latin natalis (birthday), which could be a hint that she plays a significant role in the evolution of the Cylon culture.
• Natalie's name has not yet been mentioned onscreen, but (in a similar way to Gina prior to "Razor") she has been named in promotional material and by the actress in interviews.
