Other Notes: Generally speaking, Ms. Hemming is vulnerable to efforts to trace her identity. Prior to the February 2, 2007 Primogen Council meeting, Sheriff Samuel McCoy was able to find a considerable about of information about her using just her name, her cell number and his bureaucratic contacts. The main reason for this vulnerability is the fact that Ms. Hemming leads a public life that requires her to regularly perform in Cabaret. Although her fame should provide an excuse for nay invasive security measures, it still represents a security liability.

Background Information
Natalie Hemming was embraced in 1930. She very much dislikes her sire, who she feels was overly controlling, even soul-crushing. He dominated her (not in the sense of the discipline) completely. Mr. Richardson reminds her of him greatly and the comparison is not a favorable one. She spent some time in Chicago and very much disliked it. Prior to entering New York City, she lived in a series of cities but rarely felt at home.
Natalie Hemming very much likes the musical Cabaret and identifies with the female lead. She performed this part in the winter and spring of 2006-2007 and received rave reviews.
Social Summary
Friends and Allies:
Bennet, Cameron: Lover. Ms. Hemming and Mr. Bennett are having an affair (began between December 8, 2006 and January 19, 2007 (precise date unknown)). Distinctly visible at Elysium January 19, 2007. Mr. Bennett appears to be more smitten with Ms. Hemming than she with him. During the time before and after January 19, 2007, the couple semi-regularly had sexual intercourse. Mr. Bennett may have attended a performance of Cabaret and had sexual intercourse with Ms. Hemming following the show (It was noticed that she had several gentlemen callers and Mr. Xerices identified them as himself, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Brighton). Ms. Hemming and Mr. Bennett had unprotected sexual intercourse on a total of at least two occasions. While living with Mr. Brighton et al, Ms. Hemming began to feel frustrated with Mr. Bennett’s bouts of depression.
Jones, Adam: Friend/Ally. Mr. Jones and Ms. Hemming have talked at length on several occasions. To Ms. Hemming, he comes across as well-intentioned but she is not really sure whether or not he is a good man. She feels that he is somewhat bitter towards the West administration, particularly Richardson the treatment he received from West and Richardson upon West’s ascension. She feels strongly, however, that Jones is loyal to Prince West. She has a positive impression of Mr. Jones. She looks to him as a sort of father figure, although she simultaneously does not want to be put under the thumb of anyone else. Mr. Jones has offered to help Ms. Hemming break her drug habit. On January 13, 2007, Mr. Jones took Ms. Hemming out to a Philharmonic concert and afterward they had a long, frank discussion that covered many topics. See attached event summary. After this time, she increasing began to defer to Mr. Jones as a sort of father figure. This was reinforced after the Richardson Intervention on January 19, 2007.
Rogerson, Helen. Friend/Associate. Ms. Rogerson appeared to help Ms. Hemming at Elysium on January 19, 2007.
Xerices, Auberon. Friend/Lover. Mr. Xerices and Ms. Hemming frequently talk at Elsyium. They enjoy cordial relations. Mr. Xerices took Ms. Hemming to a concert in December 2006. Afterwards, they had a discussion about her feelings toward Mr. Richardson. In this conversation, she revealed her feelings toward Mr. Richardson (strongly negative). Ms. Hemming and Mr. Xerices wound up shouting at each other in the course of this conversation to relieve tension and get out their emotions. After the show, they had sexual intercourse. Ms. Hemming looks back on this affair in a positive light and hopes that Ms. Gladius does not find out.
Enemies:
Richardson, Emmanuel James IV: Enemy. Mr. Richardson routinely forcibly enters Ms. Hemming’s mind and probes it. At court, he pulls her out of Elysium. They also meet at least once between Elysium sessions. She feels she has no private thoughts because of these intrusions. He emotionally pressures her toward behavior and thoughts he sees fit. He discourages her from associating with Mr. Jones and encourages her to take a harsher line towards him. He forcibly confined her after November 10, 2006, in an attempt to help her break her drug habit. At the December 8, 2006 Elysium, he browbeat her into giving him status. In his speech given immediately prior to his departure on January 19, 2007, Mr. Richardson’s word choice and body language indicated that he was unhappy with Ms. Hemming and planned to retaliate. Since then, Ms. Hemming has been uneasy and fearful of the coming retaliation.
Other notable Relationships
Alex and Dylan. Associate. Ms. Hemming talked at length to the girls at the January 5, 2007 Elysium. Their relations seemed cordial but no close. They likely had not talked at length previously.
Brighton, Lucas. Associate. Ms. Hemming and Mr. Brighton seem to enjoy cordial relations. It is likely Mr. Brighton would take in and protect Ms. Hemming should she request it. Went on a date with Ms. Hemming. Attended her performance of Cabaret and may have had sexual intercourse with her following the show (It was noticed that she had several gentlemen callers and Mr. Xerices identified them as himself, Mr. Bennet and Mr. Brighton). He has ‘stepped aside’ in favor of Mr. Bennett and is currently (January 20) deliberately distancing himself from Ms. Hemming. The entire experience has been difficult for Mr. Brighton, who began going out of his way to avoid Ms. Hemming. Ms. Hemming’s relationship with Mr. Brighton grew strained while she lived with him due to his frequent bouts of depression. Ms. Hemming has been making efforts to comfort Lucas.
McCoy, Samuel: Associate. Ms. Hemming feels somewhat frustrated toward Mr. McCoy because of his brisk manner and dismissive attitude toward the Primogen Council.
West, Darren. Subordinate/Superior. Prior to January 19, 2007, Ms. Hemming held Mr. West in high regard. This view was largely shaped by Mr. Jones’s comments on Mr. West, as Ms. Hemming had had little personal contact with him. After the Richardson Intervention on January 19, 2007, her views of Mr. West darkened considerably due to his perceived defense of Mr. Richardson’s behavior and refusal to take concrete measures to protect her and others from reprisals from Mr. Richardson.

Personal Factional History:
Became Toreador Primogen shortly after arriving in New York City. Mr. Richardson has systematically emotionally and manipulated her to encourage her to act as he sees fit.
The departure of Mr. Richardson on January 19, 2007 left Ms. Hemming as the only active Toreador in the city. It has yet to be seen what she will make of this, although it is possible that the faction will be subsumed by the Tremere. (January 19, 2007).
