Natasha Vizini

Natasha Vizini is one of the proprietors of the Dark Oak Tavern and the older sister of Drakov.

Appearance
Natasha is a human woman with long black hair.

Personality
Natasha is a kindly woman, which serves her well in her job as an innkeeper. She has great faith in her little brother, Drakov.

Background
Natasha grew up in Vila's Watch, where she eventually married Vladimir Vizini and began to run the Dark Oak Tavern with him. In Firstlight of 598, she discovered that her brother, Drakov, had been transformed into a werewolf and seemed to have killed the town's butcher, Bertram Rhastur, in a frenzy. Natasha didn't believe this, but took measures to hide Drakov's apparent involvement in the murder and sheltered him as he learned to control his wolf form.

Werewolves Arc
Natasha greeted the Champions Valoris when they checked into the Dark Oak Tavern on Irwin's recommendation. She provided them with room and board (at the mayor's expense), as well as information on the layout of the village and some of the people living there. During this time, she was quite successful at hiding Drakov from the adventurers' view, although the black hair that the party discovered at the crime scene brought her under some suspicion. Eventually, Drakov bolted from the back room of the Dark Oak Tavern and was knocked unconscious after the party pursued him. Natasha followed behind the party and pleaded that Drakov had to be innocent. She was eventually proved correct, although the details were kept from her until the situation was resolved, as Irwin, the true culprit, had threatened Drakov with her death if he revealed the truth. When the party planned to break out Drakov and confront the mayor, they convinced Natasha to briefly go into hiding with her brother and husband.

Vila's Watch, Post-Tyrian
After Irwin had been identified as Bertram's murderer and Drakov's name had been cleared, Natasha and her husband pooled together a monetary reward for the party, which they collected on their return to the village. She also greeted the party warmly on their return to the tavern, giving all willing party members a hug, and allowed them to stay despite the tavern's temporary closure. Upon leaving Vila's Watch, Kilwin left a note with Natasha for Slumberjack, who had temporarily left the party.

Goals
Natasha doesn't have any grand ambitions that the Champions Valoris know of, but presumably wants her business to be successful and her brother and husband to be safe, healthy, and happy.

Abilities
Natasha seems to be a normal human woman without any magical abilities or martial training.

Natasha and Drakov
Natasha is Drakov's older sister and the two seem close. When he seemed to have killed Bertram Rhastur, she covered up his presence at the crime scene and sheltered him from the investigation. She acknowledges he has a reputation as a troubled man, but seems to be understanding of whatever transgressions he may have committed in the past. Natasha's insistence on Drakov's innocence was what led the Champions Valoris to continue to investigate and discover Bertram Rhastur's true killer.
