Description
Natalia Garnet, also known as Natalia Cromwell, is a Grade III metal boxer affiliated with Zacks Cromwell’s gym, beginning her career at Rank 11. Born into poverty, she turned to mechanical martial arts to secure financial stability. Inspired by Levius Cromwell’s prowess, she relentlessly pursued apprenticeship under Zacks, overcoming initial rejection through drastic acts of resolve—including self-inflicted injuries that led to hospitalization and a clash with Levius—before earning her place at the gym.
Aggressive and confrontational, Natalia employs biting nicknames and provokes conflicts, yet her loyalty and unspoken affection for Levius drive her to extremes. She staged a sham marriage with him, attempted suicide to capture his attention, and faced expulsion from Zacks’ gym after destabilizing its operations. When Levius ascends to Grade I, she aligns with the Timor Gym to aid his career, determined to transform their bond from familial ties to romance.
In *Levius/est*, her integration into the Timor Gym proves turbulent. She clashes with Edgar Brown and Balt, partly due to her ties to Hugo Stratus, but Edgar concedes to her presence upon recognizing her promotional potential. Training under scrutiny, she recalibrates her predictable fighting style while navigating criticism. Her dynamic with Levius remains fraught with unresolved history, fueling her resolve to stand as his equal.
The anime adaptation condenses her arc, excising her romantic gambits and self-destructive acts. Introduced as a Grade III fighter overshadowed by Levius’ meteoric rise, she loses to him, then joins his gym as a sparring partner. Her role shifts to tactical advisor during his matches, emphasizing rivalry over romantic tension and fostering a steadier camaraderie.
Both iterations highlight her persistence and adaptability, balancing raw skill with the need for strategic evolution. The manga amplifies her emotional volatility and reckless bids for connection, while the anime reframes her as a focused competitor channeling her intensity into collaborative growth.
