Natalie Katherine "Nattie" Neidhart is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to WWE under the name
Natalya. She is the daughter of WWE Legend Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and the niece of
Bret "The Hitman" Hart. In contrast with the majority of the WWE's female roster who were trained exclusively in their developmental leagues, Natalya was trained in her family's famous Dungeon and is to this day the only female graduate. In WWE she was the first 3rd-generation Diva and initially managed cousin DH Smith and real-life boyfriend Tyson Kidd as The Hart Dynasty but she entered the women's division when they split up and eventually became WWE Divas' Champion. She currently competes on the
Smackdown brand.
Provides examples of:
- All Women Love Shoes
- Arch-Enemy: First Lay Cool. Then the "Barbie Doll" Divas.
- Her and Alicia Fox have actually wrestled each other more times than any other combination of Divas on the roster, (Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly coming in second) with eleven singles matches in addition to all their tag matches. Natalya's in the lead right now with 6-5 in victories.
- Armour-Piercing Slap: To Vince McMahon nonetheless. Has said it was one of the favourite moments of her career. This was also how Melina turned heel on her.
- Bare Your Midriff

- Cat Fight: Occasionally when she was a manager.
- Childhood Friend Romance: With Tyson Kidd.

- Corpsing: Beth Phoenix had an unfortunate Wardrobe Malfunction on Smackdown and Natalya tries to cover up with a look of outrage but some chuckles seep through.
- Cute Bruiser
- Demoted to Extra
- Designated Girl Fight: WWE would often add other Divas to teams the Hart Dynasty were feuding with so Nattie would have something to do. Eve Torres, Maria Kanellis and Tamina are examples.

- Girliness Upgrade
- Hairstyle Malfunction: She and Alicia Fox really love doing this to each other.

- Pint Sized Powerhouse
- Plenty of Blondes: Realised this in 2008 and dyed her hair red to stand out. She's back to blonde now.
- The Pollyanna: As a face.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny: Subverted. It's still an impressive sight to see a Diva doing the Sharpshooter so she still receives great pops whenever she locks it on.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: She's not really held up as one of the pretty Divas but damn she looks fine when she wants to Case in point
◊. - Slasher Smile: Has a very effective one as a heel.
