Natalia Omar/2.0 and Prior

Leanbois Arc
On January 1, 2020, Natalia was called down to her shop by Ricky Robins (then disguised) in an effort to sell her insurance for the coffee shop. She refused, saying she was already covered by Speedy Insurance, and continued to go on a scuba diving excursion with her boyfriend, Dan, cousin, Jake, and their colleague, Gunner. Once they had finished, she was called down to the shop again for service. She and the boys were hungry anyway, so they went back to the shop to serve the customer and get food for themselves. There, they were ambushed by Ricky and Buddha, both wearing Batman masks and holding guns to them. Gunner, who had not yet entered the shop, came in through the front door and opened fire on Ricky, who had his back turned to handcuff Jake. Once shots rang out, Dan broke away to the back of the shop and pulled his own gun out while Natalia took cover behind the counter. Ricky and Buddha were shot down, and the three boys robbed them before all four of them promptly left the store. After hearing Buddha's voice, Jake and Dan are able to confirm to Natalia that it was the Leanbois who attacked them.

Buddha, after realizing his cleaning supplies have been stolen, began to hunt Natalia for the names of what he's dubbed "The Scuba Gang." On January 9, Buddha got CP to call her down to the shop for service, where he, CP, and Ellie kidnapped her. They asked for names, which Natalia refused to give, so they blew up her car and set fire to Bean Machine in an attempt to get her to talk. When no efforts worked, they took her to an abandoned building, where Buddha beat her with a hammer, stabbed her with her own knife, and then set her on fire. A local smelled the smoke from the fire and heard the gun shots used to set the blaze so EMS were able to find Natalia, but due to the extreme physical and mental trauma inflicted, she still suffered some memory loss. Later that same day, Buddha briefly revisited the store, where he shot a local dead, robbed Natalia, and declared to her that he'll rob her and anyone he finds in the shop, then left with the words "Coffee Bean is shut down permanently."

Natalia informed the Vagos of the attack, though she said she didn't remember who took her or why.

On January 13, Leanbois decided to target her again in an attempt to get the names of the Scuba Gang. Buddha called her privately in a series of menacing phone calls, threatening to blow up and terrorize the shop and its customers. Natalia saw one of the Leanbois with a gas can by customer vehicles and urged her friend, Regina, and new employee, Evelyn, to call the police as she hurries outside to shoo them away. As they drove away, they shot at the gas pool to ignite it, and the two vehicles exploded. Cops and EMS were called to the scene, and not long after Buddha announced over loud speaker that he will blow up the building if Natalia doesn't give him names. Deputies Dark and Forcer evacuated the building then call for the bomb squad, and Natalia confirmed to Flippy that she knows it's the Leanbois who are after her. Regina tried to calm Natalia, who is panicking at this point since she spoke to the police about this and previous incidents and fears that she has broken her solemn oath, ''omertà. ''Meanwhile, Flippy went to Buddha for more information, then came back to pick up Natalia from the storefront to talk to her and get her side. He later arranged a meeting between Natalia and Speedy where, since Natalia is presumed to be Arturo's girlfriend, Speedy promised her Vagos protection from that point forward and gets Buddha to stand down for the time being with the promise that Natalia will return his stolen items. Natalia confronted her friends about the stolen items and they assume he wants back the guns--which are now broken--but once she mentioned cleaning supplies, they told her they don't know what she's talking about and that they have no such things. Though, after learning that Buddha wants their names, they were determined to settle this issue themselves and refused to let Natalia meet with Buddha alone with the Vagos--they were convinced that, because of their close relationship, Vagos would throw Natalia under the bus in order to preserve their relationship with Leanbois. However, Natalia, viewing this as her problem, didn't want them to give up their names and faces to Leanbois after she'd tried so hard to protect them.

On January 27, Natalia (with the help of Arturo) made a peace offering to Buddha consisting of a collection of unique items and a promise to pay $3000 a week for three weeks. With this, Buddha agreed to leave her alone, but still vows to kill her friends if he ever finds out who they are.

Vagos
Natalia became associated with the Vagos on her third day in the city when she was called by Arturo to attend a block party. There, she met Arturo, Flippy, and Mario, and Arturo took a liking to her. She has deepened her relationship with them since then, even to the point of Arturo purchasing a house in Paleto with her as a stash house. Until right before the resolution of the Leanbois incident, it was mistakenly assumed that she was Arturo's girlfriend--she actually felt the need to confirm with Arturo that this was not the case before going out with her ex-boyfriend, Dan. However, she is still often referred to as "Arturo's girl" by other members of the Vagos.

[NOTE: She is not a member of the Vagos, and she never plans to be, as she wishes to stay neutral and insists her loyalties are to people, not groups.]

The Russian Mafia
Natalia's relationship with the Russians began when she agreed to hire them for "security" for the Bean Machine. She'd assumed it was more security for the building or the business than for her, until Stanislav Mikhailov recently told her to let them know if she had any trouble so they could take care of it. They tend to cut her some slack if she misses a payment, but still remind her that it's better to keep on track than owe a debt.

QuickFix [Inactive]
Natalia became associated with QuickFix when she first came to the city, as her cousin Jake worked there. Before she found much to do, she would spend much of her free time loitering around the lot, which a few employees found annoying. Though, this did allow her to forge her current friendship with Taran and deepen her relationship with Dan.

The QuickFix as she knew it disbanded while she was out of the city, and she doesn't keep contact with most of the people once involved, and doesn't consider herself tied to them in any way now.
