Natalie is a girl Ted originally dated three years before the Pilot. She is a potent girl with slight anger issues, who detests Ted for dumping her on her birthday twice. She first appeared in Return of the Shirt.

Relationship with Ted[]

Ted had broken up with her on her answering machine on her birthday, for which her friends had set up a surprise party and witnessed the message before Natalie entered her apartment.

In Return of the Shirt, Ted starts to get nostalgic about Natalie and decides to ask her for another chance. When he tries to call her and knocks at her door with a big sock monkey, she makes it perfectly clear how she's still hurt about their break-up, but one cup of coffee later, they hook up and get back together.

Three weeks later, Ted decides to break up with Natalie because she's not the one for him. His well-planned, least-hurtful break-up is shattered, however, when he learns that it's her birthday and his arguments turn out to be futile. Natalie holds no anger inside in his regards and demonstrates her proficiency with Krav Maga by kicking him in the chest and beating the hell out of him. Ted says that she got married a year later and she had three beautiful children.

In Say Cheese, Marshall claims his exasperation of consoling Ted's many ex-girlfriends, one of which was Natalie. He likely performed this consolation after they broke up for the third time (after getting back together with her again as depicted in Challenge Accepted), however, Marshall says that this happened in February 2005, and when Ted decides to call her in October 2005 (as depicted in Return of the Shirt), he mentions having not spoken to her in three years. She had apparently beat up Ted in front of a cheering crowd after the breakup, as mentioned when Ted is writing a letter to himself in Twin Beds. This was also set in 2005.
