In the Biomed wing, it is revealed in an optional, unlockable database that she suffers from a heart murmur and probable mitral stenosis. Thus, she faces an 82% chance of death during cryogenic revival, causing the medical subroutine to give Sareh Hasmadi the suggestion to avoid putting her into cryogenic stasis. This is also the reason she has shown disdain for exercising, with the only item in her locker in the Locker Room being a note that says "I'll Exercise When I'm Dead".

While she does have a personal room, she only uses it for storage of many items (some being of note are a flyer for the AILF and several holiday decorations). Instead, as indicated by the sign outside of the room, she spends her time in her "bungalo", which consists of a lawn chair and a small table in the maintenance tunnels, and the marital bunk she shares with Roberta Williams

Her name, Natali Valentina Kuroshenko, indicates some form of Russian or otherwise Eastern European ethnicity. Russian is hinted at by Clive Siddiqi's White Russian recipe listed on his mixed drinks menu, where he writes that the White Russian was made with Nat in mind.
