"Peter, what's he done now?"―Natalie[src]
Natalie Kalban was Peter McCallister's girlfriend after he separated with Kate. She owns a large manor that does what anyone wants it to do with a special key.
Personality[]
Natalie is a wealthy woman who is always on her phone and cares about her money and Peter. When her house gets messy, Natalie gets all stressed out and needs a paper bag to breathe. She seems to strongly dislike children, especially Kevin McCallister, Buzz McCallister, and Megan McCallister. Natalie seems to dislike how Peter and Kevin decorate the Christmas tree, so she changes it. When Peter breaks up with Natalie, she gets very sad and breathes in a paper bag again.
Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House[]
When Peter arrives at Natalie's, they turned the music on and kissed in a true-love sort of kiss, they were doing it in privacy. When Kevin arrives there, Peter is glad to see him but Natalie seems to hate children, so she was not very 'I'm so glad you came'. She was more like 'I just want to stay here with Peter, I don't like him being here'. Then, the next day after her and Peter went out, Molly went to the store, Mr. Prescott doing his own things, Kevin's archenemy, Marv and his wife Vera show up. Kevin turned the shower on, and the house flooded. Natalie freaked out when her and Peter got back, causing Mr. Prescott to give her a paper bag.
Kate later came with Buzz and Megan. Natalie was happy to see Kate but unhappy to see Buzz and Megan. That evening, with Peter and Natalie pick up the royal family for the Christmas Eve party, Kevin uses a spy device that Natalie gave Kevin as a gift. Marv and Vera show up as caterers and Prescott picks up Kevin after telling Marv and Vera that he will get Kevin out of their way. Kevin ends up locking Mr. Prescott in the freezer and then listens to Marv and Vera planning to kidnap the prince and they fall out of Kevin's window. With the royal flight snowed in, Natalie begs Peter that they announce their engagement. Marv and Vera get burned and chaos goes on in the dining room (everyone was falling into each other). Natalie and Peter were extremely unhappy and told Kevin off for doing that. Natalie then explains to Kevin that she will kick him out of the house if another incident happens, believing Kevin to be doing this to get her and Peter apart.
On Christmas morning, Kevin is disappointed after learning that Peter and Natalie are getting ready to go to O'Hare to pick up the royal family. Kevin then sees Marv and Vera come in again and it is battling time. Molly then locks Kevin in the wine cellar with Mr. Prescott after revealing herself as Marv and Vera's accomplice. Peter heads back to the mansion after getting a weird feeling that there is something wrong back at the house. After Kate also rushes there, with Natalie and the royals arriving later (in time to see Molly, Marv, and Vera getting arrested), Mr. Prescott quits after taking an advice from Kevin. Peter and Natalie break up, and Peter reconciles with Kate. The movie ends with a saddened Natalie needing a paper bag, and the royals along with Mr. Prescott hang out with the McCallister family on Christmas Day.
