Biography of a true Hero Nat Ríos

Natalia Ríos Ramírez (1990-?)

“At the end of the day, just being able to get up is accomplishment enough, worthy of a hero”.

Natalia Ríos Ramírez was born in Mexico City on May 24, 1990. She is the child of Blanca Margarita Ramírez, a well respected teacher at Tec’s high school, and Jesús Manuel Ríos, in charge of FIFOMI’s offices management at Toluca. She also has two brothers. Mariana Ríos, who is also a teacher and an entrepreneur. Daniel Ríos, he works at IXE bank as a financial assessor of private debt. Natalia also has a French Poodle, named Peluzo, she loves him very much and they been friends for 10 years.

But what is a hero without her loyal and best friends, Natalia’s best friends are: Alejandra Valdés, Daniela and Genis Reyes Monroy and Dalia Astudillo López. Her best friends have helped her through rough and good times. And as in the 2007 interview of Warner Channel: “I honestly don’t know where I would be without my family and my friends”.

Now let’s move to a more boring topic, her education. She began studying at the age of three years old (kinder garden) at the age of six she entered the elementary school at Argos, where she spent a good childhood, she also did at Argos her Junior High and in her third year she applied to Tec’s high school program. She got a scholarship and right now she is cursing her second high school year.

Now it comes the great thing about this biography, why Natalia gets to be called a hero? Well, at the age of six years old she realized she could make and control fire. She was very scared since she was little but with the passing of time she got to control her ability and use it whenever she wanted to.

In 2002 there was a great fire at Galerias Metepec, a shopping mall, to save the people inside the building Natalia concentrated and forced the fire to dissolve. Of course she did this act anonymously, she was afraid people would use her as a guinea pig and she was afraid she would never be accepted by her society.

Soon she trusted her four best friends, and they didn’t let her down. They in fact encouraged her to use her ability to do more good, and so in a winter night of 2005 she decided to help people of Toluca and sometimes people of Metepec.

Since then Toluca became a safer place, no more fires and thieves sometimes turned up in the police station with little burns. Nowadays people from Toluca has a special signal to call Natalia for help it’s the (fire alchemist signal)

Nowadays, she lives in Toluca still in her parent’s house; in her last interview with Warner Channel she stated that besides the encouragement of her friends, US series, such as: Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds; help her as an incentive to fight crime. Let’s hope this hero doesn’t disappear in thick air.

*** The End***
