I've checked and we do not have a recent thread on the character Eva plays on CSI Miami - Natalia Boa Vista!
So I will start, hope you don't mind and let's talk about this character and why we like her, etc.
Here is an interesting read from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Boa_Vista
It might not be 100% accurate but more or less it is pretty right on and a very quick read to get to know the character.
I wish they had more personal information of her. I remember those days when I watch CSI-LV, they even had the characters birthdays and where they are from, etc.
I was wondering if her last name had any connection with her character due to how she entered the storyline and really it does because her name is "Boa". Ryan says "Boa, just like the snake," which should make us think of snakes (of course lol because I believe that was perfectly obvious) and snakes are thought of as decietfull and bare false information. So right away we should have recognized Natalia as the mole.

I never thought of that. But we know she is far, far, far from being a 'snake'. Lol! She is too innocent to be one.
Anyways, I didn't know much about her at first just because she was barely on screen at the time I watched the show. So she was more of some random lab tech to me. Then I started to like her character because of her warmth and that she comes across very genuine.
I liked her because of the background we knew of her, and that was not allot. Nick was in her life and I wanted to know what was going on with her and that Nick.
And indeed because of her warmth and she is just so smart.
I enjoy watching her on screen and I was pretty up sad because she hadn't that much screen time. But when she got screen time, her scenes always were amazing.
Also the shoulder dislocating scene stole me as a fan! I was like "ouch" and then "I am your fan now". I didn't know about her past then but it was an icing on the cake for me. I also thought she was like in her late 20s and then I went online and I realised her real age, I was shocked, probably like everyone else. Damn good genes she has! But then again I am not good at guessing people age, I always tend to think everyone is older then me.
Indeed! I thought that she was in her late 20s too. But she wasn't!! And my parents were like; Really ? isn't that a wrong site with wrong information on it?
Uhm.. I don't think we know how old she is. Do we even know how old the others are?
Omg, I have missed sooo much not being able to get to a computer since saturday.
On Natalia's CODIS profile it didn't say how old she was and they've never said on the show.
I'm not really sure how Natalia became my favorite character, but that's where I first saw Eva. I was I think 10 years old when season 4 first aired so I was probably like any other little girl that is like "She's soo pretty, I want to look like her when I grow up" or something along those lines lol(:
I like the name Natalia Boa Vista too and I like Eva La Rue too. She just gets to have awsome names(:

I think Natalia shifted house. The address on her CODIS was different from last season when Walter was going through her bank records. I forgot what it was but I think a place with 'Coconut'. Lol!
Anyways, she is one of my very few fave characters.
It would be nice if we get to see her place. I think she still lives in the same place. I've checked the address on the bank records is actually the bank's address. Lol, I am crazy. Does she still lives in the house near the drug lord's back in S5? I am lil confused.
Yeah I'm pretty sure she still lives down the street from that drug lord which means her house is probably huge because of the house sizes around it and the comment that Ryan made. I just always assumed Natalia got a lot of money from Nick when he went to jail and from the divorce. And she used to drive a BMW back in season 4 (when Gloria broke her windows) and those cars are not cheap.

I wonder what's Nick's occupation is? I assume when she got together with him, she was still with the FBI. Maybe Nick was an ex-FBI gone bad or became corrupted that's why he turned to violence and took it out on Natalia?
If Natalia was a real person I would love having her help to build a model of DNA for my biology project lol. I hate projects and would rather just stick to books and taking notes, but I have to do this project and I would really like a 100% so I can secure my grade at 109%

I never thought of what if Natalia was a real person. Hmm....I probably would regret not doing science so that I could work along side her. I don't mind her being my boss or me being her boss. Lol!
I am just curious about Nick, what was their background. I really think he might be a corrupted cop or maybe a Marine. There is so much I want to know which I know I will not get.
Nick looks like a guy who could be in the Marine or something like that. But now he's dead, and I think we won't hear a lot of his past. Maybe some Natalia and Nick stuff, but not Nick in person.
Yeah, that's too bad. Maybe when they have a spin-off. Ha, I am only dreaming.
I was watching the scene at the end of Internal Affairs. I realise it was Nick who actually kept a picture of them together. I used to think Nick doesn't really love Natalia but maybe he did, he even kept the ring.
It seems like Nick resented loosing Natalia. You could tell he wanted her back. He was trying to ward-off Eric by saying Natalia was a slut and only wanted things, he told Natalia that he'd changed, and Nick also somehow managed to get Natalia into his bed but I think it's because she was emotionally compromised.
What do you mean he kept the ring?

Abusive realationships can be very confusing. The abuser makes it that way. One thing that makes it so confusing is that the abusee will most of the time be in love with the abuser. Natalia said that she used to stick up for Nick and hide what he was doing, and she said that Nick had not always been abusive. He seemed very possesive of Natalia so we don't know that he didn't really love her. No, I'm not sticking up for Nick, just explaining how Natalia could easily be confused into thinking she loved Nick. They just want to believe that the abuser loves them.
I would love a screen cap(:!!!!!!!

Yeah, that was the confusing part where people have always wondered why she went back to Nick. Actually in an episode before that, Nick was clearly trying to get her back. He sweets talk her and you can see she somewhat was about to give in.
Anyway, I like that she is able to take charge more now.
Yeah I think she is because she was only promoted to level 1 in season 8 which is rediculous because she does just as much as everyone else and only 1 year less than Ryan and he's a level 3. They both got "upgraded" at about the same time.

( - what kind of jacket did Natalia were in the 200th episode? )
She is still in level 1? What is that for weird talk. She does a lot for her 'family' and work .. and she is still in level 1?! I'm getting angry. Cause she is just as good as the rest.
I'm not sure that is the wedding ring for sure but I guess it is pretty safe to say it is. I went back and watched that scene and it looked like she was playing with something in her hands and then when she goes to get the picture frame out of the box you can see a ring resting on her pointer/index finger on her right hand.
It was a grey jacket. I'll have to go look for a picture.
It makes me angry too):

You don't have to look for a picture! I've already seen the episode. And you're right. It is an amazing jacket. I love it ! (again) Natalia got a good taste in clothes. I never doubt about that.
This girl was wearing white shorts and was like "will you walk behind me?" because we were going to the same class and I was like "huh wha-oooohhhh Yeah! sure!" Lol(:
