Natalie has a pleasing mix of short and tall letters with the l providing a height accent in the second half. The capital N has a bold zigzag shape, and the t needs its cross stroke added at the end. The a-t connection is smooth, making the first half enjoyable to write.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital N finishes with a downstroke that curves right. Guide it into the a's upstroke.
The a closes at the top, and the connecting stroke rises into the t. Cross the t after finishing the name.
The l descends from its height and transitions into the short i. Make the height difference clear.
Cross the t after you have written all seven letters. Going back mid-word slows you down.
The l should be noticeably taller than the surrounding letters. It gives the name its shape.
Practice the capital N separately. Its two downstrokes and connecting diagonal need to be crisp.
