Natalie Brown

Natalie Brown  is a character on the daytime television soap opera Times of Passion and its spin-off, ''Open Arms. ''

Natalie is notably the first transgender character on the show. Growing up as Elijah Brown, she identified as a girl early, but was afraid to tell her devout Christian parents. Her eventual coming-out in 2015 was a much talked-about topic in Winston, leading to many discussions about homo- and transphobia, especially at school.
