–Norma
Norma Natividad[1] is a Junior Psychonaut and former Psychonaut intern stationed at the Motherlobe.
Appearance[]
Norma has light purple skin, short brown curly hair, and violet eyes. Her nose is pink. She wears a spotted orange shirt, brown shoes, a cream colored wool scarf, an orange beanie, and green corduroy pants. She has large square glasses with turtleshell spotted orange and black frames.
Personality[]
Norma likes to put down others, especially new Psychonaut interns. She acts friendly on the outside, but on the inside she likes to manipulate her classmates and try inhibit their success. Norma is also very cunning and intelligent.
However, she’s not entirely heartless, and it’s later revealed that much of her animosity towards Raz was because she had wrongfully assumed he was the mole. She is capable of admitting when she was wrong and goes to great lengths to fix her mistakes.
Story[]
Norma leads Raz into the Artifact Closet and tricks him into giving up his clothes and locking him in afterwards. Raz confronts her after he escapes, where she responds by dumping her intern project of the Mission Critical Asset Scavenger Hunt on him before she will return his clothes.
She is tasked by Hollis to review the mental connection lesson with the class after Raz arrives late. Upon seeing how Raz is able to change Hollis' opinion on cilantro, Norma pressures him to go deeper in order to change Hollis' mind in taking the interns on the Lady Luctopus mission.
Norma and the other interns reenter Hollis' mind and get captured by Lady Luctopus. After Raz restores Hollis, Norma and the other interns help Raz break into the deluginist's hotel room. However, she still suspects Raz is the mole while her fellow interns accept him.
Norma follows the Aquato family to The Questionable Area and tries to flatter Augustus into divulging information about the family's ties to Maligula.
That evening, Norma secretly tracks down Raz and Ford to Green Needle Gulch and the Astralathe. She leaves and then returns with Truman Zanotto, who prematurely pulls Raz out of Lucrecia's mind with smelling salts. She realizes her mistake when it's revealed that Truman's body is being controlled by Gristol Malik, and immediately goes to recruit her fellow interns at the Motherlobe to assist in defeating Maligula.
During the battle in Lucrecia's mind, Norma arrives with Gisu and apologizes to Raz for suspecting him as she boils off Maligula's water cyclone with her pyrokinesis. She continues to burn Maligula until she is taken out by a water serpent.
Back at the Motherlobe the next morning, the interns are promoted to Junior Agents by Hollis, though Norma is underwhelmed. She spends the post-game with Lizzie by the intern lockers, and will indeed return Raz's old clothes if he has found all sixteen "mission critical assets."
Relationships[]
Hollis Forsythe[]
Hollis Forsythe is Norma's teacher at the Motherlobe. Hollis trusts Norma enough to put her in charge of teaching the other interns while she attends to other business. It can also be logically deduced that Hollis is her mentor, as she gives Norma the "Mission Critical Assets" assignment.
Norma's parents[]
Norma briefly mentions her unnamed parents during the battle against Lady Luctopus by saying: "Agent Forsythe, when my parents-".
Razputin Aquato[]
Razputin is Norma's fellow Junior Psychonaut at the Motherlobe. The two do not get along, as she is openly hostile towards him during their time in the internship program, and regularly makes passive-aggressive jabs at the younger cadet. Upon meeting, Norma even improvises a scheme to steal his clothes and lock him in a closet. However, she may have treated Raz this way due to her mistaken belief that Raz is the mole and is associated with Maligula. She does apologize when she realizes she's wrong, but Raz still hasn't fully forgive her yet.
Lizzie Natividad[]
Lizzie is Norma's sister and fellow Junior Psychonaut at the Motherlobe, and they are seen together frequently. Although Lizzie goes along with Norma's hazing ritual for Raz, she is generally annoyed with Norma, due to her propensity for obnoxious meddling.
Gisu Nerumen[]
Gisu is Norma's fellow Junior Psychonaut at the Motherlobe. The two are seen conversing with each other on a few occasions, though Gisu outs Norma for suspecting Raz as the mole.
Adam Joseph Gette[]

Psychic Powers[]
- Astral Projection: Norma can astral project into minds using a psycho portal.
- Pyrokinesis: Pyrokinesis is Norma's specialty power.
- Projection: When he uses it near her, Norma mocks Raz for having an unrefined Archetype, implying she's able to use the ability more effectively.
Trivia[]
- Norma is a master of Pyrokinesis, while her sister, Lizzie, is a master of Cryokinesis.
- Norma, along with her sister, are two of the red herrings in Psychonauts 2 implied to have a connection with Maligula. For Norma, it was her tendency to be hanging around whenever strange events were taking place, though in actuality is simply her curiosity and intent to discover the identity of the mole in the Psychonauts.
- Throughout the entire game, Norma sees Raz as the mole, which is proven by using Clairvoyance on her. After completing the game, however, she sees Raz as a fellow psychonaut.
