Ensign Natalia Aponte was a female Human in Starfleet in the 24th century. She had black hair and a dark complexion.

In 2370 Aponte served as a security officer on Deep Space 9. In that year she, Duane Wilkens, Ian Muckerheide, Dalia Parks and Sven Jonsson made up the security contingent on the runabout USS Amazon along with Julian Bashir, Jadzia Dax and Kira Nerys, in a mission to rescue a Horta which had been kidnapped by the Cardassians.

Unfortunately Aponte died on that mission, shot through the chest by a Cardassian as she tried to help Bashir and Kira onto a ship the team were making their escape on. (DS9 novel: Devil in the Sky)
