The problem with the word nature is its many diverse meanings. Eldarissa has nostale for 'nature' = 'innate or essential qualities': nostalen mâra 'good by nature' (PE 11:10). Perhaps we could use nostalénen for 'naturally' in the sense 'as can be expected from the nature of something or someone'.
+Björn Fromén the more I think of your proposition the more I like it. It fits the natus - natura - born - 'everything that's born' - 'something that is born with us' - innate (in-born) trait metaphor nicely. Sure, the meaning of 'nature' in English (and other languages) got sloppy over time, and nowadays it mostly means 'the world that has not been transformed by humans', including inanimate things.

Speaking of naturally, nature itself is a question. Perhaps *onnasta 'all things begotten' could be a possibility.
