I think what happened is Natah was sent to destroy the Tenno by Hunhow, but sustained Void damage in crossing from the Tau system. After she tricked the Tenno into destroying the Orokin Empire, the last few Archimedians subdued her and exploited the Void damage to "reprogram" her, connecting her with all those wires to that pod we see in the Apostasy Prologue, forcing her to become the Tennos' guardian. To do this, they made her take on the image of Margulis' favourite flower, the Lotus, and potentially some of her consciousness/identity. This made Ballas think she was Margulis resurrected, leading to him freeing her from the pod, which restored her to her identity as Natah.

Just my interpretation.
