### Debut

June 11th, 2021

Martha is a Walter Worker. Not much is known about her.

## History

Martha was the fourth oldest of ten kids. From rather early on, she resented her family. When she was in her teens, her next-oldest sister (the sibling she was closest to, albeit it not much) died due to medical complications, and all the expectations for her sister were shifted to Martha. Because of the difference between her and her sister's personalities and interests, Martha denied those expectations, much to the dissatisfaction of her family. In addition, Martha saw her family's wishes for her as them trying to erase the memory of her sister. For both these reasons, Martha's resenment towards her family grew even more. Following a tragedy involving her younger sister for which she was responsible for, Martha was disowned from her family and virtually ostracized by her town. Eventually, Martha found her way to Walter Robotics, where she has remained ever since.

### Martha's Curse

In an effort to right her wrongs, Martha made a deal in which she was placed under a curse in exchange for the resurrection of her two deceased sisters. The properties of her curse are as follows:

1. Martha will live a lifetime much longer than the average human.
2. In addition to the memory of her sisters' deaths, any memory of Martha has been erased from her family and her town of origin. Martha also has zero chance of finding her way back to the town until she is near the end of her lifetime.
3. A large majority of the money Martha earns goes to her family, with a smaller portion of the cut going to her town's economy.
4. Martha encounters more sentient objects than other people in Walter Manor by a large margin, with a number even appearing outside the grounds of the manor and/or only to her.
5. Any opportunities for Martha to leave Walter Robotics will be highly scarce.

Although the deal was successful, Martha is unaware of this, knowing only the details of her curse.

## Personality

In her youth, Martha was rebellious, with much of her actions being deemed improper and her being an outcast. She had only one friend. They spent much of their time in the local cemetery. Martha was often curt talking to others and frequently talked back to authority. Despite this, her academic performance was good, and she did not find school hard at all.

Some traits that carried over from her younger self to her current self are her disinterest in what most people find popular, and her dislike of formal events, caused by her aversion to formalwear. Another major trait she still exhibits today is her habit of defaulting to hating anyone she meets, as she finds them all bothersome.

In current times, she is highly reserved, keeping most things about her secret. She very rarely appears to show any emotion at all. Although she largely hates working at Walter Robotics, she is dedicated to her work, though this is partially because she uses it as a way to avoid interaction. Much like before, she is close with very few people. She is closest with Sienna, though she seldom makes any comment on their relationship. Martha initially started hating Sienna less than her past trainees upon learning of Sienna's weak and unelaborate reason for being at Walter Robotics, which she found honest and neither overly-hopeful nor depressing. Sienna's previous knowledge of blue matter and her ability to follow instructions also made her easier to train.

## Trivia

* Martha gets her name and her affliction with sentient objects from the animation What's the Matter, Martha?
* Martha finds Luxine "interesting." On a darker note, Luxine's age and general curiosity unfortunately remind her of her younger sister.
* Even before being placed under the curse, Martha was completely unaware of the location of her former town, due to its highly conservative and secluded nature.
* Often forgets gay people exist and that they aren't just "really good friends"
* Her base level of hate is lower for those that Sienna likes.
* Not tech-savvy when it comes to modern technologies.
