Mrs. Mavilda

**Mrs. Mavilda** is the twenty-third playable character in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown*.

## Character Description

The head of an orphanage in an unnamed town, Mrs. Mavilda is a very selfish and cruel woman. Showing blatant contempt for the children she looks after, Mrs. Mavilda shows no real pride in her work. Her only happiness comes from gambling the children's money away in poker, which she seems oddly excited about doing.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Mrs. Mavilda kept up with her routine of pretending to care for the orphans in her orphanage. In Beatdown, while Mavilda gambles away the donations for the children, Judy catches her in the act and actually tells the Mayor what happened. Mavilda is fired from the orphanage, much to the glee of the orphans, as she moves out of town. While staying at a motel in the city, she receives a mysterious letter, which leads her to the Beatdown Colosseum.

Mavilda was one of the fighters invited to the experimental character recruitment at the Beatdown Colosseum. While sneaking around the interior of the Colosseum, she was spotted by Epsilon and revealed. While looking on at the Training Dummies littering the arena, she tries calling for help (on a phone not even connected to a line). As she expresses a need to retreat, The Batter confronts her and chastises her for not fighting. Mavilda, with her chainsaw, tries to prove him wrong but is knocked away by Amethyst being launched by a dummy. Mavilda, Amethyst and The Batter, along with Garnet, Pearl and Vriska Serket, would be distracted by Harry Freakin' Potter serenading the dummies, and eventually brought to a dark room where their recruitment was officiated.

While drinking in the Mansion's bar, Psycho Dad and Dan Backslide come in to talk with Mavilda due to DIO's interest in her. While Dan distracts himself by excessively downing some shots, Psycho Dad actually sits down to talk with her, and gives her the run-down. The two eventually bring her to DIO's Hideout, where she recognizes Tord as the one who broke into the mansion. DIO offers her money, and she is immediately on board with following him, not even noticing the fleshbud coming for her forehead.

Mavilda was involved in an incident within Mr. Nezzer’s chocolate factory, in which Waternoose and Mavilda converse about villainy matters. Waternoose ends up lending Mavilda a new electric chainsaw as well. Unfortunately the conversation was overheard by Shaggy, in which he was thrown into the furnace with the rest of the furnace crew after being caught.

In *BeatdownBound*, Mavilda was seen drinking with Dan Backslide and refused to speak to Frisk due to her hatred for children. Tord can speak with her again in DIO's Hideout, where neither respects the other. DIO also tells Tord that all of his henchmen have a purpose, even Mavilda.

During a particular day in the Mansion, Mavilda antagonized PeanutButterGamer while he played *Harvest Moon*, saying that they're here to work and not play. While everyone else disagreed with her and made fun of her, she stormed off. Later, she would play poker with some of DIO's henchmen, and would take up a game with Daniel D'Arby. Mavilda would lose, which allowed Osiris to steal her soul and turn it into a poker chip. After Terence T. D'Arby told his brother to bring her back, Mavilda excitedly asked for another game after waking up. Mavilda was also cast as one of the stunt doubles for *Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time!*, being thrown off the roof of the mansion and beaten up by Dangeresque Too. Despite this, she attended the world premiere while being annoyed at some people laughing at her misfortune.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Mrs. Mavilda is an awful person from an awful movie. Her movements are as stiff as the animation, and her combo potential is almost nonexistent. However, her biggest strength lies in taking advantage of other people for her own personal gain. By gleefully wasting things from other people, she can actually give herself considerable strengths, albeit at a risk. For that reason, she plays heavily as a Risk/Reward character. By using Neutral B to rack up strong hits from her foe or collect projectiles and traps, she can unleash a worthwhile kill move. She can also set up Mrs. Hopewell and the Orphans to lead foes right where she wants them, or to buy time to collect the Mayor's donations in order to actually gain buffs to combo opponents.
