## The Serpent's Secret

In The Serpent's Secret Mati makes her first appearance. Kiran first meets her in the royal stables of the palace. She described Mati as "mild-mannered" and said she radiated "a sense of purpose and competence" as she worked. Mati greeted Kiran and the princes, and started to feed the horses. Lal introduced her to Kiran as she worked. Right after, Neel messed up her hair, and Mati threw a pitcher and horse brush at him playfully, and resumes her work. After some time, Neel and Kiran leave Lal and Mati alone while they find Tuntuni. Later, while getting cleaned up, Kiran accidentally lets The Rakkhoshi Rani in and The Rakkhoshi Rani goes to the stables and swallows Lal and Mati without chewing. She later spits them back out as bowling balls. Neel and Kiran take them along on their quest to save Kiran's parents, hoping that they'll find a way to change them back on the quest. Later, in the Maya Mountains, Mati the bowling ball transforms into a dwarf star and back. After Kiran and Neel defeat Bogli and The Serpent King, they learn how to change Lal and Mati back from The Rakkhoshi Rani. Kiran also learns that Mati is her adopted cousin.They go back to the palace and plant them in the ground. The next day, Kiran and Neel discover that Lal and Mati transformed back into humans and find them sitting together in a silver tree on a golden branch. Kiran and Mati hug. Mati stays by Lal's side during the celebration for Lal's return.

## Game of Stars

In Game of Stars, Mati is the head of a resistance group known as the Pink Sari Skateboarders, or the PSS. She helps gets Kiran and Naya to the hideout, staying behind with Naya so Kiran could get to the palace.

Later, she, Naya, and Tuni visit Kiran on her balcony to plan to save Neel. She tells Kiran about a video her scouts found to help her get to Sesha's underwater fortress, and she is also the one who comes up with the idea to go to the dentist to get a fang from the Serpent King, laying out a whole detailed plan. She then has Bangoma and Bangomee take the group to the dentist's office for the plan to kick into action.

When the PSS save Kiran and Ai-Ma from the serpents, Kiran discovers that some of the girls are rakkhoshi, leading Mati to yell at her for her prejudices. They land and she gets in a huge argument with Kiran over the rakkhoshi. Kiran tells her about the Flying Fangirls and what had happened during the fall, which makes Mati even angrier. She shouts at Kiran not to throw the fall into her face since she was a sphere and couldn't help it, then send her away to work without her.

Later, Naya texts Mati and the rest of the PSS for help when snakes and humans come from both sides. Evidently, it worked, as somebody (most likely Mati) sent the rakkhoshi of the PSS to help out. Kiran notices that Mati and the rest of the human skateboarders weren't there because it would've been too dangerous for them.
