## Matilda Yume

### Occupation

- Emissary- Foxfire Mentor

- Collective Member of the Black Rose

## **Appearance**

Matilda has short white hair that doesn't pass her shoulders. Her skin is pale, and blushes pink whenever she gets flustered. Her eyes are steel gray, but tinted blue. She's only 4'11, so that makes her much shorter than most elves her age.

## **Personality**

Matilda is very studious, she likes to be seen as smart and put together. She's very observant of logical things, as well as other's emotions. But when it comes to her own emotions, she's an oblivious-turtle. She can be stuck in denial about her true feelings for a long time.

Matilda has a fatal flaw. She is much too proud. Her pride is so grevious, that it often gets her into dangerous situations. Matilda tries to let go of her pride, for she knows that it is the enemy of healthy communication, but it's very hard for her.

This pride also contributes to the habit Matilda has of overworking herself. She is very dedicated to her work, and that's a good thing, but she pushes herself a bit too hard for a 18 year-old.

## **Abilities**

Matilda is a Polyglot and an Inflictor.

* Inflictor

She manifested as an Inflictor when she was 6 years old, almost as early as the famous Sophie Foster. But due to her early manifesting, she had trouble controlling the ability. She had a very hard time accepting and learning to master inflicting. But now that she's 18, she seems to have obtained an exceptional level of mastery over her ability, as well as confidence that she lacked when she was younger. Matilda has the ability to inflict both positive and negative emotions, as well as use her ability in the visible form, much like Sophie Foster, who was her Inflicting Mentor at Foxfire.

* Polyglot

Matilda doesn't know exactly when she manifested as a polyglot. It happened over time. She was always able to learn languages quickly, due to her photographic memory, but now she's able to pick up a language in a heartbeat. Matilda connects most with the human languages, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. She can also speak to most creatures. But she cannot speak to insects. She doesn't know why she has trouble with them, but she can't understand a word of what they say.

## **Family**

Matilda's parents are Mira and Hai Yume. They are considered to be one of the more prestigious families in the Lost Cities, overshadowed by only the Vackers. Although Mira and Hai are good people at heart, they never really had much time for Matilda, as they were quite immersed in their work. So, Matilda spent the majority of her younger years alone.

Matilda also had a sister, who is now deceased.

## **Mika**

Matilda also had a sister, Mika. Mika was her backbone, the one who was always there for her. She was everything Matilda was not. She was smarter, prettier, more powerful, kinder, wiser, she was all the wonderful things in the world in one person. And Matilda loved her. She loved her *so* much. But--Mika is gone. She faded away during a light leap, because something distracted her. To this day, no one knows what that is.

## **Sexuality**

As of now, Matilda identifies as bisexual. Well, a closeted bisexual. But she thinks she might only like girls. Essentially, she's confused.

## **Residence**

Matilda used to live in her parent's house, Cirlamene (In a place that humans call Greece) but now lives in her own house, Kaisune (In a place humans call Japan). Kaisune is known for it's abundance of birds, which Matilda coexists with peacefully.

## **Education**

Matilda went to Foxfire when she was 11, but skipped levels 5 and 6 and took the elite levels early. So she graduated when she was 16, just turning 17. Because Matilda has a photographic memory, she was able to use that to her advantage and get the work done in half the time.

## **Occupation**

Matilda is now an Emissary for the council, as well as part of the collective for the Black Rose. Her code name is Siren. She is also a mentor at foxfire that teaches Alchemy, Inflicting, and Linguistics.

## **A Talented Alchemist**

This seemed deserving of it's own category. Matilda is an exceptionally talented alchemist. Alchemy always came very easy to her and was one of her favorite lessons at Foxfire. Now she is one of the most revered alchemists in the Lost Cities, save for Lady Galvin, who taught her the skill. Due to her talent, she was selected as an Alchemy Mentor at Foxfire. Many thought she was going to become a healer, but Matilda always shot that idea down, saying that she was no good in crisis.

Matilda created some of the now used elixars/cures, such as:

* 骨折 (Fracture)
* 鸟翅膀 (Bird Wings)

## **The Black Rose**

Matilda is a member of the Black Rose's collective. She joined when she was fairly young, 15, because they reached out to her in need of an inflictor. After much inner turmoil, she decided to join as 'Siren.' Today, no one knows that she is part of this organization, not even the people closest to her. She hides her appearance by ingesting a certain concoction that she invented herself (she is an alchemy mentor after all) that gives her a feathery appearance to obscure her features.

She joined the collective because the collective member that she replaced died on a mission that remains unknown, and their dying wish was for someone she trusted to replace her. See, Moonshade (the collective member) recruited Matilda, so everyone believed that she was the one Moonshade was talking about. But Matilda doesn't know for sure. And that will probably haunt her for the rest of her life. She tries to be the best collective member she can be, but she knows that she will never be as good as Moonshade.

## **Fun Facts**

* She loves the human fruit, pineapple guavas.
* Matilda also has a photographic memory.
