Background: Ever since she could remember, Matilda's father was a knight that protected the people in the kingdom, his home. This fact alone was what got her interested in the Knighthood. From a young age she had always looked up to her father and took an interest in swordsmanship, at first her father was against her becoming a knight and learning how to fight with a sword, fact that she was a woman and the only person that he had left. However, Matilda didn't let that bring her down and she continued to beg for her father to teach her, which eventually he ended up giving in to her and taught her everything that she knows to this day. Matilda was able to learn all the tactics and strategies quite quickly as well as how to fight with a sword and defend herself. As the years passed she grew stronger, both physically and mentally, her fighting skills grew rather quickly which surprised even her father.

At the age of 14 she managed to join into the army for the kingdom and learnt to further improve her skills. Whenever she had the chance she would fight all kind of people, this way she was able to observe all type of styles that people had, eventually coming up with her own style that suited her best. As two years passed by she became strong enough to become a knight and joined her father's side, that way she could spend more time with him than she did in her childhood, not one day passed by where she wouldn't train and keep trying to improve her skills so her father would feel proud of her. She enjoyed helping people in need and making them happy, that was her lifetime goal, to bring smiles to people's faces and to make them feel comfortable and protected in their own society. Matilda also helped out in training new recruits from time to time, helping them improve and always doing her best to keep her morale up.

One day though, her father was sent off on a mission that he wouldn't really talk about, and she didn't try to get the information from him as she understood that sometimes it was best not to know. However, as time went by and her father did not return and she began to grow worried whilst all kind of thoughts went through her mind. Eventually her fears were realized when the knights returned all wounded and her father was nowhere to be found. Matilda asked around but no one gave her a straight answer or avoided the question, just from their actions alone she knew he was gone which impacted her quite badly for some time. She became rather distant for awhile, yet she couldn't bring herself to be sad forever, she paid her respects for her father as well as her hero and from those days she swore to her father that she would continue his duties and do her best to protect everyone the best that she could, never giving up, even if it meant throwing her life away for others. She kept that promise and continued to improve, eventually her hard work paid off as she was accepted into one of the higher ranks of Knights, taking her father's place but she wasn't going to stop there, one of her other dreams was to become strong enough that she would be accepted into the Elite.

Bio: Matilda can be surprisingly shy and quiet at points as well as strange, keeping to herself and never showing that she may be upset or feeling out of place. However, for the best of others she tends to be quite happy and energetic so others wouldn't worry about her as she understands that they may have their own problems and therefore doesn't want to add her own upon their shoulders. She is very determined and stays focussed on her goals, she is also a very open minded person, taking all type of possibilities in and figuring out which may be the best option. She cares deeply about her comrades and is happy to risk her own health if it meant that they wouldn't get hurt, though she would not allow herself to get hurt that badly, more like a chance for them to run away, though she also has accepted the fact that perhaps one day she could not run from a battle which could result to a death match. Other than that she is quite intelligent and is willing to learn new information of all sorts, as knowledge can be quite powerful at times.
