   * From the [[Island Nation of Berm]], see [[Backstories]].
   * Has a little sister named Elena back in Berm that she wants to keep safe.
+  * Formerly one of the [[Player Characters]]. Now an [[NPC]].
 ====Nature====
   * Matilda //was// generally neutral good, but due to actions involving the [[Warlock Well]] she is now **neutral evil**. Has a flexible relationship with the law.
       * She prefers saving someone to killing them when possible, but is willing to steal, deceive, smuggle, or otherwise break the law for money.

     * While Matilda navigates how to handle all this, from powers to whispered secrets, the real test will be seeing if she can use it all to her advantage to accomplish her own personal motives and objectives as outlined elsewhere in her backstory.

+====Joining The Party====
   * Shortly after legally leaving the Royal Navy, Matilda sailed from Berm to Mythburg, leaving Elena behind while she attempted to establish herself.
-      * She first met the party in Mythburg after they saved her from being pickpocketed. For reasons still unknown to everyone involved, she somehow ended up being adopted into the group..

       * Soon after arriving in Mythburg she encountered The Party, giving her a rather immediate opportunity to begin pursuing the money, reputation, connections, and influence she wants.
+====Leaving The Party====
+  * After being in [[Goldvale]] for a few weeks, having taken the power of (a) [[Shovel Of Alden]] for herself by tossing it into the [[Warlock Well]], communing with [[Hayte]] due to a similar action involving [[Kelthor's Book Of Great Awareness]], meeting some members of [[The Cult Of Alden]] and allying with them, learning some truths about the [[Shrine Of Hayte]], **The Shovel**'s real nature, figuring out more about the history of Goldvale and its [[Goldfish Pond]], and deciding her direction and end goals no longer align with [[Player Characters|The Party]]; **Matilda leaves The Party**.
+  * With her she takes a compliment of collected magical items and knowledge, including the remaining copy of [[Kelthor's Book Of Great Awareness]] to tip her off about a lot of things or offer knowledge to any potential future followers as she most likely assumes a leadership role in [[The Cult Of Alden]].
+  * She possesses the **Bellows of Beaver Summoning**, which seems like harmless chaos. But she knows how to best abuse anything in her hands. As she slipped away from The Party one final time late at night within [[Goldvale]], she released hundreds of [[beavers]] directly into the town to chaos maximum chaos. Given that the [[Goldfish Pond|Dragon Mesh]] depends on goldfish swimming freely through the ditches and waterways, beavers building dams suddenly in many locations is highly problematic. Thus was her escape tactic as her remaining ex-companions [[Jules]], [[Urist]], [[Vesper]] & [[Jeorge]] were left to deal with the aftermath.
+  * Matilda's future depends now on how she goes about consolidating power, and if she uses it in the Goldvale area or tries to harness it and return to the [[Island Nation Of Berm]] for her personal agenda. She may became "**Alden Reborn**", or she may potentially ward that off. [[Hayte]] will likely guide her and she could indeed be considered a **BBEG** in time if no heroes stop her.
+  * The most likely immediate scenarios for Matilda are to linger around the outskirts of Goldvale and strike at certain targets, or to make her way north to the [[Hayte|Church Of Hayte]]. If the [[Shrine Of Hayte]] offers her at much power as it does, then the Church Of Hayte may be even more beneficial to her.
+  * //All that said, never rule out the improbable...//((A clear warning from the Dungeon Master.))

       * Continues to use her **Bellows Of Beaver Summoning**, increasing the population of [[beavers]] in the Goldvale area.

+      * Officially disbanded herself from [[Player Characters|The Party]] by slipping away in the dead of night. NPC status is active going forward.
