Job
Middling class, father owning a printing shop. They make a fine living but certainly are by no means Rich or Noble.
Element/Abilities
Flora—This has mostly been seen in her flower boxes out front of the shop. Matilda hasn’t cared much to explore her powers, more interested in her books and her paintings, but she enjoys tending to the flowers and so they have flourished.
In-Depth Appearance
Matilda could be pretty enough if she tried. But most of the time she has a vague smile and hair escaping it’s pins, wide blue eyes that often drift up to the clouds as she thinks of something else. A typical build and height, she has fair skin and light blonde hair. Fingers often smudged with ink from the press or the books she is reading, or stained with vivid colors from her paintings.
Matilda owns decent clothes, and while she’s not great about her attention to detail, and at times tends to be a bit wrinkled, she puts on a good appearance. She favors blues and gray shades, and often is seen with an apron covering her front to protect her clothes from her messy work.

Biggest Fear
It sounds silly but… Matilda has this bad dream… It’s so silly. But she is in front of a crowd of people and they all stop and turn to look at her. With all the eyes on her someone points and laughs. And they all start laughing. And the entire crowd is bawling away at her because they see her for what she is. Laughable, nobody, a stupid girl from a little village that no one has ever heard of. She’s had this dream for years, traditionally during times of stress. No there was never a horrible event that set this off, just the nagging feeling that one day the crowds will turn and point and laugh.
Personality
Soft spoken, well read, and a dreamer, Matilda has her head in the clouds and her hands dipped in earth, wrapped around a paint brush or turning the pages of a book. She likes to discuss all manner of things and in general is a friendly girl, if a bit scatter brained at times.
While not overly out going she is neither shy nor opposed to interacting with others. Its more that people often choose not to interface with Matilda due to her wandering gaze and unfocused mind. It’s hard at times to keep a conversation going in one direction with Matilda when she is easily distracted by her whims and random thoughts.

Background
Mother dying when Matilda was fairly young, she lives with her father and younger sister Eliza above the shop. While in knowledge she knew she was supposed to have a mother, never did Matilda feel neglected or as if she was missing something, her father cared so diligently for his family. And being in the printing world Matilda was given the gift of an opportunity to learn to read and write, to think. This was the start to her great love of learning and finding new ways to think and see the world. To explore her creativity.
When the message went out for the Destined to attend the festival Matilda did not even think of her wrist and the mark there, but instead of all the different people coming together and the opportunity to learn and see so much more. Excitement gripped Matilda and she begged to go. Her father agreed knowing Matilda was a good girl, and her sister even insisted Matilda try to meet other Destined. Not for the opportunity to learn more about the world, but to actually find love and a partner. Matilda agreed, but mostly to make her sister happy. Why would she need a Destined soulmate?
