Matilda Item 1 Matilda Item 2 Matilda Item 3
A delicate silk band which the interviewee received from her parents as a reward for her outstanding grades. It was sold at a price much higher than the production cost. Its size was not suitable for a 10-year-old in the beginning, but she has grown tall enough to fit it. The badge which every Monitor Assistant is required to wear. It suggests her transition from a student to an instructor, and it is also the symbol of growing from naivete to maturity. This simple, classic brooch is a relic from the interviewee's  British veteran grandfather, who inherited it from his wife. It is a rarely seen pure topaz, and the emotional bond embodied in it is invaluable.

Matilda Item 4 Matilda Item 5 Matilda Item 6
A necklace with clear South Asian influences, encrusted with green crystals, garnets, and many other jewels.
The interviewee had not intended to buy it until the stall owner at Chauhari Market hinted that this antique necklace would bring good fortune and make wishes come true.
Thus she hurriedly paid a large fistful of rupees.
A portable shoulder bag, with an oval-shaped body that can hold a water bottle and other small items. For this hard-won trip, the interviewee has made adequate preparations. Someone of their years would normally have had their parents' help packing their bags, but all she wanted was a word of praise. A traditional dyeing method with auspicious connotations. The dyes used were organic and lasted for a week.
According to the interviewee, this was drawn by an Arcanist artist in Jaipur, with its ancient botanic design signifying good fortune and clearer insights for those who divined the future.

Story[]

Crystal Divination and Ticket for Family Attention
0%
This is a business of medium scale, which the Bouanich family has been running since a century ago.
No matter who the buyers are, the Bouanich family's pure minerals of fine quality will be equally polished, packed, and sent to the buyers—well, some go with several aphorisms about the future.
Even though most people don't understand what those ambiguous words mean until it is too late, divination is undoubtedly different from those pretentious "witchcraft." It is a sophisticated product of rigorous logic developed from what happens in reality. To study it, one must come from a pure bloodline and possesses extraordinary talent.

But even a child with such talent like her cannot have their parents' attention all the time, especially when they are running a booming business at the same time. Ever since her grandfather passed away, this proud kid was no longer the absolute focus of the family.
Only when she brought back another honor certificate—the ticket for love and care—would she get to enjoy a hug in the arms or a kiss on the forehead.

Pandora Wilson: ...Excuse me, I hope I didn't disturb your divination ritual.
Matilda: Whoa! A-A mouth?
Matilda: Ahem, greetings.
Matilda: Interview? Ask away. The Great Matilda will give you every perfect answer beyond all doubt.
Pandora Wilson: An interviewee as cooperative as you is rare to see.
Pandora Wilson: But before that...
Pandora Wilson: I wonder if you could tell me about the lady in the orb. I had an interview with her before, and her name was, if my memory doesn't fail me, Son-...
Matilda: No! You saw nothing! I wasn't looking at anything through the orb! And I don't know this Sonetto!
Pandora Wilson: ...Are you close to her?
Matilda: O-Of course! She is... will be my sidekick.
Matilda: And I am bound to take the title of No.1 Student from her one day!
Pandora Wilson: ...Good luck."

Matilda Icon Be quiet... Don't step on the leaves and twigs!
The great Matilda will not accept failure in such an easy game!


「Matilda - Max Bond Wilderness Conversation」
Matilda Icon Ver─Ver─Vertin?!
Ahem! I was just thinking of you─
According to my observations, even as Sonetto's superior, your arcane skills are still as poor as ever.
Therefore, I believe you need training, and the great monitor assistant, Matilda, is willing to coach you personally!


Availability[]

  • Matilda is given to all players for free via in-game mail as a pre-registration reward. She can not be obtained through summoning.

Trivia[]

  • Her character setting is inspired by the eponymous protagonist of the 1988 children's novel Matilda written by British author Roald Dahl.
    • Matilda in the novel shows her amazing precocity at her early age. Likely, Matilda in-game is the youngest student entering SPDM.
    • Her iconic pose takes direct reference from the poster[2] of Matilda the Musical, a 2010 musical adapted from the epynomous novel.
  • She needs 14 points for her to get a full score of 100. Coincidentally, Sonetto's name references this; an Italian sonnet is a 14-line form poem split into 8-line and 6-line parts.
  • Matilda speaks fluent French in some of her voice lines.
    • She also swears in French at times such as in her Attacked II line.
  • She has familiars ties with a woman named Beryl Bouanich[3]. Eternity seems to have known her.
