Cat Napper Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Name: Matilda Steelfeather, goes by Matilda or "Matti" to only her most trusted friends.Sex: FemaleAge: Young AdultSpecies: GriffinEye Color: A vicious, piercing yellow.Physique & Colors: Half osprey, half siberian tiger. Matilda is bulky and muscular, altogether a very fearsome character. Her head feathers are the lightest silver marked with gray at the tips of her longest feathers, most of which are pulled out of her face and held back with a thin rusty chain except for three easily recognizable crest feathers bent over her right eye. Her massive wingspan is a dark brown, gradiating into a light gold at the very tips. A ring of brown crosses over her eyes in a jagged stripe. Her talons and beak are jet black, and her coat is a dusty warm gray marked with dark tiger stripes.Residence: Wandering, currently in the Painted Pinto Desert region.Occupation: Thug/ThiefCharacter Summary:Matilda is a dangerous force to be reckoned with. An incredibly powerful, almost feral griffin, she speaks with a thick Russian accent and a brutishly cold voice. She seems harsh and distant to most, with a dominating, intimidating air around her. She takes what she wants when she wants it, anypony who has an issue with this can talk to her talons. Usually she's sneaky with her thievery, but at times she uses brute force to get something if absolutely necessary. Short tempered and quick to resort to violent intimidation, Matilda's rough side is a castle wall surrounding the hidden goodness deep inside her. She can respect those who earn it, a very difficult feat. Even more difficult still is earning her loyalty, she's devoted to the end for those she thinks are worth it.Since her earliest moments, Matilda has been raised to see ponies as carefree and stupid individuals, earning them her commonly used insult "sparklebrains". She lived with her older sister, Sigrid, for her childhood and a bit of her teen years. According to Sigrid, Matilda's parents abandoned her as a young teen and Matilda as an egg. The two worked together to fend for themselves in their home, Stalliongrad, for years. The turning point in Matilda's life came when her sister was arrested and put into prison for assaulting a carriage of rich ponies, who happened to be royal guards. And thus, young Matilda was left to grow up on the streets with nothing but her talons to defend herself with. She began wandering when she hit early adulthood, deciding that ponies elsewhere would be easier to mug than in Stalliongrad. Her heart grew cold and hard in her solitary life, secretly the griffin wishes for a companion to sit with on lonely afternoons, though she would never admit this. She longs to see her sister again, but left hope that she ever would far behind her, feeling it as a weakness. She does what she can to scrape up the necessities for living without hurting anypony, the most she'd do is give them a few bruises. She'd never kill a pony, she claims it's because they're too stupid to know any better, but it's really because of her social and protective nature that all griffins have. Matilda's mothering instinct is strong, she's got an incredible soft spot for children and would give her life to save a young one in danger. It seems to be her only weakness, but a truly special individual could win their way into her stone heart and discover if there really is more to Matilda than meets the eye, with a lot of effort and patience that is.----->Reference sheet<----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 A steel heart guarding a golden soul. I love it. The only glaringly obvious error is "Matilda is not a force to be reckoned with," which I'm sure should read "Matilda is a force to be reckoned with," which means she is a very formidable opponent.

Cat Napper Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I kinda meant that in the sense that she's a force no one would want to reckon with, but I see what you mean x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
