*Name:
Matilda "Matty" Copper

*Age:
23

*Sexuality:
"Eh... Don't know, don't care."

*Relationships:
"Romantic ones? Nah, not interested..."

*Family:
"Got a little brother, a mom, a pop, and a few cousins here and there. We all lived in the same house at some point... Not as fun as you'd think."


*Why'd you join the Scouting Legion:
"Honestly? I wanted to get the hell out of the house. I want to know what's out there and I want the generations to come to be able to see it too."

*Personality:
Matty is a rough and tumble kind of girl. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty when the situation calls for it. In fact, that's usually her go-to plan. She's good at fighting but not so much with planning. In fact, Matty will go into a fight with full force if people let her. Like a mother bear, she's very protective of her family and friends. She will take a bullet for anyone who'd do the same for her. With her "f**k you" kind of attitude, she brushes off most things quite easily. There are times, however, that she will lose her cool. When that happens, she's a ticking time bomb--or at least more of one than usual. Her father's eccentric habits show up in her from time to time. For example, she'll get very excited over a certain discovery or will be humming or whistling happily during a mission. If you ask her, she would say that the only time that she truly feels at peace is when she's out on a hunt/mission. She lets her instincts guide her and never turns back to look at her comrades. That's not to say that she doesn't care--because there have been times when accidents will haunt her for weeks--she just simply cannot turn back. That's just how she rolls.

"I mean, I'm sure nobody likes Death..."
Surprises

*Bio:
Matilda has always lived in cramped quarters. Her family wasn't so wealthy so the house she shared with her parents and her little brother was relatively small. She never really did much with her studies since she always found them very drab and dull. One of her good friends, Amelia, had a father who was in the scouting legion. He knew much of the outside world and would share little bits of information with Matilda and Amelia. He would even bring back little trinkets he would pick up along the way for them to have. This only got her more and more interested in the outside world. So she and her friend vowed to each other that they would, one day, see the outside.

Matilda started with learning some self defense for the better of her parents. Since they lived in a poor area, it was not uncommon for people to get mugged or robbed. She found that combat came rather naturally for her as well as being very meditative. When she was twelve, there was a dry spell and a few houses--included her own--burned down. The loss of her trinkets from outside the walls, a few pictures, and some toys was devastating for her. (As you imagine it would be for a young child) So she and her family moved in with her grandparents. It was a very full house since her cousins and her aunt and uncle were living there as well but it would have to do. Because Amelia was now about twice as far as she was before, Matty would often exchange letters with Amelia. When she was thirteen, she received a letter from her saying that she had fallen ill with what must have been leukemia. (As it was unclear at the time.) Her letters got shorter and shorter until the miserable day that there was a knock at the door. She was told that Amelia died with a smile and though it was painful, she was glad that she died with a little sliver of happiness. From that day forward, Matty swore that she would become a part of the Scouting Legion for the both of them.

Soon enough, the day came when she had to go off to the Training Camp. Before she left, her grandmother gave her a locket for good luck. She refuses to take it off, no matter the circumstance. The picture inside is one of her, Amelia, and her younger brother.
