Matilda Arkenval

Matilda Arkenval

Matilda arrived in Rosewood as a young girl with, just like most of the ones that arrive here, little memory of her past life, nor her death. She is a wizard, so she knows she probably studied somewhere, but she doesn't know where, or who her teacher(s) and fellow students could have been. She now tries to make the best of her new situation, in the hope of one day learning who she used to be, and if she could ever be that person again.

  • "Waking her is like facing her mini rage. Dreadful, really..."
  • Morv

  • "Matilda does surprise me each time. How is this kid so smart. I can with no doubt say that she is the smartest among us. It’s too bad she does not see her worth. The kid is beautiful in all her own ways. Im excited for braiding her hair before the Harvest festival. I was so relieved she liked the dress I suggested. And she did look fabulous. Like she always does. I’m hoping for the future, she will say this herself rather than me writing this. Let’s hope I meet some handsome elf there. Maybe I should stop writing after my wine lmao..."

    Regaining strength

    That fight was intense! I'm surprised I even made it out... I do feel stronger now, which surprises me. I haven't made any breakthroughs on these stronger spells yet; like that shatter spell, that one continues to evade me!   It could also be- No, that won't be it...
