1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc.

Matty doesn't know her parents. She doesn't know what languages they speak or what they look liked, and really, she doesn't mind not knowing. What she does know is not that she was given up, but that her father abandoned her, and her mother died in birth.

She grew up in a magical Orphanage. Her mother was a witch, so they had completely expected her to be one as well. Matilda wasn't, but she wouldn't know that for years to come. As a child, Matty would always find it fairly easy to take things from other kids- Toys and food. As she grew, she stole money from the adults, to go pay for some candy that she kept to herself.

This kleptomaniac behavior continued when she had gotten adopted for the first time at age five. The family, who cares about their name, had returned her once they had noticed small bits of money missing from their wallets as well.

The second family had done it to, from age 6 to 7. Then 8 to 9. 9 to 10. It was all the same. They had found something missing, and blamed it on the child. By age 11, the adults at the Orphanage found it unusual that she had not displayed any signs of magic- And their suspicions had been confirmed when she didn't get a letter for any school that summer.

She was kept in the same Orphanage- How bad could squib be? Matty's stealing continued, until the age of 15, when she had gotten adopted by a couple that refused to give up on her. Whenever they saw money missing, they would talk to her. She would claim not doing it, and they would believe her. This really only encouraged Matty. Soon she was pick-pocketing strangers. She started hanging around bad people. When she turned 18, she decided her parents didn't do much for her other than provide her with shelter and things she needed... So she packed, and went to explore.

Matty started off in Ireland. She traveled to Australia, Russia, America, stealing enough to get buy and more sometimes. She was living fairly well, but she was getting bored... So she moved back to England. To London. She knew a magical town was nearby. Hogsmeade. Maybe she'd make a living there.

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble?

Matty comes off as standoffish, but she's brilliantly kind to a person's face. Matty doesn't trust easily, and she judges harshly, but she'll try and not judge too harshly at first. She really wants people to like her, especially if they're a mark. In truth, she wants to survive, if it means manipulating and having her own interests in mind, she'll be as charismatic as she can be.

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born?  Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!) Doesn't know (Halfblood)

4) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as veela, vampire, werewolf or the likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!) Neeeeeeigh she's a squib

5) Describe your character's profession.  Do you plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic?  Does your character not work?  Is your character a teacher? I plAN ohaving her be a TBP member

6) Describe your character's marital status.  Is your character single or married?  What is the spouse's name?  Any kids? Single
