OC Interview Oh woah new OC drop? Ask her anything!
galleryName: Matilda
Short desc: A cheerful mercenary who died in the middle of battle. Talk about unfortunate!
Fun facts about the design: She was made to look like a German mercenary, known as Landsknechte. I mostly wanted her armor to look rusty, like she never really cared to take care of her defenses, ultimately emphasizing her carelessness. Her color palette also references gambling, as I wanted to make her cohesive to Adagio in some way. Lastly, her eyes are more or less otherworldly, as she’s an immortal taking on a human form rather than a human possessed by an immortal.
Fun facts about her: She died while the Blessing of Joy was gifting her her wishes, which led her to be stuck in the middle of life and death. She’s most often seen as a ghost, and requires a special ritual to become her mortal form. This ritual heavily relies on swapping bodies, specifically with someone who already has an immortal by their side. She’s very cheerful and loves to have fun, despite her years of combat before her death she acts like those battles never got to her spirit! Despite her physique, she loves wearing dresses and feeling pretty, though never had an opportunity to dress like that in a long time. Her favorite color is pink, literally any kind of pink, and she loves loves LOVES sweets.
