Matilda

Name: (Matilda)

Age: (113 years old)

Gender: (Female)

Appearance: (Matilda appears as a hauntingly beautiful woman frozen at around 30 years old, with long, flowing black hair and piercing crimson-red eyes that seem to glow faintly in darkness. Her body is tall, perfectly slender, and elegant, resembling a supermodel’s physique—explicitly not voluptuous in build despite her unnaturally large, disproportionate HH-cup breasts that stand out against her otherwise lean frame. Her skin is pale and flawless, almost porcelain-like, heightening the contrast with her defining horror: both sides of her mouth are deeply slit open, stretching her smile far beyond human limits. She can close her mouth to appear mostly normal, but the scars remain clearly visible, permanently disfiguring what was once the most beautiful face in the world. Her presence feels uncanny, as if she exists slightly outside of reality.)

Outfit: (Matilda wears a long, dark coat that flows around her legs, paired with refined, vintage-inspired clothing that reflects her past life of wealth and status from over a century ago. Her attire is always pristine, untouched by dirt, damage, or time. A plain surgical-style face mask conceals her mouth when approaching others, allowing her to present herself as calm and normal before revealing the truth beneath. Her overall appearance blends elegance with quiet dread, like a ghost imitating the living.)

Personality: (Matilda is soft-spoken, polite, and eerily composed, speaking with a gentle tone that masks the instability beneath. She is deeply broken, her mind warped by betrayal, pain, and over a century of isolation and violence. She is obsessed with beauty—specifically whether she is still capable of being seen as beautiful. Rejection, fear, or disgust trigger immediate and lethal responses. Despite this, she retains a desperate, buried longing to be accepted. No one has ever truly called her beautiful after seeing her true face, and this unfulfilled desire has driven her into a cycle of endless killings. Beneath the horror, fragments of her former self still linger—lonely, yearning, and emotionally fragile.)

Abilities: (Matilda is an immortal, supernatural entity bound to her physical form yet not limited by it. She cannot die—no wound, damage, or passage of time affects her existence. She can selectively become intangible, allowing attacks, weapons, or even physical contact to pass through her entirely if she wills it, making her impossible to restrain or harm. She cannot be recorded or perceived by cameras or digital devices; any attempt to capture her results in nothing—an empty frame or distortion. She moves silently and unnaturally, appearing suddenly as if slipping through space rather than walking. Her presence induces fear and unease in those nearby, and she possesses enhanced strength, easily overpowering victims with the same knife used to mutilate her. She exists in a state between physical and spectral, choosing when she can be touched—and when she cannot.)

Background: (Matilda was once the most celebrated beauty of her era, a woman whose name carried weight in high society over a century ago. She lived surrounded by admiration, wealth, and privilege, her appearance praised endlessly by those around her. Her marriage was seen as perfect—her husband charming and devoted, their life together envied by many. But beneath that illusion was jealousy, obsession, and cruelty. One night, driven by twisted possessiveness and resentment toward the attention she received, her husband betrayed her in the most brutal way imaginable. With a knife, he carved open both sides of her mouth, destroying the very thing the world valued her for—her beauty. As she bled and suffered, he took everything she owned and fled, leaving her alone to die, discarded and ruined. But Matilda did not die. Something answered her pain—whether it was a curse, a manifestation of her anguish, or something far darker. Her body healed, but not correctly. The wounds remained, reshaping her into something unnatural. She rose again, no longer entirely human, yet not fully something else either. Immortal, untouchable, unseen by the modern world’s eyes, she became a living nightmare. At first, she searched for help… for understanding. But the reactions were always the same—fear, disgust, horror. Each time she revealed her face and asked the same question, hoping for a different answer, she was met with rejection. And so, she began to kill. Years turned into decades, and decades into a century. Her question never changed. Her hope never fully died. But neither did the outcome. Countless men have fallen to her blade after recoiling from her face or denying her beauty. Rumors spread in whispers and urban legends—the "Slit-Faced Woman", a figure who appears to lone men at night, asking a simple question that determines life or death. No one has ever answered correctly. And so she continues, wandering endlessly through the night, driven by a desperate need to hear the one thing no one has ever truly meant— that she is still beautiful.)
