The nature of her magic means that others think she is capable of changing more than she actually can, so rather than devote herself to trying to change lives, failing, and living in regret like some of her predecessors, she decided to focus on making her own life as awesome as possible, while still helping as much as she can. It is a very pragmatic lifestyle for her capabilities.<br/><br/>Mathilde is also known to be rather proud of her use of time magic, as it one of the more rare varieties, as well as being one of the most brainpower-intensive. That does not mean she holds herself above anyone else, but you'll rarely find her holding herself below them, either, unless they can somehow prove that she's inferior. Show her respect, and you'll get respect in kind. Above all else, she is ambitious, but truly does want to help people when she can.</div><br/><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>{Quirks}</strong></div> <div style="text-align: right;"><strong>{Phobias}</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>%</strong> Keeps a neurotically detailed journal that is practically unreadable to non-time mages.</div> <div style="text-align: right;">Accidentally freezing herself in time permanently. <strong>@</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>%</strong> Odd sleeping schedule, while always having an instance of herself awake.</div> <div style="text-align: right;">Heights. <strong>@</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>%</strong> Extremely easy to manipulate when small, adorable animals are employed.</div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 15pt;"><strong>~ Ability Statistics ~</strong></span><br/><br/>Proficiencies/Stats<br/><br/><div align="center">Strength: C<br/>Agility: S<br/>Speed: B<br/>Durability: D<br/>Senses: A<br/>Spirit: B<br/>Intelligence: SS<br/>Dexterity: S<br/></div><br/><strong>{Magic-Types}</strong><br/><br/>Magic Type ~ Time Travel and Manipulation<br/><br/><strong>{Signature Spell}</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">Flashback</span> - Mathilde has the capability to travel back in time up to 24 hours prior to whatever the "present" time is, making it possible to loop back onto her own timeline and have multiple instances of herself running around at the same time. By doing this in battle, she can have anywhere from five to eight "copies" of herself running around, as she continually blinks back mid-fight and fights alongside her past self. Of course, since they're all the same Mathilde, this just means she actually has to fight for much, much longer than her opponent does to use this ability to its full effect, and any injuries sustained will carry on to future Mathildes.<br/><br/>She can also use this ability to be in several places at once during a mission, or to multitask (i.e. sleeping during the night before looping back and accomplishing other things). The further back or more frequently she flashes, the more energy it takes.<br/><br/><strong>{Spell List}</strong><br/><br/>Name: Forward, Fast<br/>Type: Time / Offensive/Defensive<br/>Range: Self<br/>Description: Mathilde speeds up time drastically in her very immediate vicinity, allowing her to move at incredible speed for a second or two. This also affects anyone extremely close to her, so if she's carrying someone, they'll feel as if time around them has slowed rather than their own speeding up.<br/>Class: B<br/><br/>Name: Temporal Anchor<br/>Type: Time / Defensive<br/>Range: Self<br/>Description: Mathilde locks herself at a specific moment in time, essentially freezing herself in place and making it so that outside sources can't harm her. This move is purely a last-resort defense when she is about to be killed or badly hurt, as the effect can lock her in place for upwards of an hour if she's in a rush to cast it. She can be moved during this time, but not harmed in any way.<br/>Class: A<br/><br/>Name: Unknown<br/>Type: Time / Passive<br/>Range: Self<br/>Description: Time magic in and of itself is a pretty ethically liable form of magic, but there one spell that is considered highly illegal and taboo above all others. Mathilde is at least vaguely aware of how to cast this spell, but will not utilize it under any circumstance. To do so would endanger more people than she can comprehend.<br/>Class: S<br/><br/><strong>{Non-magic Skills}</strong><br/><strong>#</strong> Swordfighting (the focal point of all of her combat)<br/><strong>#</strong> Studying/memorizing<br/><strong>#</strong> Piano (has been frequently remanded for playing in the middle of the night)<br/><strong>#</strong> Animal care<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 15pt;"><strong>~ Personal Background ~</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>{Biography}</strong><br/><br/>Mathilde had no intention of becoming a mage as a child. She was a mere 8 year-old when she and her family traveled over from another land to find exciting new opportunities, and while she was at the top of every one of her classes, her ultimate dream was to become a world-class duelist, as she had read about her great-great-great-grandfather being. When she wasn't studying, she was found in all sorts of athletic programs, primarily fencing, which she took to like a duck to water. Her parents were proud of her, but her older brother found himself a different path. Marcello, despite guidance and pleading from his family, grew more and more involved in gang activity, and by the time Mathilde was 12, he had left them completely for a life of crime. Emotionally disowning him, Mathilde focused on her studies and her talent, not letting the loss ruin her future.<br/><br/>Less than a month after she saw her brother for the last time, Mathilde discovered her ability to use magic. While running late for class one morning, she had the off-hand wish that she could turn back time, and while that's not exactly what happened, she did see a bright flash and suddenly find it was ten minutes earlier. After some discussion with her counselors, she was sent to the tutelage of a very old, retired Fairy Tail mage who specialized in time magic, who agreed to teach the young girl what he could about using her powers responsibly. Now lacking her older brother as a role model, Mathilde grew very attached to this man, but, in his final lesson to her, he showed her that no one could truly escape time, passing away shortly before he was 17. While she hadn't give up on her focus of being an expert duelist, Mathilde decided there was no better chance to practice both of her crafts <em>and</em> honor the old man's memory than the Fairy Tail guild. With her parents' blessing, she set off to make a name for herself and her magic.</div></div></div>
