Matilda

Overview
Matilda is one of the protagonists of the fan fiction Dragon God's Boredom by Talon C. Matilda is also one of the many descendants of Aeternarcha, as Aeternarcha created the Dragons.

Appearance
Matilda is a eleven-year-old girl with long, black hair and green reptilian eyes. She has a pair of pitch black Dragon wings and a long black tail with two fins at the end, although one fin was cut off when Dragon slayers from the church attempted to kill her along with her parents. The lost fin was replaced with another one made by Aeternarcha, though it is red scaled and bears a small skull-like emblem on it (whether this was intended or not is unknown). Matilda also has two ear-like appendages on her head that are positioned depending upon her mood, similar to a bunny.

Her choice of outfit varies depending upon the current place and/or situation, though the most prominent choice of dress is a short, black nightgown.

Personality
While acting not unlike a normal human child her age, Matilda doesn't take kindly to being offended, nor anyone offending or endangering her allies but is usually quite shy and reclusive when not threatened. She shows a sense of great curiosity, imitating Aeternarcha's actions and mannerisms until told not to.

One of the most notable mannerisms of Matilda is her almost full dependence of Aeternarcha, considering the fact that she is still a hatchling Dragon who's parents were taken. As such, Aeternarcha decided to raise her as his own. Matilda also shows to be stubborn, absolutely refusing to leave Aeternarcha's side.

Summary
When Aeternarcha was strolling through a forest in the United Kingdom, Aeternarcha was ran into by Matilda, who was running from a mob of Dragon slayers sent by the Catholic Church. Matilda, in a moment of fear and desperation, hid behind Aeternarcha when the Dragon slayers confronted them. The Dragon slayers made the mistake of angering the Father of Dragons and were thus wiped from the face of the universe, much to Matilda's relief.

Aeternarcha asked why she and her parents were hunted, as the dragon slayers wouldn't hunt a Dragon down for no reason. Matilda explained that when her mother died from an illness, her Dragon father turned into an Evil Dragon. The death of a life mate, Dragon or not, consistently causes a monumental hatred to fester. These Dragons, feeling empty and angry, then rage upon the world they see as unfair and a sin. As such, they sow chaos wherever they can.

As such, Matilda's father went on a rampage, garnering the attention of the Church, who were quick to send Dragon slayers to deal with the issue. However, upon the discovery of the half-breed child, they zealously opted to kill her as well. Fortunately, Matilda had gotten away with the left fin on her tail cut off.

Abilities
Draconian Abilities: After having been trained in combat by Aeternarcha, Matilda became quite adept at using her natural gifts to drive off her opponents. One interesting trait is Matilda's ability to extend her tail to an incredible length. Whether this is a physical trait or with the assist of magic remains to be seen. Matilda is also capable of swimming at breakneck speeds and breathe underwater using her apparent gills, hinting at the heritage of an aquatic Dragon.

Highly Developed Senses: Much like a bloodhound, Matilda is able to track a person, place, or object by identifying their scent, thus she is able to pinpoint their location. Matilda's hearing and seeing are also more sensitive than most hatchlings her age.

Flight: Being part Dragon, Matilda is capable of sustained flight using her Dragon wings.

Trivia

 * Matilda's name originated from the movie of the same name, which was one of my favorite movies.
 * Having Toothless as a nickname was also thought of, but ultimate scrapped due to Matilda having teeth that don't retract.
