Backstory...
From the moment she could read, Matilda found comfort in books. As a cub, she was quiet, timid, and often overlooked in the bustling life of Coco Island. While other young lionesses trained in combat or played in the sun, Matilda sat beneath the shade, her nose buried in ancient texts and stories of faraway lands. She devoured every historical record she could find, from the rise of the Lazy Lions to the Great War and the formation of Coco Pride. Though she struggled to find her place among her peers, she found belonging in the words of those who came before her.

Growing up...
The Lazy Library, the first and most impressive structure built by Coco Pride, became Matilda's refuge. Carved into the mountainside to protect its vast collection, the library housed centuries of knowledgeāsome of which had been forgotten by even the eldest lionesses. Matilda spent hours meticulously restoring fragile scrolls and transcribing texts, ensuring that no story was lost to time. Though she remained soft-spoken and gentle, her presence in the library became undeniable. She knew its winding halls better than anyone, moving through the towering bookshelves like a ghost, quiet and ever watchful.

Currently...
Now, Matilda is the official librarian and historian of Coco Island, a role she upholds with quiet but unwavering dedication. She spends her days cataloging texts, translating ancient records, and ensuring that the deeper chambers of the Lazy Library remain undisturbed except by those who seek wisdom with true intent. She rarely raises her voice, her presence more of a whisper than a roarāuntil someone mishandles a book. A single misplaced text, a torn page, or a late return transforms her from a quiet scholar into a terrifying force, her rare and unmistakable roar sending even the bravest lion scrambling to make amends. She may not be a warrior in the traditional sense, but in the halls of the library, there is no doubtāMatilda is its guardian, and she defends knowledge with a fierceness that none dare challenge.
Location: Lazy Library, Coco Island
