[mirazartsstuff]

I cannot do French accents normally anymore.

Because my go-to lines to get into the accent is just literally ANY OF HER VOICELINES

Only I can ruin my own voice acting with stupid brainrot like just squeaking out "MatILDA-" to get into it.

Journey Into The Long Night

It was quiet. Rare, in such a large suitcase.

Matilda had woken up in the middle of the night for two things; the first was a trip to the bathroom, and the second was to the lobby to find where she last placed her pen.

Now, yes, she could use any other pen... however, Matilda's pen was important as it was... well, her pen!

Upon reaching the lobby, however, the scent of incense washed over her nose. And, there after, a relaxed voice spoke. "Oh, Matilda. Good evening."

Matilda looked towards where Mercuria sat on the floor, cross-legged with her eyes closed in a pose for meditation.

"Evening? Mon dieu, Mercuria, it's one in the morning!" while her shouting was quiet, it couldn't hide the concern annoyance in her tone.

"Mm... is it? I've been trying to relax, but as you can see..." Mercuria made a vague gesture around her.

Matilda gave a sigh, shaking her head, sapphire eyes holding concern in them. "...Just... get to bed. As the Monitor Assistant, for both the SPDM and the suitcase, it's my duty to make sure that everyone has enough hours of rest, as to--"

"Wanna join?" Mercuria butted in, causing the young French lady to pause.

"...Eh?"

"My meditation. Normally, I would do it alone, but... I don't mind giving basic pointers to you, Matilda."

Her eyes opened to look at Matilda, and she was still in awe of how dazzling they were. Shaking her head once more, she quietly cleared her throat.

"If I do this, you will go to bed. Deal?"

"Mm. Sit down."

Matilda followed her instructions, sitting cross-legged.

"Now, you may already be familiar with meditation... however, since this is to clear our minds, and to better harmonise... we close our eyes..."

Matilda obliged.

"Breath in..."

A gradual yet slow intake of air...

"...And out."

...And a gentle exhale.

"Now, we repeat..."

The process continued for a while, until all Matilda heard was the continuous, harmonising intakes and outtakes of air.

...And soon, Mercuria heard quiet snoring in front of her. Opening her eyes revealed 'The Great Matilda' to have fallen asleep.

She smiled slightly at this, standing up and picking the girl up, walking her back to her room.

It was times like these that Mercuria truly felt connected to the universe.

Through that of a 'medium'; that of the young lady, Matilda Bouanich.

She was remarkable; in many positive ways, that Mercuria wouldn't be able to describe so simply.

But therein lied the beauty of it.

Matilda role analysis based on the latest event

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR FLOOR IT! TO THE GOLDEN CITY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I have to start this off with definitions of archetypal roles in literature if only, to ease you into what I am trying to say: A Main Character is the player through whom the audience experiences the story first hand, a Protagonist is the prime mover of the plot, and a Hero is a combination of both Main Character and Protagonist.

With that in mind, I'd like to state: Matilda is a Main Character and Joe is the Protagonist. I could, of course, be convinced of Joe being of the Hero archetype—if only because we see his perspective in glimpses. Mercuria is considered none of them in my opinion though. In fact, I'd argue to say Mercuria simply plays a supportive role. She is not a side or minor role, but a supporting role. Integral to plot, but not the driving force itself.

The driving force has always been Joe after all. Whether it's when Legers sent Gio to gather information on Joe to get, "A slice of the New Age Market pie," or when he enters the local Foundation building to find his estranged sister Paulina. In fact, when he goes to the Foundation, he causes a chain reaction that leads our main character Matilda to take center stage in search of him. He makes plans and deals in the background, while having Mercuria defect to branch the gaps between Legers hand and his own.

Our eyes and ears are Matilda, and after a certain point what we know and see is from her perspective. From her perspective, we see Legers pressure Joe with Hollick's life. We see Joe lose favor unfairly through her eyes. We believe that the only people still on Joe's side is Pioneer, Catseye Wisen, and Matilda. We don't realize that Mercuria is releasing Legers from the Order of Enlightenment through easing his denial and grief of his dying twin brother. We don't see Joe making agreements in the background, and we certainly don't realize others had access to the Elysium through Joe's dealings. We only learn bits and pieces at the very end where it comes to a head. To the point I began considering Matilda and Matheus as narrative foils to one another. As both are outsiders to the New Age Market crew in varying ways.

In Matheus's case, he is a member of Manus Vindicatae running the Order of Enlightenment cult in the New Age Market. His goals were to drain followers of the cult of all their valuables, and turn them into mindless Manus Vindicatae followers. All of it was meant to be given in tribute to the Guiding One. While he did ensare many of the more vulnerable and gullible citizens within San Francisco's New Age Market area; he could not ensare Joe, Mercuria, Becket, Hollick, or Catseye Wisen. Their distrust of authority and outsiders prevented him from truly leaving the city in the wake of a tragedy. He was never one of them, nor could he ever truly steal anyone from the New Age Market's tightknit community.

Whereas for Matilda, she's from the Saint Pavlov Foundation, sent to capture Joe because he broke visitors confidentiality regulations. She starts off just as rocky as Matheus, but unlike Matheus, she earns the New Age Market crew's respect through her actions against the cult and Manus Vindicatae. Although, they do still keep at an arm's length in their plans. Matilda may have their respect in regards to her determination to help them, but they do not trust her succeed. Let alone get them back up from the Foundation. They believe they have to solve it themselves, and solving it exactly what they do. It is only in the epilogue that Joe lets her fully into the inner circle by giving her a badge representing the trust and respect she's earned from them.

In a way, Matilda proves to Joe that he can trust the Foundation to help through her willingness to sacrifice herself for his survival, and even at the behest of his pleas for her to do otherwise. Despite his attempts to prevent her sacrifice and his own likely demise, Matilda and Joe fall unconscious, unaware of what is to happen next. In those unseeing moments, Matilda's promises of Foundation backpack come to fruition. All of this convinces Joe to leave San Francisco's New Age Market to Legers to join the Foundation, and giving Matilda the badge that signifies her place within his community as his friend.

As the epilogue begins to shift, Joe's story as the Protagonist ends. Moving Matilda's role as the Main Character to slightly into the role of Hero, while she searches for the whereabouts of her mother. With that note, I am almost certain Matilda's will end up the Hero of a future patch. Her character arc is not yet over, just as it began in Mor Pankh and it will not end in San Francisco. I cannot wait to see where Bluepoch takes us with her as the game continues it's journey.
