Mathilda Lando is a 12-year-old, petite, small-framed American schoolgirl who lives with a dysfunctional family in a shitty apartment. She has brown bob-cut hair, brown eyes and wears a black choker around her neck.

Her casual clothes consist of crop T-shirts, stripey T-shirts, patchwork T-shirts & tank-tops. A white cardigan, an olive-green bomber jacket, short-shorts made from either cotton or denim, leather belts, socks & brown ankle boots.

Mathilda is a tomboyish, determined and fearless girl. Despite her courageous, resourceful exterior, she is a still naive and vulnerable girl. While her father & older sister are cruel towards her, & her mother is neglectful of her, the only member Mathilda genuinely loves & cares for is her younger brother.
