Role

Chapter 23

Malthalia has a lot of guilt and shame in her self. She was ashamed
of her behavior that day, ashamed that she did not help, that fear
froze her in her place. She lives through taht guilt almost constantly,
and it drives her on.

She is still a good-hearted person, and would not harm any of the light
if she is able to avoid doing so. She will seek the Village, and fully
expects to be denied, or if she is allowed a place, to die easily. She
cannot believe that life has any meaning for herself, and is oft inclined
to be careless of herself.

When singing, she cannot bring herself to sing in a comedic tone. The
lighthearted lyrics and joyous voice of that repertoire grates upon her
spirit. She most prefers the tragic repertoire, though will also freely
use the romantic voice so familiar to her kind.

Though never married to Mattias, she has taken his last name for her own.
Her parents worry over the depth of grief she has shown, and are quite
likely the only reason she has not already commited suicide.

She will sometimes exhibit moments of cheerfullness, similar to how she
was before the tragedy, but these tend to be shortlived before her more
usual moroseness sets in. She is unfailingly polite to all.
