Description
Matilda Matisse, often called Mati, is a fictional character from the manga and anime series Shaman King. She is a young shaman from England, born on July 19, 1986. Her background is marked by hardship; when her shamanic powers first manifested, the people around her, including her own parents, became frightened of her. She was ostracized and called a witch, which caused her deep sadness and a sense of isolation. This changed when she was taken in by Asakura Hao, who accepted her for who she was. Feeling immense gratitude and loyalty, Mati became one of his devoted followers.
In terms of personality, Mati is described as the cheeriest and most upbeat member of her team, Hana-Gumi. Despite her painful past, she maintains a bright and positive demeanor. Her primary motivation is her affection for Hao and her desire to support him in his goal of becoming the Shaman King. She is deeply loyal and grateful to him for rescuing her from a life of loneliness and fear. She also has a somewhat sensitive side; she is noticeably shaken and angered when Asakura Mikihisa slaps her, declaring that not even her parents dared to hit her, showing that she still carries the scars of her past mistreatment.
Within the story, Mati serves as a supporting character and a member of Team Hana-Gumi, a group of female shamans who are all followers of Hao. Alongside her teammates, Marion Phauna and Kanna Bismarch, she participates in the Shaman Fight to help Hao achieve victory. After the tournament concludes, she and the other members of Hana-Gumi are hired as waitresses at the Funbari Onsen hot spring resort, where they continue to live and work together. Regarding her relationships, her strongest bond is with Hao, whom she likes and credits for saving her. She is also close to her teammates, forming a tight-knit group. Her relationship with her parents is strained and ultimately ended when they abandoned her due to fear of her powers. In terms of notable abilities, Mati is a skilled shaman. She is specifically referred to as a "wudumaur," a type of witch or magic user, though specific details about her individual powers in combat are not widely detailed. Her true strength lies in her unwavering loyalty and her role as part of the unified team dedicated to Hao's cause.
