She has a strong sense of independence, demonstrated by her decision to prioritize others' well-being over her own desires and her reluctance to conform to the expectations of high society.

.:Weaknesses:.

Self-doubt and fear of failure: Especially when it comes to her creative endeavours or taking chances. This sometimes holds her back from following her aspirations or putting herself out there. This goes hand in hand with her fear of failure. Despite her ambitions, Matilda has a deep fear of failing that holds her back from taking risks or trying new things.

Social alienation: After spending years in a different setting, Matilda feels alienated from the londoner social world around her and is unable to relate to this new environment.

Emotional repression: Tilly's propensity to conceal her actual emotions might be seen as a weakness because it can make it challenging for people to connect with her and comprehend her. She can also miss out on opportunities because of this.

.:Birthplace:. Primrose Hill, London

.:Family:. Father, mother, 2 older brothers, her lovely aunt (deceased).

.:Occupation:. Lady-in-waiting and Marchioness of Lansdowne

.:History:. Matilda, Tilly, Ramsbury was born into London's elite social class. She is the youngest of the Ramsbury children and the only girl. Along with her two brothers, she was raised in the city with other children from their social class, but at the age of 10, the girl was sent to live with her old aunt, the Marchioness of Lansdowne, in Sidmouth. Her aunt had a sick condition that required living near the ocean, and Tilly accompanied her to provide care and companionship.

Tilly had a strong, unbreakable bond with the Marchioness of Lansdowne, a woman who had become a widow at a very young age and had never remarried. Childless, the Marchioness found in her niece the daughter she had never had and this led them to become close. Tilly felt a deep gratitude towards her aunt and loved her dearly, demonstrating her tenderness towards the old woman by providing comfort and support during her illness. The Marchioness of Lansdowne also played an important role in Tilly's life, helping her discover her passion for poetry and encouraging her to pursue her interests, while at the same time trying to convince her to prepare for a married life.

Despite her aunt's attempts to convince her to find a suitable and wealthy husband, Matilda was always more interested in escaping reality through her poetry. She found solace in writing and creating fictional worlds, where she could be whoever she wanted to be and escape the societal expectations that weighed heavily on her.
When her aunt passed away, Tilly was heartbroken and felt like she had lost her closest friend and confidant. To some people's surprise, the Marchioness of Lansdowne named Tilly her only heir, allowing the young lady to inherited her title, her house in Sidmouth and her house in London, and becoming one of the wealthiest heirs in the city.

Unable to bear staying in Sidmouth any longer, Tilly found herself at the center of London's high society again, but the place and the faces no longer felt as familiar as they did all those previous years, when she was still a child. Tilly's presence back in London stirred the whole city, with people whispering about the new young Marchioness of Lansdowne. This caught the attention of the Queen herself who quickly almost forced her to become one of her ladies in waiting, a role that Matilda doesn't find as appealing as many other young women would. Tilly's absence during her time in Sidmouth meant that the girl had yet to make her official debut to the elite society, which was also something the young lady was not so eager about and that she still seems to be avoiding.
