Background:
Matilda  is the daughter of billionaires Bruce and Samantha Clawson; owners of  Clawson Incorporated, the largest and most successful law firm in the  United Saurian Republic (USR). Her family’s wealth has never gone to  Matilda’s head and isn’t snobby because of it. She does however have a  bit of tomboyish attitude most of the time. She isn’t a “girly girl” and  doesn’t like to wear fancy dresses or skirts. However, she’s not afraid  to flaunt her sexy athletic body when she wants to. Unfortunately,  throughout her life she has had to deal with many “suitors” who she felt  only liked her for her family’s money. Coming from a wealthy family she  did learn how to defend herself as she grew up, and Matilda found she  had natural talent for martial arts and always pushed her limits to  improve herself. But she has had her share of “kidnapped for ransom”  situations throughout her life so far but surprising she never developed  any emotional scars because of it. Growing up, Matilda always insisted  on going to a public school rather than some preppy private one. So, she  attended and graduated from her local Saur City High School alongside  her best friend Amber (female Allosaurus) as well as Mark (male  Allosaurus) and Andy (male Ankylosaurus). Now in her mid-20’s Matilda is  attending Saur City University alongside her childhood friends. She is  studying for a law degree so that she can join in the “family business”.  She also plays on the college girls’ volleyball team and is currently  in a loving relationship with the T-Rex quarterback of the American  football team, Terry.

Aside from a few misadventures with her  friends here and there, Matilda felt she was living the dream. But it  was during one winter vacation in Colmaton, USA that her life began to  change in ways she never imagined. The SCU cheerleader squad (who  Matilda’s friend Amber is a member of) had won a holiday vacation to  Colmaton after winning a national championship competition. But one of  the squad members got sick and Matilda was invited to take her spot.  Having never traveled to Colmaton before, she was excited to go and  visit the “Heroine City”. Matilda had heard how big the Bureau of  Superheros (BOS) was in Colmaton but was curious to see it for herself.  The USR, like many UN nations, had signed the Superhero Relations Act  and had national headquarters of the BOS in Saur City. The USR had its  own share of BOS superheroes but none as famous as the ones in Colmaton  so Matilda was eager to go. But the excitement and fun times quickly  faded for her a few days into their vacation when Colmaton showed to  have a darker side as well.
One afternoon, after enjoying a day of  seeing the sights, Matilda and her friend Amber were suddenly kidnapped  from their hotel room by a dangerous criminal called Sharpfury. Matilda  had put up a good fight before Sharpfury put one of his knives to  Amber’s throat and threatened to hurt her if Matilda didn’t calm down  and behave. Not wanting to see her friend get hurt, she submitted and  both of the girls were then chloroformed into unconsciousness.  Fortunately for them, one of their friends witnessed Sharpfury escaping  with them and immediately ran to the local BOS and explained what she  had saw. When Matilda regained consciousness, she saw that they had been  taken to some industrial warehouse by their captor. She quickly noticed  that she had been tied to support beam, bound and gagged and had been  stripped down to only her lingerie. As she looked to her right she  noticed that Amber was in the same situation as her and that their  street clothes were laying across from them in a pile near a few storage  crates. Having privately studied a bit of escape-artistry, Matilda  quickly tried to get to work getting herself loose but was very  surprised by how thoroughly she was bound. But her attention quickly  changed to the gigantic, eye-patched lion who kidnapped them as he  smiled saying how some rich “benefactor” wanted them for his personal  harem and had been hired to keep them “comfortably tied up” until  delivery. As he moved around in between them he gloated saying how lucky  the girls were that his client had ordered them to be delivered only  wearing their underwear, otherwise he would have stripped them naked by  now. Matilda blushed and struggled for all she could as she felt one of  his hands start fondling her right breast swearing to fight this no  matter what. But to her fortune, she saw one of the warehouse doors  explode open and two masked heroines charge inside, who would later  identify themselves as Ranger and Lady Liberty. After a very brief fight  Sharpfury somehow managed to escape but Matilda and Amber had been  successfully rescued. Thankful for the rescue,
Matilda thanked them both and started to wonder if she might ever be that heroic.

It  would find out that at the end of that same school year, right before  summer break that she would discover the answer. Her grandfather, Henry  Clawson, had become deathly ill and it was on his deathbed when he  privately called for Matilda. Saddened by her beloved grandfather’s  condition, Matilda sat at his side when Henry gave her a secret family  heirloom. A box that contained palm sized flat sapphire gem that Henry  said contained mystic powers. Matilda was skeptical at first but was  surprised when the gem began to emit small electric energy as soon as  she touched it. Her grandfather went on to say that gem had been passed  down throughout the generations to those “deemed worthy” and that family  legend said that the gem had been a gift to one of their ancestors by a  “powerful sorcerer” back in the mythic days of old. Also, that the gem  granted members of their bloodline who wore it the ability to control  lightning and electricity. While he never admitted if he knew if that  was true, he made Matilda promise that, if the legend was true, that she  would only use its powers for good. While she was unsure about the  legend she promised that she would.

But the day after her  grandfather’s funeral, she decided to keep the gem with her wherever she  went, if for nothing else than to “carry her grandfather with her”. She  instantly noticed strange electrical disturbances all around her. She  noticed that she gained the ability to absorb, control and even project  electrical energy whenever she was somehow wearing the gem but lost  those abilities if she wasn’t. Realizing that she now had been given a  chance to great things and help people, she found new purpose and vowed  to keep her grandfather’s promise no matter what. She was mature and  responsible enough to realize that she could not do this journey alone  so she spoke with her childhood friend Andy, who agreed to help her by  designing and making the first version her superhero uniform. Matilda  also realized that she would need to learn how to control her new powers  and should seek out training from professionals in “being a superhero”.  While she could have easily spoken with her local BOS office, she  wanted to only be trained by the best and was able to contact her prior  rescuer Ranger in Colmaton. After being told the whole story, Ranger  agreed to take Matilda under her wing and sponsor her into the BOS.
