Bio: A hardworking, bookish type, Matilda has always been very shy, until it came to her studies, or helping someone. A biology professor at the local university, Matilda thought she had all that she could have ever wanted. She was married to an attractive, successful man, her high-school sweetheart, had a wonderful career that she loved, and was even thinking about having children. One day, however, when she came home early from work, she found her husband cheating on her with one of her students. Distraught, Matilda tried reasoning with herself, and clung onto her husband, who only tortured her with three more affairs. Eventually, he filed for divorce, after getting his latest mistress pregnant, and when asked why, he said that she was not his type anymore. He couldn't stand a woman more intelligent than him, nor as quiet as she was. He preferred her students, all of whom were very zealous, and very attractive.
Heartbroken, Matilda took the remainder of her belongings, and her cat, Bast, so named after the Egyptian cat goddess, to an apartment complex near her favorite place, and tried to get her life back in order. After regular coping methods proved useless, the professor turned to liquor as her relief, and whenever she grew sad over her husband's betrayal, she would drink herself into a stupor, and pass out in her apartment until the next morning. She did not know that she had a problem, nor did anyone point it out to her. The already meek Matilda had withdrawn further, until the only time people saw her, was when she was either working, in the park, reading, or volunteering at the homeless shelter, which she did to keep herself occupied between grading and reading.
