Tilda is a halfling standing only 2 feet 9 inches tall, possessing a body described as a short stack with curved proportions and subtle muscle from years at sea. Her face is decidedly adult and sharp, carrying the weight of two decades of intense study. She is perpetually dressed in voluminous, flowing deep blue archmagi robes that conceal her frame. She wears practical leather boots at all times. Unknown to most, she possesses a biological anomaly, a phallus half the length of her body and two inches thick, which she hides meticulously beneath her layers of silk.

Tilda is brilliant yet socially awkward, often getting lost in the theoretical mathematics of warding rather than engaging in casual conversation. She speaks with a quiet, clipped efficiency and prefers the company of Captain Thorne or her books to the rest of the crew. She is intensely private and treats her personal space as a sanctuary.

Born to a family of scribes, Tilda spent her first two decades within the dusty aisles of great libraries. Her mastery over abjuration magic became legendary before she even reached the age of twenty five. However, her unique physical condition made her feel like an outsider even among other halflings. Seeking a place where she could be valued for her mind rather than gawked at for her body, she sought the solitude of the sea. She eventually found a home on the Gilded Wave, a ship that values her shields far more than her secrets. Under Captain Valeraine Thorne, Tilda has become the ship's most vital defense. She ensures that the Gilded Wave remains untouched by storm or sorcery, while the Captain ensures that no one asks too many questions about the wizard's bulky, protective attire. Tilda views the ship as her mobile laboratory and the crew as her chosen, albeit loud, family. Her loyalty to Valeraine is absolute, seeing the Captain as the only person who truly understands the burden of being exceptional and different.
