Matilda

An elder female elven wizard from the school of Transmutation, she is more than she appears to be at first glance and a great friend to adventurers new and veteran.

History
Not much is known about Matilda's past. She was a member of an unknown adventuring group that included Alton Goodhearth, owner of the Halfway Inn. As a parting gift and thank you for all their adventuring days, she enchanted the inn to have every luxury for him and his new bride. Nothing is known about her other adventuring partners.

The Scribbling Scribe
At some point, she found the adventuring life to be not to her tastes and opened the Scribbling Scribe. A shop that looks more like someone's attic than a place of business. Her door is said to open to three locations (Sunrise, Midday, and Sunset), but she has let slip about a fourth location. (Presumably Alexona.)

The Misfits and Miscreants
Upon meeting the new adventuring party, she gave them outrageous discounts and stayed up all night enchanting Norm's swords. Later she admitted that this was her way of 'paying it forward' and helping out those who are just starting out.

Surprisingly, she showed up at Alexona at the Temple of Bahamut summoned, presumably by Lady Odandran. There she gave the party information pertaining to the locations of the Orbs and the history of  the universe and its creation.

Trivia

 * At their first meeting with the Misfits and Miscreants, she was described as being quite elderly in appearance, though after a bit of time and game play she has evolved. Though still quite old, she is not as advanced in years as initially described.
 * She is 430 years old.
