This article is about the character. You may be looking for the female counterpart, the Star Wars version, or the Star Wars II versions.

Template:Infobox character 2 Matilda, the White Bird is the secondary tritagonist in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. First introduced in 2009, the character is one of the original five birds in the Flock. She is the only bird with two corpses.

She first appeared in level 2-14 of the first episode, Poached Eggs and has appeared as a playable character in every version and episode of the game released so far (except in Angry Birds Space), though she is not necessarily in all levels. In the Fuji TV exclusive episode: Sakura Ninja, White Bird appears dressed as a geisha. This was the first time she has appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.

Appearance

Matilda has a round that resembles an egg shape profile with three black feathers on top her head and black eyes. She also has yellow blush in each side of her eyebags and her stomach is off-white. In her defeat sprite her yellow blush becomes purple when she knocks the obstacles.

In Angry Birds Toons until Angry Birds 2, Matilda changes her appearance and the black feathers on top of her head and tail had a pink tip along with two tail feathers, her yellow blush is now pink and gains eyelashes on her both of her eyes.

In the Angry Birds Movie, Matilda appears as a white anthropomorphic Chicken with the same appearance as in her toons version but with white feathered arms, as she is shaped more like a teardrop than an egg. Her eyes are now teal instead of black, her beak is similar to Chuck's, but the top of her beak is taller. Her black and pink feathers at the back are now large and has three feathers instead of two and has extra three black thin large feathers. Her black and pink feathers on top of her head is also large and gains another feather to make it three feathers and has an orange feet.

Ability

Despite being one of the largest of the birds, Matilda is weak in physical strength. The egg bombs she deploys have decent power but suffer from a short blast radius and tend to be overestimated in their effect on the structure. Once the egg is dropped, Matilda's corpse then flies up and explodes to the right. Additional damage can be done to the fortresses if the egg is dropped in such a way that it launches the corpse into the structure.

In the movie version, Matilda uses the same ability as her game counterpart but the egg bomb that she deploys has a pink hue as it explodes in a pink dust once launched, and proceeds to bounce around upon impact with a solid object, unlike the game counterpart. She can also lay egg bombs as she pleases to deal more of the pigs on the ground as well.

Character

Personal data

• Name: Matilda
• Known aliases: White Bird
• Group affiliation: The Flock
• Voiced by: Antti LJ Pääkkönen, Maya Rudolph (The Angry Birds Movie)

Personality

Matilda is as responsible as Red but not as stressed as him. She has the essence of a mother. Matilda is very caring, especially towards the Blues as the young ones always got into trouble. Matilda is a peaceful bird who hates to fight the pigs. All she wants is just a peace between birds and pigs. Matilda also seems to exhibit anger issues, since when she encounters some disappointing situations, she reacts in a way of coping herself through self-talk.

While she does appear to lay eggs, the eggs explode. She has been seen in the presence of another female White Bird during the Angry Birds Seasons episode Hogs and Kisses, but her full connection with this bird is unknown.

In the movie, she was a teacher in anger management. Similar to her game counterpart, she is a peaceful bird that tries to control anger for others. She always teaches the birds on how to control their anger through different means; Yoga, Poems, Painting etc. Even large birds like Terence have a big crush on her. However, she was proven to be scary and formidable when the situation calls, during the time she deal with the pigs with her egg bombs.

Her description was updated into the movie version.

HIPPIE OF THE FLOCK

Matilda is the leader of the anger management class on Bird Island. She is a former angry bird herself, but has since learned the error of her ways. Now she makes it her business to keep the good vibes going at all times.

History

Little is known about Matilda’s history before the events of the first Angry Birds

game or how she acquired the ability or skills to drop explosive eggs.

In the course of the battles with the pigs, she has traveled to many different locations and environments, including the desert, underground caves and beaches. The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions. In one instance, the pigs captured the entire Flock, including Matilda. It was only for the actions of Terence that the Flock was freed.

At an indeterminate time later, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu and Jewel and their friends against Nigel and Mauro and his marmosets. Bomb and Matilda did not appear originally in Rio, but arrived shortly after the others, so it is possible they were not captured originally and made their way to Rio to find Red, Chuck, and The Blues, or were captured at later times.

In addition to Rio, Matilda has also traveled to China twice and Japan once, where she wore a geisha costume.

In another adventure, many of the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained super powers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs. Matilda appears to be left behind.

Relationships

This section needs to be expanded

Red

"How about that, my teacher can shoot fireballs out of her butt." -Red regarding Matilda in the Angry Birds Movie

Red and Matilda have a very stable relationship. Red entrusts Matilda in looking after the eggs, and Matilda also concerns in Red's mental state and his anger. They first met within anger management classes, as she was his instructor. Matilda is also a valued member in Red's flock.

Bomb

Bomb and Matilda definitely have some sort of romantic relationship. Bomb kisses Matilda in the Toons episode Clash of Corns and Matilda thinks about Bomb 4% of the time. Matilda was also Bomb's anger management teacher and mentor in The Angry Birds Movie. In the Angry Birds Comic, "The Garden", Bomb volunteers to watch over Matilda's garden when she goes away for a wildflower-hunting expedition. She calls him sensitive and caring and even kisses Bomb before leaving, hinting that she may have feelings for Bomb. While she's returning, she states that she didn't worry about her garden because Bomb was looking after it, suggesting that she trusts Bomb the most out of all the birds. One bird in the background even says that Bomb likes Matilda. When she comes back, she is overjoyed to see that her garden became a water garden and gives Bomb a big hug while blushing. But she was unaware that Bomb accidentally flooded her garden with too much water while she was away.

Minion Pigs

The pigs like Matilda for her caring personality. In the Toons episode Robo-Tilda, she cares for the damaged minion pig. For the most part, she doesn't want to hurt the pigs sometimes, but rather just wants peace between them and the Flock.

Terence

In the Angry Birds Movie, Terence shows multiple romantic feelings for Matilda. She is also his mentor in anger management class.

Qui-Gon Jinn

Template:Infobox character 2 Qui-Gon Jinn, also known as Quail-Gon Jinn in several Angry Birds Star Wars Books, is the master of Obi-Wan Kenobi and he has the ability to use a green lightsaber to destroy objects and pigs. He is defeated and killed by Darth Maul on Battle of Naboo. Anakin Skywalker Jedi Padawan has the same exact ability. This is the second male role Matilda plays, the first is C3-PYOLK.

Personality and behavior

Qui-Gon is a bold bird who prefers to do things his own way. He is never happy to go along with others, everyone has trouble telling him what to do. This Jedi Bird often takes on dangerous missions others would not do. Jinn is quite good at feeling the force as he was the one who saw that the force was strong with Redkin Skywalker / Anakin Skywalker. However, he did not know that Redkin will be an evil Sith in the end.

The evil Count Dodo (or Dooku) was Quail-Gon's teacher before he went to the Pork Side. Although he is very experienced, he was slayed by Darth Maul. He was shocked, as the Jedi thought that the Sith was extinct. Although usually grumpy, he shows patience towards Obi-Wan, who is his student.

Qui-Gon Jinn appears as an enemy in two levels of Angry Birds Star Wars II. The first is level 20 of Escape to Tatooine. He appears from the spaceship with his green lightsaber once all other birds have been destroyed. Even though he falls off the ship after being defeated, the following cutscene he still appears in the ship. He also appears in level 20 of Battle of Naboo along with Obi-Wan. He will slash any blocks that get near him with his green lightsaber. Once he is defeated, he is considered dead in the game's canon.

Matilda A strong healer who also packs quite a punch! BASE STATISTICS: HP: ??? AD: ??? Cleric Cleric Elite Cleric Legacy Cleric Cosmic Cleric Healing Strike Deals 110% AD damage and heals all birds for 25% of the damage dealt. Healing Shield If any bird takes damage, all birds are healed for 15% of the taken damage. Lasts 3 turns. Pros Heals the entire team each attack. Healing Shield also works as defense boost but also heals other birds during a single-target attack. Cons Healing from Healing Strike is dependent on the damage dealt, meaning less healing if Matilda attacks a protected enemy or currently has an attack reduction. Additionally, this class’s healing is not as high as Matilda’s other classes. (Note: it is highly recommended for the player to switch this class with the second one in line (Druid) as soon as possible) Power Boost Overall Druid Druid Elite Druid Ice Druid Easter Druid Thorny Vine Deals 35% AD damage. Target receives 100% AD damage each turn for 3 turns. Regrowth Heals target bird for 22% health and all other birds for 10% health (percentages are based on Matilda’s health). Pros Poisons all enemies except pirates. High poison damage allows Matilda to either heal the team or attack another enemy while the afflicted target receives a total damage of 335% AD. Furthermore, Regrowth’s healing is especially useful against enemies who deal more damage to one target but less damage to all others. Cons Healing is not as effective against high AOE damage, as it requires equal healing among the team. Power Boost Overall Princess Princess Elite Princess All-Star Princess Challenger Princess Royal Order Deals 125% damage. Forces all enemies to attack the bird which currently has the highest health for 3 turns. Royal Aid Heals target bird for 30% of Matilda’s health and removes all its negative effects. Pros Has the highest direct healing of all Matilda’s classes. Moreover, Royal Order works well with Royal Aid as a crowd-control ability. If healing on the targeted bird is not enough to compensate for the high combined damage received, Royal Order can be used again to divert the enemies’ attention to another bird while the first bird gradually recovers health. Cons Royal Order means that, unless it’s a battle against pirates, combined damage from all enemies against the targeted bird might be more than Matilda's healing and therefore knock the bird out. Additionally, in the case of high AOE damage, healing is ineffective as it is single-target. Power Boost Overall Priestess Priestess Elite Priestess Mummy Priestess Angelic Touch Deals 2x 70% AD damage. Birds attacking this target regain 10% of their maximum health. Lasts 3 turns. Spirit Link Connects to target bird. All connected birds share healing, except potions, for 3 turns. Pros Works well with other classes that have healing abilities, such as Paladin and Spies, while Spirit Link is activated. Angelic Touch is also not dependent on damage dealt for reliable healing, and this gets even better with multi-strike classes such as Samurai and Cannoneer. Cons The main drawback of this class is that, unlike most of Matilda’s other classes, its healing is reliant on a debuff and it is therefore not as useful against pirates. Power Boost Overall Bard Bard Elite Bard Christmas Bard Superhero Bard Heavy Metal Deals 160% AD damage with a 15% chance to stun target for 1 turn. Soothing Song Heals all allies for 10% AD health, and they also heal for 5% health each turn for the next 3 turns. Pros Deals the highest base damage of Matilda's classes (tied with Witch) and has the ability to stun enemies. Can also gradually heal the entire team each turn, and since the healing is equally distributed it can be useful against AOE damage. Cons Soothing Song can be removed even before it starts, and healing is not much when compared to Matilda's other classes. Power Boost Overall Witch Witch Elite Witch Challenger Witch Sinister Smite Deals 160% AD damage. Each turn for 3 turns, target takes 15% of the damage dealt from this attack and Matilda heals for the same amount. Giant Growth Increases target ally’s attack power and health by 20% for 3 turns. Pros Deals the highest damage of Matilda's classes (tied with Bard). As an added bonus, the poison-like effect from Sinister Smite heals Matilda each turn and deals even more damage on top of the already high damage from the initial attack. Giant Growth also enables the target to last longer and hit harder. Cons Pirates are immune to Sinister Smite’s poison debuff. Additionally, since the healing Matilda receives through Sinister Smite is dependent on her raw damage, she will not heal as much if she has an attack reduction applied on her. Power Boost Overall Rage Chili Heals all birds for 35% health and removes all their negative effects. Rage Chili - Arena Heals all birds for 30% health, banner for 10% health and removes all their negative effects.
