It is said that over 150 years ago in the town of Darkness Falls, Matilda Dickson was adored by all the children. Whenever one of them lost a tooth, they would bring it to her in exchange for a gold coin earning her the name "The Tooth Fairy." But fate was not kind to Matilda. One night, fire tore through her home on Lighthouse Point leaving her face horribly scarred. Matilda's burned flesh was so sensitive to light, she could only go out at night always wearing a porcelain mask so no one could ever look upon her face. One day, two children didn't come home. The townspeople blamed Matilda. They hanged her tearing off her mask, exposing her hideous face to the light. And with her dying breath, Matilda laid a curse upon Darkness Falls. The next morning, the two children were found, safe and sound. The town buried their secret along with Matilda's body. Since then, there are some who believe that Matilda visits the children of Darkness Falls on the night they lose their last tooth seeking her vengeance on any who lay their eyes upon her face fulfilling her curse: "What I took before in kindness, I will take forever in revenge."

The main antagonist in
Darkness Falls, The Tooth Fairy is both the nightmarish combination of innocent childhood fairy tales and the boogeyman. Brought forth from vengeance, the body count of the Tooth Fairy is fairly impressive, as well as the terror that no where in darkness is a person save, and to 'stay in the light'.

Powers:
Ghost: Matilda Dickson is a powerful specter, whose sole purpose is to kill anyone who catches a glimpse of her hideous face, which is hidden behind a porcelain mask. Matilda cannot be reasoned with, bartered with, or killed through convention means. Matilda is immune to nearly all physical attacks (although can be stunned and slammed), and cannot be permanently harmed in those means. In addition, Matilda has the following abilities:
- Undead: Matilda no longer has the need to eat, sleep, breathe, or any of the other mortal trappings. As such, she is completely immune to attacks that would require her to make Endurance FEATS accordingly.
- Telelocation: Matilda can home in on victims who have seen her face with Rm (30) ability.
- Emotion Control: Fear: While not overtly stated within the movie, the novel states that those who see Matilda's true face are gripped with a terrible fear they cannot escape from. Matilda's fear generation is only against those who see her face at Am (50) intensity, causing an Int FEAT. Anyone below Rm (30) Int must begin the dying process.
- Shadow Body: Matilda can move between shadows, pass through objects, and fly.
- Natural Weaponry: Claws: Matilda can slash with Rm (30) ability, halving resistance protection in half , with each attack doing mystical damage. Matilda will always spend karma to raise yellow results to Red.
Contacts:
None
Limitations:
Light: Any illumination above Typ (6) will act as a deterrent to Matilda and prevent her attacks. Any Illumination above Gd (10) that actual hits her (like a focused beam from a halogen flood light) will do +2CS damage to her.
Hideous Appearance: Matilda is hideous, suffering a -2CS from all onlookers
Reputation: Everyone in Darkness Falls knows the story about Matilda Dickson, and how to ward her off, although few believe in her.
Note: The Tooth Fairy is a rather cool idea, and the movie wasn't terrible. Although defeated and believed destroyed at the end, it is clear that such things aren't always apparent.
