Mathlida Beckett has been cursed with a name that belongs on an old lady. Her parents, both "respectable" TI workers, want their daughter to grow up to be a "respectable" member of society.
Mattie's response:
Be as disrespectable as possible.
The Becketts told their daughter to dress respectfully, never talk back, to think properly, and date only clean cut boys.
Mattie dresses rebelliously, talks back at any opportunity, thinks impure thoughts on purpose, and dates the scrungiest boys she can find.
When she brought her first boyfriend home, she claimed he was her pimp and that "she was going to be the first in her family to earn some honest money." The Becketts forbade her from ever seeing that boy again.
The next boy was a lead singer/guitar player in a punk rock band. Mattie claimed they were going to get matching tattoos, and pointed out to her parents just where hers was going. The rock band now plays gigs in Britain.
Her parents enrolled her at the Academy so she can take business courses and follow in their footsteps. She responded by taking curses.
In reality, she is highly intelligent, and has quite the aptitude for what she actually attempts to take. However, her lack of attendance at most classes has resulted in her being a year behind. Which, in her view, just meant that much more time to hang out away from her parents...
