Biography
Como vai? My name is Alfredo Mata. I am the son of Alonzo from The Story of the Yara. I hail from the beautiful woodlands of Brazil.

My dad had an encounter with a creature called the Yara. He was caught behaving strangely, which upset his fiancee Julia. He had seen the Yara when he bathed in a pool, and was distracted by her song. Julia became increasingly worried about him, and eventually she gave him a shell to protect him. When the Yara came for him, Dad used the shell to hear Julia's voice instead of the Yara's - and it worked.

Dad was back to normal, and Julia accepted him as her husband. I am one of their eight children, and I'm the youngest. My older siblings are, from oldest to youngest: Gisela, Julio, Ligia, Livia, Anibal, Zeferina, and Roberto.

I go to Ever After High, where I am a Royal  I would like to continue my father's story and ward off the Yara. I am skilled at using shells - I wear one around my neck. I can use it to drown out noises. It's very helpful during assemblies, but not so much during classes.

I enjoy spending lots of time in the Enchanted Forest, where I often go swimming in the ponds. I enjoy the smell of the forest air - and the feel of the water in the streams and ponds. However, I try to be careful of unruly spirits that might be living in those waters. I also have a girlfriend Regina, who is a musician. I enjoy listening to her music, and she's teaching me how to play music too.
