==Abilities and Powers==
Matryoshka can turn herself into a mess of ribbons, when inactive she has a humanoid form with horizontal lines across her body.<ref name="Cast1">'''Matryoshka''' – A monster with hair and body etched in horizontal lines, can unfold herself into ribbons and consume others, taking on a share of their memories and traits, simultaneously diluting herself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (Spoiler Free)]</ref> When absorbing an individual, some of their memories and appearance are absorbed into her costing some of her own. This effect can be repeated, but holding on to anyone too long ‘digests’ them.<ref name="list">Maddie?

She showcased the ability to hold people in suspension without absorbing them.<ref name="10.5">She walked away from the group and across the room.  As she did, her body started to come apart in ribbons.  As the ribbons came away, they revealed someone beneath.<br/><br/>The ribbons came together, forming a complete, different person, and then opened up once more.  ''Another'' person beneath.<br/><br/>So it went.  Each layer was something of a close relation with the one before it.  By the time she was on her fourth layer down, the first woman had recovered enough to get up and walk away.<br/><br/>The fourth layer down, as it happened, was Tattletale.  Two of her bodyguards seized her before her weight could come to rest on the legs that still had bloody bandages on them.  She was moved to a chair, and made a face as she sat down.<br/><br/>The rest of us remained gathered in the lobby.<br/><br/>“Gotta stick your nose in, huh, Vicky?”
