Ensign Matilda Ajan was one of the minor characters in the classic anime TV series Mobile Suit Gundam.

Miss Matilda was the commanding officer of the Earth Federation's Medea supply corps. At times Matilda also served as a personal envoy for General Revil, carrying messages and orders from him to other ships. When the White Base was trapped in Zeon controlled airspace over North America it was the vital supplies delivered by the Medea supply corps which allowed the beleaguered assault carrier to make repairs and escape over the Pacific Ocean.

Due to her habits of showing up when the White Base was in a bind and helping them in whatever way she could Miss Matilda was looked to as the guardian angel of the vessel. Also due to her stunningly beautiful looks she became the dream girl of many of the young male crew members staffing the White Base. Miss Matilda was engaged to Lieutenant Woody Malden, who was stationed in the Earth Federation headquarters of Jaburo.

When the ship reached Asia, Miss Matilda gave the White Base orders to head to Ukraine to take part in Operation Odessa, a large-scale military operation to wrest control of the mining facilities at Odessa away from the Principality of Zeon. However, on route to participate in the battle the White Base was attacked by the Zeon ace pilot trio, the Black Tri-Stars. In order to protect the White Base Matilda sacrifices herself, crashing her Medea into one of the Black Tri-Stars' Doms. Ensign Matilda Ajan was killed in action on November 06, Universal Century 0079. Later, Amuro meets Lieutenant Woody in Jaburo and apologizes for not being able to protect Matilda, but Woody forgives him since it was war and she died doing what she loved the most, protecting her friends.
