style ; Mattie has a very distinct style. Very few people realize, but how he dresses is a sort of camuflauge. He doesn't want pity or people liking him just because he's in a wheelchair so he purposely dresses to be unattractive. He goes with a patented 'geek style.' This often includes pocket protectors, sweater vests, and even a pair of thick glasses he doesn't actually need. If he didn't dress this way Matteus can be kind of considered cute, but the chance of anyone catching on to this is very small. Probably only his closest friends realizes his little ruse.

the personality[/color]
likes ;
INDEPENDANCE[/u] Anyone who can see can tell that Mattie has issues. Being wheelchair bound isn't the easiest thing in the world and it does unfortunately leave him occasionally leave him at the mercy of other people. But Everything that Mattie can do on his own he does, because he very much value the ability to do for himself. He likes not having to count on anyone else. Even the little things like pushing his own chair is something he savors. He takes great exception to people trying to take away his independance even if they are just trying to be nice.
MUSIC[/u] Mattie loves music in all of it's forms. There is nothing as soothing to him as just relaxing and turning on a record. He listens to anything from Sinatra to Metallica. No matter how bad his day is or how bad his mood is music can always cheer Mattie up at least a little. He has an extensive collection of music and is very proud of it. He's also extremely fond of his Vinyal collection. He also has a habit of restoring old record players. His room at home is strewn with different parts and peices and several in progress Record players that he's fixing at any given time.
HONESTY[/u] Mattie is a realist. He knows that the world is not full of rainbows and sunshine. He always acts otherwise, but at his heart Mattie is a boy who likes to get right down to the nitty gritty. The truth no matter how bad is always better than a lie. He hates people that lie. He knows this is more than a bit hypercritical as himself isn't exactly honest, but he prizes a cold hard honesty more than anything.
QUIET[/u] This is a like that would surprise most people. Mattie tends to be a loud slightly flamboyant joker and people expect him always to be like that. The fact that Mattie would much rather spend a quiet afternoon on his own tucked in front of a fireplace with nothing to keep him company but his thoughts is defintely a surprise. Mattie likes to use the quiet time to sort through his many thought. Sitting alone in the quiet is about the only time that Mattie actually feels comfortable and somewhat at piece.
MAGIC[/u] Magic was a life saver to Mattie. Magic would prove unable to give him the ability to walk again, but it gave him a level of independace he couldn't dream of before. Or well it will when he becaomes an adult and can use magic whenever he needs to. Magic gives him hope that one day he'll beable to be compltely independant and live without anyone's help. A lot of people don't appreciate magic. They take for granted a little levitation spell that can get a glass off the top shelf, or spell that can keep your chair dry in the shower, but Mattie knows that those little spells give him the chance to do things he normally wouldn't be able to do.
dislikes ;
HELPING HANDS[/u] People are people and most people aren't that bad. Most like to beleive they are good people and for the most part maybe they are. Most people would be happy to be surrounded by helpful people just waiting to lend a hand Mattie however is not one of those people. To him whenever someone offers to help it out it isn't because they want to help, but because they don't think he can do it himself. He's known to run over toes for anyone that dares hold a door open for him. Or tries to pick up his stuff if it should drop. Scr
