GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Matthieu is a willowy, slender boy, tall for his age and very gangly. He’s more limb than not but for some strange reason it works well together. He’s pale but not to the point of looking sickly. He spends a lot of time in Sothern France during the summer but rarely tans for reasons beyond his comprehension. This doesn’t faze him as much as perhaps it should and he manages well enough without the tan that he believes he truly doesn’t need. Despite the pale skin and the tall, gangly body structure; Matthieu is actually quite pretty. No one would say he is handsome because that doesn’t do him justice. He is not handsome because he is beautiful. He has delicate feminine features and everything that is a part of his face looks as if it was sculpted specifically for his use then sanded down to form the delicate face he has. Matthieu has a small scar on the skin just above his upper lip. It is almost invisible unless in a certain light and even then it is hard to make out.

BOGGART:
When Mathias encounters a Boggart his whole world goes black. Black smoke surrounds him and fills the room completely. Then, the fog in front of him appears and two familiar figures appear; his mother and his father. He can do nothing but watch as the killing curse is cast from an unknown direction at his mother and his father, seemingly unmoved by his wife’s death, just walks away.

PATRONUS:
Mathias thinks of his mother when he casts his Patronus. He thinks of her smile, her laugh and everything that makes her, her. The form takes the shape of an Arctic Fox, coincidentally the species of his familiar, Katrina.

DEMENTOR:
Around the time Mathias got his Beauxbatons letter he was walking around the upstairs searching for his father. His mother was out so he head to the bedroom, hoping to cut through to the stud y and find his father. But what he found was a woman curled around his father dressed in scantily clad clothing. He could imagine his mother’s face and it broke the trust he had for his father and automatically became more loyal to his mother, no longer trusting the man that had betrayed his family.

AMORENTIA: Red Wine, Baguettes, Blue Cheese.

MIRROR OF ERISED:
To have the family back together again. Mathias feels the separation in the air... he just wants everything to gel together again.

PERSONALITY:
Mathias is a typical French teenager. He’s happy, go-lucky and loves life just like everyone else. He’s particular about a lot of things but that usually gets thrown out of the window because of his disorganised nature. He is very much a mummy’s boy but only because he feels incredibly loyal to his mother and feels that she deserves one man in her life that won’t stab her in the back. He loves her dearly and he loves his siblings to despite not having such a close relationship with them as they favour and are bonded more with his father. Mathias has two sides, the light and the dark side. His negativity usually comes to the head when he is with his father and he is never really sure how he should act around the man. It also comes out when he’s with people that believe they’ve got some kind of authority over him. He believes people should earn respect, not automatically have it.

Early Years:
At some point during the late 1990’s, Philippe and Katriane met in Nice. The amateur artist was out on the street painting the passing people and just generally watching life pass. Katriane happened to be outside a large community centre which had been rented out for a group of novelists meeting together to discuss new books. Despite the cliché it was truly love at first sight for the both of them. Katriane hadn’t come from a wealthy family like Philippe. She’d had to work for everything she owned and they made a perfect, if not incredibly convenient, match. It wasn’t soon after that they married and settled down in the French Capital. Then, not long after the marriage, Dariel was conceived.

Mathias was the second to be conceived and was born on a cold winter morning. Snow coated the ground and robins were sitting on the branches of the naked trees, singing tunes that no one could decipher. His birth took a little over four hours and he was born completely healthy at the French equivalent of St. Mungo’s. He was taken home a few hours later and his little life began without a hitch. He was given toys to play with and was constantly entertained. To prepare him for school, Katriane wanted to send Mathias to a Muggle school near their home to have him learn English as well as French and everything else he needed to learn. But actually, Philippe had other plans. Mathias studied with Dariel and the twins who were a year younger than Mathias. Then, gradually, they began to go off to Beauxbatons. Dariel was probably the one that kept the family’s morale up; his wicked sense of humour being the source of laughter for everyone and he was greatly missed by the twins, Mathias and Katriane. Then, of course, it was Mathias’ turn to go to the great school. It was some point before the beginning of school that he found out about his father’s affair, catching him in his and Katriane’s bed with another woman. It was at that point that Mathias’ faith in his father was broken and he invested more and more love into his mother.

Beauxbatons Years:
Naturally Mathias was already aware of his heritage and there was no doubt that he wasn’t a wizard. He didn’t find Beauxbatons much of a difference to being at home except for the fact that socialising was a must. There was also that irritating little sport called “Quidditch” that it was important to take part in. Mathias found that he preferred to watch over playing as the whole flying-playing-a-game thing didn’t really mix. He could fly fairly well but he didn’t like the speed – and still doesn’t. When the opportunity to play Quidditch came around, especially in lessons, Mathias elected to do some kind of textile workshop. His grades were and still are average. He scrapes by. He’s no wonder student and neither is he the worst at Beauxbatons. He found the teachers agreeable and the Veela women incredibly interesting. Unfortunately Mathias spends more time thinking about other things than school so he’s rarely kept in the loop because he’s about as good as a lamp post when it comes to retaining gossip.
