P E R S O N A L I T Y ______Matthew is a brave and charismatic dragon that doesn't take no for an answer and never has. He's an expert in always finding a way, and if nothing else his drive is not easy to deny. He's one of the better fighters in the Order, but has and always will put his family first. He can be very loud at times, but most of his clanmates see it as rallying rather than annoying. ______He can be a tad full of himself, and thinks his best quality is his adaptability -- arguably what drew him and Lumophen together in the first place. He's smarter than you'd expect for packing as much muscle as he does, but it's bred in him the idea that he doesn't need others help to get things done. He likes to do things alone when possible and grows impatient and snappy if he feels he's forced to carry anyone else's weight.

______Matthew came to the clan by accident, a rowdy and unkempt hatchling that had gotten separated from his parents in a dust storm. He quickly became one of the best fighters amongst other hatchlings his age and gained quite a following for it. He became quick friends with Lumophen, and quicker enemies with Brivet, the two fighting nearly constantly. They were each determined to prove themselves better than each other.
______All throughout their youths as they trained, they saught to tear each other down, creating a rift between his family and Brivets. It wasn't until much later that a surprise visit from Menta, the mother of Brivet, Velleity, and Rudeneja, that it was discovered Matthew was a part of the family too - her grandson, who had gone missing. While it was warm reunion between the two, the family ties between him and Brivet never truly mended. They continue to antagonize each other, but mostly have just learned to leave each other alone.
______Through hard work and dedication, Matthew became a well-respected fighter in the Order, but he sacrificed his chances at moving up further in the ranks to have a family with his beloved Lumophen. He strives to teach his children the importance of confidence and passion, instilling them with ambitions and dreams and helping them see it through as best he can.
