Name: Matthew Verdid
Age: 13-19
Gender: Male
Height: 5’11-6’2
Matthew is something of a laidback jokester, sprinkled with bits of naïvety. He takes some pride in his attempts to help others, and seeing others laugh puts a smile to his face just as it does to others.
Just below the surface, however, lies a self-loathing boy who agonizes over every mistake. Attempts to confront him on his self esteem are met with jokes and handwaves, but his problems with self-worth have distorted his worldview quite a bit. Rather than trying to make a name for himself as a professional musician as he’d always wanted to, he forces himself to take on jobs for others — namely, having taken the job of running his father’s tea shop to allow his sister to roam free.
In that sense, his selflessness has started working against him, almost as if it were a fatal flaw — almost by reflex, he throws himself to the wind, playing second fiddle no matter how he truly feels on the subject. There doesn’t appear to be an upper limit to just how much he’ll do to please somebody else — his sister seems to be the only one who can restrain him from going too far and hurting himself in the process.
However, deep in his heart, he wishes to roam free as an accordionist — and more than that, he wishes to cross the Entralink to find a friend long gone.
Generally, his Pokémon team consists of a shiny Lilligant named Queenprotea, a Cottonee named Hydrangea, and a Snivy named Bluebell. From what it seems, Bluebell was a gift from a friend in Nuvema Town, and Queenprotea was a gift from his father. He also takes care of innumerable Petilil.
Depending on the RP, Queenprotea may instead be a Petilil.
