He enjoys social interaction and loves being the center of attention. While Mat likes to think of himself as a kind person, jokes always have someone at the butt end. Mat also particularly enjoys making Divination readings into a spectacle for entertainment. [b]House:[/b] Gladium [b]Bio:[/b] Born to two muggles, Mat was completely unaware of the magical world. As a boy Mat found himself interested in magic tricks, palm readings, dream interpretation, tarot cards, and other kinds of fortune telling. Although he never thought any of it was actually real, he studied it intensely and eventually began to have a knack for it. When his parents got the invitation for Mat to join the Salem Academy, they were skeptical. They showed it to Mat and they all agreed it was a con and thus discarded the invitation. When they got another, they thought they were being pranked. Mat was the first to believe it was real but his parents, the logical Muggles they were, remained unconvinced. Finally, as the letters poured through their letterbox, they were finally convinced. Mat was utterly stunned when he saw the school. It was something out of a fantasy. The magics he had been learning were nothing compared to the feats that the wizards at the school could perform. Mat spent his first year with his jaw officially plastered to the ground. However, as the years went on, he became more accustomed to the lifestyle. Though, even with all new doors opening for him, Mat still remained interested in Divination above all else. In fact, Mat learned that he had such accurate readings from the imprecise methods he had previously learned was because he was born with a natural talent for being a Seer. Although Mat isn't very serious about having this gift, his parents are quite proud of him.
