He is tall somewhat handsome and gets good grades. If he still had a mother she would probably be bragging about him to everyone who would listen and Nathan would of course sit red faced and deny every bit of praise shot his way, because such is Nathan humble to the point of delusion of his own worth. He refuses to put himself over anyone else because he believes that his triumphs is solely based on luck and great timing, rather than his hard work and diligence. The one thing he took away from his father was that if you wanted a good life you had to work hard, nothing was ever going to be handed to you. So therefore Nathan almost never slacks of when it comes to work or school which can be to the annoyance of his friends when he says no to the second party in a row. Kind at heart Nathan will always be the one to listen to your stories good or bad because he is a people person who cares deeply for social interaction and he likes to have a large network of contacts and keep those bonds as strong as possible. He is to his own fault sometimes to trusting though as he likes to see the best in everyone even if they clearly doesn't have his best interest at heart and he has been let down because of this a lot of times. Though he feels like an positive outlook on life is what creates a great one and he will stick to that until the day he dies. He has a kindness to him which makes him extremely approachable and that might be why he always gives a cheery "Hello!" at you when you pass him in the hall. Though his cheery exterior is somewhat hard to crack since he keeps his chewy personal center mostly to himself, only his closest friends know about his family situation and he likes to keep it that way. Nathan always wanting to always make the right choice not only by him but for the people around him makes him very indecisive and that often results in him missing out on things that could better his future or others. This is a trait he is trying to shake of by being more carefree and take risks, but even in this he is unsure of what that is and when to be carefree. He is an notorious over-thinker and will focus on one small aspect and obsess over it until it's fixed or vanishes somehow. He is also quite rancorous, if someone had been mean to him or otherwise done something that he does not agree with, he will hold it against that person until he is proven wrong. He can be a loyal friend but he can also drop you without a backwards glance if you piss him off enough.

So he and his sister Addison had the start of a quite normal and happy childhood until tragedy happened when he was six, his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at a routine checkup. And though she put up a good fight for a year or so she eventually succumbed to the demon growing inside of her and she passed away. Naturally the family was broken down in despair Molly Matthews was the guiding light for so many people and mostly so for Nathan's father Liam who took the death of his darling wife so hard he went in to a depression so deep that he was not recognizable, he lost his job as an high school psychology teacher and subsequently lost the house in which they had been living in, which meant they had to move in with Nathan's grandparents. His father never really recovered from his wife's death and spent most of the day lying in bed being unreachable and while Nathan would never go as far as to say that it was neglect, he cannot say that his father raised him. That lot fell on his loving grandparents. But as time wore on his grandparents grew weary of Liam's behavior and eventually made him go back to his teachers job, which meant they had to move away to Content, OH where a new school graciously hired his father. Uprooting Nathan just as he was about to enter high school, so when they arrived in this small town Nathan had a chance to start over and he was hell bent on creating a better life for him and his sister here! Fortunately Content High had some really awesome people and he got a few friends he was certain he wanted to keep for life. With his father working all the time now to provide for them Nathan now had to take care of not only himself but also for his sister Addison, and why he would never say that this was a bother to him. He was robbed of his childhood as he had to grow up far too early than a normal boy should have to. Now in his late teens he is very protective of his sister and will go through anything to aid her in whatever she asks of. But his relationship with his father is forever tarnished and Nathan can't see a way that this could be mended.
