Character Bio■ Character Name: Matchitehew (Meaning: He has an evil heart) Adahy (Meaning: Lives in the woods)
■ Nickname: Match / Mat (He'll often say something along the lines of ''Whichever you prefer to scream out")
■ Aliases: N/A
■ Monster Species Type: Wendigo
■ Gender: Male
■ Age: 14
■ Birthday: April 9th
■ Place of Birth: Canada, BC
■ Residence: A small tribe in Northern BC where he was born until he moved into the dorms at Horror High
■ Power: N/A
His only powers are what is natural to his kind, while some Wendigos may be blessed with something more special....all Match has is heightened reflexes and senses. Any shows of strength he may feel the need to exert come from natural training, as thus most of his 'powers' or even natural gifts come mostly from using them so often in the woods.
■ Personality:
-Loyal
Matchitehew is the kind of monster that is there when his friends need him, he's loyal to them and would never intentionally betray or hurt them. If he sees another monster bullying someone he'll usually step in or at the least prank them later to 'teach a lesson'.
-Accepting
Something his tribe taught him was to be accepting and relaxed about things, while it was often things he disagreed with he did find that he could push aside prejudice and take things as they came. He has no qualms with normies or any specific species of monster, but rather takes offense instead to personalities he doesn't like.
-Playful
He's an active and fun-loving monster, enjoying things like parties or classes like gym where he gets to move around. He tries to turn everything into a game to make boring things seem more fun.
-Flirtatious
Rarely does Match flirt with others out of interest, Match likes to joke around and flirting tends to be one of his usual ice breakers. He likes to joke around, making overly zealous proclamations of love or just using innuendo to make someone laugh. If that sort of thing makes someone awkward he becomes more awkward about trying to deal with them.
-Insensitive
While Match can be very fun and playful he can also be ignorant of other monsters' feelings, such as seeing someone hurt and thinking he can help by distracting them rather than help solve the problem. He's awkward when it comes to serious situations and prefers to try to avoid them so his friends don't get mad when he accidentally hurts someone's feelings.
-Fickle
Another of his less favorable traits is how flighty he is. Match has a terrible attention span, if he finds something boring he'll go take his business elsewhere. If someone is acting boring he'll go bug someone else. Matchitehew likes getting reactions out of people, but if he can't get their attention he won't work too hard for it.
-Prankster
Tying braids to chairs, stink bombs, cherry bombs, duct-taping eyebrows, unscrewing seats.....his list of pranks is endless. He likes others to know it was him as well, so the victims of his pranking often dislike him....but others sometimes find it pretty funny. His preferred prey is those that deserve it, but if he can't find any of his faves he doesn't mind extending himself.
■Short Bio: Match is a well-adjusted (for the most part) non-violent Wendigo. Any violent traits the species is well known for is only interpreted as childish pranking in his personality. Where there are vicious tribes of Wendigo, his is a very open-minded one (Both in violence and romance), there are some morally obtuse members of his tribe, but his family was always on the new-agey side. As thus, however, he is the type to not disagree with someone's moral short-comings, but should he disagree with them he will quietly leave without a fuss, preferring to avoid things he finds tasteless.

Biography
■ History: Match was the first of three children, the second never made it though so the youngest is a fair bit younger than him whom he has an excellent relationship with. When his first sister died he never fully understood the weight of what happened until his second sister was born. He realized that where was someone in their family missing and began to understand why his mother had been so hurt by the death of their first sister.
In his tribe before any monster can become a man he must first pass a test, a solo hunt without the aid or protection of any elders. It is said to be a form of a spiritual understanding of oneself, being alone with only nature to commune with, or in Match's case....it should've been so. After days of an unsuccessful hunt, becoming tired, hungry, thirsty, and lonely he finally found prey. However it wasn't what he wanted.....Match's first opportune prey was a human. The man was a poacher, hunting elk out of season and in the tribe's territory, ignoring both laws and territorial markings left on trees from his people. Killing the man would've been easily justified. A human in their territory hunting what both his own and Match's people wouldn't allow....but Match walked away from him, leaving the easy kill for others of his tribe to deal with instead. Most likely there were other Wendigos around that he didn't see, and he knew full well they'd be less than impressed with him. Instead Match soon found a deer, an animal he could bring back to feed his people and complete his test. He came out of his test knowing who he was as a man, knowing he wasn't the type of Wendigo that thirsted for human blood.
The tribe he's from is somewhat fractured between those that will eat humans and those that won't, though even between such a split few of them want to take the tribe apart over it. Many of the families are intermingled, having half of them for it and the other half against. Match's own family is also so split, his father's side being against and his mother's for. Another of the questionable areas that separates the tribe is with relationships, some support a polyamorous while others are firmly against it. Match has developed a hesitant attitude towards relationships because of this, he enjoys joking around and flirting but is tentative towards anything serious. When he still lived with his tribe he'd been in relationships with girls from polyamorous families that hadn't taught the girls they needed to inform their partner and ask their feelings before taking up a second lover.
Match decided he was ready to get away from his tribe and learn about other monsters. After hearing about Horror High in town he decided to check the school out, finding pamphlets to bring home and show his folks. They decided it would be perfect for him to learn more freely, where his prior experience with schooling was only from other Wendigos, he could learn about other species and a more complete history of monsters.
■ Personal Goals: Bum around, prank others.....he hasn't put too much thought into his future.

■ Key Friends:
■ Key Enemies:
■Sexual Background: Match is inexperienced with romance though has had a few prior relationships. He's been with two girls from his tribe and both cheated on him, making him wary about relationships and women, he prefers men but not opposed to trying more women.
■ Educational History: When he still lived in the tribe they were tutored as a group, none went to public or private schools. Because of that, some of his education is rather dated and any monster-specific history he knows is specifically relating to Wendigo. Matchitehew learned of the school from some of the kids in a nearby town and looked into it. When he told his parents how he would be able to meet other species and learn about them they encouraged him to go out into the world.
■ Work History: Hunting
■ Key Childhood Experiences: His mother having a stillborn child. When he was younger he didn't understand the meaning, but when he grew up he learned what it meant. He doesn't talk about it, but it made him value close relationships and fear losing anyone close to him.
■ Key Teenage Experiences: His 'becoming a man' ceremony. He feels it was fate asking him whether he wanted to be a man that would kill normies even if justified, or if he would choose to feed his family.
■ Key Adult Experiences: N/A
■ Morality / Ethics: Match will often act very flighty, he will flirt and play around left, right, and center, but when it boils down to it he is loyal. When someone he cares about needs him he is there, but generally tries to solve problems with humor....which has varying results. He is against killing normies as either food or to protect their territory, but accepts that not everyone feels the same. He has no problem killing animals if it's for food, but against it if for sport. When it comes to killing anything for sport he is strongly against it and finds it to be one of the few times he will speak up against it.
■ Handedness: Right-handed
■ Skills: Hunting, hiding, tracking, being a stud, some minor crafting.
■ Phobias / Fears: Being alone, he fears either his family breaking apart or losing people he's close to. He tends to avoid real relationships for fear of either being dumped or cheated on.
■ Bad Habits / Vices: Terrible flirt. He loves attention so he'll act in loud and obnoxious ways to get people to notice him.
■ Quirks:
■ Best Qualities: Loyal, playful, fun-loving....Match is fairly relaxed and fun-oriented. When he's with others he wants them to have just as much fun as him, so he likes to play the entertainer for them.
■ Worst Qualities: Bad with serious situations, his playful and fun sides make him awkward with serious problems, he doesn't know how to console someone or handle his own negative emotions other than burying them until they make him snap.
