▶ LOGICAL — Matteo is fairly intelligent, with the tendency to go off-board at times if he's not being careful. While he wasn't at genius-level, his studious nature makes it look like it otherwise. He likes anything that can challenge his mind and always thinks on the pragmatic side. He's fairly aware of what he's capable of- and thus when there's something Matteo can do, he will do it. However, Matteo has the tendency to promptly correct people when they say something wrong, thus coming off as being arrogant.
▶ HEEDFUL — He is a fairly quiet individual, but Matteo is a really good listener. When someone asked for someone to listen, Matteo would be happy to do so. He keeps whatever he heard on his head especially if it's necessary, and apparently, he sometimes would set aside his priorities just to hear what they wanted to say. He would also be open enough to consider their views and their concerns, too, giving him an open mind. Also, he has the tendency to eavesdrop unintentionally when he shouldn't.
▶ PROTECTIVE — Not wanting his loved ones suffer the same way as him, Matteo has gotten much protective for them. He shows utter concern if he finds out that someone is going through hardship and could be understandable overbearing. And if someone in his family went through mortal peril that was beyond his reach, Matteo would panic and feel that he should have done something to prevent it- or alternatively, think that he could have tried harder.
▶ SARCASTIC — When need be, Matteo can be really dry and sarcastic to people. A notable trait when being around his family and the people he's comfortable with, Matteo can joke around with this specific sense of humor. This is also his way to be passive-aggressive when feeling petty to the people he's having conflict with. Additionally, when placed to the wrong people, he was likely be frowned upon to people who doesn't take his humor and be labeled as someone who is arrogant.
▶ HEADSTRONG — The series of events thrown to him had made him grow a backbone, and thus Matteo keeps his guard on check. He doesn't back down for anyone and will not allow himself to be fooled around, literally and metaphorically. His goal is to not let his past get the best of the present and while Matteo does struggle due to memories being brought up to his mind in certain occasions, he keeps a straight face to endure it and doesn't allow it to hinder his actions. Of course, this gives a lot of pressure in Matteo's shoulders that it gets really bad for him when he doesn't find time to decompress.
▶ WELL-MANNERED — Contrary to popular belief, Matteo actually values manners in a daily basis. He's polite to the right people and doesn't see the point of abandoning them. He doesn't hesitate in shaking hands, despite that the person he's having a handshake with wasn't someone he liked. If one doesn't count the accent, he is well-spoken in conversations and doesn't bluntly say things that comes to his mind. However, when someone abuses his kindness and his tolerance for a very long time, Matteo is one to snap and drop his manners to show what he really felt.

Matteo Torsten Eriksson was born to a rich upper-middle class family to Professor Arvid and rising Orchestra Conductor Matilda Eriksson. His parents met in a Swedish University when his father was finishing his thesis and eventually watched Matilda playing an instrument, which was basically what started their friendship-turned-relationship and married after a few years. Growing up in Reading with a Music shop in their home, Matteo also grew up having godparents from Norway who visited their home in the holidays. He grew up surrounded by books, music, and science- thus the very concept of magic was very foreign to him; Though, his father never confirmed if magic was real or not. In other words, Matteo's childhood was a happy and normal one.
However, at age seven or eight, he was starting to have his signs of "unexplained shenanigans." Matteo was once threatened by a bully and all the sudden, said bully had his pants caught on fire. Another thief tried to steal his bicycle and the moment Matteo pointed a finger at him, the thief lost his balance and fell down. Afraid due to the fact that all of these things happened when feeling threatened, the boy decided to suppress it and not tell his parents about it. The teachers and classmates were getting the idea that Matteo was a walking jinx- a bad omen to anyone who had done wrong to him and thus, they ended up being afraid to him. The rumor reached to his parents' ears that they tried to talk to him out of it, though their son kept on insisting that nothing happened. That talking ended up his accidental magic triggering again, and so Matteo finally confessed everything to them. His mother was taken back with disbelief, but Matteo's father was fortunately able to take this very well. His aunt Signe, a muggleborn witch, was invited to come over and explain everything, with Matteo's father Arvid on the side for support. This was to comfort and assure Matteo not to feel the need to suppress it in unnecessary degrees, and so he reluctantly accepted the fact that there are also thing that was simply explained by "magic."
▶ SCHOOL LIFE —
After spending the summer reading magical schoolbooks, he was enrolled to Hogwarts just like his aunt and was smoothly sorted to Ravenclaw. There, he met a few friends- one of them was by the name of Kenji- a Hufflepuff guitarist who was above his year. Matteo was known to have lots of knowledge regarding the going-ons and rumors, while at the same time spending lots of time catching up to the Wizarding World and learning about them. His first three years were uneventful until his fourth year; while he received happy news about his baby brother Ivar being born, he fell victim to the coma curse that spread in Hogwarts among muggleborns. One year of his life was wasted because of that and Matteo was very upset about it, because it means that he has to catch up about everything he missed. Then, eventually, he went home to find out that his parents passed away from a car accident- with many people from the University his father worked at and several people who knew about his well-known mother offering him condolences. Matteo was severely struck by the event while his Aunt Signe decided to move in to Reading to look after him and Ivar.
His fifth year was primarily torn between going through stages of grief and studying for his OWLs- so he wasn't exactly given the proper time to grieve as Matteo distracted himself by studying instead of dealing with his problems. The hardships weren't done with him when he and his remaining family went to the Fall Festival, the event when the vampires invaded the whole place. It was all bright lights and loud noises, but Signe died doing her duty to protect him and Ivar. Having survivor's guilt and thinking that he could have helped his aunt, Matteo decided to step in as he no longer wanted to disappoint his family's memory. After all, he also has a younger brother who would someday look up to him. He also struggled to arrange his studying schedules and narrowly passed most of the exams, though he had to accept that he will have to drop some subjects. Since his godparents Marleiv and Kristborg heard the news from him, they decided to step in to adopt the two orphans. Matteo now found himself living with seven siblings, rooming with Austmar Eide. With them on support, he was able to properly grieve for his family during the summer until Matteo will have to return to Hogwarts to finish his sixth and seventh year. The healing wasn't linear, but he did his best. His last two years at Hogwarts were thankfully uneventful and was able to pass his desired NEWTs, and that was also the time he and Kenji decided to be a thing.
▶ POST-GRADUATION —
After spending months in Norway to figure out his life, Matteo decided to take in Ivar for them to return in Reading. Austmar decided to tag along eventually and he helped out wherever he can. Matteo then applied himself to the Auror department; doing his duties of taking care of his brother and studying for his training. He also revived his parents' music shop to stabilize their income, and hiring a reliable (muggleborn) shop assistant to handle it while he was away. At age 21, he finished his training and was called to duty in Hogsmeade in that same year when the dark wizards decided to attack the village. During the firefight, he was going to save a student's life when a dark wizard managed to cast a sectumsempra and severely wounded Matteo's leg. He was going to finish him and the student off until Matteo's wand and hand moved to its own accord and knocked off the wizard. Being gravely wounded, Matteo spent so many months (maybe even almost a year) in St. Mungos. After several physical therapies, he waited for full recovery until he could go back to the Aurr department. Kenji, his boyfriend at the time, grew very concerned about Matteo's choice and went to the point of breaking up. Fortunately, It took some years of not talking to finally rekindle their friendship.

➥ Matteo isn't exactly proud about his experience and performance in the Hogsmeade Attack, even if it is quite understandable given that he was fairly new during that time. ➥ That being said, he isn't proud about his prosthetic leg, either. ➥ His name is also a play-around from his mother's full name 'Matilda Mattson'.
