personality:
Mathey lies about his own background in order to convince others that he is good enough for them. As a result, his personality is often described as “gorgeous”. He tailors himself to fit any relationship; how can he not be? As his restless zeal demonstrates, Mathey conforms to any ideal of himself that transforms reality into possibility. Therefore, he is theatrical and most of his personality is untrue.

The later half is a secret to everyone around him, and so he really can just shift his appearance and completely change his personality to suit it - his life becomes something new and he can escape the one he left behind.

Repeat x10 and it would get very messy.

These days, he's learned it's not as simple as it seemed, and he's wasted a good number of years trying to find who he was in the first place. Now, his shifting remains at the back of his mind. Unless he's really aching to turn his hair red, or something.

…You didn't think he was naturally brunette, did you?

Mathey eventually lets all that brown hair grow out, cuts his hair shorter. He'll probably look back on that brunette stage as a moment of misguided youth and laugh about it, but really, he dyed his hair for a reason.

Mathey has his own willful blindness, typical of the Capitol’s inhabitants, in the form of his enduring ideals of self.

history:
You will not find Mathey in past records, in official listings, in databases or registries. This name and this person never officially existed, has never been recorded. And who he was before he was Mathey Cire has been long since buried.

*****

Mathey has a collection of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, something from every sector, every place he's ever been to. They're his souvenirs; he can tell you where he got every single one of them.

He’s traveled in different parts of the Capitol, in a new place every other week his entire life, the longest Mathey ever stayed in one place was nearly two years. He didn't expect that from himself, it was a surreal experience for him, but one he took in stride; he liked this new concept of calling a place home, of actually wanting to stop and stay and live.

And then his reason to stay vanished. Abruptly, silently, without warning. After that, he didn't know what to do with himself.

He waited for a while, until the desire to stay waned completely. Until the hope of finding another reason to be there was gone.

Then he left too.

*****

Mathey and Jakob are cousins, Jakob being the elder of the two. Like their fathers, who weren't close despite being brothers, Mathey and Jakob never had a good relationship even though they grew up and went to school together.

Mathey left his family many years ago, started using a fake name, kept himself away from attention and ran, in hiding, as he could. But Jakob is still the one person that scares him the most. And Mathey is certain Jakob knows where he is.

*****

Since he was young, Mathey had always been in love with the Capitol’s aura of luxury, grace, and charm. He’s done everything he can to hide himself without ever leaving the capitol. Even dye his hair.

But here’s the kicker. His disguises are for more than just a game of hide-and-seek. Mathey feels the need to prove himself to everyone around him— even if it means lying about himself or his past to make himself more attractive to them. He enjoys it.

Mathey has literally created his own character, even changing his name from xxxxxx? to Mathey Circe to represent his reinvention of himself.
