Matthew Williams (Canada) ♫

[forthecamera.livejournal.com]

Matthew Williams, the country of Canada, typically referred to as "Matty" by Rise. Matt and Rise were two of the very first people to arrive in Death City. They came in with the first batch of recruits, and of those from then only a very few (4) remain, including them.

When Rise first met Matt she thought he was a little loopy due to the whole being a country thing. Regardless, whether he was crazy or pretending to be one for whatever reason she didn't care much about that. They were on the same boat after all, and he displayed a calmness and sweetness that drew her to him. They became quick friends and he was the subject of much of her teasing.

It didn't take long for Rise to realize that in many ways she and Matt were two sides of the same coin. Matt was very shy, quiet, didn't have very much confidence in himself and seemed to have trouble putting himself out in the social sphere. He reminded Rise so much of what she use to be like before she became an idol so she was determined to do all she could to help him out of his shell.

She has help him do this, but likewise, Matt has done so much in helping Rise grow out of her self-loathing, and that habit she has of mirroring what others want or need her to be. He is the first person she's been completely free and herself around, and this includes other members of the Investigation Team. The two share a depth of understanding and commitment to each other that they've never found in any others, so it was no surprise when they eventually became partners.

They've gone through quite a bit together, some missions, some adventures, some tragedies, and it has all brought them closer. Eventually, Rise realized that she had more than just feelings of partnership and friendship with Matthew, but that she was in love with him.
