WORK IN PROGESS - PROFILE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Third kid of his mom’s and the last she had with his dad before he ditched them. She had a few boyfriends, resulting in three more of his siblings. He grew up with his mom, abuela, and siblings in a cramped house. Matteo wasn’t very good in school (especially math/science; probably has dyscalculia?) and suffered from classic middle child syndrome. Very short because of malnutrition; things definitely got better for his family when his older siblings started working and his mom got help from her church. That didn’t stop Matteo from acting out. He got sent to juvie at 15 for stealing from a convenience store multiple times. Joined the gang when he was 17.

History
Notes
Design Notes
- Matteo is fairly muscular to compensate for how small he is, but he has a bit of a beer gut. Athletic muscular, not body builder muscular. He often wears lifts to make him a bit taller than he actually is. He has a round baby-face he hides behind his beard. He is generally very hairy.
- He has deep tan skin, warm brown eyes, and dark brown hair.
- His hair is longer in the front than the back and rather wavy. The back is shorter and neater. He does slick it back a bit for formal occasions.
- He wears a lot of maroon, purple, red, and black. For work he often button ups, blazers, slacks, and boots. On his off time he wears a lot more street clothes; t-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, sweatpants, ect.
- He has a long scar right under the left side of his chest to his hip from a knife. They were going for his heart but missed, ikes.
- I don't have an exact ref for his rose tattoo yet, so if for some reason you draw it don't worry too much. It's located on his lower left thigh. They a deep red roses and cool blue-green leaves. He got them to symbolize his mother, Rosa.
