Childhood
Matthew, Erica and Albert went to the same elementary school. Matthew was bullied by Albert, instilling Matthew with a desire to get stronger so he won't get bullied again.

Gaming with Friends
Matthew is probably annoyed at all these random people all of the sudden, but he's especially angry about Albert transfering in.

Persona
His Persona is of the Chariot Arcana (symbol of victory, conquest, self-assertion, control, war and command), stemming from his desire for strength as a means to protect himself. His shadow stems from the fear that he isn't strong at all, and might never become strong.

Sgrub
Within Sgrub, Erica auspistices between Matthew and Albert. Left unchecked, Matthew attempts to murder Albert. He has a flushcrush on Erica.

After Sgrub, things are awkward, but he and Erica eventually talk things out.

Personality and Traits
Seemingly cranky all the time, Matthew Zhou tries to push people away with a cold exterior. Life hardening him into a pessimist, he often uses dark humor to frighten those around him. Matthew seems to enjoy picking on Erica the most, to the point where the pair get into lengthy fights, or as Chiyo calls them, lover spats. Deep down, he's a decent guy. Just, really, really deep down.

Relationships
Albert Jiang: eventually matthew just blows up at him and is all WHY DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME and beats him up  and they just spend like an afternoon beating each other up having a dramatic I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT until matthew is all like YOU RUINED MY LIFE YOU RUINED ERICAS LIFE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE JUST LEAVE AND ..I HONESTLY HAVEN'T WORKED OUT HOW THEY'D LIKE GET .... TO A FRIENDSHIP LEVEL AGAIN?
