Father abandoned the family when he learned of Mathew´s mother´s pregnancy. His mother married her wife when he was 6. He garnered his love of art from his mother´s love photography and nature. She was a freelance photographer and her wife was a caterer. They adopted a daughter two years younger than Mathew when he was 8. They encouraged him to pursue art and by the time he was 15 he had received awards across the country and was subsequently invited to Heaven's Gate Academy.

Berlin: Close Friends. Berlin enjoys to taunt and prod at him but does truly want him to know she cares about him.

Mellie: Close Friends, often receives advice and support from her. Her death is a shocking thing to him and causes him to question everything around him.

Zach: Not extremely close. Mathew and Zach do not talk as frequently as Mathew does with the girls but they do have a good bond as Zach confided in him about his failed relationship with Berlin and the other things troubling him. This is the driving force that maintains they're friendship, Zach being more of a loner does not strive to strengthen it anymore.
