## Official description

*For more, see Mateo's profiles*

*“Guys, we should really think about this first…”*

*Mateo is one of the most artistic kids you’ll ever meet… but too nervous to share his work! His life changes when he discovers an hourglass portal into the dream world.*

## Personality

Mateo is regarded as an artistic introvert who exhibits traits of protectiveness, softness, and curiosity. Despite his outward appearance of nervousness, quietness, and weakness, he harbors a secret bravery.

## Appearance

### Waking World

Mateo has brown hair with a blonde streak, styled in dreadlocks. He has vitiligo, resulting in a distinct spot around his right eye that is lighter than the rest of his skin. He wears a blue sweatshirt, black pants with a green belt, and red shoes. For sleepwear, Mateo wears a blue t-shirt with a superhero on the front and red boxers with white spots.

### Dream World

Mateo retains most of his Waking World appearance, except for the spot and his right eye becoming green, as well as two streaks of green at the front of his dreadlocks. He also wears a green cape, a different belt, and a green bandolier with a gold buckle and an image of an hourglass on it.

## Relationships

### Izzie

Izzie is Mateo's sister, with whom he shares a bedroom. Mateo is annoyed when Izzie added K-Pop music on his phone to wake him up. He also tried to get her to read books he considered she is missing out on.

### Cooper

Cooper used to be Mateo's best friend, until the former started hanging out around Logan. It wasn't until Mateo and Izzie rescued Cooper from the Night Hunter and became Dream Chasers that they reform their friendship.

### Logan

Logan has a rivalry with Mateo, who he always teases with the name "Matty". They often argue or fight, but in the end they try their best to become true allies to help with the protection of the Dream World.

### Zoey

Zoey is Mateo's fellow classmate and he presumably has an interest in her as he sometimes smiles upon seeing her, but is too afraid or nervous to admit it. He was also the only one she confided in for her love of music. He once tried to ask her out for the Fall Festival, via note, but made a mess of her Landing, leaving her annoyed, but she eventually forgave him at some point.

### Z-Blob

Z-Blob is Mateo's creation in his comics before being truly created in the Dream World, even to the point he became real in the Waking World. They had been through a lot of adventures in the Dream World, until he and the Dream Chasers made him the new Guardian of the Grim Realm, which he emotionally hugged him goodbye.

### Mr. Oz

Mr. Oz is Mateo's science teacher and also part of the Dream Chasers being a mentor to them all.

## Trivia

* He seems to have the skin condition known as Vitiligo.
	+ When asked about it, Tommy Andreasen replied: "We all have little things that make(s) us unique."
* In Awakening, Izzie sets an alarm reading "WAKE UP HERMANITO" on his phone, suggesting that he's younger than her, as hermanito means little brother in Spanish. However, she actually appears to be two years younger than him.
	+ This was also clarified in "The Dream Forge", in which Izzie said that Zoey and her class, which Mateo is a part of, to be two grades above hers.
	+ As well, Izzie calls Mateo "big brother" in "Private Eye".
