Matthew's appearance reflected his partial mixed far-eastern heritage, inherited from his maternal family. He took after his father very little, only in build. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes normally, though his eyes would turn yellow whenever he used snake mimicry. He was rather short, but made up for this by working out and being muscular and strong. Both of his ears were pierced, and he normally wore dark jeans, tight fitted T shirts and his favourite biker leather jacket.
