+ MATT MCDOUGAL +


 NAME: Matthew McDougal, just referred to as Matt.

 MAIN ROLE IN BAND: Drums, guitar, song.

 BORN: March 8th in Staten Island, NYC.

 APPEARANCE: Tall, dark brown hair, green eyes and freckles.

 FAMILY: Matt’s mom and dad are still married, and he has two brothers. He is the middle child. He really dislikes his older brother and really loves his younger brother.

 LOVE LIFE: Sammie is his dream girl, and Matt is usually aware of it. When he and Sammie are not dating, he goes out with other girls, but those relationships tend to be short lived.

 FRIENDS: Anthony is his best friend, and he is very close with Sammie and Chris. He’s close with Jeff, Lex, and Anna too. Matt gets along pretty well with Fred and really likes Kate, even though she annoys him sometimes. He does his best not to kill Daniel, who he has at least learned to tolerate most of the time for Anna’s sake.

 PERSONALITY: Matt is very rough and untrusting of strangers but is a goofball around his friends. He can be a bit of a jerk, as Sammie can tell better than anyone, but he’s got a good heart. He’s defensive of the people he cares about, particularly Sammie, but he’s even been known to defend Daniel to others when he isn’t busy trying to throttle him himself.
