Of charming and elegant appearance, Mathis is refined, eager to please and to be liked in return. Sentimentality, beauty and harmony are the values he seeks, somewhat confusedly; such is the extent of his need for equilibrium. Nevertheless, he is quite secretive, reserved and not particularly demonstrative in his interpersonal relations. He is extremely sensitive although he manages to partially conceal this aspect of his personality with an apparent frostiness or a small ironic smile in the corner of his mouth... He is an active and determined man who is equipped with tremendous practical intelligence, great organizational skills and an analytical mind, although he is inclined to be fastidious. Often a perfectionist (sometimes to the point of obsession), he can't stand mediocrity or depravity. In fact, he can often be anxious, prone to soul searching and can easily be attracted to spiritualism and the paranormal, whilst remaining a convinced skeptic, and these two trends could occur successively over time (karmic 7). He seeks knowledge and aims to obtain a certain wisdom, although he is equally tempted by Epicureanism and comfort. He tends to oscillate between the two tendencies, but in any case, hesitation is one of his main characteristics. As a child he is a kind, helpful, responsible and endearing young man who is rather focused on himself. Mathis dreams of occupying first place in his parents' hearts as well as at school where he wants to be the best, and he won't hesitate to assert himself to prove his worth.
