Though shy, sensitive, and one who hates to fight, Matthew is often
mistaken for his twin brother and has found himself in trouble often
because of it. When not being mistaken for Alfred, all the other nations
seem to forget that he exists - even his pet polar bear Kumajirou - in
return, Matthew can't seem to ever remember the bear's exact name.
Despite Canada's timid and seemingly soft hearted nature, he is
speculated to have a rather fierce personality when pressed. Easily
seen when he was once able to make Alfred cry by arguing with him for
over three hours, pointing out every single one of his faults. Matthew
also has a rather sarcastic side to him that a lot of people can't seem to
detect, as well as having a deep passion for extreme sports. Like his brother,
Canada holds a great amount of strength, he's just never had a need to use it.
