Mathieu is a talented Quidditch player with a big head and the brains to match. He’s had little experience with the darker sides of life, but will doubtless start covering the blank spots in his bucket list soon. He’s a fun guy to be around and is planning on using his new job placement to help get a bit closer to his family.
History
Though his family had already made their big move to southern England by the time that Mathieu was conceived, Genevieve insisted that he be born in France, and thus Mathieu Perrin Vaillancourt was brought into the world. With two older brothers and an older sister, Mathieu had it easy as a kid. There was always someone else he could blame things on, and as the baby, he was automatically believed.
By the time Mathieu was old enough to attend Beauxbatons with his family, he was more excited than he should have been. Though he could easily shrug off delinquencies on his siblings during the summer, he found that his little stunts didn’t work as well under the watchful eye of his parents during the school year. At Beauxbatons he found that he was exceptionally talented at wandwork and with flying. Juliette was the potioneer, Thomas was the wandmaker, and Mathieu was the flier. He made one of the schools quidditch teams by his second year and hasn’t looked back since. Though there seemed to be some issues going on in the wizarding world, Mathieu, like many youngsters, just thought it was part of life and didn’t think anything of it.
His years at Beauxbatons passed in a blur. He was the popular and fun-loving jock, the kind of person that thrives in boarding schools. He made decent marks in school, and when he finally graduated, he accepted an offer from the Quiberon Quafflepunchers, as an alternate Keeper. He crashed on Juliette’s couch for a while, and had almost given up on a real professional quidditch job when, out of the blue, about six months ago, the Tutshill Tornadoes contacted him and offered a full-time position.
Though living primarily in his sister’s flat in Paris, he quickly became estranged from his family. He fell quickly into a slippery life, taking up smoking and drinking heavily. He didn’t fight with his family, and still responded to owls from his mum, but avoided family reunions like the plague. After a couple years of bad behavior, one wants to settle, so the job wasn’t something he could easily pass up.
Still couch-surfing, he hopped on his broom and headed to the UK, following in the footsteps of Juliette and Thomas. Since taking the spot for the Tornadoes, their standings have improved dramatically, securing his continued spot for the team.
