Matteo Ramirez

Matteo Ramirez is a nervous and quiet teenager with dreams of space travel. When he least expects it, he contracts Magic Poisoning and is pulled into the Four Realms.

Personality
Matteo is an intelligent and reserved young man. Shy and insecure, he is conflicted between the stability of an easy career, or the difficult path to an astronaut. Despite this, Matteo absorbs knowledge like a sponge, and one of the best ways to get him to smile is to get him talking about space and astronomy.

Appearance
Matteo is a boy with tan skin, black hair, and blue eyes. He usually wears a turquoise Shirt underneath a dark blue, zipped hoodie that has a light blue top half with white square markings on the lower edge of that light blue part paired with regular blue jeans. In Chapter 6, he was given a blue pendant, which makes his clothes adapt to whatever form he takes.

Hyleft
Matteo's Hyleft appearance is that of a Sylvan Hyleft with a primarily blue color scheme. The majority of his body is a brilliant blue with darker spots of navy and a lighter blue underbelly. His hair has a nearly black, dark blue color and his eyeballs are a darker yellow with blue pupils. His clothes stays the same as with his human form just with alterations to accommodate the Hyleft tail and back-fins and larger sleeves for his bigger arms.

Tekchyik
Matteo's Tekchyik form has a warmer, pinkish-purple color scheme than his Hyleft form. Like most of the race, the form is quadrupedal, the front two legs emerging from his lower torso. He has a long tail with a scorpion-like stinger at the tip.

In Chapter 8 his outfit changes from his usual hoodie to a a small, dark blue, elbow-length cloak with light blue edges. the top, light blue edge is decorated with the same white diamonds that are on the rest of his outfit. He keeps his turquoise shirt but it now has long sleeves and has more slack for better airflow. He also sports a dark blue belt tied around his waist.

Eibua
Upon using Air magic for the first time, Matteo's hair begins developing light blue flecks. He also gains blue and white feathers. These feathers cover the back of his hands entirely.
