[ History ] :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Canadahttp://hetalia.wikia.com/wiki/Canada [ Personality ] :
Matthew is known more as the embodiment of the county of Canada and fits into the stereotype of the "average" Canadian. His main trait though is his "invisibility". He seems to just disappear and fade into the background while with other people. Others rarely notice his presence, and when he is noticed, he is usually confused for America. His most spoken sentence is probably, "I'm Canada." Even his pet can't recognize him or remember his name, because yes his pet can speak. Since he's doesn't get recognized often, he is pretty shy and soft spoken. His voice is almost a whisper and can barely be heard, helping him just fade into the background.
Canada is extremely kind and has the ability to make friends with those that most people tend to ignore or be afraid of, like Cuba and Russia, without feeling that threatened. While yes, Russia scares him and Cuba has a tendency to beat on him thinking he's America, they are still friends and he'll forgive them for what they do to him. Being able to tolerate being forgotten and abused for who he isn't makes him a very patient person. Not being recognized even by those he considers his friends gets him a bit down, but he remains optimistic. It also leaves him feeling a bit lonely, but overall Matt is content with how things are. He is usually a very peaceful person (sans the occasional hockey game or blowing up at America for pushing him too far, but I'll go into that a bit later). Considering Canada has a ton of wilderness and wildlife, he appreciates nature and respects life. Even though he has been involved in countless wars and battles, he is still a pacifist and would rather not fight or jump into things too quickly.
He is a very gentle and caring person, he keeps his pet polar bear by his side. But along with that he is loyal and stands up for what he believes in or what he thinks to be true. Even when others don't recognize him or see right past him, he'll continue showing up and being friendly. It's his duty as Canada to go to the meetings and even if his voice isn't heard or his face isn't seen, he still goes. Matt sticks to his ideals. When America was rebelling with England and wanted Canada to join him, he refused and instead stayed with England (but did gain his independence afterward in a much more peaceful way).
America is one of the only people who can really get a harsh reaction out of him. Matt is one of those people who lets things slide again and again, but in reality he's building up everything until it finally bursts, usually at Alfred. He once spent hours berating him, reducing Al to tears. That's pretty much his outlet, but it shows how much he trusts Al, letting him be the only one who really sees that side of him. That's not to say that he has no other outlet, that's what hockey is for, one of his greatest skills and rivals all other countries. He can be even more feared than Russia while on the rink.
On a much lighter note, Canada (as a country) is pretty open minded, okay with gay marriage and marijuana use.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Matt's strengths and weaknesses tend to mesh together, depending on the situation they can go either way. He has a tendency to go unnoticed, if he wanted to he could sneak around or just not show up to an event and no one would notice. But he wouldn't do that, he knows that he has responsibilities and he's good at getting them done. For being invisible most of the time, Matt doesn't like to be alone and it gets lonely when you're up there in the great white north being overshadowed by your "hero" neighbor to the south. He's intelligent even if doesn't always speak his mind, and he's pretty strong even if he doesn't always use his strength, but he's not nearly as strong as Al.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Well! Hockey is an awesome sport, eh? Also, maple syrup goes with everything. Really.
