Matthew Billings

Matthew Billings is a recurring character in Kate-Alia. He has a gigantic crush on Kate, but Kate is unsure about the relationship.

Concept and Creation
Katrina Sunday wanted a character that could be Kate's boyfriend. However, she ended up with the idea that Kate is unsure if she could have a "Mickey-and-Minnie" relationship with Matthew, and that he has major crush on her.

Matthew is most likely based on Amy Rose from the Sonic series, like Kara, but he was similar to Canada from the anime Hetalia until he met Kate. His surname was originally going to be Miller, like Brittany Miller of the Chipettes, then Williams, but Katrina Sunday ended up with "Billings".

His original design was with blonde hair, a pink hoodie, hot pink pants and brown shoes with white soles. Katrina Sunday, then, thought it was too much like Brittany from the Alvin and the Chipmunks series, and his blonde hair with a curl was too much like Canada from Hetalia, which has his former personality. Instead, it was decided that he has magenta hair, a white collared shirt, red pants, and magenta shoes with white soles. His cowlick is a reference to America from Hetalia. It's like Matthew is the male counterpart of Kate.

Appearance
Matthew is a teenage boy who has fair skin, magenta hair with a cowlick and green eyes. His attire consists of a white collar, red pants and magenta shoes with white soles.

Personality
Before meeting Kate, Matthew was shy, timid, introverted, sensitive, and rather quiet. When he met Kate in grade 9, he became more extroverted and energetic. He now describes himself as a guy who is cheerful and full of energy. Though he is slightly erratic, nothing will ever stop him. He has a huge crush on Kate, which makes him obsessive, but Kate is unsure if she could start dating him or not. She, however, views him as a friend.

Matthew does not like Kara's obsession about him or his doppelgangers. He says she should find an ideal boyfriend.

Super Strength
Matthew is super strong, like Kathe. He is a rival with her when it comes to super strength

Super Speed
Matthew is just as fast as Kate. This is probably because he is the male counterpart of Kate. When he sees Kate running, he runs up to her.

Kate
Matthew has a major crush on Kate, but she has not yet returned her feelings for him. The have been good friends since grade 9, but Matthew developed a crush on Kate on the first day of high school. Given the chance, he will stalk her until she returns her feelings.
