Mat stays pretty true to himself. He started out that way for the most part. Personality wise. He even says he tried gambling the time when he was little.
I like how she can accomplish anything through sheer force of will. That woman could make anything happen and she is so brave. Mat drives her crazy too ;)
Seriously, is there ANYONE, ... anywhere... that doesnt like mat???? Even Elayne warmed up to him eventually. Even if he isnt your favorite, he is such a great character.
Mat and verin. Mat is awesome and my favorite character in any book and verin is who I wish I could be if I was a character... You know, before she dies.
