“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

Maddie: Alternate Picture


Maddie stands at a short 5'1" and weighs in at a mere one hundred pounds. She is a petite young thing, with only the barest of curve and barely any chest to speak of.

Her fair skin is complimented by short, auburn hair and a dust of freckles across the bridge of her nose and upper cheeks. Her hair rests in such a way to suggest if she grew it out that it would curl.

Her face shows her youth, from the gentle upward angle of her eyes to the soft up-turn of her nose. Her features are soft and feminine, and her cheeks and nose are always just a hint.

Her choice of clothing doesn't help to make her appear older; Maddie enjoys over-sized sweatshirts and jackets that hang passed her hands and thighs and swallow up her figure. Maddie is always wearing her golden anklet that helps her to transform.
“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” ― Desmond Tutu

Maddie is very shy, especially around men or boys, even more so if she finds someone attractive. If she thinks someone is flirting with her, she'll fall all over herself verbally. She is most comfortable when in a small group of people she knows well. Despite her shyness, Maddie tries to make friends and put herself out there as best she can. Being easily embarrassed doesn't help her demureness. She is often blushing, while she rarely stutters, she does talk slow when humiliated and has a tendency to avoid eye contact as she searches for what to say. She hates large crowds.

In spite of all this, Maddie is a curious and adventurous girl. She loves the idea of exploring and can't help but eavesdrop where her friends are involved. One could consider her nosy. In matters of the heart, her family, and her friends, Maddie will face her fears and anxieties to help them best she can. But due to her young age and her bashfulness, Maddie is easily persuaded to leave her comfort zone by the people she spends time with.

Very friendly, Maddie likes to see the best in people. She's not naive in the fundamental sense of the word, but she generally can't find it in herself to tell anyone off and say 'no' to people. In this way, she tends to let people walk all over her. Once told something will hurt someone's feelings, most of her resolve is gone.

When nervous, Maddie will bite her nails or play with her hair.

When Maddie becomes comfortable around someone, she very playful and open. She has a goofy, cheesy, sense of humor and loves to spend time with her close friends.
“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.” ― Elie Wiesel

Laetus Oberon:
"I didn't mean to offend you, but when you have such weak magic as mine, you gotta watch out for all the things that could kill you before you could blink." -- Maddie to Laetus, Artists Curse


Friend.
Laetus was there to help Maddie out when she was new to Starlight Academy. She was crushing on him not long into their friendship; his easy mannerisms and unbeatable confidence have a way of making her both nervous and excited all at once.
Malvoes Boran:
Mal: "So what are we doing at this hour? I can only assume you're taking me to a dark alley or somewhere to murder me."
Maddie: "Well I do have the strength of a walrus." -- Maddie and Malvoes, Rule Breakers


Friend/Big brother.
Maddie met Malvoes when he first arrived to Starlight Academy, she helped him out (not much), and it earned her a friend. At this point they're more like brother and sister than anything.
Pandora A'teed:
"Do you call [Bandit] that because he steals hearts?" -- Pan to Maddie Say Cheese Please


Friend/Roommate.
Maddie is glad to have Pan as her roommate! While Pan doesn't know a whole lot about the modern world, she's confident and friendly; she's just the type of person Maddie needs in her life to keep her grounded.

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.” ― Zelda Fitzgerald

CURRENT: These are the abilities she can use with her current set of knowledge and experience.
SHAPESHIFTING ♦ Is unable to shapeshift using only mental image, due to her lack of experience/knowledge on her magic. Her anklet aids her, without it, she is unable to change shape.
♦ Can turn into any animal that currently exists, so long as she can envision it.
♦ When changing back to her human form, she is still wearing her clothes.


POTENTIAL: These are add-ons to the "current" abilities. These are things Maddie will be able to do as she gains more knowledge and experience in her craft.
SHAPESHIFTING ♦ Can shapeshift without her anklet, though she is still required to envision the animal she wishes to become.
♦ Can turn into any animal that currently exists.
♦ Can speak to people while in animal form. It comes out like a kind of telepathy, that is to say, the animals mouth/snout doesn't move but its voice is heard.
♦ Can transform partially. IE: getting claws, sharp teeth, or enhanced hearing. This form is harder to maintain than simply turning into an animal fully.
♦ When changing back, she is wearing clothes.
DRUID MAGIC/HEALING ♦ Can heal physical wounds.
♦ Cannot heal terminal illnesses or emotional/mental traumas.

“Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.” ― Alfred Hitchcock

Maddie was born to a sorceress and a druid. While her sister, Sariah's, magic took after their mother, Maddie's magic was similar to their father.

When Maddie was eight and Sariah was fourteen; their mother murdered their father, and they had to bear witness to it. Maddie has frequent nightmares about this event, but she doesn't recall why their mother did what she did. Sariah refuses to talk about it.

With no family to speak of, Maddie and Saria were put in the foster system. Not long afterward, the two were lucky enough to be adopted into the same home, though Sariah had been adamant that she would never leave Maddie's side.

Growing up in the Lennox's house, Maddie has always considered them her family, though she still calls them her adoptive parents. Her reasoning for this is more in distaste for her biological mother than them. When Sariah became nineteen she moved out on her own and Maddie opted to live with her instead of her parents, too dependent on her sister to be far from her.

With Sariah not having the same powers as Maddie, she decided to send Maddie to Starlight Academy.

Siblings: Sariah, older sister.
