One eye is dark brown. The other is deep blue.<br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: People sometimes misjudge her slight frame, but she's stronger than she looks.<br/><strong>Sexuality</strong>: She identifies as straight, but perhaps that's only because no female has ever made her an offer.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: People often mistake her for shy, but in large groups she merely watches and listens. Given the opportunity and a small group, she becomes very outgoing. She alternates between being the aloof artistic type, and the spotlight seeker.  She has many acquaintances, but few close friends, most of which are her friends from back east with whom she still tries to keep in touch. Tends to dislike it when someone gets something they haven't earned, but won't show it unless they directly piss her off.<br/><br/><strong>History</strong>: Madelyn's mother was 46 when she found out she was pregnant. It was unexpected, for sure, but her parents and brothers were thrilled at the prospect of one more family member. unfortunately, later life pregnancies often go wrong, and her mother died due to complications. People often give Madelyn a look of pity when they find out about it, but she tends to shrug them off. She sometimes wonders what it would have been like to know her mother, but she never really felt that she missed much with such a loving and supportive Father and two protective older brothers, current ages 25 and 27. Growing up in a household of men made the initially frail girl stronger both physically and emotionally than she might otherwise seem.<br/><br/>Her father was a non-descript cubicle dweller by day to pay the bills, but in his off time, he was a talented artist. At the start of her senior year, her father was offered a respite from his dull day job as he finally reached retirement. Now free from corporate America, he took a freelance position at a design firm in Texas. Despite not wanting to leave her friends in Pensylvania, Madelyn was on board to move across the country if that would make his dreams come true.<br/><br/>When she arrived at her new school, she auditioned for the theatre club to pick up where she left off. Much to her dismay, the way to earn the best stage parts in this area was not by having talent and presence, but by having parents that gave boatloads of money to the the school. Thus she was heartbroken to see talentless rich kids cast in lead roles, and iconic scenes cut completely due to their lack of any real ability. (Who cuts Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliliquiy because the actor can't memorize it?) Regardless, her love for the artform drove her to bring her expertise to behind the scenes. These days, you'll find her covered in paint from designing sets, or perched atop a ladder tweaking wires for sound systems and lights. Some of the cast and crew have taken to calling her "Maddy MacGuyver" because she can fix damn near anything, but she doesn't really understand the reference.<br/><br/><strong>Skills/Hobbies</strong>: Artistic and skilled in set design and basic carpentry. Has an uncanny ability to fix or create things by instinct alone, hence her MacGuyver nickname.<br/><br/><strong>How he/she met Michael</strong>: Bumped into him as she rushed into the theater one day to repair a fallen light. She apologized before dashing off to her duties. He may not have even had time to give her a response.<br/><br/><strong>Additional Notes</strong>: Climbing around on ladders and sneaking about backstage during productions has taught her to be quite dextrous and stealthy.
