Personality:
[ + ] Whimsical || Inquisitive || Quietly Perceptive || Confident || Good-natured
[ - ] Capricious || Rash || Unorganized || Self-destructive || DefiantMany may mistake Maddie as a demure and gentle looking girl due to her usual dazed expression and the fact she’s usually quiet, but will soon realize how wrong they are. She can easily be described as strange by some due to her eccentric way of thinking and habits, and an unorganized mess to boot. While her whimsical ways can be playful and amusing, it can also come across as annoyance because of her unpredictable moods; suddenly changing topics, being quiet all of a sudden or walking off without proper reason are just some factors that can be off putting especially to impatient people. This along with her blunt manner of speaking and rash behavior, be it through words or actions, can make it a headache to talk to her but rest assured she is a generally good-natured person, honest and compassionate, even if it means giving ‘tough love’.Maddie is a lover of learning and enjoys discovering new things, be it through books or unconventional exploring. This sometimes leads her to breaking rules in order to satisfy her need to gain answers. She also is not one to senselessly follow orders or rules just because someone is older or has higher authority. Maddie has a good sense of self-worth and can face forward without care of what other’s think of her whilst giving her opinions very decisively. She is also perceptive of the people around her but won’t unnecessarily butt into people’s business if she doesn’t need to.Despite her confidence and acceptance of herself, when she cracks under pressure or hits rock bottom, Maddie can become extremely withdrawn. She doesn’t let anyone in nor does she tell people her problems. It’s a rare occurrence for her to become confused or depressed but when it does happen it’s hard for her to get back up.
Background:
Coming from a family of five, her being the middle child and only daughter, Maddie was born in Oxford, England to two loving parents. Unfortunately, the family on her mother's side had always been set against the marriage of her parents, deeming her father to be nothing more than a leech trying to take advantage of their daughter's future fortune. The tension grew worse as the years went by, and what used to be a couple that loved each other dearly, became two people who wasn't sure if the relationship would be worth all that heartache. In the end, her parents divorced; Maddie, her father and eldest brother eventually moved to America when she was 11 years old, a cold sort of resentment for mother planted inside of her.Life in Boston hadn't been difficult to adjust to- she had excelled in school like before, still got into trouble for her odd antics, and gained both friends (and enemies- some kids got a bloody nose for trying to bully her about her silly accent), it was safe to say being out of a toxic environment was a welcomed experience. At first Maddie had enjoyed school- but soon grew bored of their lessons; eventually she paid less attention to her subjects and more on the things that interested her- no matter how mundane. In the first place the only reason she had to do really well in school before was because of her strict maternal grandparents. Up until adolescences, Maddie had been estranged to her mother and her grandparents- hating the latter for the scrutiny they subjected her parents to and bearing a grudge to the former for letting herself be a walking mat to her family. Since leaving she had rarely talked to her mother; That was, at least until she found out her mother had contracted cancer.As her high school life was drawing to a close, many things were changing much too fast and it scared her. The decision to return to England and attend Oxford University in favor of mending the ties with her mother led to fears of uncertainty in her own relationships, leading to a mutual break up with her high school sweetheart. Her grandparents agreeing to pay for her tuition if she took up Law was yet another decision made- her father was not a rich man after all, so she bitterly agreed. In the end, however, all these decisions meant nothing for right after graduation her mother suddenly passed away. Too ashamed that she never reconciled with her mother- she refused to return to England; there was nothing for her there. Not anymore. At the same time, she didn't want to be at home either- to be constantly comforted that there was nothing she could've done. It'd be too suffocating.So she made a last minute application for the University of Crestwood; far away from any family members and weird enough for the persistent ones to visit maybe ones in a blue moon.
