Maddy taps her lower lip with the torn envelope, rereading the letter with careful consideration. She raises an eyebrow when reaching the signature, and shuffles papers to skim the blank form. Seems simple enough.
A tug on her pant leg breaks her eyes from the stationery and down into the large, round, inquiring eyes of her adoptive son, his mouth pulled into a thin, upsidedown v shape. She smiles down on him, pulling her fingers through his honey hued hair affectionately while sitting herself blindly down at the kitchen table. He pulls himself up onto her lap, causing Maddy to wince once as a bony knee presses into her thigh.
Reaching around Taig, who busies himself with taking apart the envelope in as many pieces as possible while sprinkling the confetti onto his mom's lap, Madeline begins to consider each question with nervous amounts of detail. It's only after predeciding what to write that she even takes her pen to the page..

Name: Madeline Adrian (Call me Maddy!)
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Skull Monkey Mostly human
Any Children?: Yup, one! His name's Taig, he's the sweetest little thing!
About Me: I'm very positive, practical, and honest. I'm the no regrets type of girl! I admit to loving being in a position of power, but don't get me wrong in saying so; I'm no control freak! <3 I loooove company, all sorts, throw them at me, I'm flexible! There's the little part where my past gets complicated, but I hope it won't get in the way, as it seems to with a lot of g people. I thrive in social situations, so you'll find me as one of those people who knows a lot of people and enjoys hearing more about everyone (so long as they have something interesting to say!)
Hobbies: Cooking!! And going along with that, all kinds of cuisine. I'm not afraid to try new tastes! Music's big for me, I love EVERYTHING. Some people say they love everything but don't really mean everything. I def. mean it! I like hands on type of stuff; I'm taking a pottery class, but I'm really not that good yet.
Talents: Cooking!! Wow, how redundant of me, heehee. But I haven't spent countless hours in the kitchen, cooking for dozens of mouths (I come from a big family, it comes with the territory) without picking up some things!!
Looking For: some fun! Really, anyone who takes life too seriously has gotta loosen up. I'm pretty traditional so flowers and little surprises will win me over, but I'm also totally cool with a guy who just wants to go spend a day enjoying each other's company at a social event, or something. Oh, and you've gotta love food, 'cause I'll be making you eat a whole lot of it! Gotta be fun and social, no brooding dark strangers, please!
Other I can grab a babysitter most of the time but be aware that they aren't as reliable as I'd like them to be, so you'll probably meet my son eventually one way or another.

About Me: I'm a full time student of animation, so suffice to say I'm pretty busy. Though, I can't seem to peel myself away from Gaia, and I own and run a B/C shop, so it's not like I'll be hard to track down if I slip up in attendance, ;D. Though RP and writing has slipped on my priority list, I certainly draw a lot more, so if you're with me, and there's some fun scenes going on, I might just pick up my pencil and sketch a little, X3. Oh, and I'm pretty silly. No "all srs biznizz, all the time" with me, thanks~!
Likes/Dislikes (IN RP): Oh, the usual. Bad grammar gets on my nerves, strange abrupt or non related responses will confuse the heck out of me, yadda yadda. I love insight into a character without having to read entire novel length back stories and monologues. [Maddy won't like monologues either, she likes getting a word in, haha.] If you're taken care to match behaviourisms and quirks to a character's persona, hun, you're on my admiration list!
Style: I write in third person present tense, so anyone who isn't automatically confused by that = win. I don't expect you to change yours to match, just be aware that even with a conscious effort to write past tense, I always, by the end of the RP, am back at present tense, x_o. Sorry! Oh and sometimes I can ramble with description, but that's only usually in my own solo RP spiels, so you should be spared from that, hehe.
Availability: Nights and weekends during the school year. Summer months, unless I explicitly say so, should be pretty key for catching me for RP.
What I want for the character: I'm looking for someone who will push Maddy's buttons without pushing her so far as to having a snit fit. Well, actually, that'd be kinda funny and surely knock some reality into her, but I don't know how well that'd work out for the relationship, haha. She's pretty easily smitten, but also strongly opinionated and pretty prudish, so someone who can act as her opposite without being polar opposite would surely be fun to work with. Overall, I'm just looking for character development and an excuse to break Maddy from her "life sure is gum drops and sunshine!" attitude.
Other: I hope you don't mind random music suggestions. Maddy's full of them, hahaha. Other than thaaat.. you should push her buttons, but not mine. Got it? ;D]

Maddy tilts her head after lifting her pen from the page on the last word, pausing before adding the period on. She rests her chin on the top of Taig's head, who, bewildered by the contact, withdraws and looks up at her quizzically.
"Silly," she coos at him, giving his button nose a tap. He scrunches his face and pouts, as if scolding her. She giggles, ignoring his annoyance, and lifts him into the air by holding him under his arms, but, as she does so, the confetti rains down from her lap and all over the chair and tiled floor.
Taig's cross face changes on a dime into sly triumph, and he takes his tiny hands to his mother's hair mockingly.
"Ooouuuuh, you!!" Madeline scorns, huffing as she sets him back down on the floor. He takes off just as soon as he hits the floor, laughing maliciously as his mother is left searching the kitchen for the broom.
