Name: Madison Daphne Heller
Nicknames: Maddy, Madz
Age: 19
Birthday: January 1st
Sign: Capricorn
Blood Type: A
Fav. Food: Beef au Jus; french fries; 5 cent candy
Hated Food: Anything she smells on a daily basis at Bob's.
School: Meadowview, Crystal Academy, or Hillworth -- if you want a fourth option, explain. <3 (Generally n/a for cats.)
Hobbies:
SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS -- Well, not just any sports. Madison hates track with a passion, and whistles at the boys (and girls) in their ridiculous shorts. Madison is, strangely enough, a team player-- prone to screaming at the top of her lungs, chanting ridiculous songs (how loose IS your goose?) and shoulder hugging anyone in her path. She is a poor loser, has been red carded in soccer for "excessive force" and has created more muddy divets in the fields with angry kicking than she cares to to remember. She's not a captain, nor the heart of the team. More of an angry, loud clavicle that is going to <******** you up. But mostly legally!
Drawing Mustaches in Textbooks -- Madison used to play hooky excessively. School just seemed to be a waste of her time, though "hanging around Wendy's" wasn't exactly a stellar decision either. It wasn't until she made some of the varsity teams, where she was expected to keep grades in letters other than "F" that she grimly sat in her usually vacant seat. She's there, but she's too cool to participate, at least in her mind. Madison is sure that she's stupid, that's why she isn't getting the grades she needs-- her mother stresses "doing her best", but it's easy to assume that this IS Madison's best. It isn't, she's just disinterested.
I Work Hard for my Money -- Maddy works Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at Bob's Bowl-O-Rama, Laundromat and Chinese Food!, a run-down establishment near her home that supposedly promotes "good clean fun" circa the fifties, but not much of that holds at this joint. Cleaning is a joke, the pins are weighted promoting much cheating, and the nacho cheese is supposed to be changed on a weekly basis. Let's just say it isn't. It's a thankless, unforgiving job, and Madison gets more tips by wearing tight shirts and doubling her bra-- the catcalls and butt-slaps are just an occupational hazard.
Gemstone: Garnet
Virtues:
Someone's Got To Do It -- Maddy will gladly stick her hand down the sink to grab a fork, will change diapers, will do any unforgiving task you ask of her. She'll whine about it. Excessively. If you're a kid, she might berate you for having stupid hair while spending an hour gently teasing out the gum that your foster sib stuck in it. There is no task too big for Maddy if she's asked to do it, and even though she whines, she'd be utterly offended if you did it for her.
I'd Give You the Shirt Off my Back (But you're Going to Pay for the Show) -- Though gruff and sort of flippant, Madison has given away enough umbrellas to fill a store, brings extra sandwiches in her lunch for the boys, and her tip jar is full of more IOUs than real money. She has little concern for her material items, mostly because she doesn't really have that many; she's more attached to the people that she knows, so if you want something, she'd be willing to give it to you.
Openhearted Surgery-- Madison has a real hard time leaving things be. Their "pets" are rescued strays that follow Madison home, her foster sibs climb all over her like she's Mount Heller, and she will pledge money to scouts, awarenesses or personal stories of loss, furtively looking around to see if she's been caught in the act of giving. She's been in love with each of the boys in her crew more than once, has given them her all more than once-- she's the friend with benefits that never asks for anything more because she doesn't really believe in anything more. The love-sick, sticky sweet, Twilight-esque romances make her squirm; she makes retching sounds as she passes couples holding hands. Making out. Whatever.
Did You Make it Home Alright? -- Madison is quietly protective of those she cares about. She waits outside in the Rapemobile until you enter your home, sends text demands to you to join her on some adventure when your girlfriend breaks up with you, has protected Hobbits while arrows thud in to her back. She's strong, and she wants to be strong for others-- but she doesn't want anyone to call attention to it. She's not doing it for any other reason than she just wants to and she feels responsible for those around her.
Flaws:
"Doesn't Play Nicely with Others" -- A childhood filled with bows, fake tans, cake makeup and a desire to be the most bitchin' prostitot sculpted Madison in to a bit of a monster. She threw shoes at the kids in preschool, was precocious in a terrifyingly potty-mouthed way, and was sure that she deserved the highest award every time. Even though fake tans quickly changed to sunburns, and princess crowns to MVP awards, Madison still feels that the world is against her. Doing poorly in school? It's the MAN. Losing a game? She wasn't wearing her lucky socks! Madison absolutely despises taking the blame for anything, even if she was caught red handed. She's still argumentative, has a short temper, thinks that everyone else must be wrong if her opinion differs.
Back Me Up!!! -- If Madison jumped off a bridge, she fully expects everyone to jump off it with her. She runs in to situations without thinking and assumes everyone else has as well-- and then bitches at you for "pussying out". When she has a problem of any nature, she would never ask for help but does expect it. And when you've set up the situation where you'll do all the hard things for everyone, no one would even think you'd need any help.
Insecurity's a b***h -- Madison hates track because the onus is on one person: her. The last time she participated in an event that only involved your onesome she was 8 years old and a finalist in a Southern Belle themed Little Miss competition. It ended badly. Since that day, Madison would much rather be a part of a team working together in victory and defeat, than having the spotlight solely on her. She still shines in team sports, as any goal she makes or any assist, is the team's goal and the team's assist. Her "relationships" with her posse leave her empty handed at the end of the day, and she's sort of okay with that. She thinks she's just going to blow it anyway, so she sticks to what she knows, enjoys and can do.
Come and Get Me -- Madison is brash and will get all up in your business without a second thought. There is no part two to her three part plan, she goes from 0-60 in a flash; she doesn't care one whit about logic, and is really hard to talk out of a stupid idea. She's stubborn to a fault and independent. She hates making the first move if it means something, which would mean she would have a chance to lose, or fail, or look stupid. She'd much rather people come to her-- but she would make it abundantly clear what it was that she wanted as long as she didn't have to say it out loud.
