    Name;;Madeleine Taylor

    Age;;Child (looks: 9-10 years old)

    Gender;;Female

    Species;;Cabbage Computer//White Pieridine Butterfly//Humanoid

    Interesting Things;;Wings and antennae. Seriously.

    Colouring;;Soft pastel pink, nearly white

    Personality;;Maddy is a bit of a people-pleaser - she tries her hardest to be what the people she likes wants her to be, and so her mood and personality often reflects that of those around her (or what she thinks they'd want her to be) to varying degrees.
    She is fundamentally very shy, though, but once you've broken her out of her shell it's unlikely that she'll go back in. She's much more comfortable around people who she's met before, which often makes second encounters more interesting than first ones.
    -not done-

    Likes;;TURTLES, sugar, having adventures, not having to take the lead, her friends, school

    Dislikes;;Math, bullies, talking to people older than herself, people touching her wings without permission, getting her antennae caught in the hairbrush

    Attire;;Can usually be found in jeans and a print t-shirt; tends to wear something in the image of a turtle somewhere on her person. (Necklace, earrings, print, anything)

    Favorite People;;Her mom, Kaimi, Squishy, Nefl

    Least Favorite Person;;

    Favorite Colour;;Pastel pale creams and likewise green


    Special Abilities;;Communicating with butterflies, willing them to do her will//LARGELY UNEXPLORED/UNKNOWN

Butterfly or moth: what's the difference?


Technically speaking, butterflies are types of moths. But there are some ways to tell them apart. Butterflies generally have long, smooth antennae that are rounded on the ends, while most moths have thick, feathery antennae. Moths also tend to have larger, fuzzier bodies than butterflies. Most moths fly at night, while most butterflies fly during the day. Because of when they're active, butterflies tend to be more colorful than moths, but that's not always the case. You can see another difference when they're resting: most moths flatten their wings out over their bodies, while most butterflies raise them up and against each other. And although both butterflies and moths develop in a chrysalis, most moths also spin a protective cocoon. When people talk about this family of insects in general, they may use "butterflies" or "moths" to describe them, and both are considered correct.

The amazing metamorphosis


One of the most incredible things about butterflies is the way they change from crawling caterpillars into winged beauties. This process is called metamorphosis, and it has fascinated and perplexed people for centuries. In fact, scientists still aren't sure exactly how it works! What we do know is that when a caterpillar seals itself into a chrysalis, chemicals are released from its body that change and rearrange all the cells to create the butterfly's new shape, including its wings. So how does the caterpillar know when it's time to change? Its brain produces a chemical called "juvenile hormone." As long as the level of this hormone in its body is high, it keeps eating, growing, and shedding. But when the hormone level drops, then the caterpillar "knows" that it's time to move on to the next stage.

On the wing

Do you know what butterfly wings are made of? They're actually pretty complex. The main structure of the wing is made of thin layers of chitin, a protein that also makes up the outer "shell" of the body. These layers are so thin you can see through them. They are covered with thousands of tiny modified hairs called scales, which create the colors and patterns we see. These scales are the "dust" that comes off a butterfly wing if you touch it. The wings also contain a system of veins that circulate blood, and strong muscles on the butterfly's body move the wings up and down. The wings actually move in a figure "8" motion that pushes the butterfly through the air.

Don’t touch!

Moth and butterfly wings are very delicate, and can easily rip or tear from the slightest touch. Please look at these amazing creatures with just your eyes, not your fingers!

Kaimi;;Adores;;The best Champion ever! Maddy had a great time with her, and thinks of her as her first real friend. She is ultra-special in Maddy's mind, and the butterfly girl would probably follow her to the ends of the earth if she asked.
Butterflies // Kitchen Wizards //

Ophelia;;Friendly;;A bit intimidating at first, but turned out to be really nice. Squishy saved her from feeling completely left out at the beach, and Maddy feels that she owes her a great deal because of this.
Volleyball //Kitchen Wizards

Melchizedek;;Neutral/Dislike;;Maddy met him at the beach along with the others, and he didn't leave much of an impression.

This is Maddy's turtle, Turtle. It was acquired under much sweat and many tears, from a regular pet-store in the city. It is Maddy's most prized
possesion and oldest friend.
The only special thing about it is a remarkable patience for being taken up and occasionally carefully being dressed up by it's owner.
(PS: No, it does not live in a bottle. Olivia was being an idiot on the day of this
photo.)

This is Pirate, the hermit crab that Austin gave Maddy during the Secret Santa project in 2008. He lives together with Turtle in their aquarium.
