Madison is the daughter of Old World citizens who inhabited the Sharlayan research colony in Dravania. She and her family fled to Ishgard during the 5 year long Sharlayan negotiations with the Garleans. Her parents, being academically and aetherically gifted, were able to make a decent living for themselves in the notoriously socially unaccepting landscape of Ishgard. She'd grow up in The Foundation but despite their middle class status, Madison would always find difficulties stemming from being born Hyuran. A recent arrival to the lower city states, Madison joined the Pathfinders Free Company as her first real employment. She worked as a musician and performer in Neverfar's tavern until the needs of the company resulted in her taking on more duties. For nearly two years, due to a strange twists of fate, Madison found herself at the helm of the Mercenary Company and Aetherical Research Center. She spent her days tirelessly doing her utmost to ensure things ran smoothly, both succeeding and failing in this goal. However, a dark cloud descended upon the company itself, causing her to finally make the choice to close it for good. The Free Company abode, housed in the mysterious study of a former unknown Magi, ended up becoming the personal residence of the remaining Pathfinders who banded together - unwilling to abandon their home or each other in the face of the evil making itself slowly known. She now works for another Free Company and is adjusting to life outside of being the head of command for once. Old habits die hard, however, and Madison is oft reminded by her close friends that she should enjoy her time and not worry about so many responsibilities.

 +
'''Demeanor:''' Madison was raised in Ishgard, brought up to be a Lady as her family worked tirelessly to fit into their surroundings to avoid any suspicion or detection from the Holy See. Her manner of speaking and way she carries herself is refined, yet has been beginning to relax with all the time she has spent in Ul'dah and Limsa.
 +
 
 +
'''Nature:''' Madison can be regarded as a refined Lady only as far as her patience happens to extend. With a drop in the cadence of her voice or a twitch of her eye she can seemingly shift gears in a moment, becoming quite commanding or demanding depending on what she feels the situation calls for. She always has her intents set firmly in the greater good, even if it may come off naive to those around her.
 +
 
 +
'''Religion:''' Madison is firmly pious, believing wholeheartedly in the goodness of the Twelve and the blessings they provide. In her mind, she owes them almost everything, right down to the magicks she wields and the aether she borrows from the heavens due to the nature of her Art. It's these thoughts in her mind as she casts, every spell beseeching them for their unique strengths to see her to her goals.

 +
'''Common Appearance:''' Madison seems to fluctuate in her styles, some days choosing to be seen in pants and boots and others in sandals and skirts. It doesn't take long to realize that her wardrobe is extensive. She wears light makeup, opting for a shade of pink on her lips and a nude eyeshadow. Her hair is often worn down but she will occasionally be seen with it tied back. Her hair is always long.
 +
 
 +
'''Scars & Markings:''' Madison seems to lack any overly noticeable outward scars and she seems intent on keeping it that way. Her upbringing was very peaceful, the woman never seeing much combat until her days with the Pathfinders. Any wounds inflicted she will aetherically heal herself or have Himeko use her Astrology to heal as to ensure the lack or at least very dim scarring.
 +
 
 +
'''Voice:''' Madison speaks with an Ishgardian accent, furthering the impression of her proper upbringing. Her accent has been known to thicken when she becomes emotional or angered. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcm39GTvs6M Voiceclaim here.]
 +
 
 +
'''Clothing:''' All of the clothing. Madison can seem to be a bit spoiled in this department. She is fastidious in her appearance, sometimes causing her to be a hindrance on outdoor excursions.

Madison's first and foremost strength is her aetheric prowess. She's never brought it up in conversation, but the more aetherically sensitive may be able to tell that she boasts of pool of immense proportions. She is a learned Sharlayan Astrologian, having been tutored in the art from a young age. The spells she casts are practiced and proficient, seeming to be able to reverse the infliction of wounds in the way only an Astrologian can. She never much cared for the more offensive side of her art, yet since joining and leading the Pathfinders she'd had no choice but to bring these spells into play many times. Currently, Madison possess a fine control over this art and can wield it in many ways. To heal, to restrain and to kill if need be. Exceedingly rarely and in dire circumstances, she's shown to possess the ability to change the course of a battle, altering her comrades courses towards a path of victory. This is very rarely seen and not discussed outside her most personal of circles.
 +
 
 +
While she possesses the aetheric capability to branch into other magics, for years she only focused on becoming the best Astrologian she could. Previously, she was unskilled in other magics, only able to lend assistance to other members Thaumiturgical casting by virtue of her large aetheric reserves.
 +
 
 +
Madison has long been told that due to her affinity for aether she'd make a great thaumaturge. She never quite found herself properly motivated to throw herself into learning the art until she met a very specific individual to tutor her. Since then, her skill in thaumaturgy has began to grow slowly but steadily. She is by no means a thaumaturgic caster of frightening proportions but she's surpassed what one would call a novice. This endeavor is currently her primary study and goal.
 +
 
 +
Madison would consider her words her secondary strength. If you asked her where she developed this or honed it she would not be able to readily elaborate as it seems to be a natural tendency and ability she possesses. She has, for a long time, had a dislike for combat and has shown to always try to opt for a non-violent resolution to conflict. To her credit, she's been able to mark several successes down in her favor where this is concerned. On several occasions, she has negotiated an end to hostilities between two factions and found a more peaceful and preferable resolution. She has every intent to continue this course and bring these abilities to use in her new Company - even if she must start the process herself.

 +
 
 +
Madison's aetherical skill is met with an equally strong physical weakness. Years of tutelage and practice honing her magic has left her rather meekly framed. She was never taught or trained any forms of physical self defense and finds herself at a terrible disadvantage should an opponent manage to move in on her in close quarters. She is stubborn as well, oft times refusing offers to train her in an art of physical self defense. Deep down, she truly, perhaps foolhardily, believes her Astrology to be the mastery of all techniques.
 +
 
 +
Madison's intense urgings to do the right thing have often resulted in her displaying reckless and foolhardy behaviors where her own well being is concerned. Indeed, sometimes it would seem she has little regard for it whatsoever as she flings herself off into a situation which will obviously bear consequences she might not have thought of yet. She always means well, even if she's doing something questionable. Additionally, her certainty of the virtue of her choices can lead her to argue with her superiors. Even when she might be correct, she can be relentless in driving this point home if she feels she's not being taken seriously or being misunderstood. Chains of command can fade away in her mind when it comes to taking the 'correct' course of action.
 +
 
 +
Something very few seemed to have known or picked up on is that she cannot stand being alone. Oft times, especially after a grueling or violent encounter, she has a tendency to just sit in the open where people might gather. She is exceedingly perceptive to other's emotional pains because she has often felt them herself and been forced to push through the situation alone. Loneliness makes her bitter and angry - altogether a very unhappy and brittle person to be around. To this end, has displayed difficulty with properly processing negative events and grief. The concept of pushing forward through times of intense sadness seems to be something she's hardly capable of doing and certainly not able to accomplish alone. Instead, she will hole herself up, run away from the situation, or altogether vanish.

When using Astrology, among the spells she favors are Aetherical Shields and Benefic spells for defense and healing. Offensively, she will attempt to pin an opponent with Gravity spells. If forced to actually strike then she will attack with Malefic blasts of unaspected aether, occasionally drawing upon the elements of her cards to imbue her spells with specific attributes.
 +
 
 +
When using Thaumaturgy, she attempts to continue her nonviolent tendencies by immobilizing enemies with frost and ice. She isn't readily a fan of fire aspected aether.

| <div style="font-size:12px; font-family:Georgia"> Madison's father truly has a bit of a quirky personality. He can be a serious man when focused intently on his mastery of alchemy and his successful business. It was his foremost concern to use these skills to provide for his wife and his daughter when they realized that Madeline's profession would be wholly unwelcome in Ishgard. When not working and when he's allowed to let his hair down he can be a bit of a prankster, playing tricks on his wife and daughter in good nature.
 +
 
 +
He loves his daughter dearly, his want for the best for her sometimes pushing Madsion in directions she feels might not fit her. He was the foremost proponent of Madison's early years being taught music and the ways of being an Ishgardian Lady. It was his hopes that with these she'd be able to find a suitable husband and want for nothing. He should have known after so many years being married to Madeline that fate had different ideas.</div>

It would seem her mother has a bit of a history to hide, her father never speaking of any of it and Madeline never discussing the subject. What could drive a Sharlayan couple to take up residence in Ishgard anyhow..?
 +

You'd never think any of this to speak to the woman though. She is bright eyed, always wearing a smile with a twinkle that makes you think that she always knows more than she's letting on. She has a tendency to sometimes speak in what could be considered riddles, as if she might be referring to something else entirely.
 +

Madison remembers her mother being displeased with the prospect of keeping her Art hidden whilst simultaneously pushing for their move to Ishgard. She's always been a strong force behind Madison, encouraging her daughter to do what she felt made sense for herself despite the urgings around her.<br>[[File:Madismother.png|thumbnail]]</div>

! Overview
 +
|-
 +
| <div style="font-size:11px;">If Madison could consider anyone a best friend it would likely be Hime. She was initially very curious of the woman, wondering where she'd learned her expertise and how she came to end up with the Pathfinders. However, as she's gotten to know her such concerns have dwindled. The two women have very similar thought processes but Hime could be considered to be the more harsh of the two in comparison to Madison's idealism. Both are Sharlayan trained Astrologians, having very similar combat styles and abilities. These similar skills have proven useful more than once, enabling both women to cast ritually to achieve feats that would otherwise be impossible by a sole Astrologian. Madison is in awe of Hime's impressive ability to cook but knows she likely would not have the time to learn or do so herself with all the company business she deals with.
 +
 +
<font style="color:#a92d4d;" size="2">✶</font> - Madison doesn't remember Hime's edges being quite so...sharp. She's harsher than she remembers but she also knows there are likely things she's been through that she no longer remembers. She feels there must be a good reason though for the quiet woman to have changed in such a way. She's hesitant to ask too many questions though for fear of dredging up things Hime doesn't want to talk about and she might actually not want to hear.

| <div style="font-size:11px;"> A man of many studied disciplines and titles, Sirius and Madison originally met under strained and tenuous circumstances. Having been away in Ishgard, recovering from her ordeal with Eddard, she'd no knowledge of this man nor of the fact he'd attacked their headquarters and revealed himself as Himeko's brother in the process. He identified himself as a Sharlayan Mage Hunter and demanded Madison be handed over to him so he could return her to the Old World. It didn't take long for him to find her in Ishgard, yet instead of attacking he approached her in conversation. After she put down the gun she'd pulled on him, the two agreed to meet for tea the next day. The conversation that would ensue would changed the course this man's life took. He chose to side with his sister and Madison, forsaking his place in the Sharlayan hierarchy and returned with them to further see to their safety from additional hunters that would impede on the peace the Pathfinders now enjoy. Sirius found himself distrusted by the company but Madison stood firm that he was now their ally. They spent many hours together talking and he agreed to train her in thaumaturgy which she excelled in under his tutelage. The two ended up falling in love with Sirius saying she inspired him to be a better man.
 +
 +
<font style="color:#a92d4d;" size="2">✶</font> - Her memories of her relationship with Sirius as well as her training in Thaumaturgy fell prey to her memory loss in her coma. Yet when she awoke and looked around his face brought her the most comfort. The two rekindled their friendship, with Sirius's protective enchantments being revealed as the reason Madison even survived the ordeal that put her in a coma. She feels immense guilt over the loss of what they shared and has told him as much but he assures her he is simply happy she is alive and will continue to stay by the company's side. Madison is considering approaching him to re-learn her Thaumaturgy.
 +
 +
With the dissolution of the Pathfinders, Madison and Sirius found a silver lining. While neither were pleased by the events, those that were wary of him were gone and Madison was free to focus with full effort on her renewed thaumaturgy studies. Despite trying to stave off her feelings for the man she found them developing in abandon once again. Sirius, in turn, confessed that he would never stop loving her regardless. This relationship is the first one Madison can ever remember being in and she is both excited and a bit girlishly giddy over her new status with the powerful mage. Only time will tell where things lead.
 +
 +
<b>Current: </b>
 +
The story of Madison and Sirius continues to be a long and bittersweet ballad that seems to have come to somewhat of an peaceful rest for the moment. The most that can be said about the two is while fate seeks to drive them both into death's embrace, they will never abandon the other. Most recently, Madison's refusal to leave his side for weeks when he was targeted by his own organization and Sirius's exploits tearing apart a company headquarters and then crashing a garlean class airship in transit when Madison and Astella were abducted proved this point. 
  
 +
After his heroic exploits, the man disappeared for moons. His recovery time was extensive, his health was at risk and loose ends that needed tying up abounded. Madison has yet to see him after this hiatus save for a few brief moments where she insisted he rest. While she is now more than used to his long departures from her side it still grieves her, even if she does not mention it. Though Madison has moved on romantically, she struggles to compartmentalize her extraordinary pull towards this man. Her judgement when it comes to Sirius remains rash and ruthless. She will not allow him to come to harm under any circumstances, even if it means endangering herself.
  
 +
The man has recently reappeared, announcing that his business is taken care of for the moment. After he was introduced to Basile, Sirius and Madison came to an emotional understanding that she would be seriously pursuing her relationship with the Knight. Sirius has re-taken up his residence in the Mist home and and assured her he intends to remain a constant, if platonic, presence in her life.

−
Madison is the daughter of Sharlayan refugees who fled to Ishgard when the research colony collapsed 27 years ago. Her parents, being academically and aetherically gifted, were able to make a decent living for themselves in the notoriously socially unaccepting landscape of Ishgard. She'd grow up in The Foundation but despite their middle class status, Madison would always find difficulties stemming from being born Hyuran. A recent arrival to the lower city states, Madison joined the Pathfinders as her first real employment. She works as a musician and performer in Neverfar's tavern.

| <div style="font-size:11px;">Madison has seen Jin in combat many times and trusts the man to always do what is right by the company. He is a welcome and comforting stable figure when times grow unsteady. It's Jin that is the primary caretaker of Room 12, taking responsibility for any inside and any disturbances that occur on Company property. In Eddard's absence it's been Jin, along with Reinhold, who have been heading up the martial side of the company. Madison was initially cautious when Jin and Hime revealed their engagement but as time as passed she's observed that the Xaela truly seems to have the woman's well being foremost in his mind. It was a development from him she didn't quite expect and she is still somewhat taken aback at witnessing some of their more tender moments. The Xaela just looks so (unintentionally) menacing that it seems comically out of place to her.
  
 +
<font style="color:#a92d4d;" size="2">✶</font> - Madison doesn't see as much of Jin as she was expecting. He was one of the few she would remember from before the cycle of her memory she lost but he seems to be constantly busy with things outside the company. Madison has settled into her leadership role, however, finding there being plenty to keep her occupied in his absence.

| <div style="font-size:11px;">Noah came wholly as a shock to Madison when she first met him. She wandered into the Aethertide estate, anxious to hit the ground running and begin her time with the new company. She began looking for her superior and instead ran into this masked individual. After a moment or two of discussion, she found out she'd be working under him. Him, the masked former thaumaturge.
  
−
: Madison is meekly framed and thus appears delicate. She was raised as a lady by her family and tends to carry herself as such except when in familiar company. She is a strawberry blonde with green eyes. She bears no scars or tokens from combat because she's never had to raise a hand against anyone or in defense. She is told she's beautiful but a lifetime of being treated as a secondary option or waved off like a fly leaves her utterly unaware and unsure of this. She prefers not to dwell on it and focuses on other aspects of her personality if the topic of physical form is brought up in conversation.
+
She concluded that the Spinner was simply making her sense of humor known.  
  
−
: Madison has not the experience to say she understands true hardship, but she has traveled enough and seen enough of the Calamity's after effects to be sensitive to people's plights. She can sometimes be naive, always wanting to assume the best in people and will usually grant a benefit of the doubt before her trust is broken. Once it is done, however, she will put you through torment to earn it back. She understands poverty, hunger and loss from a very "academic" perspective and thusly tries to analyze people's behaviors to explain why they may act certain ways. For instance, she will attempt to rationalize with -why- a thief stole from her and discuss it rather then automatically resorting to anger or violence.
+
Even still, she was impressed with Noah's manners and disposition immediately. She finds him a well spoken and learned individual if exceedingly private and closed. In the days that have passed she has made efforts to know him better though the man conceals what he is within with the save fervor as he conceals his face. Madison tends to view Noah as more of a potential friend than as an authority figure but she would follow an order if it was given by the Emissary.  
  
−
: She never had a difficult time making friends but she could sometimes be withdrawn. A bit of an introvert, she can come across melancholy, especially when upset or angered. If her temper is roused then a bit of groveling or an apology is usually required to get back into her good graces. The girl can hold a grudge and it's not one of her more attractive qualities. Madison can also be prone to spouts of jealously. She can be possessive and result to passive aggressiveness should the situation escalate. Due to her experience and age, Madison can sometimes handle situations poorly. She is not vindictive and never means any real harm but her words can still damage more than she knows. She has a temper and try as she might it can oft flare depending on the situation. She will make an attempt to excuse herself to calm down but if her escape path is blocked than she can become physical.
+
She is currently waiting to begin his lessons in tutoring in him in piano.</div>
 +
|}
 +
</div>
  
−
: Madison is aware that she is very lucky in her circumstances and as a result does not shine attention on it. She will often shy away from personal subjects about her background unless she feels she can trust whomever she speaking to. It's been her general experience that once someone knows her background they stop listening to her when she talks. Nothing will upset and infuriate her more quickly than insults being lodged her way over her upbringing. While she can normally deflect these fairly well from strangers, when they come from someone close they cut her deep.

|-
 +
| <div style="font-size:11px;"> The leader of the Pathfinders and Madison have had a long term, if not somewhat torrid relationship. Even when first starting out it was clear to both of them that none of this was going to be easy, yet it despite it all they felt hopelessly drawn to one another. For several long months, the two worked together in tandem, creating and establishing the form of The Pathfinders that is known today. Yet recently, Eddard's other business interests have kept him away. Madison remained somewhat aware of what was occurring for a time but her communications with the man have dwindled to an all time low. Her stubbornness and refusal to easily let go of what kept them together keeps her holding on with the goal that she can somehow fix whatever is happening. Yet even Madison's fiery will is beginning to burn out in the face of the attitude Eddard has shown her recently...
  
−
: Madison was recruited into the Pathfinders as a non-combatant, however, her studies as an astrologian didn't leave her with a lack of being able to defend herself. She was taught offensive and defensive combat patterns and maneuvers with an array of offensive spells at her disposal. However, Madison is an objector - reluctant to fight offensively unless truly provoked and forced to defend herself or others she cares for. If someone she loved were endangered she would draw a weapon...and hate herself for it later.  
+
<font style="color:#a92d4d;" size="2">✶</font> - Madison simply never stopped loving Eddard no matter how painful it got. Every step forward, every bit of growth in her life seemed to exist in the hole and the shadow this man left behind. Despite growing closer with Sirius, Eddard appeared to her once more unbeknownst to the others. He imparted onto her a ring which she took as a promise of his return when in reality it was the man imparting the last bit of his humanity to her before he returned to his life in the underworld. It was a tragedy she could never fully cope with and mayhaps it was a blessing of the Twelve in disguise that took away her recollections of him.

 +
| <div style="font-size:11px;">Madison developed an affinity for the thinly, frail man all too quickly. It also didn't help that his appearance played quite well on her abundant sympathies. More than once now she's found herself wandering about the room or the outdoors, searching for a suitable walking stick for him so he can keep pace with the group. Yet it would be his knowledge of the void and the way he carried himself that would snare and hold her attention.
  
−
:: As a child, Madison was lucky to have parents who held valuable education and trade skills. As a result, there was sufficient money for her to receive a proper education. Born under the sign of the Spinner, she began to show signs from an early age that she had inherited her mother's talents for Astrology and seeing into the wheels of fate. However, the traditional Sharlayan version of Astrology was akin to heresy in her younger years and Madison began learning the Ishgardian version. However, he mother did her best to guide her along the path and teach her the "proper" way of the craft.
+
She quickly realized that Khyran was not unlike how she was. He was a man that often forgoes his own mental and emotional wellbeing, burying himself in his work and occupying himself away from his troubles by assisting others. Altruistic, yes. But also destructive. She made a silent resolution that she'd not ever leave this man alone if she was in the position to prevent it. She knows all too well how it is to be left alone for one's own thoughts and doubts to devour you.  
  
−
:: The girl had to be exceedingly careful about not revealing this to anyone as it could have had her whole family executed. During the period she grew up, the inquisitors were fervent - yet to be revealed for the Zealots and Dravanians they were. Even those of the High Houses were not safe from accusation or wrath. There were days when someone she knew just wouldn't be at the observatory anymore. They'd been forced to jump to their death at Witchdrop in Coetheras.
+
Khyran's past, however, did come as a shock to her. Though after dwelling upon the situation she found herself unable to hold the man to fire he's been holding himself to. She looks forward to more interactions and getting to know him better. Everyone has things they are ashamed of yet she remains convinced that Khyran is a good person that did the best they could when placed in horrible circumstances.
  
 +
She also wouldn't mind trying another one of those cigars.

:: The second part of her education was intended to facilitate her marriage to a highborn gentleman. Madison is classically trained in music and adept at the art.

| <div style="font-size:11px;">Madison both admires Lahn and is just a little longing over aspects of her life. The prospect of someday having a happy marriage and children is something Madison can say she wouldn't mind. Though Lahn combines this with her adventuring lifestyle and she can't help but be impressed by the woman's ability to juggle the two. To Madison's great shock to was Lahn, gentle and passive Lahn, that struck the first blow out of bounds and spark a major conflict with an organization known as the Masked Roses. She would have expected it from Zakrin but, at the moment, she's at a loss at quite how to handle the woman. She feels for her situation but she cannot allow her to endanger others.

:: As she grew, it was highly encouraged that she grow into a proper lady and she made this her focus as much as her studies in her early years. She would often see the women in the Pillars walk about in fine dress and furs and emulate them - wanting to be just like them. However, one painful truth eluded her at her tender age. The majority of them were Elezen.

:: The fact that she was descended from Hyuran immigrants would become a major factor in her adolescence. Try as she might, none of the efforts she ever made were good enough and she constantly felt like an outsider in a society that subtly did not want her. The way she bloomed with age only made matters worse. Through showcasing her musical talents and her outward features she did occasionally catch the eye of gentleman that would have made well and proper matches. She took a shine to one particular gentleman only to have him crush her with the proposition of him making her his mistress while he searched for an Elezen wife. Madison's spirit in her society and what she'd been trained to be broke after that. She ceased going to the social events and gatherings her parents insisted she did. She holed herself up in her room with her Astronomy and her music.

| <div style="font-size:11px;">Madison previously had a very businesslike attitude towards Zakrin. She enjoyed time spent with him and Lahn and due to some of her more recent training was quite perceptive of some of the man's skills he keeps close to his chest. Since losing this knowledge, however, the man was brand new to her. She found revelations about him shocking and wholly unexpected. She also found herself oddly put off when he was cold to her upon her healing him. But he's...Urm. He's a very dedicated man. And that's what matters. Madison chooses to focus very very hard on tasks at hand in his presence and excuse herself soon after.

| <div style="font-size:11px;">Madison would not have woken up from her coma had it not been for this woman's alchemical genius. However, the trauma she suffered and a combination of the strong drugs that Maril injected into her to wake her did see that she lost about one cycle from her memory. Madison, however, is eternally grateful to Maril. From speaking with the others and learning more about her past she's come to terms with what has occurred and decided it may have been for the best. She's interested in joining the network of health clinics she runs and also possibly learning alchemy from her.

:: Once the Dravanians reared their head again and Ishgard opened the gates to seek help from outsiders, Madison saw a chance for her to escape and see things she'd only dreamed of before. Her parents, while loving, were reluctant to the idea but in the end they gave her some gil and watched as she packed her bags and left home, eager to see the world abroad.

As a child, Madison was lucky to have parents who held valuable education and trade skills. As a result, there was sufficient money for her to receive a proper education. Born under the sign of the Spinner, she began to show signs from an early age that she had inherited her mother's talents for Astrology and seeing into the wheels of fate. However, the traditional Sharlayan version of Astrology was akin to heresy in her younger years and Madison began learning the Ishgardian version. However, he mother did her best to guide her along the path and teach her the "proper" way of the craft.

The girl had to be exceedingly careful about not revealing this to anyone as it could have had her whole family executed. During the period she grew up, the inquisitors were fervent - yet to be revealed for the Zealots and Dravanians they were. Even those of the High Houses were not safe from accusation or wrath. There were days when someone she knew just wouldn't be at the observatory anymore. They'd been forced to jump to their death at Witchdrop in Coetheras.

The second part of her education was intended to facilitate her marriage to a highborn gentleman. Madison is classically trained in music and adept at the art.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ausaux Grimand]] - This Duskwight, or Shader as he's wont to call himself, met Madison by random chance. She crossed paths with him and Forgotten Treant at the same time in Ul'dah. The way he spoke and carried himself drew her to him instantly, like a moth to a flame. It took all the courage the girl had to spark conversation with him. A conversation that he was, to her surprise, very willing to have. The days after they met were wrought with strife, with the two seldom having a moment alone due to Ausaux's business engagements. However, as time went on the initial spark between them grew into something far more. Madison remains convinced he saw her coming, divining through his magic. Current events and attempts on his life have pushed him into hiding and, when faced with the choice, Madison went with him. She dropped everything immediately to be at his side. His frequent absences pain her far more than she admits and she struggles to balance the amount of time she finds herself alone.

As she grew, it was highly encouraged that she grow into a proper lady and she made this her focus as much as her studies in her early years. She would often see the women in the Pillars walk about in fine dress and furs and emulate them - wanting to be just like them. However, one painful truth eluded her at her tender age.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC" size="3">♥</font>  [[Eddard Holt]] - Try as she might and despite her efforts to bury it, Madison can't seem to squelch what draws her to him. Beneath his growly, tough exterior lies the man she swore she saw at the beginning and despite his efforts to hide it her current predicament has brought that man out in him more than he knows. She's told him as much, wanting to remain honest with him despite her temporary departure from the company. Eddard even came to visit her in Gridania during one of the few moments she found herself able to venture into the city proper. Their nightly talks over her linkpearl have become something of a habit and something she enjoys very much. Madison is beginning to find it exceedingly difficult to keep anything from Eddard, revealing to him far more than she thinks any of her current companions would be comfortable with.  
+
The fact that she was descended from Hyuran immigrants would become a major factor in her adolescence. Try as she might, none of the efforts she ever made were good enough and she constantly felt like an outsider in a society that subtly did not want her. The way she bloomed with age only made matters worse. Through showcasing her musical talents and her outward features she did occasionally catch the eye of gentleman that would have made well and proper matches. She took a shine to one particular gentleman only to have him crush her with the proposition of him making her his mistress while he searched for an Elezen wife. Madison's spirit in her society and what she'd been trained to be broke after that. She ceased going to the social events and gatherings her parents insisted she did. She holed herself up in her room with her Astronomy and her music.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Shay Baien]] - Madison met Shay the same night she met Ausaux and Treant. The three have been in an arguement ever since about Shay's insistance regarding the battles he claims to have been in. Madison did her best to remain impartial on the subject, not siding one way or another but the situation heated until it broke out in violence one evening. After that Shay revealed things to her that caused her to question the man's sanity and she distanced herself. She still cares for Shay and worries for him, wondering where he got off to after they parted ways. His absence was not lost on her.  
+
Once the Dravanians reared their head again and Ishgard opened the gates to seek help from outsiders, Madison saw a chance for her to escape and see things she'd only dreamed of before. Her parents, while loving, were reluctant to the idea but in the end they gave her some gil and watched as she packed her bags and left home, eager to see the world abroad.
  
−
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Syf Kha]] - Madison loves Syf and considers her a good friend even though she's wholly unaware of the tribal implications the girl brings to the table. Madison would happily engage in them while being unaware of how seriously Syf takes it.
 
  
−
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Talan Dracht]] - Talan strikes Madison as a genuine sort. Truly kind, truly gentlemanly. A bright spot in an otherwise very gray world. She finds herself strangely protective of him.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Chief Neverfar]] - The namesake for Neverfar's tavern. A cheerful Roe and an excellent storyteller. Barring that, Madison doesn't know much of him. He is often away on business, leaving much of running things to fall to Eddard and herself.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Forgotten Treant]] - A good friend of Ausaux and, by his claim, an older brother to the man. Madison valued his insight and advice regarding many things but she's realizing he has a belligerent streak to him that needs to be reined in. One part of her secretly enjoys it though. It keeps him youthful.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Dante Thalmos]] - When Madison originally met Dante she didn't expect to know him long if at all. She thought he was a peculiar sort, rude and impertinent yet with a very excellent sense of humor. She often found herself wanting to glower at him as often as she found herself laughing at his quips. Unbeknownst to everyone but Dante and Ausaux, Madison endangered herself greatly to try and heal the dragoon but she learned much from the process. She's confided in him about her desire to get stronger and he cautioned her against losing herself in the process.

Here was a woman that managed to be herself and be crass and still maintain the company of gentleman. How did she do it?? Didn't they grow tired of her..?? Amazement could be a term to describe it. The memory of her bluntness and her words carry on with Madison as she tries, and often fails, to incorporate it in to her own behavior. She wonders what might have become of her.

Madison was originally designed as tavern maiden but a mixture of RP developing the ways it did and my own desires caused her to develop into what you see today. I originally had no intentions for her to be any kind of leader or strong combatant but the character grew into the roles. In retrospect, it's quite satisifying and I'm very happy with her and how far she's come.

Madison is the daughter of Old World citizens who inhabited the Sharlayan research colony in Dravania. She and her family fled to Ishgard during the 5 year long Sharlayan negotiations with the Garleans. Her parents, being academically and aetherically gifted, were able to make a decent living for themselves in the notoriously socially unaccepting landscape of Ishgard. She'd grow up in The Foundation but despite their middle class status, Madison would always find difficulties stemming from being born Hyuran. A recent arrival to the lower city states, Madison joined the Pathfinders Free Company as her first real employment. She worked as a musician and performer in Neverfar's tavern until the needs of the company resulted in her taking on more duties. For nearly two years, due to a strange twists of fate, Madison found herself at the helm of the Mercenary Company and Aetherical Research Center. She spent her days tirelessly doing her utmost to ensure things ran smoothly, both succeeding and failing in this goal. However, a dark cloud descended upon the company itself, causing her to finally make the choice to close it for good. The Free Company abode, housed in the mysterious study of a former unknown Magi, ended up becoming the personal residence of the remaining Pathfinders who banded together - unwilling to abandon their home or each other in the face of the evil making itself slowly known. She now works for another Free Company and is adjusting to life outside of being the head of command for once. Old habits die hard, however, and Madison is oft reminded by her close friends that she should enjoy her time and not worry about so many responsibilities.


Appearance & Personality

Glass-circle.png Appearance & Personality

Nature & Demeanor

Nature & Demeanor

Demeanor: Madison was raised in Ishgard, brought up to be a Lady as her family worked tirelessly to fit into their surroundings to avoid any suspicion or detection from the Holy See. Her manner of speaking and way she carries herself is refined, yet has been beginning to relax with all the time she has spent in Ul'dah and Limsa.

Nature: Madison can be regarded as a refined Lady only as far as her patience happens to extend. With a drop in the cadence of her voice or a twitch of her eye she can seemingly shift gears in a moment, becoming quite commanding or demanding depending on what she feels the situation calls for. She always has her intents set firmly in the greater good, even if it may come off naive to those around her.

Religion: Madison is firmly pious, believing wholeheartedly in the goodness of the Twelve and the blessings they provide. In her mind, she owes them almost everything, right down to the magicks she wields and the aether she borrows from the heavens due to the nature of her Art. It's these thoughts in her mind as she casts, every spell beseeching them for their unique strengths to see her to her goals.

Notable Features

Notable Features

Common Appearance: Madison seems to fluctuate in her styles, some days choosing to be seen in pants and boots and others in sandals and skirts. It doesn't take long to realize that her wardrobe is extensive. She wears light makeup, opting for a shade of pink on her lips and a nude eyeshadow. Her hair is often worn down but she will occasionally be seen with it tied back. Her hair is always long.

Scars & Markings: Madison seems to lack any overly noticeable outward scars and she seems intent on keeping it that way. Her upbringing was very peaceful, the woman never seeing much combat until her days with the Pathfinders. Any wounds inflicted she will aetherically heal herself or have Himeko use her Astrology to heal as to ensure the lack or at least very dim scarring.

Voice: Madison speaks with an Ishgardian accent, furthering the impression of her proper upbringing. Her accent has been known to thicken when she becomes emotional or angered. Voiceclaim here.

Clothing: All of the clothing. Madison can seem to be a bit spoiled in this department. She is fastidious in her appearance, sometimes causing her to be a hindrance on outdoor excursions.

Abilities

Glass-circle.png Abilities

Strengths

Strengths

Madison's first and foremost strength is her aetheric prowess. She's never brought it up in conversation, but the more aetherically sensitive may be able to tell that she boasts of pool of immense proportions. She is a learned Sharlayan Astrologian, having been tutored in the art from a young age. The spells she casts are practiced and proficient, seeming to be able to reverse the infliction of wounds in the way only an Astrologian can. She never much cared for the more offensive side of her art, yet since joining and leading the Pathfinders she'd had no choice but to bring these spells into play many times. Currently, Madison possess a fine control over this art and can wield it in many ways. To heal, to restrain and to kill if need be. Exceedingly rarely and in dire circumstances, she's shown to possess the ability to change the course of a battle, altering her comrades courses towards a path of victory. This is very rarely seen and not discussed outside her most personal of circles.

While she possesses the aetheric capability to branch into other magics, for years she only focused on becoming the best Astrologian she could. Previously, she was unskilled in other magics, only able to lend assistance to other members Thaumiturgical casting by virtue of her large aetheric reserves.

Madison has long been told that due to her affinity for aether she'd make a great thaumaturge. She never quite found herself properly motivated to throw herself into learning the art until she met a very specific individual to tutor her. Since then, her skill in thaumaturgy has began to grow slowly but steadily. She is by no means a thaumaturgic caster of frightening proportions but she's surpassed what one would call a novice. This endeavor is currently her primary study and goal.

Madison would consider her words her secondary strength. If you asked her where she developed this or honed it she would not be able to readily elaborate as it seems to be a natural tendency and ability she possesses. She has, for a long time, had a dislike for combat and has shown to always try to opt for a non-violent resolution to conflict. To her credit, she's been able to mark several successes down in her favor where this is concerned. On several occasions, she has negotiated an end to hostilities between two factions and found a more peaceful and preferable resolution. She has every intent to continue this course and bring these abilities to use in her new Company - even if she must start the process herself.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses

Madison's aetherical skill is met with an equally strong physical weakness. Years of tutelage and practice honing her magic has left her rather meekly framed. She was never taught or trained any forms of physical self defense and finds herself at a terrible disadvantage should an opponent manage to move in on her in close quarters. She is stubborn as well, oft times refusing offers to train her in an art of physical self defense. Deep down, she truly, perhaps foolhardily, believes her Astrology to be the mastery of all techniques.

Madison's intense urgings to do the right thing have often resulted in her displaying reckless and foolhardy behaviors where her own well being is concerned. Indeed, sometimes it would seem she has little regard for it whatsoever as she flings herself off into a situation which will obviously bear consequences she might not have thought of yet. She always means well, even if she's doing something questionable. Additionally, her certainty of the virtue of her choices can lead her to argue with her superiors. Even when she might be correct, she can be relentless in driving this point home if she feels she's not being taken seriously or being misunderstood. Chains of command can fade away in her mind when it comes to taking the 'correct' course of action.

Something very few seemed to have known or picked up on is that she cannot stand being alone. Oft times, especially after a grueling or violent encounter, she has a tendency to just sit in the open where people might gather. She is exceedingly perceptive to other's emotional pains because she has often felt them herself and been forced to push through the situation alone. Loneliness makes her bitter and angry - altogether a very unhappy and brittle person to be around. To this end, has displayed difficulty with properly processing negative events and grief. The concept of pushing forward through times of intense sadness seems to be something she's hardly capable of doing and certainly not able to accomplish alone. Instead, she will hole herself up, run away from the situation, or altogether vanish.

Combat

Combat

When using Astrology, among the spells she favors are Aetherical Shields and Benefic spells for defense and healing. Offensively, she will attempt to pin an opponent with Gravity spells. If forced to actually strike then she will attack with Malefic blasts of unaspected aether, occasionally drawing upon the elements of her cards to imbue her spells with specific attributes.

When using Thaumaturgy, she attempts to continue her nonviolent tendencies by immobilizing enemies with frost and ice. She isn't readily a fan of fire aspected aether.

Relations (NPC)

Relations (NPC)
Name (♥) - Liam Brookstone
Madison's father truly has a bit of a quirky personality. He can be a serious man when focused intently on his mastery of alchemy and his successful business. It was his foremost concern to use these skills to provide for his wife and his daughter when they realized that Madeline's profession would be wholly unwelcome in Ishgard. When not working and when he's allowed to let his hair down he can be a bit of a prankster, playing tricks on his wife and daughter in good nature. He loves his daughter dearly, his want for the best for her sometimes pushing Madsion in directions she feels might not fit her. He was the foremost proponent of Madison's early years being taught music and the ways of being an Ishgardian Lady. It was his hopes that with these she'd be able to find a suitable husband and want for nothing. He should have known after so many years being married to Madeline that fate had different ideas.
Name (♥) - Madeline Brookstone
Madison's mother is an accomplished Sharlayan Astrologian and also Madison's mentor. Currently unknown to Madison, her mother had graduated with top honors from the Old World, holding commendations from various Scholasticates and Astrologicums. It would seem her mother has a bit of a history to hide, her father never speaking of any of it and Madeline never discussing the subject. What could drive a Sharlayan couple to take up residence in Ishgard anyhow..?

You'd never think any of this to speak to the woman though. She is bright eyed, always wearing a smile with a twinkle that makes you think that she always knows more than she's letting on. She has a tendency to sometimes speak in what could be considered riddles, as if she might be referring to something else entirely.

Madison remembers her mother being displeased with the prospect of keeping her Art hidden whilst simultaneously pushing for their move to Ishgard. She's always been a strong force behind Madison, encouraging her daughter to do what she felt made sense for herself despite the urgings around her.

Active Relations (PC)

Active Relations (PC)


  • Himeko Hasegawa ★
    The Learned

Overview
If Madison could consider anyone a best friend it would likely be Hime. She was initially very curious of the woman, wondering where she'd learned her expertise and how she came to end up with the Pathfinders. However, as she's gotten to know her such concerns have dwindled. The two women have very similar thought processes but Hime could be considered to be the more harsh of the two in comparison to Madison's idealism. Both are Sharlayan trained Astrologians, having very similar combat styles and abilities. These similar skills have proven useful more than once, enabling both women to cast ritually to achieve feats that would otherwise be impossible by a sole Astrologian. Madison is in awe of Hime's impressive ability to cook but knows she likely would not have the time to learn or do so herself with all the company business she deals with.

✶ - Madison doesn't remember Hime's edges being quite so...sharp. She's harsher than she remembers but she also knows there are likely things she's been through that she no longer remembers. She feels there must be a good reason though for the quiet woman to have changed in such a way. She's hesitant to ask too many questions though for fear of dredging up things Hime doesn't want to talk about and she might actually not want to hear.

  • Sirius Arcanas ♥★
    The Misconceived Magus

Overview
A man of many studied disciplines and titles, Sirius and Madison originally met under strained and tenuous circumstances. Having been away in Ishgard, recovering from her ordeal with Eddard, she'd no knowledge of this man nor of the fact he'd attacked their headquarters and revealed himself as Himeko's brother in the process. He identified himself as a Sharlayan Mage Hunter and demanded Madison be handed over to him so he could return her to the Old World. It didn't take long for him to find her in Ishgard, yet instead of attacking he approached her in conversation. After she put down the gun she'd pulled on him, the two agreed to meet for tea the next day. The conversation that would ensue would changed the course this man's life took. He chose to side with his sister and Madison, forsaking his place in the Sharlayan hierarchy and returned with them to further see to their safety from additional hunters that would impede on the peace the Pathfinders now enjoy. Sirius found himself distrusted by the company but Madison stood firm that he was now their ally. They spent many hours together talking and he agreed to train her in thaumaturgy which she excelled in under his tutelage. The two ended up falling in love with Sirius saying she inspired him to be a better man.

✶ - Her memories of her relationship with Sirius as well as her training in Thaumaturgy fell prey to her memory loss in her coma. Yet when she awoke and looked around his face brought her the most comfort. The two rekindled their friendship, with Sirius's protective enchantments being revealed as the reason Madison even survived the ordeal that put her in a coma. She feels immense guilt over the loss of what they shared and has told him as much but he assures her he is simply happy she is alive and will continue to stay by the company's side. Madison is considering approaching him to re-learn her Thaumaturgy.

With the dissolution of the Pathfinders, Madison and Sirius found a silver lining. While neither were pleased by the events, those that were wary of him were gone and Madison was free to focus with full effort on her renewed thaumaturgy studies. Despite trying to stave off her feelings for the man she found them developing in abandon once again. Sirius, in turn, confessed that he would never stop loving her regardless. This relationship is the first one Madison can ever remember being in and she is both excited and a bit girlishly giddy over her new status with the powerful mage. Only time will tell where things lead.

Current: The story of Madison and Sirius continues to be a long and bittersweet ballad that seems to have come to somewhat of an peaceful rest for the moment. The most that can be said about the two is while fate seeks to drive them both into death's embrace, they will never abandon the other. Most recently, Madison's refusal to leave his side for weeks when he was targeted by his own organization and Sirius's exploits tearing apart a company headquarters and then crashing a garlean class airship in transit when Madison and Astella were abducted proved this point.

After his heroic exploits, the man disappeared for moons. His recovery time was extensive, his health was at risk and loose ends that needed tying up abounded. Madison has yet to see him after this hiatus save for a few brief moments where she insisted he rest. While she is now more than used to his long departures from her side it still grieves her, even if she does not mention it. Though Madison has moved on romantically, she struggles to compartmentalize her extraordinary pull towards this man. Her judgement when it comes to Sirius remains rash and ruthless. She will not allow him to come to harm under any circumstances, even if it means endangering herself.

The man has recently reappeared, announcing that his business is taken care of for the moment. After he was introduced to Basile, Sirius and Madison came to an emotional understanding that she would be seriously pursuing her relationship with the Knight. Sirius has re-taken up his residence in the Mist home and and assured her he intends to remain a constant, if platonic, presence in her life.


Overview
Madison has seen Jin in combat many times and trusts the man to always do what is right by the company. He is a welcome and comforting stable figure when times grow unsteady. It's Jin that is the primary caretaker of Room 12, taking responsibility for any inside and any disturbances that occur on Company property. In Eddard's absence it's been Jin, along with Reinhold, who have been heading up the martial side of the company. Madison was initially cautious when Jin and Hime revealed their engagement but as time as passed she's observed that the Xaela truly seems to have the woman's well being foremost in his mind. It was a development from him she didn't quite expect and she is still somewhat taken aback at witnessing some of their more tender moments. The Xaela just looks so (unintentionally) menacing that it seems comically out of place to her.

✶ - Madison doesn't see as much of Jin as she was expecting. He was one of the few she would remember from before the cycle of her memory she lost but he seems to be constantly busy with things outside the company. Madison has settled into her leadership role, however, finding there being plenty to keep her occupied in his absence.

  • Noah Kelten ●✔
    The Masked Intrigue

Overview
Noah came wholly as a shock to Madison when she first met him. She wandered into the Aethertide estate, anxious to hit the ground running and begin her time with the new company. She began looking for her superior and instead ran into this masked individual. After a moment or two of discussion, she found out she'd be working under him. Him, the masked former thaumaturge.

She concluded that the Spinner was simply making her sense of humor known.

Even still, she was impressed with Noah's manners and disposition immediately. She finds him a well spoken and learned individual if exceedingly private and closed. In the days that have passed she has made efforts to know him better though the man conceals what he is within with the save fervor as he conceals his face. Madison tends to view Noah as more of a potential friend than as an authority figure but she would follow an order if it was given by the Emissary.

She is currently waiting to begin his lessons in tutoring in him in piano.
Inactive Relations (PC)
Overview
The leader of the Pathfinders and Madison have had a long term, if not somewhat torrid relationship. Even when first starting out it was clear to both of them that none of this was going to be easy, yet it despite it all they felt hopelessly drawn to one another. For several long months, the two worked together in tandem, creating and establishing the form of The Pathfinders that is known today. Yet recently, Eddard's other business interests have kept him away. Madison remained somewhat aware of what was occurring for a time but her communications with the man have dwindled to an all time low. Her stubbornness and refusal to easily let go of what kept them together keeps her holding on with the goal that she can somehow fix whatever is happening. Yet even Madison's fiery will is beginning to burn out in the face of the attitude Eddard has shown her recently...

✶ - Madison simply never stopped loving Eddard no matter how painful it got. Every step forward, every bit of growth in her life seemed to exist in the hole and the shadow this man left behind. Despite growing closer with Sirius, Eddard appeared to her once more unbeknownst to the others. He imparted onto her a ring which she took as a promise of his return when in reality it was the man imparting the last bit of his humanity to her before he returned to his life in the underworld. It was a tragedy she could never fully cope with and mayhaps it was a blessing of the Twelve in disguise that took away her recollections of him.

Overview
Madison developed an affinity for the thinly, frail man all too quickly. It also didn't help that his appearance played quite well on her abundant sympathies. More than once now she's found herself wandering about the room or the outdoors, searching for a suitable walking stick for him so he can keep pace with the group. Yet it would be his knowledge of the void and the way he carried himself that would snare and hold her attention.

She quickly realized that Khyran was not unlike how she was. He was a man that often forgoes his own mental and emotional wellbeing, burying himself in his work and occupying himself away from his troubles by assisting others. Altruistic, yes. But also destructive. She made a silent resolution that she'd not ever leave this man alone if she was in the position to prevent it. She knows all too well how it is to be left alone for one's own thoughts and doubts to devour you.

Khyran's past, however, did come as a shock to her. Though after dwelling upon the situation she found herself unable to hold the man to fire he's been holding himself to. She looks forward to more interactions and getting to know him better. Everyone has things they are ashamed of yet she remains convinced that Khyran is a good person that did the best they could when placed in horrible circumstances.

She also wouldn't mind trying another one of those cigars.

Overview
Madison both admires Lahn and is just a little longing over aspects of her life. The prospect of someday having a happy marriage and children is something Madison can say she wouldn't mind. Though Lahn combines this with her adventuring lifestyle and she can't help but be impressed by the woman's ability to juggle the two. To Madison's great shock to was Lahn, gentle and passive Lahn, that struck the first blow out of bounds and spark a major conflict with an organization known as the Masked Roses. She would have expected it from Zakrin but, at the moment, she's at a loss at quite how to handle the woman. She feels for her situation but she cannot allow her to endanger others.
Overview
Madison previously had a very businesslike attitude towards Zakrin. She enjoyed time spent with him and Lahn and due to some of her more recent training was quite perceptive of some of the man's skills he keeps close to his chest. Since losing this knowledge, however, the man was brand new to her. She found revelations about him shocking and wholly unexpected. She also found herself oddly put off when he was cold to her upon her healing him. But he's...Urm. He's a very dedicated man. And that's what matters. Madison chooses to focus very very hard on tasks at hand in his presence and excuse herself soon after.
Overview
Madison would not have woken up from her coma had it not been for this woman's alchemical genius. However, the trauma she suffered and a combination of the strong drugs that Maril injected into her to wake her did see that she lost about one cycle from her memory. Madison, however, is eternally grateful to Maril. From speaking with the others and learning more about her past she's come to terms with what has occurred and decided it may have been for the best. She's interested in joining the network of health clinics she runs and also possibly learning alchemy from her.

History

Glass-circle.png History
This Section is a WIP


As a child, Madison was lucky to have parents who held valuable education and trade skills. As a result, there was sufficient money for her to receive a proper education. Born under the sign of the Spinner, she began to show signs from an early age that she had inherited her mother's talents for Astrology and seeing into the wheels of fate. However, the traditional Sharlayan version of Astrology was akin to heresy in her younger years and Madison began learning the Ishgardian version. However, he mother did her best to guide her along the path and teach her the "proper" way of the craft.

The girl had to be exceedingly careful about not revealing this to anyone as it could have had her whole family executed. During the period she grew up, the inquisitors were fervent - yet to be revealed for the Zealots and Dravanians they were. Even those of the High Houses were not safe from accusation or wrath. There were days when someone she knew just wouldn't be at the observatory anymore. They'd been forced to jump to their death at Witchdrop in Coetheras.

The second part of her education was intended to facilitate her marriage to a highborn gentleman. Madison is classically trained in music and adept at the art. Among her fluent instruments are the violin, cello, harp, harpsichord, piano and her voice. Her parents disallowed horns or percussion instruments, however, as these were deemed too masculine.

As she grew, it was highly encouraged that she grow into a proper lady and she made this her focus as much as her studies in her early years. She would often see the women in the Pillars walk about in fine dress and furs and emulate them - wanting to be just like them. However, one painful truth eluded her at her tender age. The majority of them were Elezen.

The fact that she was descended from Hyuran immigrants would become a major factor in her adolescence. Try as she might, none of the efforts she ever made were good enough and she constantly felt like an outsider in a society that subtly did not want her. The way she bloomed with age only made matters worse. Through showcasing her musical talents and her outward features she did occasionally catch the eye of gentleman that would have made well and proper matches. She took a shine to one particular gentleman only to have him crush her with the proposition of him making her his mistress while he searched for an Elezen wife. Madison's spirit in her society and what she'd been trained to be broke after that. She ceased going to the social events and gatherings her parents insisted she did. She holed herself up in her room with her Astronomy and her music.

Once the Dravanians reared their head again and Ishgard opened the gates to seek help from outsiders, Madison saw a chance for her to escape and see things she'd only dreamed of before. Her parents, while loving, were reluctant to the idea but in the end they gave her some gil and watched as she packed her bags and left home, eager to see the world abroad.

Madison was originally designed as tavern maiden but a mixture of RP developing the ways it did and my own desires caused her to develop into what you see today. I originally had no intentions for her to be any kind of leader or strong combatant but the character grew into the roles. In retrospect, it's quite satisifying and I'm very happy with her and how far she's come.

I Prefer: Dark, Grim, Gritty RP. Lighthearted slice of life RP. Developed RP relationships. Arcs heavy in plot. Scheduled Events. Well thought out, developed characters with motivations unique to their experiences. Lore friendly and abiding characters and situations.

I Do Not: Allow anyone else to decide how my character is permanently maimed, disfigured, attacked, sexually assaulted, killed or otherwise emotionally or mentally scarred. These things should be discussed with the player beforehand. Upon discussion, you'll find I'm pretty open minded and mallable. OOC communication in regards to these topics is just a simple matter of respect of another's creation in my mind.

I am a player whose characters require IC motivation to be somewhere or attend something. If I do not have this it's extremely difficult for me to push them to do it OOCly. I am more comfortable with more lore bendy situations in the hands of a writer I know is capable and talented enough to go somewhere with it. I am very wary of lorebreaking and will not hesitate to remove or retcon my characters from lore breaking situations that clash with how they see the world or Eorzea.

Madison's feelings are not mine. IC/OOC separation yada yada. Actions happening between characters are, in no way, reflective of actions between players.

I have a quirky and brash sense of humor. I enjoy sushi, doughnuts and pop punk from the early 2000's. Les RP! \o/
