[personality]
Madison is a quiet person in general as well as someone who can be sweet to people even if they aren’t something she imagined. Along with being a quiet type, she has a bit of self-esteem issue involving questioning her role within her ranger team and sometimes if she matters to them or not. Despite this, she is also a determined person and wants to protect her friends.
Maddie is very quiet compared to her ranger teammates like her much louder sister Vida, who usually tells it like it is no matter what the consequences. She likes to watch from the sidelines and usually has her video camera and records everything that goes on around her. Even when she’s behind the lens, Maddie is cheering her friends on as they go about their lives and sounds outgoing when she speaks to them. It’s only shown until later that the camera is a way for her to express her feelings even when she doesn’t say what’s on her mind. Along with being quiet, she is a little shy when opening up to new people: while storming off after a fight with the team’s red ranger, Madison meets a group of boys tossing a football around but argues with herself if she should go up and say hello.
Madison is also someone who ends up following people’s lead rather than going on her own; when a man asks the townspeople to help find his brother in the woods, Madison agrees to go only because Vida had spoken up earlier and she was worried about her sister. Because of this, she calls herself the ‘sister with common sense’ because she actually thinks before she acts unlike Vida as mentioned in the above example.
Madison has a bit of a self esteem issue regarding her worth on the team. A couple times throughout, she questions to two of her friends on what she had done since becoming a power ranger. The belief is that she was looked over compared to the others in gaining weapons (the boys can change their staffs into weapons such as a crossbow, a sword, and an ax and Vida can grow wings from hers) and spell codes along with that the boys usually used the upgrades. There was also an incident when the rangers were doing a trusting exercise where she was blind folded and had to fall so her friends can catch her: when their friend Claire comes up to them with a baby dragon, they leave Madison to fall and pay attention to the beast. Needless to say, Maddie was miffed about it. Despite this setback, Madison was able to show that she was useful: She frees their soon-to-be mentor and teacher from a twenty year old curse that rendered him as a frog as well as the only one who managed to defeat one of the Ten Terrors, Magma, with ease thanks to her element being water. Another example is during ‘Ranger Down’ in which the other rangers are unable to fight and Maddie faces the monster called Screamer alone and manages to hold her at bay until help arrives in the form of her mentor Solaris Knight. But it is her who finishes the beast by using her mentor’s weapon. She maybe someone who doubts her capabilities but she’s a determined person who is willing to never give up and doesn’t back down from a fight.
Despite Madison’s shyness, she is the one who is the most opened minded and is willing to help others. It’s Maddie who first talks to Nick and welcomes him to town and she is the one who convinces the feline genie Jenji to come back after the group made him feel unwelcomed when they pay more attention to the baby dragon, Fire Heart than to him.
Madison is also shown to be the ranger who likes to study rather than play. When their first mentor tells them to stop flying around in their new Racers and that it was time to study spells, she was the only one excited for it. And her studying pays off: Madison is shown to be the most adaptive with her magic. Some examples include being the first ranger to use theirs outside of combat, using a simple charm to help clean up the record store, making the green ranger’s head get twice as big during the spell lesson, and charming a cd from her hand to her sister’s turntables in order to get Vida’s attention.
It’s shown in rarity, but Madison can get angry with something and will speak on it but it shows on two occasions and both involve the same person. During the final battle with the Master, the red ranger Nick says that he wants to give up and let him take over the world. The only person who voiced their opinion was Madison, saying that, in a nutshell, that giving up was crap. Earlier, Nick accuses Madison of ’hiding behind her camera’ so she wouldn’t get close to anyone and she ends up storming out. It’s the only two times we see Maddie in anger over something other than the villains they were fighting.
[orientation] It’s hinted in canon that Madison likes men. There is hints in the beginning and end of the season that she likes Nick such as talking to him about staying in the town of Briarwood and reasons for him to return when he goes to visit his adoptive family: one of the reasons she told him was her. So it’s safe to say that Madison’s orientation is heterosexual.
[appearance] Right here
[wish] To be a stronger person and not depend on others to fight for her both physically and mentally.
[requested house] Youfuu House
[misc notes] Madison is a power ranger and in training as a witch, mostly on the element of water. Because of her magic, she would need a canceller like the jade bracelet. Because of the nature of her wish, the player would like to see Madison focus less on her magic and more on physical skills. The only possession of note that she would have is her Mystic Morpher cellphone but it will be useless in Ukiyo, only keeping it as something from her home.
Also, Madison’s tattoo will be on her right hip and will not be cursed.
SAMPLES
[Sample 1:Network Post]
[The camera turns on and focuses on a young woman who is sitting down and staring at a mirror. Her hair is done up in the tradition bun style and she is wearing a odd gown from the Victorian era, which looked like it was giving her trouble because she was sitting in an awkward position. She lightly touches her cheek and looks awed by her reflection.]
Is this…really me? [She sounds shocked when she speaks and looks to the child servant in the room with her. They give an approving nod before speaking to her quietly and scampering out of the room.] This kind of thing isn’t what I’m used to at all. I’ve never been much of a looker compared to other people. I do look like a different person though…I look…pretty. [She then touches her hair as if the entire look was just a dream and looks away from the mirror.]
Don’t get vain Madison, you’ll get a big head. Besides, that’s Xander’s job to act like that. [It’s then that she notices the camera and how it’s been recording her the entire time. Her face shows genuine shock and then frowns.]
H-how long has that thing been on?! Oh great, I just made a fool of myself!
[She then walks over and with that, the feed turns off.]
[Sample 2:Prose Log]
‘I don’t smell bad, do I?’
That was Madison’s first thought as she walked down the narrow street; when she walked past a few locals, they turned their noses up at her and stormed off like she had some kind of plague. Her first thought was to sniff her hand to make sure, only to remember that she had taken a bath earlier and sniffing her hand in a crowded street was going to turn away more people. The young woman sighed and tugged on the collar of her dress, feeling the garment tighten due to her nervousness. It was then that she looked down at herself then looked at her surroundings: most of the people were wearing kimono or yukata, looking more Japanese to fit in with the setting of Ukiyo. She on the other hand was wearing a blue dress that covered every part of her body except her hands and a tiny portion of her neck.
“Of course.” she muttered bitterly. “I look like a tourist rather than someone living here.”
She then looked at her hands and clenched them tightly, closing her eyes and breathing deeply. ‘This would be better if someone came with me.’ she thought and sighed. “I really didn’t expect anyone to come. They do have lives here that matter more than me.”
As she scurried through the crowd of people and stopped at the entrance to a bath house, she looked at the people again and sighed. It felt like it was going to be a long time before her wish could be granted…and that’s when it hit her like a ton of bricks: she had wished to become strong so she could stand on her own two feet and defend herself but was cowering beside a bath house door because people gave her funny looks.
‘I’m going to get stronger.’ Madison thought to herself as she straightened out her dress. ‘It won’t happen unless I start working for it and not just by working for the house, but for me.’
With that thought in mind, the young woman stood up straight with her chin held high and walked back in with the crowd. She was going to be confident in her mind and take that first step towards her wish being granted.
