Appearance

Body
Madeline has a slender physique, with long gangly limbs like Jack Skellington. She is also shockingly pale; her skin is barely a shade darker than paper.

Her eyes are an intense green, and a spark of mischief is always present within them
Hair
Madeline has long black hair that looks like it has never even seen a brush
Clothes

Other
The way Madeline moves is almost paradoxical: chaotic yet graceful. She might look like she's teetering and on the edge of falling over, but it'd also look strangely choreographed.

Personality

Adventurous: Madeline is positively obsessed with calls-to-adventure - or 'plot threads' as she calls them. If anyone asks her to do something, even if it's just as simple as going to the store to buy something for them, she will almost certainly accept and immediately move to complete the task. The more dangerous, the better - in her eyes, at least. She'd need a very good reason not to go through with a request.

Enigmatic: Madeline can be very strange, to the point of unsettling most people who speak to her - no one can ever be sure just what's going on in her head. She frequently says the most outlandish things that are somehow completely true due to her inability to lie. Moreover, Madeline seems to be immune to fear and rarely displays the right emotions in situations. Even in the face of mortal danger, she'll take it on with a laugh.

Excitable: Madeline is a ball of energy, always eager and animated. Her enthusiasm is infectious, turning even ordinary moments into lively events. Without someone to reign in her exuberance, Madeline will often get herself into trouble. She also has a flair for the dramatic - 'understatement' is not a word in her vocabulary.


Additional Information
Maternal: Madeline has a strong maternal instinct when it comes to children and she will always go above and beyond to aid a child in need.​

Scatterbrained: Madeline has a very scattered thought process and she'll often start one train of thought and end up with a new one with no clear through line.​

Polite: Madeline is generally exceedingly polite to everyone she meets, to the point she doesn't swear and admonishes anyone who does in her presence.​

Abilities

Ability Format
Standard Traits, Spellcasting

Spellcasting
Theme: Funhouse - Madeline can create funhouse-style effects via warping reality. Such changes are always temporary and limited to interiors. Minor effects could include distorting a regular mirror into a funhouse mirror, and major effects could involve warping a regular home into a non-euclidean maze.

Core Advantage
Mad Mummery: Madeline can create temporary invisible 'constructs' by believing in them hard enough and miming an action that has something to do with what she is trying to create. For example, miming the action of swinging a bat creates an invisible bat in her hand, or miming the action of climbing a ladder will result in Madeline climbing through the air on the invisible rungs. These constructs, although invisible, behave like one would expect - with the exception that they don't necessarily have to obey the laws of gravity. Other people can only interact with these constructs if Madeline allows them to.

Limits:
- Madeline is limited to creating something she can easily visualize and focus on, so she can't make things that are too large or have too many moving parts, such as a car or a bike.
- Madeline's creations can't have the properties of specific materials, such as a created knife being made of silver for the purposes of exploiting someone's weakness.

History

Date of Birth
January 1st
Place of Birth
The Forevermore Shore, an alternate world
Madeline Seraphina Primrose Octavia Esmerelda Pryde, the seventeenth was born in an alternate reality called The Forevermore Shore, where time as a concept doesn't exist and things like the laws of physics are treated like mere suggestions. No matter how far away you walk in The Forevermore Shore, you will always be a 10-minute stroll away from the ocean; everything that exists in this reality is next to a beautiful blue ocean that stretches for infinity. You're never more than 10 minutes away from anywhere in this reality, in fact, due to the weird space-time warping effect that exists across reality there. Entire neighborhoods distort and change based on the needs of where a stroller needs to get to.

The residents of The Forevermore Shore are technically humans, but their time in the Shore has changed them in several ways. For one, no one ages once they reach their physical prime, and its ability to resize itself means overpopulation will never become an issue. The residents also have several weird traditions; like people having overly long names to differentiate themselves, and siblings having numbers at the end of their name to make the order they were born in more clear. Madeline, for example. was the seventeenth sibling to be born.

Madeline was born into a loving family with 25 other siblings. She lived a charmed life where she never hurt for anything - no one does in the Shore - and during her adolescent years, it was discovered she was a prodigy in various magics. She was quickly snatched up by several grandmasters and apprenticed under them for a long time, learning and improving her abilities all the while.

However, everything came to a calamitous end when The Fourth War of The Forevermore Shore broke out. Madeline left her teachers and returned home to defend it - nobody could die in the Forevermore Shore so she wasn't worried about her family. Doing so, though, would prove to be her end. The magic of the Shore extracts a toll and, whilst fighting off a pack of invading Key Wolves, Madeline 'went lucid' and disappeared from reality. Usually, this would be it for a practitioner but, in some kind of cosmic fluke, Madeline fell through the cracks of reality and landed in a completely separate world by the name of Earth. More specifically, a small town called Polaris Pass.
