@valianc: Send me a 🤝 for our characters to celebrate Galentine’s Day together.
“I didn’t get anything for you. --But I guess since James Potter sacrificed a romantic evening to spend it with me, I can share my ‘self pity’ pizza with him, huh?” A sigh follows as she reaches for the heart shaped box of chocolates. It was true she’d, purposefully, put herself at the tail end of everyone's plans because being alone was just... the way things were meant to be. Her brother would have scolded her for doing that to herself but -- as per usual, things didn’t go according to plan ( not that she was particularly disappointed ). James was the most persistent out of her roommates, so of course she should have expected ‘Galentine’s Day’. “--Which one do you think this one is? Orange or Strawberry?”
36. Do you prefer spending time in large groups or small, intimate ones?
In the past Maddie would have said both. Of course, after the ‘incident’ she doesn’t really tend to hang out with many people. She has her roommates and though she tries to keep her distance she can’t help staying with them because she adores them all.
where: the white wyvern
when: january 1, 2024, 3:00pm
who: open
This lockdown was more than a little inconvenient, but never let it be said Mei allowed inconveniences to keep her from her work. And it wasn’t bad for business—-as she left the one of the private parlors that adjoined the main bar of the Wyvern, she took note that it was much busier than a typical weekday at 3pm. She didn’t often frequent the public areas of the Wyvern, but the occasional glimpse of her allowed people to remember who was in charge.
She approached the bar when suddenly one of the wixen at her side—-a bodyguard in all but name—stepped in front of her. She wasn’t sure if the person they’d blocked from her view had meant to approach her, or had simply had the misfortune to not know any better than to walk in her way, but she waved the guard back anyway, curious. “Did we have an appointment?”
Maddie let her eyes drift up to the taller and bigger wizard in front of her that was purposely blocking her path. It wasn’t weird for her to visit the Wyvern. She was all about helping out fellow werewolves and often provided free ( when she could ) wolfsbane potions whereas st. mungos made it very difficult to procure and potion shops over charged. Neutral ground, she figured that is why they stayed in a place like this. However, she hadn’t bargained running into the owner of the establishment.
She shifted her bag on her shoulder which made the bodyguard shift as well. “Uhm, I came to see someone who....needs something from me.” Oof, that didn’t sound good. She found it hard to keep eye contact with the woman in front of her, feeling a little too ‘exposed’ to be confident or comfortable. “I mean they sent for health potions.” Health potions was close enough, she guessed. Maddie motioned to her bag. “I can’t seem to find them...and I can’t seem to leave either so..”

III. CHARACTER SUMMARY
-- Maddie is, in general, known for her kind disposition and effortless ability to make friends with just about anyone. she isn’t really combative but tends to air her opinions about matters in a way that comes off more constructive than harmful. she tends to have a level head about everything that doesn’t involve her-- like she can easily solve other people’s problems but fails to solve her own.
-- Before the werewolf attack, Maddie was bright, open and talkative. She was more naive than anything else, always expecting the best out of everyone and never really thought about people having less than honorable motives to things. she dated stupidly-- maybe a little recklessly mostly to wearing her heart on her sleeve. she often got hurt by assuming everyone had the same intentions as her.
-- then the werewolf attack happened and she flipped a 180. due to an invite out during a full moon, she foolishly went out to meet her friend only to run right into Greyback himself. the attack was brutal and shook her enough that she could no longer see the good in others as she once had. her sunny disposition turned stormy -- she stopped talking, she withdrew, pulled away from her friends because she couldn’t deal with what had happened and what she’d become.
-- for a long time she would struggle with coming to terms with being a werewolf now. and honestly, though she had come to a mild contentment - neutral - about it she still sees herself as a monster. as something that can only hurt others. though now, out of school, she’s found it hard to be by herself. so selfishly ( at least she thinks it’s selfish ) she’s decided to room with a group of friends from school to help cull that loneliness she tends to sink into. she still tries to keep her distant...more so for them...just in case something happens.
-- she keeps the whole werewolf thing a tightly locked secret, it’s possible that only her parents know ...mostly because she was attacked underage and the hospital would have had to have permission from her guardians. she wouldn’t tell anyone that she was a werewolf on her own accord unless they were in danger..
-- [ BRIEF MENTION OF PARENTAL DEATH TW ] family wise. nothing is known about her birth family just that they were living in italy at the time of their untimely ends. her adoptive parents were forthcoming about her not being biologically theirs and maddie never pressed further for information. she was curious but having no names to connect with she couldn’t possibly find anything out -- so she gave up trying to find out anything. She loved her parents and her siblings-- and she was content with the life she had anyways.
-- on the topic of war, maddie is most definitely fighting for the order. there are manyt imes that she wished that everything would stay quiet...no progress or that the war didn’t exist at all but alas you can’t always get what you want. she does take part in the order and donates a lot of potion ingredients and potions to the order when she can.
She looks sad. She looks angry. She looks different from everyone else I know—she cannot put on that happy face others wear when they know they are being watched. She doesn’t put on a face for me, which makes me trust her somehow.
