He's always been an energetic one, full of life and personality, almost to a fault. The guy is, by nature, extremely impulsive, both in the things he does and the things he says. As far as he's concerned, life is just too short to sit around let shit just happen - it's all about the now, and how you handle the people and things that surround you. If he likes something, chances are he'll let you know it, and if he doesn't, well he's never been shy about voicing his opinion in that matter as well. Try as he might, he's never really had the best poker face in the world, and it tends to give him away more than not. On a regular basis, Madison is of the happy go lucky mindset, often stating that no one should take life too seriously because, in the end, everyone ends up in the same place - even if he doesn’t really believe what he's preaching sometimes. More often than not, he can be seen with a smile on his face and he's always quick to crack a joke or make a remark. He’s never uncomfortable; in fact, his boldness often borders on brash and crosses into downright crude, thanks to his lack of a filter. If it's on his mind, it's out of his mouth. But he's an expert at charm, so it's easy enough for him to cover up these occasional lapses - nothing a smirk and a few pretty words can't clear up, right? [b] MISCELLANEOUS:[/b] - He used to grow and sell his very own strain of marijuana.

Spirit:[/b] ◑/☠ “Look, I have a policy about [i]not[/i] talking shit about any student, so I won’t. But, honestly? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who hates Muggles as much as she does. That’s not really her fault, though. I’m not saying that she’s isn’t... [i]really fucking obnoxious[/i] sometimes, because she is. I’m saying that these pureblood elitists need to realise that they’re not the master race, and that they’re the same as everybody else. Obviously, the stigma still exists, and yeah, everyone knows about wizards now, but it’s gonna take more than a couple of years for people to accept it. Things change eventually, though, they always change.” [b]Rylan Amalia Keenan:[/b] ☺ “If I was a teenage girl, I’d be Rylan. ...Okay, that sounded creepy as all fuck so, ignore it. But when she talks, she cuts straight through the bullshit, and that’s a quality you don’t see very often these days. Also, she curses a lot. But, I usually let it slide, since it’d be kinda ironic if [i]I[/i] was the one who called her out on it, don’t you think?” [b]Salem Truitt[/b] ◑ “He’s a good kid, good kid. A little too serious sometimes, but he helps the less motivated students to get their together, so I’m not complaining. Wait, did I mention his accent? Because, oh my god, his accent. I hope this doesn’t sound weird, but that Cajun twang is like music to my ears.” [b]Nolan Parver:[/b] ☺ “An awesome student, though I’m not too sure about her talking to the plants. Mandrakes aren’t exactly reasonable, after all. Nolan’s pretty chill, albeit a bit naive. Wait, scratch that. [i]Really naive.[/i] Most of the time, she takes people’s words at face value and someone might take advantage of that. Of course, I’m just her Herbology teacher, but I still kinda feel obliged to look out for her, you know?” [b]Jayln Vance:[/b] ◑ “Kind of a lone wolf. I’ve seen how nervous he gets around people, like, how he starts spewing out awful puns and shit? And his anger management issues? I don’t know much about his background, but all I know is that he must’ve gone through a lot.” [b]Lamillia May Johnson:[/b] ◑ “I’m generally pretty lax with my students, but I actually sorta wish she’d work a little bit harder. Like, actually remembering the safety procedures for a Venomous Tentacula instead of immediately grabbing it would be a nice change. Coming from a non-magical family, you’d think she’d actually have more interest in lessons. I mean, it’s not like learning magic in magic school is a million times more exciting than algebra.” [b]Thomas Benjamin Grimm:[/b] ◑/☺ “I like him. A breath of fresh air in this place, to be honest. Takes things with a pinch of salt and doesn’t spend every second of every day stressing over trivial things. That being said, though, he also pays attention in class which is only an added bonus.” [b]Cliodhna Burns:[/b] ◑ “Smart girl, and actually interested in the curriculum. There’s not really much else I can say about her.” [b]Benjamin Teague:[/b] ◑ “He’s an old soul, this one. I don’t think anything he does is spontaneous. It’s like he always has a plan thought out beforehand. Kinda weird for someone his age, but kinda impressive, too.” [b]Morrigan Cassandra Brighthill:[/b] ◑ “A Pureblood who [i]isn’t[/i] an entitled bitch. Already, bonus points from me. From what I heard, she’s pretty rich too. I mean, it’s kind of hard not to notice, because she spends so much of it on her friends.” [b]Kwes Powers:[/b] ◑ “Hmm, Mr. Powers is pretty hard to read. He doesn’t really show any strong emotions. You’d think someone like him would be a loner, but he’s unusually social. His honesty and pessimism seem to put people off sometimes, though.” [b]Emmeline Lovelock:[/b] ☺ “What can I say? Little Emmy is a firecracker. I think she has twice as much energy as I do, and that’s saying something. She’s always doing something, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her stay completely still for five minutes. But that’s not at all a bad thing, as long as her energy is channeled appropriately, I think she has great potential. Anyway, she does pretty well in my class. More like all her classes, really. She always seems to find some alternative way of doing things, and I appreciate her innovation.” [b]Toby Kipling:[/b] ◑/☺ “Toby’s a nice kid. Too nice, maybe. I’ve noticed he never asks for help from anyone, and on the flipside, he’s only too happy to help anyone who needs it. He’s smart, but even Albert Einstein needed help. Don’t take my advice as gospel, but I think he could do with making sure he doesn't get shortchanged. Helping others is great and all, but sometimes you just gotta put your foot down.” [/list] [list][u][b]Staff[/b][/u] [b]Reuben Grayson:[/b] ◑/☺ “Reminds me of my dad. That's a compliment, by the way. My dad's a great guy. Anyway, getting back on point, who [i]doesn't[/i] love the Headmaster, you know? He's just an all-around saint. Actually, 'saint' might be a bit of an exaggeration but I've never seen the guy get mad over anything. Like, he does a pretty solid job of running Kingsridge, too. Sure, he can be kinda oblivious sometimes, but I think it only adds to that certain charm he has.” [b]Balthazar Casper Barnes:[/b] ☺/♥ “Well, Casper's a pretty cool guy; great at teaching, doesn't take any shit from anyone, and all that jazz. And, uh, it doesn't hurt that he's hotter than the surface of the sun. ...Fuck, did I just say that out loud? Whatever, judge all you want, but that's my opinion. Seriously, though. For someone a decade older than me, he's in a pretty solid condition. So much for keeping things professional, huh?” [b]Melissa Wallace:[/b] ☺/♥ “She’s great! A little kooky, I’ll admit, but that’s not always a bad thing. The compulsive lying thing is slightly off-putting too, but hey, everyone has their flaws. People don't give her enough credit, either. She's a good teacher, if you look past all the sexual innuendos. We go out for drinks on weekends, too. Although she usually seems more interested in picking up guys than drowning herself in pints of alcohol. Which is usually what I end up doing, but that’s besides the point. Anyway, I'd like to think we're good friends.” [b]Jaylen Beckley:[/b] ◑/☺ “Didn't like him much at first, honestly. Thought he was just gonna be another Pureblood supremacist. I mean, he kinda [i]is[/i] a little bit, but as long as you don't pick a fight with anyone non-magical at every turn, I'm fine with it. Jay's pretty strict with his students, but that's just his way of teaching. Like I said, having magic is a gift and some people need to realise that. Maybe it's just me, but I can definitely see where he's coming from.” [b]Madison James Cordell:[/b] ☺ “Yours truly.” [/list] [/hider]
