Yeah, though I’m not entirely convinced everything is back to normal just yet. We’ll see.
Sheet is almost done. Just waiting on Ink to expand a bit on how the terms/semesters work, and then I'll be able to finish up the last bit of the backstory alongside the talents section.
Edit: Finished it anyway. Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I know Ink said that the countries' names might be changed in the future.Madeline Kingston

AppearanceTo say Madeline holds herself like a refined upper-class lady would be telling a blunt lie. Nothing of the sort is posh in regards to Madeline's appearance. Whilst Madeline stands a feminine five foot three and her weight of similar womanly fit, she could easily pass herself off as a youthful boy were it not for a few key differences. Nonetheless, despite what makes her stand out as a woman, Madeline has no attentiveness in actually acting as such, earning the contempt and ire of several haughty women born into aristocratic society. For instance, her hair is coarse and short like a boy's, and Madeline would rather see herself dead than in a dress.
Background“What a splendid little war!”
Born into the war-torn ashes of a new era, Madeline was set to be the future of the Kingston family. Her father, a prominent politician, had made considerable investments to further the war effort, and with victory, Madeline's family were able to solidify their place in the higher ups of society. From birth, Madeline had been spoiled by this newfound wealth and power; her parents considering their daughter to be the light of their life. From expensive European sweets to the fanciest toys to staff ready to attend her every need and want--Madeline had it all, and even more some.
That was until Madeline's parents seemingly vanished from her life, swept away by the allure of corruption of political influence. Madeline no longer saw her father as often as she did, and her mother disappeared with the grandeur of country clubs and balls. Without guidance to set her on the right path, Madeline began to forge her own. The early days of the 20ᵀᴴ century captivated a young Madeline, who soon found herself hanging with boys, listening to inadmissible music, and so on and so forth. Just like before, Madeline did as she wanted, yet unaware of the consequences that would come.
Her father had found out what Madeline had become. To him, Madeline was no longer the shining gem he raised her to be, but rather a foolish girl--a tomboy who so easily frolicked with boys. More importantly, her father couldn't risk Madeline being a stain on his career; his mind considering what leverage his opponents could use against him if he allowed Madeline to persist her unladylike doings. And so, her father made a fateful decision, thereby "abandoning" (as Madeline phrases it) her every year abroad in hopes that the refined tastes of the academy might rub off on her once again.

Additional InformationLike for most New Columbians, the flames of war are still settling within Madeline. Ingrained with the feverish passion that brought fury onto the Toulousians, Madeline holds a high disregard for anyone from or affiliated with the Kingdom of Toulouse.
