IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Considering the amount of fighting Maddison has experienced as a result of the nature of her job, her body shows surprisingly little evidence of this. She seems to be remarkably devoid of scars or bruises- if she even has any, they would be hidden underneath whatever clothes or armour she was wearing at the moment. Very few people, if any, know what she looks like underneath, and she doesn't exactly have plans to be changing that any time soon.

Her movements in the midst of battle are swift and graceful, seemingly unhindered by the burden of her armour. Perhaps her ability to effortlessly control the flow of her attacks and counters is what has allowed her to remain relatively unscathed.

While her training and experience as both a Knight of the White Lily and a Sentinel has left Maddison rather well built, the rest of her attributes are rather typical for a Connlaothian. She has long red hair (perhaps a little longer than it should be, considering what her job is) and curious green eyes.

Personality
Maddison suffers from a lot of inner conflict, much of it involving the issues responsible for the civil war that plagues her country. Being raised a Connlaothian and later as a Knight of the White Lily, she has a few reservations about the usage of magic. While she does believe that it is capable of causing wide-scale destruction, she also thinks that it could be used for good. Either way, she doesn't blame mages for being capable of using magic, but she is cautious of what they might be capable of- even if she doesn't have much reason to, considering that her abilities make her immune to most of it. This can make her rather tense around the mages that she sometimes works alongside.

Although she was raised to be very much religious due to her Adharaism, her inner turmoils have certainly shaken her faith over the years. She'll always be cautious around magic, but she could never bring herself to harm a magic user who wasn't hurting anyone- her opinion is that the needs of the people should come before her own reservations and the teachings of her faith. It doesn't help much that, despite her faltering faith, her Adharaism has remained seemingly unchanged. Surely if Ansgar was displeased with her stance on magic, he could simply strip her of that ability, right? At the very least, she doesn't believe in Ansgar in quite the same way that many other Connlaothians might.

She may no longer be a White Lily, but the values instilled in her have led her to remain celibate. The thought of getting too attached to someone is a frightening one for her- it's far too easy for someone to fall in battle, and even if she did end up falling for someone, she'd hardly know how to express those feelings properly. That being said, she can't help but feel at least a bit curious of what that might be like, and part of her longs to feel that kind of connection with someone.

Despite her inner conflicts, Maddison tries not to let her past influence her actions and attitudes in the present. She does what she can to inspire people with the image of a reliable leader- any misgivings or vulnerabilities are shoved deep down where hopefully none of her onlookers will find them. After all, she can't very well hope to lead people who have no faith in her to begin with.

Magic/Abilities
Maddison possesses the rare form of Mordecaism known as Adharaism, which surrounds her with a field that negates any magic or psionic abilities within it. Her particular field is on the smaller side, just enough to cover herself and perhaps a couple others if they were standing very close by. She also has extensive training in the use of polearms, as well as an understanding of military tactics. It is not uncommon to find her fighting alongside those she commands, being very capable at cutting through opponents with her glaive.

Relationships
Members of the Red Legion, mostly. Her relationship with her parents has become more strained over the years, and contact with them has recently slowed to a halt.

History
Maddison's ability to negate magic was discovered at a very early age, and the Church subsequently took great interest in her. They started training her how to fight as soon as she was strong enough to hold a weapon, while also educating her in several other areas. She showed plenty of potential both in combat and in tactics, so it was no surprise when she was eventually recruited into the Knights of the White Lily. However, over a few years of service, her superiors began to suspect that she might not be entirely loyal to the cause. In a test of loyalty, she was ordered to perform an execution on a mage who had been found guilty of using their magic. When she refused to do so, she was punished for her insubordination, and went missing a few days later- she'd run away without a word, taking almost nothing with her aside from her weapon.

Being now homeless and unemployed, Maddison immediately began searching for some sort of income, which she got in the form of mercenary work. It was during this time that she came across another mercenary by the name of Roland Harker, and along with several others, they created the company that would eventually become the Red Legion. She still works with them, now serving as one of four Sentinels within the legion.
