Overview
Alias(es):
Janet
Real Name:
Yeah, Right
Apparent Age:
Late twenties
Concept:
Flair Bartender with Hookups; Camarilla Idealist
Physical description:
Madison stands just above five feet tall, with a small but wiry frame. Her mid-length dark hair is usually pulled back into a loose ponytail, and on her own time she typically dresses in tight, revealing tops, fitted jeans, and black steel-toed boots. She dresses more formally at gatherings since taking the throne, but she still almost always sports her trademark red leather jacket with a gold metal owl pendant hanging from one shoulder. She's rarely seen without earbuds in. When she smiles it's more of a smirk that rarely touches her intense and somewhat haunted blue eyes. Her pale skin and cold demeanor suggest that her beast is close to the surface.

Quotes
By Madison:
- "Yeah, so we're in a steaming pile of political shit. I get that. All I'm saying is how about we walk out of here with a plan once we're done bitching about it?" - Madison's first Clan meeting
- "Look. Our sires chose us for their own reasons. If we live up to our potential then we honor the ones who gave us the gift. If we do it in our own way, on our own terms and by our own merits, maybe it'll even mean something." - advice to a fellow neonate
- "All anybody can tell me is that I'll get used to it. I don't WANT to get used to it. This shit SHOULD piss me off. If it's out there then I'm glad I know about it and of COURSE I'm going to fight it - but that doesn't mean I have to, or even should, accept it." - reflections on other things that go bump in the night
- "They tell you not everybody survives the Accounting. That not everybody is strong enough, not everybody is cut out for this. The ones who get bit and then don't make the cut are cautionary tales at best. Give me evil mages and elder gods and demon cats and all the rest - sure, okay. But give me one angry, lost, lonely kid who just doesn't want to do it anymore...DAMNIT! The world shouldn't be so fucked up that good people just lay down and die! So, I guess I'm going to keep fighting, because what the fuck else am I going to do?" - grieving for a fellow neonate who ended his own unlife
- "What higher power do I place my faith in, to get me through the night? Well, I have faith that I make a mean Long Island Iced Tea." - when asked about her religious beliefs
- "Bull shit. You don't measure someone's worth by how long they exist, when all they do is sit on Elysium while BETTER people go out and die for them. You do it for them, sure, but you honor the fallen and you respect the survivors." - on duty
- Deputy: "Sheriff Langley, perhaps we can subdue her without knocking her out? I mean she's pregnant." - Madison: "Bro, her face ain't pregnant!" - A typical night as Sheriff
- "We've been grieving. And plotting. And venting. And scheming. And debating. And arguing. And asking questions that may or may not have answers we can find. And it's been loud and messy, but for what it's worth, it's been damned encouraging. So no, I don't think we'll be shutting up any time soon. Brujah who step up are getting picked off, and a lot of us in here are their proteges and childer and allies. We're not going to stand for it anymore." - Madison hosts a rant
- "When you tell me you care about something, that you're going to take a stand with me, you don't fucking bail as soon as things get hard. What do I want from you? I want you to back up your words with actions. That's what I expect from people I respect." - Madison arguing with an ally
- "In a perfect world, every Kindred who puts the stability of this domain over their personal agenda would be my ally. This isn't a perfect world, this domain is dangerous, and we are selfish creatures, but we can still make a stand. So will you stand beside me?" - forging political alliances
- "I gender identify as Brujah." - in response to someone's awkward advances
- "Remember how I said in this domain you learn or die? Welcome to the deep end, kid. Sink or swim. If you need anything, just survive long enough to ask."- said to a new resident
- "How have I made it this far in only a year? I look around for the Kindred I fought beside when we were all just getting started, and then I remember - I'm the one that survived." - at Glitter and Gloom
- "I swear fealty unto you, Sovereign Imperial Prince Kelly Half-Blood. Your command is my desire, and your request my desire.May my service always please you, and may my sight grow dark if it does not. As the tides to the moon, my will to yours, my liege." - Marquis Oath of Fealty
- "Yeah. Okay."
About Madison:
- "I think you're trying to be a good person. I also think you're in over your head, and so you're forgetting that lately. In the meantime, though, keep yelling - it actually helps me think more clearly." - John Q. Public
- "In a way, my suspicions about you are like a compliment. You're pretty much the perfect Brujah. It's too good to be true." - Eddie Dervish
- "I know we just met and all, and I get that I'm pissing you off...but I just can't shake this vibe like you've dealt with worse tonight. This week. This month. So, I guess you don't have time for my bull shit, then." - Giovanni con man, upon meeting Madison
- "Who's that? She is...forceful." - Visiting dignitary to the Prince, five minutes after observing Madison
- "Did you just select who's coming on this mission based on which of us are morally capable of killing in cold blood? I - I think I just fell in love with you." - boot squad member
- "So, you guys committed a faux pas in her bar. And maybe it could've been handled better, but, well...she's a Brujah. And a Langley. So there's that. I mean really, what did you expect to happen?" - Jayden Black to the local Anarchs
- "Watching Madison literally bring the roof down on our enemies while giving them a boot stomp in perfect timing to the well laid out plans of Slash as you all came in from the air like the 101st Airborne Division, the SWAT like team from the rear quietly surrounding the exits and the BAMF Group charging in literally on fire as we drove through the front door, without a life on our side lost, should be the new mental definition of Brujah." - Cleveland Brujah
- "No. FUCK that. I have seen too many neonates thrown into the meat grinder by their Elders in the name of duty. I'm not going to let that happen to you." - Slash
- "I am proud. I see much in you, and know that you are going to be a great leader of our Clan someday....what I really see, and what I really want to continue to see, is the future of our Clan." - Anya
- "As the sea to the river, as the tree to the seed, as the mountain to the stone, so do I now recognize you to me. From this day forward, I take you as my vassal. I pledge to you glory and riches. I pledge to honor your service as it deserves, and to reward loyalty in kind. As the moon to the seas below, my will to yours." - Prince Kelly accepts Madison's oath of fealty
- "Ah, Madison. The audacity of youth combined with the zeal of a missionary. You amuse and amaze me at every turn....I hope you keep that passion and near unique ability to focus it on things that actually can make a difference. I truly do. It must be hard." - Rook
