Physical Description: Madanee is fairly average in height, standing at 5'6. Her physique is thicker than average thanks to her love of food and drink but she wears it with confidence. Her wavy hair is generally styled to fall perfectly around her face and down her shoulders, light brown locks occasionally pulled back in a tail when she's getting down to business and needs it out of the way. She has fair skin and blue eyes that are often outlined with kohl. She does like to look her best and she's always got a bit of color on her cheeks and lips when out in public. Her attire is the latest fashion and generally bright, bold colors.
Personality: What Madanee wants, Madanee gets. Not in that 'daddy, buy me North Korea' way, but in the 'put in the work, get the reward' way. She has no problem waking up at the break of dawn and going until the sun has set if it means getting her closer to her goal. Granted, Madanee doesn't particularly enjoy getting sweaty or dirty and she'll avoid that at all costs, but she's still a hard worker. Her work is less physical, more mental and she likes to keep it that way. She would just prefer other people to do the things that might cause pain or stain her favorite scarf. Thankfully for her, both her confidence and her intelligence lend themselves to seeing that she doesn't have to do much dirty work. Someone needs to hold the blueprints while others build the house, right? Even though she's a woman she has no qualms telling men around Midling what to do when her father sets her to small tasks and she's quick to solve problems that might arise. Her education from her father has taught her everything she needs to know and she's still learning more from him, gaining knowledge every day and experiencing different ways to see that Midling runs as smoothly as it should. While she doesn't have any Hall training in a particular Craft, Madanee is a bit of a jack of all trades thanks to learning on the job.
It was mentioned 'what Madanee wants, Madanee gets', and while it's true that it's not meant in a materialistic way, it certainly is meant as a negative as well as a positive. Madanee is so focused on what she wants and what her goals are that she rarely cares about what others around her might want or need, or if her own desires and goals step on others to achieve what she wants. This isn't done ignorantly, either. A choice could be put before Madanee that shows herself succeeding while others fail and she'll still pick in favor of herself. Her confidence is admirable but sometimes it swings wildly into the realm of cockiness or overconfidence. She's still young and has a lot to learn though she'd never admit to that. She'll go into situations far over her head with the swagger of someone whose been through things ten times worse and will fail miserably. Madanee will deny her failure to the point that she doesn't learn from her mistakes the first or even second time, and often it takes her father talking to her for her to understand where she went wrong. Finally, Madanee loves the finer things in life a bit too much. She enjoys good food and drink, fine clothing, jewelry, handsome boys, and the money to have all these things. The life of a Holder isn't particularly fancy and while she's one of the better off people in Midling, she doesn't have an endless supply of Marks to throw at all of these things. She understands the concept of saving and spending wisely but she's not the Holder now so she can spend her Marks as she sees fit!
Positive Trait List Driven, confident, intelligent.
Negative Trait List Self-absorbed, cocky, hedonistic.
History: Madanee was born in Midling Hold to the Holder and his wife, the first of two children between the pair. She grew up at her father's side, watching him in his duties as Holder of Midling and learning from him. While it was expected that her younger brother would follow in his father's footsteps and become Holder, Madanee enjoyed learning what went into running a minor hold more than the idea of being married off to some random person to create political ties between different families or even other holds. She liked the idea of being in charge, of telling other people what to do, of the respect the position of Holder demanded, as well as the responsibility that went with it all. Madanee knew she could do it if given the chance and she knew her father trusted her to do a good job, but tradition was hard to go against. With her brother being only a few Turns younger than she, Madanee knew she'd have to be beyond perfect if the title were to be passed to her.
As she grew older, Madanee's mother tried harder to groom her for the disappointment of not being chosen as Holder and for the possibility of being married off. Madanee was intent on not leaving Midling until her father picked an heir, so while she humored her mother and worked on skills that would make her more enticing to a potential husband - cooking, cleaning, mending, housework - she continued to work with her father on things demanded of a Holder - diplomacy, politics, problem solving - so she wouldn't be looked over in favor of her brother. She was given a rather insightful look to just how hard a Holder worked when Thread returned. Her father had never been so busy, both in keeping in touch with High Reaches Hold and taking care of those living in his own Hold. Thankfully the dragons of High Reaches Weyr had not been far off and had protected them well. Things changed after that day, Madanee had noticed. Her life before Thread had been fairly easy going and simple despite her desire to become Holder. Now it was tinged with worry, always looking up at the sky, wondering if this would be the time the dragons and their riders missed a sizeable chunk of Thread and it destroyed all of Midling.
A rather fantastic surprise came less than a Turn later. One of the dragons from High Reaches and his rider came to pay Midling a visit and had taken Madanee's brother with him when they'd left. He had been Searched and taken back to High Reaches as a Candidate. Madanee had been appropriately happy for her brother, and as he was taken away that false joy turned into delighted glee. Her main competition was removed...for now...from the running of Holder. Her brother could be gone for Turns and Turns or for good and it would force her father to look at her seriously as the next heir. Madanee put aside her more 'ladylike' studies to focus completely on becoming her father's shadow, learning everything she could from him to prove that she was the best candidate for the title.
Turns have passed since her brother was Searched and every time a clutch is laid at High Reaches, Madanee and her father go to watch and see if he's selected by a dragon. So far he hasn't been but Madanee hopes each time that he is. For her own sake, of course. She could care less about her brother actually being a dragon rider. Sure, it's a grand honor, but she's far more concerned about her own future as Holder.
Other: Midling Hold is under the jurisdiction of High Reaches Hold. Madanee's father, mother, and brother are currently NPCs but I'm more than happy with them being made into PCs (especially her brother. Sibling DRAMA).
