HISTORY:
She was born in the Ohio, USA to Edward and Selene Winchester on 2nd of May 1801 She was one of the youngest out of four. She had three siblings, two older brothers called Edward and Marcus and a younger sister Charlotte. Maddison was born in the 19th centaury where times were different and since she was born in the start of the century and her family was rich, she had to be the perfect as any child did in any age. During her childhood seen a lot because this was a time where everything had changed. Maddison and her sister were given lessons on how to be a real lady and do everything high society required of them. These were long and often painful as she would be in a bodice for the majority of her time in the public eye. These lessons would involve being taught how to read and write, as well as how to talk proper English and read Latin. Maddison of cause knew she was very privileged to have the chance to read and write, but she did not understand why she had to endure the pain required of wearing a bodice under her dress and having her hair pinned so tightly to her head when it was being styled.
In her teen years, Maddison was rebellious - basically not listening to anything her father would say and not being the young lady required her to be. This was because she hated what her father wanted her to do, the fact she would have to marry someone she did not love, it was politics and not for her own happiness. One day, she was out with her two best friends Leah and Daniel, the three of them were horse riding and it ended badly, her friends died, but she unknowingly saved herself from that accident. Not knowing what happened or how she survived. The day was any other day in which she was out in the local woods on her horse Dreamer, Daniel had challenged them to a race, he had taken off in front of them, Leah was not fair behind, Maddison was not confident in galloping so she stayed a distance behind them. Until she saw their horses rear up and she did not know why, but they were thrown from the horses and killed in front of her, they hit their heads on the rocks nearby. She had screamed for help, tears had been pouring down her face. The local victor had heard her shouts and came but it had been too late, her friends were dead. Maddison took it hard and did a huge turn around. She stopped staying out all night and she became the daughter her parents wanted. The rich child. This had changed her, in the way that she would stick to the rules and do as her parents asked of her.
At the age of twenty, she was betrothed to someone that she did not love, but this was an arranged marriage. In addition, one that would bring two powerful families together, this was what her time was like, and it happened, it was a common thing between wealthy families. Both of her brothers had already married and now had children at this point, and they had said that they were very content in their way of life. It had been her turn. Maddison first met her betrothed when she had been playing the piano for her family, singing the simple tune she had been taught, when he entered the room. Maddison had finished playing and she looked up to find him smiling. He asked for her to walk with him in the gardens. Maddison and George talked while they were in the gardens, he spoke that this was not how he wanted to wed, but that it was a must for the families, he said that he wanted someone who he could trust and maybe grow to love. They both sat down at the fountain, in which George gave Maddison a beautiful ring, and everything was set since the wedding had already been planned by her mother and sister.
The wedding had been a grand affair, with King George the Third attending the wedding itself as her father was a trusted adviser to the King himself. With many people in attendance, it was described that Maddison looked breathtaking and very much the blushing bride she should be. Over time, Maddison became friends with George Lennox who was twenty-nine. The man who she came to marry, but she never learnt to love him. It came to be more of a companionship. They had been best friends. Throughout their first year of marriage, Maddison fell pregnant and her husband was over the moon, he doted upon her every moment he was not working, and she enjoyed it when he read poetry to her in the gardens when it was a warm day. They lived at his manor situated in Yorkshire. Soon they had their first child. A girl named Ashley Natalia Lennox. This was not the outcome her husband or even their own family wanted. They had wanted a son to carry on the Lennox family name, as her husband was an only child. Maddison loved her daughter as much as she did if she had been her son, and her husband would coo over the darling bundle, that was named Ashley. Ashley had been raised by Maddison with the help of a hired nanny, this was because Maddison would have to attend several functions with her husband and was forbidden to bring along her daughter to such events. As Ashley neared her first birthday, Maddison had fallen ill from being out in the pouring rain when the carriage broke. Thinking she would not see her daughter on her birthday in fear of making her ill, she had cried, but George had comforted her and promised to have a private party to make it seem as if she would not miss a thing.
Two years after the birth of Ashley, Maddison fell pregnant once more and she had twins. A girl and a boy. George had taken to naming their son George after himself but gave him the middle name of Edward after her father who had passed away only a year before because of natural causes, this had been a sad time for Maddison when her father passed away as she had not been able to make it to say her goodbyes because of her own ill health at that time. Their daughter had been named Catherine Anne Lennox, in which was after George’s mother who had died in childbirth when giving birth to his sister that had survived. Therefore the children were known as George and Catherine, the Lennox Twins. Maddison was very much an ever growing presence in the lives of her children, teaching them to walk and talk as they grew older, she enjoyed this small family. Another two years passed after the birth of her twins, she gave birth to her final child, yet another daughter and George had allowed Maddison to name her. She was to be called Caitlyn Elizabeth Lennox. Their family became complete.
At the age of thirty-two, she had four children and she was a respected member of society. Her mother had passed away the year before, once more of natural causes from what she had been told. Her husband was forty-one, Ashley was now thirteen years old and very much a growing beauty, though she was a slight rebel as Maddison had been growing up, but this was not as bad. George Jr. and Catherine were very much the ideal children any parent could wish for, as they did as they were told. They were eleven years old and very bright children. Finally her youngest child - Caitlyn was nine years old and very bold and yet intelligent as her brother and sisters. They would often take picnics in the gardens and her husband would run after their children when they played hide and seek as Maddison sat on the blanket in amusement.
It all changed when she had been attacked by a mugger and left for dead, it was then Andrew changed her and she had been devastated that she could not see her children, but she was told it was for the best because after she killed four people as soon as she woke she knew she needed to get away. When Andrew kept proposing to her she turned him down three times before she finally agreed because she fell in love for the first time. Now everything had changed, she adopted beautiful children and she had a family she was proud of.

RP SAMPLE:Maddison or simply Maddie had been in this place for several years, and already she was still not used to it. There was something everywhere. It filled the hospital, the lake, the smiles in everyone, and the blood of its citizens. It was truly remarkable. She had never seen so much strangeness in her entire life. The day she became a vampire her entire world changed, everything she knew could have never prepared her for an immortal life.
Even now, as she walked the forest, she could see it here. It was not like the forests back home, growing in the shadow of the old countryside she lived in as a human. There was fountains that flowed clear and soothingly, flowers that followed her as she walked, turning their massive, multicoloured faces in her direction. It was the summer season, so the pair of loose black jeans and t-shirt was perfectly well suited for the day. Her coat hung loose and worn, covering her marred, pallid skin with practised ease. Her fingertips danced restlessly over the title of her book, attempting to find a solid place to sit that would not block he view.
Maddison settled on a simple bench in the shade of a tree, flowers surrounding her, moving towards her by instinct. A faint smile curled her pale pink lips, reaching a hand down to brush a fingertip along a silky petal of a magnolia. She cracked the book, almost towards the end already.
It was not the life she had planned for herself but it would do, her dark brown hair swayed in the wind.
Something’s never changed her life, she had a normal childhood growing up where her love for reading had developed and Maddison’s love for nature escalated which was why she was sat where she was in this current moment in time.
