User:Madelyne
Madelyne is an aging Atavian with the spirit of a Halfling. Aside from spending her rebellious years as a teenager in Tasur'ke, she has lived her entire life in the city of Cyrene where she has earned the rank of Lady twice over.
Shortly after her eighteenth birthday and graduation from Loom Island, Madelyne joined Ty Beirdd. The arts became the main focus of her life and, while accumulating a respectable amount of bardic and artisanal prizes, she progressed from student to leadership. On 14 Aeguary, 547 AF, Madelyne was elected the first female Provost of Aestheticism of Ty Beirdd, replacing the former leader Azzad Ravenstar.
When Ty Beirdd fell during Valnuary, 657 AF, Madelyne was selected as a founder of the Virtuosi, a new house of artists and craftspeople. Her first proctor, Corwin, returned during this time and she begged, pleaded, and whined for him to be her mentor, as she'd never had one before. Finally he agreed, noting that at her age he certainly couldn't do any more harm than life itself had already done, and promptly fell back into dormant sleep.
Upon completing all ten paths of study, a victory which took less than half a century to complete, to the shock of many of her fellow artists Madelyne quit the house and appealed to Certimene who inducted her into the Grand Merchant Collective. Under the tutelage of house leadership, she quickly gained full membership and, when the position was left open, served as Head Shopkeeper.
A lover of books and knowledge in general, Madelyne is librarian of both organisational and personal libraries across the continent, including the famed Lucretian Athenaeum. Her past titles include mortal Order Head for Lord Agatheis and Senator of Cyrene.
Never one to turn down a drink, Madelyne stunned her peers when she took first prize in the Year 700 drinking competition. She considers the prize, a drinking horn filled with darkbrew, among her most cherished of all possessions.
Madelyne's true claim to fame, moreso than any title or accomplishment, is her collection of loyal creatures, which fill well over half of any given room across the continent. In fact, she currently tops the Collections ranking, being the first mortal to possess every creature in the Minipets category. The most notorious member of her loyal following is Peabody, a shocking pink flamingo with a distaste for members of the siren race, the exception being her daughter Ilen and a select few others. In his spare time, Peabody practices yodelling on the front lawn of Madelyne's waterfront home in the Terraces at Lake Muurn, although he often wonders what it might be like to take up residence on the front lawn of her riverfront property instead.
