Madelynn Dreadful

Madelynn Dreadful, the Lionhearted, was an independent knight of the Empire of the Dark and the unofficial knight of Chaos Dreadful. Because he had not received a title of status, Madelynn lost favor with her fellows. She was protecting someone who had little value to the Empire as a whole at the time, but she stood by her decision. During the coup which formed the Empire of the Dark, Madelynn led the charge, fighting some of her former colleagues. In the end, Chaos became the Emperor to reform the government, and Madelynn took her official title. The two had a pair of daughters and adopted one son. She eventually went insane due to the Shadow Plague and upon finally succumbing and attacking her family, she was struck down by the family friend Vedi.

Appearance
She was an average sized woman with long blond hair, a golden hair clip in the shape of a flower, and blue eyes. She often wore a yellow and white dress on and off duty simply because she enjoyed it, but would occasionally dawn light armor when needed.

Personality
Madelynn was kind and extremely patient with others. Much like her daughter Penny, she only spoke to a select few people she trusted, but at times was much more talkative. Madelynn admitted that she had much trouble controlling her personal feelings, even when on the job, leading her to go out of her way to save others. Her fellows in the Knights Division called this behavior reckless and told her that she would never serve someone as their personal knight because of it. This led her to operate independently despite being apart of a bigger organization, and earn her the title 'the Lionhearted'. When off duty, she would spend time in the dense forest just outside of Umbra Fani and secretly meet with Chaos.

Trivia

 * The author has stated that if Autumn Brood and Madelynn were to do battle, that it would most likely end in a draw.
 * Madelynn Dreadful was planned to die just before Origins, but instead, her death was pushed forward to allow the family situation to fall apart.
 * Madelynn's hair was made blonde and neither of her daughters inherited this trait; however, this was done to show the massive contrast between herself and both of her children. The only thing that they share are 'faces and voices.'
 * A third Dreadful sibling was planned in the form of a younger sister named Amy, but she was cut shortly after the first draft.
