Institute Information
Madeline Williams (Canada)
CANON: Axis Powers Hetalia (Nyotalia)
AGE: 16
GENDER: Female
YEAR IN SCHOOL: 11
BIRTHDAY: July 1
HOMEPLACE: Manitoba, Canada
POWERS: Madeline has the ability to shift into any living thing her size or smaller, though she tends towards woodland type creatures or plants. Any attempt to shift into something larger just makes her into that thing just fun sized. She has some control over when it happens just not really what she turns into and shifting while sleeping is even harder to control.
She also has a little curl that tends to be a bit sensitive when touched but she keeps that hidden away.
PERSONALITY:
Madeline doesn't tend to make a big first impression. Quiet around strangers, kind, thoughtful, but ultimately forgettable. She has 'that quiet girl' written all over her and she does not mind giving others that idea. Madeline would rather be vaguely remembered in a good way than vividly recalled in a bad one. When you meet again though, she will remember you. Years of being overlooked made her sensitive to such things and she will recall the names, faces, and often the birthdays of nearly all her acquaintances.
With those people she is more fond of, she is more open. A little sarcastic, fiercely proud, but hesitant to be overly rude. Even her insults are half-hearted and often fly over others heads. She may smile sweetly and then give you an underhanded compliment on your clothes. No one expects it from her and they often think she misspoke.
"Ladies are not rude and they do not raise their voice." Of course she only half learned that lesson as she is often loud during hockey games or exciting television shows. She is quite certain her mother never approved of her playing hockey or going hiking, and she kept that as her little rebellion But then her mother was never quite as lady-like as the ideal she taught and Madeline has long since stopped striving to be perfect for her. It never gained her any attention before and now that she is her own, the lessons only stick on the base level.
Madeline loathes to be embarrassed. Any accidental embarrassment, from tripping and falling to getting something on her shirt, is horrifying and she detests pranks, especially those designed to humiliate. It started with an innocent little grass stain on the shirt that got her a lecture on cleanliness from her mother. That escalated when she was laughed at by a friend when she tripped in the mud . The idea of humiliation makes her cringe and she would never make a fool of herself or anyone else. Her empathetic nature has always made her refuse to go along with any new ideas when they involve such humiliation. If she hates it, then surely someone else will and it's rude to humiliate someone in the first place.
She can be jealous at times though she tries to push those feelings away. Between the way her parent's attention was captured by her siblings and their normality compared to her, she has a hard time talking to her family without feeling that envy. Yet, she speaks of them with fondness. She simply finds it hard to hold a grudge unless a person is violent or abusive.
AU HISTORY:
Madeline was born to a couple in Canada, welcomed into the world looking and act perfectly normal. She was soon the oldest of three children with her sister was born just a year after her. Her younger siblings were always in trouble and required constant attention and she learned to be the peacekeeper at an early age. The quieter she was, the easier life was on her parents. The only attention she really recieved was her mother's little manner lessons every morning yet as her sister started getting in more trouble, even those were shortened.
When her parents were busy enough not to miss her, she took to playing in the woods. She disappeared into the forest for hours on end, watching the animals, climbing trees and hiking as high up the mountains as she dared. When watchful eyes kept her closer to home, she would go play whatever the boys were playing in the park, letting her sister play on the swings. Hockey became a favorite though her mother tsked her for it every single time she came home with her pigtails in disarray.
As time when on, her parents started fighting more. It became hard to deal with dinners interrupted by shouting and she withdrew more and more. One dinner, she finally snapped--and shrank. A pile of clothes and a pair of glasses dwarfed a tiny weasel, sitting where Madeline had sat.
It took three hours and more poking and shouting than she cared for to figure out how to change back. She automatically hated her power--because the shouting and fighting had already increased. It rang in the night, accusing words flung at each other about what was going to happen with a mutant in their family. Didn't they have enough problems?
Madeline tried to keep her power contained but within a month and several dozen shifts, she had managed to destroy her bed twice. Her family was in shreds dealing with it and she constantly lived in fear that she would shift at the wrong place or wrong time. In the end, she was sent to America to a school that could deal with her.
She's been at the institute for three years since then and her powers have slowly started coming under control, though she's far from competent.
