Madge Adelia Adler

Madge is one of Willow's friends, and particuly close to James and Mercedes. James was Willow's friend first, and Mage was Merecedes's first. The 4 met with Lane in a social studies project (they were assigned to the same group) and became good friends.

Madge was born in District 9, at the local hosiptal on September 22end, making her a Virgo. She was a happy child, with a cat, Mari, her father, Dylan Adler, and her mother, Liliana Adler. Her father nicknamed Madge many flower names, his main one being "Sunflower". His nickname for Liliana being "Blossom", and "Cherry Blossom". Madge desrcribed the feeling of being the most important thing in the world to her father. At age 8, Liliana and Dylan began fighting. "“I was 8, old enough to understand. They kept fighting, over and over again, over *everything.* I’d come home, happy as a clam, to hear shouts and breaking mugs. I’d have to clean up the mess. One time, I asked my mother, ‘what happened to you two? I thought you were his cherry blossom? And Me daddy’s sunflower?’, she said, ‘I don’t know honey, I don’t know. Loving is hard, but sometimes, moving on is better than anything,’. We cried together that night. They divorced when I was 10. I felt like crap. My world was falling apart, I was loosing grip on everything that felt right…”" (Chapter 16, "My Sunflower"). After her parents divorced, Liliana got custody over Madge and they moved to District 12. There, Madge made friends with Sai. In 5th grade, the two met James, Lucas, and Willow, all becoming close best friends. She met Lynna in "Odd, isn't it?"

Madge first apppeared in Lynna's first day during lunch. ("Odd, isn't it?") She was reading in her free period, which was before her lunch. James went to get her, and Willow noted that she thought "James has always been sweet on her, but he won't admit it,". when Madge and James came back, they were talking and laughing. James was blushing. Madge sat down, and opened her lunch, which she brought, while Sai, Lane, Willow, and James all has school lunch.

In "Chapter 8, "I Wished" ", it was Madge's first chapter/part in her perspective. She was texting James, and he was flirting, as per usual. She was blushing, and narrated, "blush filling my pale cheeks. *Stop it,* I command myself. You don't want another...sitution to happen again. Yeah." So, she most likely James, but had dated before, and was scared for it to end badly again. Or, it could be related her Dad issues, and was scared of loving someone, mostly men, for fear of heartbreak. They texted back and forth, revealing that James had asked her on a date Monday, and the date was Saterday, at the movies. She was secretly excited and got up to choose her outfit. "I decided on my blue skirt, sweater top, white jacket, and my lavender shoes with my red hair half up in space buns would be adorable and perfect." She then took a picture of herself and sent it to Willow for her opinion. She said she would have sent it to Sai, but she did not have a phone, and she didn't know if Lynna had a phone or not. Willow was actully asleep, so Lynna answered. She told her that she looked super cute. Madge replied with "Thx! I'm gonna wear it my date with James trm!". Lynna then explained how James had kissed Willow, and how Willow was freaked out because she didn't know how to react. James left seconds later. This hurt Willow and Madge both deeply. Madge says, "After she explained, I really wished she hadn't." which is how the chapter earns its name.

In Chapter 11, "Don't Get Too sure" Madge texts James back on after finding out from Lynna. It's about 8:00 at night. She tells him to explain himself.
