Madeline Macgowan

**Madeline Irene "Mads" "Maddy" Macgowan** is a major character from the Jared & Friends franchise.

## Physical Appearance

Madeline is a young, beautiful girl that goes to the same school as Jared, where he tries to pursue her (stating that she's Jared's real world/first high school love interest). She has long, brown hair she loves to keep curly or staright, light skin, bright eyes (green), full lips, as well as a bright winning smile.

Her cartoon version has an outfit that consits of a bright pink sleeveless hood (similar to Layla/Aisha from Winx Club, just like Chloe) , or a bright Barney-purple/magenta/fucshia/dark pink shirt with a blue hood and a green hooded vest (similar to Inez's from Cyberchase) a blue headband with a daisy on it, lavender hi-tops/white mary-janes, a red bracelet, red lipstick, and a lime green bow. She also wears a glittered bright pink belt with a green belt buckle with her initials on it

Her cartoon design changed later in the series, and used in the animation spinoff. She wears her hair in pigtails, as well as sporting a pink button-down sleeveless halter shirt with a collar, blue and green khaki trimmed jeans, and pink saddle sneakers. This outfit first featured in live-action special, Valentine's Day Confusion Fusion. According to Jared, this design was make to make Maddy look more like a teenager and has become well-known with fans of the franchise.

As of after the events of Jared & Friends Too!: The Movie, her cartoon design gets a redesign: She still wears her blue jeans, although changed up a bit. Her brown pigtails are now curled up and she also wears blue hoop earrings. For her top, she now wears a dark blue halter tank top with a big pink horizontal stripe on it, as well as pink and white high tops. Although she still wears her previous design, from time to time.

## Role on the show/Personality

Her personality can be described as compassionate, impulsive, snarky, stylish, smooth, cool, athletic, honest, helpful, sometimes arrogant, adorable, feisty, sassy, sometimes sarcastic, stubborn, a little spoiled, sometimes jealous, somewhat vain, cute, insecure, heroic, fashionable, beautiful, flirtatious, sweet, bubbly, and friendly. Madeline is Jared's first high school love interest who first appeared in Visions of Love, and has made numerous appearances in the series, most notably the Mission: Maddy Saga. She is the independent woman in the show, whenever they go on imaginary adventures, however, she's really nice and vivacious. She might have a soft spot with Jared budding, even though Jared's doing the romancing (at least he tries to). She's also one of the females on the posse who has common sense, besides, well, all the other females, on Numbuh 5 level. Besides Jared & Barney & Isabela, she's a commander, usually in her squad, but sometimes if Jared's out, either her, Barney, or Isabela. Not to mention, she's the girl of all trades in her squadrant, besides Brooklyn. Nonetheless, she's always super nice and sweet and always likes to get Jared hooked. (One of the reasons Jared thinks she's great).

She has been shown to be very impulsive and critical in many episodes and gets a little jealous of other girls liking Jared, as shown in an episode for Season 2 where Sydney falls for Jared under a spell. It is also shown that she and Jared share a common liking for certain things, like music. It is shown that Maddy might like Nicktoons, particularly Jimmy Neutron & Hey Arnold, just as much as Jared does. It is also shown that she would never physically abuse Jared or anyone else. It is shown she looks up to Jared and wants to be as cool as him, as he is one of the coolest kids in the posse. Maddy can sometimes be a bit of a drama queen (Jared gave her the nickname "Drama Queen" because of this)

Maddy has also shown to be very intelligent, as she is always catching up in questions in class, and it is shown she can invent as well as Jared. She is also a prime fashion queen, always sporting super stylish outfits. It is also revealed that she is very good at baking in the later seasons, especially nearing the College Years era. However, she isn't without faults. Her sometimes snarky and sassy attitude can sometimes make her come off at bratty or a tad anti-social at times.

### **Character Bio**

#### Website Bio Description

**"***Early on in the high school days, if there were two words that would be the kryptonite for young Jared Robinson, it would be the name of Madeline Macgowan. This girl is sure as shell a no nonsense, confident, feisty, and sometimes blunt young soul prone to teasing (especially to Jared), but she deep down has a heart of gold. She isn't always too sure if Jared knows what he is doing, especially in terms of his imaginary powers, especially his super-charged psychic visions of the future, so she likes to think up her own plans that sometimes saves his hide, or just double his jeopardy. Miss Macgowan can probably be described as a girlier Francine Frensky. She is much more practical and always wants to see to believe, rather than rely on imagination like Jared and the Dream Team, but she still cares a whole lot for the young dreamer and always tries to keep him on his toes, even though she refuses to fully admit it right away. Maddy Macgowan is street-smart, stylish, and always has something to say. And that's why everyone likes her so much***"**

## Relationships

### Jared Robinson

Main Ariticle: Jared & Maddy M's Relationship

One of her most iconic relationships is with the franchise's main titular protagonist and one of her closest friends, Jared Robinson. In the beginning, she and Jared became good friends as time went on. She was also aware that he had a crush on her and flirted with on numerous occasions. Maddy likes Jared because of his bubbly personality and big imagination. As revealed in Season 3 onward, it's revealed that she soon developed a passionate crush on Jared, but kept it a secret from him, for sake of her relationship with him and the fact that he is dating Natalia by the end of Season 3. So she masks her love for him by antagonizing and teasing him on occasion, but she still drops many hints of her admiration for him and cares for him a lot. She often goes to comfort him if he's depressed or heartbroken. Despite this, she and Jared are always best friends and always work things out.

### Barney the Dinosaur

Maddy and Barney are considered very good friends. Maddy likes Barney because of the many tricks he can do, how he's very helpful, and the fact he is the best friend of her crush. Barney always is available to help Maddy and sometimes help with moral support, like how he helped her sister explain the dangers of jealousy to her. It's revealed in Visions of Love that they've known each other for years, similar to Jared and Barney.

### Natalia Emmerson

Having a passionate crush and because of the fact that Tal is dating Jared, she doesn't really enjoy them together, but still supports their relationship. Most of what we know is from Maddy's thoughts and actions. After her confession and Jared's break-up, they come to be very close friends and have fun together a lot.
