*"If you have to ask, you're not going to like the answer." - Madelyne Troy*

**Madelyne Donna Louise Troy** is a member of the affluent and wealthy philanthropic Reason-Troy-Odinson family tree whose ancestry rivals that of the British Royal Family of England with a family tree that goes back to the First Century AD, even so far as including the Royal House of Troy and the House of Saxony as her ancestors. She is a cousin of businessman J. Peter Reason, a noted philanthropist and political activist. She is considered Rachel Hedison's favorite clothing designer.

Not much is known about Madelyne Troy's life which is often contradictory and distorted by versions she has given of it. According to most accounts, she was born in London, England and spent her life abroad. Her ancestral home, Maison Troia, a two-hundred room mansion in the community of Collinwood, Maine, was lost during the Great Depression. The fact she claims she was a girl when it was lost suggests she is far older than she claims despite her looks. She lived near Los Angeles for several years as an actress and in Chicago, Illinois afterward as a dancer and performance artist, developing a passion for designing clothing and costumes for the stage.

Several of Madelyne's family members are known for being celebrities in the tabloid media. Her sister, Cynthia Troy, is the owner of several locations, particularly the White Tower in Chicago, where she has converted the top eight floors into a vast penthouse. She is also known for being promiscuous, dating countless actors, sports figures and celebrities. Her sister, Paula Troy, is a director of documentaries involving the paranormal and ancient astronauts. Her sister, Olivia Troy, is a hedonist, owning and running an island resort near Hawaii. A few of her children have also turned up in the media. While living in California, Madelyne lived with her boyfriend, William Brittany, in an apartment converted from the interior of an abandoned hospital. They never married, but Madelyne later married Peter Bradford Troy, with whom she shared a common ancestor. They lived in the partially restored Belasco Mansion in upstate Maine until his death in 1987. At some point, Madelyne reacquired Mason Troia by unknown means to restore it from getting demolished although she had to sell off much of the estate to do it.

Among her daughters, Sarah Troy, Tricia Troy and Lisa Troy, have masqueraded as high school kids through as many as fifty-seven schools well into their late Twenties. Gwen had a brief music career before before becoming a photojournalist, and Alicia is an noted anthropologist in her field. Her last child, William Troy, considers himself an adventurer fascinated by haunted houses like the Trout Mansion in Ashford Falls, New York and the ruins of forgotten structures. A bit incorrigible, he is noted for being tossed out of a private academy near Half Blood, New York.

In liege with her contradictory history, Madelyn claims to have been a recurring guest at the Winchester Hotel during the 1950s, although she claims to only be in her late forties. She has been a couturier to both Monica Winchester and Rachel Hedison. In addition to being a fashion designer, Madelyn has been approached by Carter Hedison as an investor to his company several times. Although she was once an investor, she sold her stocks in the company to J. Peter Reason. She is also known to be quite philanderer, romantically chasing after Dr. Paul Kirkwood and Douglas Greer, but not to the extent of her sister. She was also among the guests the night of Rachel's wedding announcement to Dr. Kirkwood as Jack Gable pursued Rachel as a love interest.

In recent years, Madelyn has had to interfere in relationships pursued by her children. Although William once wanted to marry model Allison Reason, she turned him down, and he pursued a girl named Alex Russo in Waverly Hills, New York. Sarah briefly pursued a physicist named Leonard Hofstadter in Pasadena, California before Madelyne questioned her motives.
