## Biographical

### Personality and Characteristics

One of the most beautiful women in the Universe as well as the immensely talented composer, she is only ever known as "Madrigal".

Besides her many accomplishments, she is also kind and compassionate and well able to handle her husband, Dragon.

### Family

Her brother Enrique was the only family member that really supported her in her marriage to Dragon. She was able to apply for a civilian land grant and built a restaurant for Enrique on part of it with a musical recording studio for herself next to it. As part of her agreement with Enrique concerning building the restaurant, Madrigal's immediate family and occasional guest eats for free there.

The rest of the family was very much against her marrying into a Betan Clan.

### Early years

When she was sixteen she was offered a full scholarship to attend a music school on Adonis. Her mother wanted her to forget about a music career and didn't want her to leave home at such a young age. Madrigal threatened with going to the Nagual rolling news with the story and ask them for help in applying for a court-appointed guardian.

She first met Dragon Tell Dramis when she was asked to compose the *Planet First Symphony* by the military. She insisted on visiting a planet first site to get a "feel" for it. It was a site that Dragon was at and they were instantly attracted to each other.

With Dragon being a proud member of Beta Sector, she knew it would cause a lot of difficulties with her family.

Before they were married, Dragon prevailed upon her to visit the Tell Clan house on Zeus as she was against marrying into a Betan clan. When she was at the clan hall she had a run in with Cordelia, more in that she was the victim of Cordelia's jealousy and spite. This prompted Dragon to declare in front of the entire clan that he was going to marry her, something which is significant in Clan culture. Cordelia always carried a grievance against Madrigal after that.

### Musical Career

Madrigal has a higher then normal acute hearing, but it probably has little to do with her music. She actually sees musical notes as colors in her mind. She only talks about her synesthesia to close family and friends.

Once she composed the *Planet First Symphony* her musical career was set.

The *Thetis March* was inspired by Dragon and adopted by the Tell clan as their anthem. After Sobek, Dragon had lingering nightmares. He only shared that information with Madrigal and those nightmares became the inspiration for the Thetis March.

## Summary

### Hestia 2781

She is first introduced when she visits her son at the hospital immediately after he saved Hera with his suicide run against the comet. She had to help save Drago from Dragon's wrath. She was about ready to take her two young daughters and visit Percival to create their planetary anthem.

### Array 2781

Madrigal is still on Percival, when she completes their commission, she decides to stay for awhile there with her two daughters, as she works on the new music piece that is inspired by Dragon.

While on Percival she checks in with Drago several times and they have long chats, where she fills him in on some of the backstories of different people. One of the stories that she fills Drago in on is the history between her and Cordelia Tell Gavanth.

### Sol 2781

In Sol 2781, Madrigal is faced with her husband, Dragon being lethally poisoned on Brynhild in Kappa Sector while trying to relocate a native species. She called in the Kar clan's poison specialist to assist. When she contacted Drago to portal to Brynild, she discovered that Earth was in portal lockdown for another 60 some hours due to a solar storm and that he would be able to join her for a few days. When she hears about another back-to-back solar storm that will be hitting Earth she calls Drago. Based on Drago's answer she immediately understands that there is something more going on and that the second solar storm is a Military cover story. Drago more or less confirms it by saying that he already fly one secret mission but that Jaxon would be flying the second one that was needed. He stressed that she needed to keep him informed on Dragon's status.
