## Physical description

### Eye color

Smoky blue

Maddie Hannagan is Celia's best friend, who was the first person she met in the demesne. She is a very kind and intuitive person. She has a very large family of which she is the oldest child, and her relationship with them is somewhat strained.

## Appearance

"She turned to find a smiling, blond-haired girl with smoky blue eyes."

## Gifts

Maddie has mind gifts since she's in Mensaleon. Her secondary gifts are sight. She does not have body gifts, and has noted she got a 10 on her ALPHAs for the subject. She is still taking speech classes in *Flash of Red*, so it is possible she has very minor capabilities there.

## Personality

She is energetic, and “unfailingly loyal.”

## In the books

### Book in the Attic

Celia first meets Maddie getting food on the C-bus as she leaves for Renasci. Maddie is a bit star-struck, but only gets more surprised when she realizes Celia doesn't know about her status. She runs her mouth a bit, and Celia leaves uncomfortable, but they end up best friends. When Celia is framed for cheating and pranks, Maddie never doubts her, and helps her with the manual labor she is assigned after the third prank.

### Key to the Past

Maddie and Celia spend the second half of summer together when they go to the sleepaway camp, Camp Altohodos. There, they switch places, letting everyone believe that Maddie is actually Celia Fincastle and Maddie enjoys it. Summer ends, and they get back to school at Renasci, and the classes start. Maddie is in S level (advanced) mind and sight, which means she shares two classes with Celia, but the rest of her classes are core. All sixth years are required to do a famliy tree project, which Maddie finds rather easy as she has almost every family member on hand to talk to, unlike Celia. She learns that her grandfather was best friends with Tarver, the previous princep's brother. When Celia finds clues from her mother that will lead her to an object hidden at the school that will help with her family tree project, Maddie joins the hunt up until the last clue, when Celia finds the object alone.

### Flash of Red

The summer before their third year at Renasci, in which they would be fifth years, Maddie and Celia go to Camp Altohodos again. Everyone who was previously there still believes that Maddie is Celia and they don't correct them. So when a man asks who Celia Fincastle is, they all point to Maddie. This is how Maddie is briefly kidnapped at the end of the two weeks of camp. Casimir's followers grabbed her and ran but when one of them, Neel Winokur, who knew the real Celia, arrived on the scene, he panicked when he saw they had grabbed the wrong girl. She was left in the woods but, by wandering found her way safely back to camp. Soon, it's time to return to RAGS. Maddie is asked to the Fall Dance by Welby, a boy in her year in Tattotauri, and she says yes. When they go on their trip to Fleurdemer as fifth years, Maddie has another almost-kidnapping, but this time, Celia is also in the mix. Lucky, they manage to escape.

### The Final Word

Maddie spends the majority of the summer with Celia at Heath's house, where she supports Celia through issues regarding her sister, her love life, and the mounting stress of preparing to meet Casimir Coridan. She displays a remarkable intuitiveness about the world around her, and her hunches become central to the plot as she prevents Celia from getting kidnapped on the BUS, and she provides advice on Celia's increasing responsibilities.

## Trivia
