[b]Relationships[/b] 

[i]Mother[/i] | like many children, Madison (or Maddie as she is often called) shared a special bond with her mother. Being cared for and provided for by a single mother, Madison grew to have a strong respect and appreciation for her mother. While they struggled at times, her mother always supported her and made the best of their situation. Madison never had to want for anything, even though they were far from rich, her mother always worked hard to make things happen for her. From class trips to Christmas, she always worked to make sure Madison could enjoy herself, even if it meant sacrificing her own wants. Madison, therefore, kept out of trouble and never asked for much. She always wanted to see her mom happy.

Madison’s mother, Lyndsey M. Oakley, died rather unexpectedly in a car crash. As expected, Madison has been struggling to cope with the situation. She’s been struggling to find purpose or enjoyment in anything anymore. She finds herself unable to enjoy her favorite shows, as she would watch them with her mother. She’s left occasionally thinking about her own life and mortality. She has been feeling hopeless and unsure what to do without the only consistent thing in her life. 

A tragic loss for her daughter, who knew no other family. Although there were close family friends that were willing to help, none were assigned legal guardianship. As no biological family was available, she was sure to spend some time in government care. Until her father appeared... With recent events, quite a bit of inner turmoil. While she has been trying to make sense of it all and keep her composure, she’s finding herself closer and closer to a breakdown. 


[i]Father[/i] | Madison never really knew her father and never had much of a father figure at all. There was a period in her childhood where she became curious of her biological father and wanted to get to know him. However, her mother never really discussed him very openly. She claimed that she didn’t know where he was (and didn’t want to). Therefore, nothing ever came of that. For a while, Madison wondered what happened between the two. Eventually, she came to accept things the way they were - what else could she do?

It wasn’t until after her mother’s death did she hear from her father. Being reconnected with him came as a surprise and simply mentioning him was a bit overwhelming for her given the situation. She is unsure about meeting him and hesitant. 

[s][NOTE: If you want, there could have been occasional contact like letters or phone calls but I’m not sure how estranged you wanted them to be. So I assumed they didn’t communicate at all since they split.][/s]

[i]Closest Friend[/i] | Madison grew up in the city, and went to local public or charter schools throughout the years. Since elementary school, Madison befriended a girl named [i]Lauren[/i]. Growing up in similar situations, in the same neighborhood and school and interests, they bonded quickly. Though they drifted apart slightly at the start of middle school, they eventually grew close again.
