Appearance
Picture:
Hair Colour:
Pale to Golden Blonde
Eye Colour:
Different shades of Green and Blue.
Build:
Slender, perhaps bordering on underweight. Not exactly curvy, but proportioned nonetheless.
Skin Tone:
Very pale and fragile looking.
Height:
5'4
Dress Style:
Madeleine is in a word, a trend setter. Shopping trips to Paris, Milan and London with her Mother from the age of four have taught her exactly how to dress. She would rather be caught dead in just her underwear rather than wearing something someone else has already worn. She has quite the fetish for shoes, and at her castle in France she has a 13 foot long wall of heels and flats. Naturally, her wardrobe has been made to increase in size with every frequent addition of clothes she adds. Her personal style could probably be called feminine, chic and sometimes slightly revealing. She doesn't usually wear shorts or pants, she prefers dresses and skirts. In terms of accessories, Madeleine always wears a necklace she was given at birth by her Grandmother as an heirloom. The white gold chain holds a charm at the end that is a snake curling upward with diamonds studding it's back and emeralds for eyes.
Specifics:
Madeleine would probably stand out from the rest of the crowd due to her Veela blood. Naturally, she has no problems attracting and charming people using her looks alone, but then her Veela charms are always a back up. She is usually dressed incredibly well, usually in the latest fashions twisted to suit her own personal style.
In Front Of Friends
Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual
Self Image:
Madeleine could have almost literally invented the word Narcissist. She loves herself like no other person loves themselves. In fact, she always carried around a pocket mirror, should she feel it necessary to gaze at her reflection. While she is usually only thinking of herself, when she doesn't it usually involves boys and shopping. If you were to ask her to rate herself on a scale of 0 to 10 on looks, she would promptly inform you that she would be far off that scale. She is very confident and self absorbed.
To the Outward Eye:
Considering Madeleine would rarely think of anything not to do with herself, many people perceive her as a dumb bimbo. Despite the fact that she does sometimes act like one, Madeleine has an incredibly sharp and quick witted mind that is often thinking up vicious and cunning schemes. Therefore, many people after first meeting her realise that she is in fact quite cold hearted and self absorbed.
Social Status:
Madeleine is popular, but not in the normal term. She has many admirers and followers that she wouldn't usually talk to unless it was to order them around. She could be seen as a Queen Bee, but she really only has a couple of close friends. And even those, I don't know if she trusts. She only really associated herself with those she deems worthy. They must be either wealthy, pureblood, pretty or have something of interest to her.
Positive Traits:
Negative Traits:
Skills:
Playing the Piano, Shopping, Acting, Horse riding, Hosting Parties, Partying
Likes:
Snakes - Her pet is a snake.
Acting - Madeleine loves to perform and showcase her talents
Playing the Piano - While she wouldn't usually admit this, it always calms her down
Shopping - Basically she likes spending money and receiving new things Partying - A natural born flirt, she likes socialising
Dislikes:
Muggleborns and Muggles - It has been imprinted in her mind ever since she was born, she sees them as inferior
People who correct her - Just don't do it, ok? Madeleine thinks that she is ALWAYS right
Sharks - Her brother was almost mauled by one when they vacationed in Australia
Getting dirty - Madeleine likes to look good, and dirt doesn't look good. Right?
Anything that might ruin her plans/face/body - She a self obssessed narcissist, through and through.
Patronus:
A snake. Madeleine has familiarised herself with that animal for quite a while and she feels very comfortable around them.
Boggart:
Her grandmother dying. Yes, Madeleine does have a heart (albeit, a small one) She and her Grandmother Camille are very close, as Camille doted on her and loved her ever since she was born. Also, they are very similar in personality, both admitting that they are the only ones each other genuinely trusts.

Report:
Honestly, teachers are absolutely baffled by Madeleine's abilities to receive good marks. With the exception of Potions (which she seems to have an aptitude for) she rarely pays attention in class and hands in her homework. Still, she still manages to pass all of her exams, without so much as anything below on E. Some teachers are convinced that she cheats, but so far any attempts to prove this have been redundant.
Personal Statement:
Madeleine adores Potions. Her father owns the largest Potions exporting company so she has grown up surrounded by them. But other than that she really sees no point in the classes. She certainly has no ideas of going into teaching or anything similar.
History:
All her family have been respected French Purebloods. Being one of the wealthiest families in all of Europe, the Laroque's have gained a reputation of that as being silver-tongued and incredibly powerful. They are able to trace their lineage back to Merlins's time, with no muggles interlaced with their ancestry. Quite a few of them have been veelas, and Madeleine herself is half-veela. They own manors and castles all around the globe.
All of them have either been given the choice of Beauxbatons or Hogwarts as a school, and Madeleine chose Hogwarts. All that have attended Hogwarts have been sorted into Slytherin. While the Laroque's have not necessarily ever had a job, in the past they have had connections inside the Ministry, many of them being high ranking jobs. Currently, they are 'neutral' however, some of the ancestors have been Dark Side supporters.
Madeleine's father, Nickolas first met her mother Eleanor, when he was vacationing on the French Riviera. Automatically drawn to her natural beauty and charms, he wooed her constantly, and the two of them got talking. Unfortunately for him, his parents had already decided on an arranged marriage for him with another woman. Undeterred by this, her father secretly concocted a potion (an aptitude he passed on to Madeleine) that ensured the other woman would fall pregnant, but not with his child. Needless to say, a few months later the engagement was broken off (privately of course) and Eleanor met Camille. At first, Madeleine's Father's family were cautious about the match, but when they would out that Eleanor's non-Veela ancestors had all been purebloods, they consented. Hence, Madeleine still views herself as pure.
Madeleine's history is hardly what you would call complicated or frightening. Born on the 13th of April, she was loved and adored by everyone since she first opened her emerald green eyes. From a young age she was nicknamed 'Princess' due to the fact that she was treated exactly like one. Her parents were thrilled at the idea of having a little girl that would be spoiled and beautiful, growing up to marry into another wealthy and powerful French Pureblood family.
She spent most of her childhood at the Laroque castle (situated just outside of Versailles) or at her Grandmother's manor on the French Riviera. She was taught magic, manners and style from a young age. At the age of five, she developed this further as her parents insisted upon her taking Piano, Flute, Horse riding and Swimming lessons. In the case of piano and flute, she was only allowed to play pieces by composers her parents deemed worthy; purebloods.
Madeleine's ancestors have all been purebloods and sometimes even members of the Dark Side. Therefore, Madeleine and Serge were both taught that they were superior in every way to muggles, muggleborns and halfbloods. Naturally, this preconceived idea will probably never leave Madeleine nor Serge's mind.
When Madeleine was eight, Serge was made to chose between attending Beauxbatons and Hogwarts, just as every other Laroque had done before him. He chose Hogwarts and was not surprisingly sorted into Slytherin. Three years later, Madeleine made the same choice to go to Hogwarts.
So far, her years have been hardly eventful, in any case. Every holidays she and Serge would go back to their castle in France. Their mother, being quite the popular socialite and 'house wife' that she is, made them attend the numerous Pureblood balls that were held. It was at one of these balls that Madeleine met the twins; Marc and Laurent Devereux. Despite the fact that the first time she met them they were trying to slip firewhiskey into her drink, they became friends.
Unfortunately for Madeleine, both of the boys are currently on her Mother's list of eligible bachelors for her. Although she will begrudgingly admit that she has had 'flings' with both of them in the past, marrying one of them is not on fer to-do list.
Roleplay Sample:
Madeleine huffed and stomped outside into the grounds. One of her favourite pairs of heels had broken this morning, and she was reduced to wearing some flats. Therefore, she wasn't as tall as she usually was. And she was mad about it. She was in no mood to entertain her little band of admirers right now. Time to send them away.
"You're dismissed. Go get me some Mango Yoghurt." She muttered coldly at them like the true Queen Bitch that she was. Even now when she was mad, did her voice sound like liquid silk. A gift, it really was. Silver tongued and Parseltongued. One of the girls nodded and smiled at Madeleine, almost as if she was trying to impress her. Which of course she was. The other one was less than polite, opening her mouth to retort.
"If you even say one word, I will ensure you are cleaning up the bile from the derelict wasted creatures that inhabit the Hogs Head for the rest of your life. Got it?" She raised her eyebrows and scoffed, scowled and smirked. Her ultimate trio of facial expressions, all within the period of one minute. No one could perfect that quite like Madeleine could.
Flicking her golden hair over her shoulder and stomping quite impressively on the grass as a latent outlet for her (quite possibly never-ending) anger, she glanced around at her surroundings. Noticing the Quidditch players in the air (No doubt showing off) she grimaced lightly. If there was one thing Madeleine hated, no who are we kidding? Madeleine could never limit herself to just one hate. Nevertheless she hated quidditch. That being said, she loved flying, but the mere thought of one of those ridiculously oversized bludger things whamming into her head was enough to make her keep her feet on the ground. Like any self-respecting narcissist, the thought of anything ruining her face was a phobia of hers.
Pulling her mind and head away from the flyers she sighed and proceeded to continue her search for somewhere she could be alone. She just needed space from everyone and everything. Her eyes caught on a small section of grass situated right in front of the Lake. Normally, she would have chosen somewhere a little more... subtle and hidden from the eyes of her stalkers, but she felt compelled today.
She flopped onto the grass. Wait no, Laroque's never flop. Therefore, she gracefully descended onto the ground, but not before inspecting it for any traces of something that might ruin her 1000 galleon outfit. She sighed as she gazed reflectively out at the shimmering surface of the lake.
It was hard, being Head Bitch.

They must be either wealthy, pureblood, pretty or have something of interest to her.
Positive Traits:
- Intelligence - Madeleine has inherited a quick witted mind from her Father. While she hardly ever uses it for good of for the purpose of her grades, it can hardly be called slow. Like the majority of her ancestors, her intelligence often manifests itself in one of her neverending schemes.
- Confidence - She hardly ever meets a challenge she'll back down from, but that does not mean she's brave. While she does take pleasure in insulting people verbally, she'll usually get other people to do the dirty work for her.
- Determined - As soon as Madeleine has a scheme in her mind, no one, not even herself can get it out of her head. She would do anything necessary to get exactly what she wants.
- Independent - Apart from using other people to do things for her, Madeleine never depends or relies on anyone but herself.
- Charming - Madeleine can be incredibly winning when she wants to be. It helps that she has a silver tongue and an aptitude for getting away with things.
Negative Traits:
- Cold - Hardly sympathetic or empathetic, Madeleine rarely cares when someone else is upset or angry.
- Demanding - If Madeleine wants it, Madeleine will get it, no matter what. I don't think she has ever taken the word 'no' for an answer.
- Dominating - She is always the leader. Enough said.
- Manipulative - Madeleine has no problems with using other people by any means to achieve the end result, which is often something of gain to her.
- Deceitful - Don't trust her. Even I can sometimes hardly tell if she is lying or telling the truth.
