True to the custom of the grounders, Madi grew up learning to be tough and brave. She was always a very fierce girl, even when she was a toddler, always taking on the boys and mostly beating them in fights. She always loved playing pranks on her peers and the adults, which would often get her into trouble but she never shied away from the hard work she would get as punishment. She always makes the best out of her situation and tries to find some light even in the darkest of hours.

.:Special Skills:.
Madi learned how to track animals and can assess all the information hidden in her surroundings. She can creep through the woods or any other landscape without anyone seeing or hearing her if she wants to.

.:History:.
Madi's life started in a small Trikru village during a rainy, stormy night. Her father used to love telling her the story of how she came into the world fighting. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and everyone present during the birth believed that she wasn't going to make it, but the little girl didn't give up and she soon let out that powerful scream her parents had been waiting for. She was quicker than most of the other children her age, running at the age of ten months and getting into all sorts of mischief. Her parents and older brother were kept on their toes trying to keep her in check, but she'd often slip away from them an get into some sort of trouble.

As most young children, she was prone to accidents, scratching her knees or some other body part. When Madi was barely a year old, Olan accidentally hit her in the face with his selfmade toy car and her nose began to bleed. She almost never cried even when in pain, so their mother didn't notice. Only when the boy asked her why his sister's blood was black, did the woman squat down to examine her daughter and her heart sank to her stomach. Following this incident, Madi's parents kept her locked into their home to avoid her getting hurt again and any of the villagers seeing her black blood until they had figured out what to do about it. Madi's parents were proud of their culture and usually followed their traditions, but they just couldn't bare possibly losing their daughter. It didn't take them long to decide that they would leave their village, even though it pained them to lose their friends and family, it would pain them even more to lose their child. They packed only the bare necessities and headed out into the woods to find an isolated area where they could make their new home. They lived a harsh life for a while but soon set up a new farm house where they could live and work peacefully without the fear that Madi's nature would be discovered.

Madi lived a calm and happy life with her parents and brother with everything the land had to offer them until they noticed a change in their surroundings. They usually felt blessed by the rain as it meant drinking water for them, their animals and their crops, but one day, the water falling from the skies was sour and it burned. It burned their skin, it burned their land and the sky seemed to be changing. The family fled to an abandoned bunker from the old ages they'd been using for storage, confused and scared of what was going on in their world. The water and food in the bunker didn't last for long, since they'd had no idea was going on and hadn't been prepared to stay in the shelter for a long period of time. After her father had opened the trap door, it didn't take long for Madi's family to start feeling sick. She felt ill herself, but the air and the water from outside they'd had to start drinking didn't seem to affect her as harshly as the rest of them. Her mother was the first one to die, so many burn marks on her body she could hardly be recognized. Her father and brother didn't even have the energy to cry for her anymore, let alone bury her.
She was lying on the ground of the bunker, surrounded by the dead bodies of her family, her eyes barely open as she was slipping further and further into the darkness to follow her loved ones. Her lips were cracked open from being so dry as much as her skin was from the burning air. Madi was ready to let go until an angel stepped into her blurred vision. An angel with long blonde locks of hair and a face so fair, especially compared to the burned skin she'd only seen for so long now. The angel scooped her up and carried her away into the light.
It's been almost six years now since Clarke saved her life, nursing her back to health and keeping her safe. Although she hasn't forgotten her real mother, keeping the memory of her family alive as best as she can, Clarke has become a kind of adoptive mother to her. She used to comfort Madi when she couldn't sleep by telling her stories of the Ark and of her friends. The little girl loved hearing about Bellamy, Raven, of Clarke's mother Abby and even of John Murphy. She held on to the hope that she would be able to meet them someday.

Note: Madi's backstory has been approved by Clarke
