Character Summary

Ethelinda, or 'Madge' as she is better known, is a mature and confident magical girl, and Callidus Rank Leader of the Sixth Officio. Her time is considered valuable, and she is annoyed when it is wasted. However, she knows how to unwind when off the clock, and isn't above using trickery while working.

Character History (non-canon)

The Old Grind

Madge's first appearance is her mocking Heather and calling her out on being reckless. The two trade barbs until Heather says something that frustrates her with how ridiculous it is. She gets back at the Eversor Rank Leader by tricking her into walking into a hall closet. After having a laugh at Heather's expense, which is taken in stride, Madge leaves Heather to her own devices.

The New Grind

Madge proctors for Eleanor's Eversor trial in one of the training halls, giving every indication she doesn't want to be there. Eleanor's dawdling annoys her, and Madge constantly checks the time. After making the countdown, Eleanor and her opponent fight each other.

Upon the match's conclusion, Madge 'congratulates' Eleanor, and the girl starts sobbing. Madge tells Kai to focus on treating wounds, and talks with Eleanor. She finds Eleanor's motivations to be difficult to fit to the typical Eversor lifestyle, but compromises by convincing Eleanor to take up hunting witches instead of people. After Eleanor stops her to say thank you, Madge leaves the training hall. She is seen later that day at Eleanor's party, drinking bourbon out of a teacup. She introduces herself properly to Eleanor, but insists on being called 'Madge', and generally stays out of the way. Suzi talks with her about the party, and about Eleanor, both coming to the conclusion that it was to impress the people back at the Eighth Officio, and that Eleanor will have a very hard time of things. Madge doesn't dislike her, since she isn't a 'meathead' like most Eversors, but says she won't go out of her way to aid her. Madge then asks Suzi what she thought of Hesselius. After confirming Suzi doesn't want a serious relationship with that girl, Madge gets angry and starts speaking toward Suzi with a hiss. The heated discussion ends after Leman Russ calls them both over to celebrate.
