body type:: Slender but proportioned
hair color:: Ranging from Golden Blonde to Light Blonde
eye color:: Different shades of Green and Blue
overall:: Madeleine is neither tall or small; she's about average height (say 5’5), and she doesn’t weight a lot (105lb). She doesn't really eat much, so many people, on first sight, think she's anorexic. But after meeting her, all notions of this are blown out the window; Madeleine loves herself far too much to starve herself. Generally her hair is a golden blonde to platinum blonde, although sometime it can be a shade darker. Her eyes are supposedly her best feature; they are deep pools of green and blue that can and will change with her mood. A debilitating flaw that she often tries to mask is a burn mark on her left palm that came from when she was an infant while she was playing with one of her Father's potions. Unfortunately, the nature of the potion means the burn/mark will never go away.
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. You will never, and I literally mean never, see Madeleine without a ribbon. Whether it's tied into her hair when its pulled up, or fastened like a headband, she cannot and will not be seen in public without one. The colours vary, but usually its white, green or dark blue. Usually, it would match whatever she is wearing.

overall:: If there was one word that could describe Madeleine down to a tee it would be Narcissist. It's always Madeleine, Madeleine, Madeleine in her mind. She's probably a little too much obsessed with herself, because in her mind, she is perfect. Literally. She carries around a hand mirror everywhere she goes, just to check her reflection. She has no issues with manipulating others to gain whatever she wants, and being the spoiled little princess she has never had to share anything. This has helped to shape her selfish nature.
That being said, she doesn't find it hard to socialise around people. Her Mother gave her looks, her Father gave her charm. They also gave her wealth. I suppose you could say she was born with a gold, diamond encrusted spoon in her mouth. Another inheritance that is slightly less conventional that Madeleine received is her parselmouth abilities. While it seems to have skipped a few generations, Madeleine is extremely proud of it.
Madeleine is very determined when she wants something. She doesn't like being told she's wrong, being denied, or even being left in the dark. She has had numerous flings in the past, but owing to her short attention span and need to be interested, few of them have lasted more than a week. Obviously, she has commitment issues, with the all the little flings resulting in quite a few broken hearts, none of them hers though.
She isn't not overly affectionate and she could be called cold-hearted. However, she is quite close with her family, and despite common belief, she does love them. Her family and her close friends are the only ones that ever come close to not being betrayed by Madeleine. And while she looks like a typical blonde bimbo, she has an incredibly sharp and cunning mind. While she would never use such talents toward school work (unless it was Potions, which she exceeds at) they are often spent scheming.
If she doesn't get her way, you'd better watch out. Because Madeleine always gets her way. Selfish? Like you have no idea. And if she doesn't get it straight away? Well, firstly she always prides herself on her schemes. So you can be sure that Madeleine won't threaten to kill you straight away if you don't give her what she wants (although that may come in at a later date). She prefers to simply and more importantly, cunningly find a way to manipulate the other person into doing exactly what she wants. The methods vary; preying on their weaknesses, using their 'loved' ones etc.
She is quite quick witted and very rarely are you able to tell if she's lying or telling the truth. Like almost everyone in her family, she is always out their for herself. When people criticise her for being a bit too ambitious she will quite calmly reply that is she wasn't out their for herself, who else would be?
When it comes to her views on the world, it's all very simple for Madeleine. Purebloods are the top of the food chain, with Slytherins up there as well. I guess you could say her ideals are that of the dark side, as she doesn't really care for killing people who stand in the way of Pureblood dominance. Of course, she wouldn't do that herself; she doesn't like getting her hands, or more importantly, her reputation dirty.
A natural born actor and dramatist, she is prone to exaggerating things. This also means that she has an incredibly fiery temper, and it's not wise to get on her bad side. While she has a smile and a laugh that could warm even the devil's heart, her glares would freeze the sun. A little charmer, she can be. That is when she wants to.

history .
family:: (include name, age, occupation, and personal relation with each)

mother;; Eleanor, 43, House Wife / Trophy Wife, Eleanor and Madeleine are often seen gossiping or shopping together, they don't usually fight because they agree on many things.
siblings;; Serge, 19, Currently unemployed, Serge is quite overprotective of Madeleine, she doesn't mind it that much.
pets;; Snake, Horses, Cats, Dragons
other;; Camille, Grandmother (on Father's side), 68, Retired (not that she had a job to begin with), Madeleine is closest to Camille, they have almost identical personalities, and Camille gave Madeleine her middle name.
hometown:: Paris
financial status:: Filthy and Incredibly Wealthy
overall:: 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. 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. None of them have so much as thought of going anything less than dark Side supporters. Nickolas was one of Voldemort's closest Death Eaters, but he escaped persecution and used his ties in the Ministry to further uphold the Laroque name.
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. From a young age 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 seven, she discovered her latent ability of Parselmouth. She always had an inkling towards this as she never felt anything but exhilaration when she played with her pet snake as a younger girl, viewing it more as a friend, rather than her pet. Her mother, Father and Serge are the only people alive that know of this. In fact, it was her Father who first realised this when someone commented on Madeleine being like 'Serpentard', which is of course Slytherin, in French.
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.

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.
