( rose byrne. 42. cis woman. she/her ) — hey there, MADELINE ASHFORD!! are you headed off to SERENDIPITY ART MUSEUM or TO PARTY ON A YACHT?? i knew i’d find you heading that direction since you’re not currently busy as a CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER AT ASHFORD MEDIA. of course i know that : you’ve lived in serendipity since APRIL 2020. people have a tendency of saying you’re SOPHISTICATED & AMBITIOUS but RUTHLESS & HARSH. you also really have the vibes of cartier bracelets, penthouse suites, an extensive christian louboutin collection & an icy glare. see you around !! ( buffy. 25. aest. she/her. )

TRIGGER WARNING for drugs & cheating.

STATS

name: madeline elizabeth ashford

age: 42 years old

occupation: COO ( chief operations officer ) at ashford media.

orientation: bisexual biromantic

marital status: married

children: none

siblings: hayden ashford, hayley ashford & two other siblings.

PRESENT DAY

being the ceo of ashford media is madeline’s dream. her eyes are firmly on that prize, but with the family’s patriarch not prepared to step down, she is currently the COO of the company. of course this isn’t something to be sneezed at, but is still actively preparing to one day take over ── she believes she is the only person capable to take that position when that time does come around. if it means she has to stab people in the back to get what she wants, she has no qualms in doing just that. her siblings should know better than to try and mess with her.

she currently lives in a lavish home with her husband (who she also suspects may be cheating on her). he wants to start a family as soon as possible but her career is all she’s focused on right now.

PERSONALITY

gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss

obsessive

fucking RUDE most of the time

she’s beauty, she’s grace and she’ll punch you in the face

superiority complex

very intelligent

witty

but basically just an absolute menace

MISC HEADCANONS

you can usually find madeline at her office or lantern dulling her career stresses with liquor.

habitual cocaine user & high-functioning addict but she hides it very well.

daddy issues AND mommy issues.

has an incessant need to upstage everyone.

had a fleeting modeling career as a teenager but she decided she preferred to be a person calling the shots.

character inspirations are jackie sharp (house of cards) & kendall roy (succession). i’ll probably add to this as we go along!

APPEARANCE

HAIR: her hair is currently brown and at a medium length. she was bleached blonde for a while but switched back to her natural shade in the last few months.

EYES: dark brown.

HEIGHT: 168cm, 5′6.

ATTIRE: she has very expensive taste ── she has to have designer everything. when she’s working, you can usually find her in figure-hugging pencil skirts, expensive silk blouses, dresses, coats, designer heels. her style is very much claire underwood meets samantha jones vibes.
