Physical characteristics: Black hair, green eyes; slight French accent that becomes more noticeable when she is upset or excited.

Home: Born in southern France to the comte and comtesse de Loubressac; has lived with the Stauntons since she was five.
Madeleine Vaillant was smuggled out of France by a loyal nursemaid at the height of the Reign of Terror. Her parents sent her to stay with the Stauntons, their closest English friends, and apparently lost their lives to the guillotine. With the continued warfare in France, she has never been able to return to her native home, although dreams of her childhood still haunt her. She hides her sadness well, and most people find her to be cheerful and agreeable. She and Amelia Staunton share a sister-like bond, but Amelia’s marriage will force her to reconsider her life.
