Meet the Characters

Main Characters

She is blonde with blue eyes and of French descent as she was born in Canada. She dresses in preppy clothing and has long, wavy hair. She can be sometimes described as arrogant and a know-it-all. Occasionally, her friends will accuse her of lying. Madeline is also a big flirt. Plus, she is like the glue that keeps her friends all together. During her junior year, she became student body president.
Lizzie Duvall has been friends with Madeline the longest. Her friends like to call her Liz and Doll. She is seen as the least brightest of her friends. She is Swiss-Italian with dark brown hair and brown eyes. She likes to dress in skimpy clothing such as mini skirts and crop tops along with high heels (She is what the Barbie doll would be if Barbie were real!). Her parents have no idea that she dresses this way as she hides her clothes in her car and her friends' cars and put them on once she gets to school. Despite her lack of intelligence and choice of wardrobe, Lizzie is very sweet, innocent and romantic. She is proudly abstinent and will only date people who respect her. During her junior year, she became a cheerleader.

She has brown, curly hair with green eyes and fake tan skin. She is sassy, fearless and strong. She is known to get into a lot of fights due to her "anger issues".
