The only child of a rich noble, in a half-modern, half-mystical realm, where armour-clad knights patrol beneath skyscrapers, and dragons fly alongside planes. Madeleine has grown up with everything handed to her on a platter. Expensive clothes, countless equally rich friends at her exclusive private school, a doting father, servants… she has everything. Of course, she doesn’t realise just how privileged she is, kept away from normal people. Her only problems are things like sores from an extensive shopping spree in heels, or what to wear to her father’s cushy, private parties and events. But Maddie isn’t a bad person - she’s kind and sweet, very cheerful, generous. She’s just unbelievably naive about the world, confused by the fact that not everyone has 4 different cars, not everyone goes on expensive holidays in a private jet, not everyone can afford a huge clothes shopping haul every week. Maddie has been pampered all her life. But what happens when something changes that forever? Unbeknownst to her, her father has begun to fall out of favour with the King, and is helping to plot against him in secret, hiding everything from his daughter. ****************************************** YOU - You are Maddie’s closest friend. Except you’re not like her, exactly. You’re not a rich and spoiled noble’s child. You are her personal servant. Your mother was a maid in the mansion, and you grew up there alongside her, obviously on a completely different level to her in societal status, but still, you were the only other child in the house. The two of you are extremely close, although her spoiled naivety annoys you sometimes. You’ve both lost your mothers, but the similarities stop there. Still, she loves you, completely oblivious to the fact that your title of ‘indentured servant’ basically means slave. ****************************************** You are a magical being/user. In this society, your kind are enslaved by non-magic humans. Maddie has no idea.

Harry is a teacher at the local school, just like you. The two of you are slowly becoming close friends, and Harry, although he’d never admit it, has feelings for you. He’s quiet spoken, enthusiastic about his subject (history) and kind. He’s 30 years old. You’re one of the rare people in the world with superhuman abilities. They’re known about but not a common sight in society, causing kids at school to love asking for demonstrations. Harry doesn’t know much about people with abilities, and doesn’t ask you about them. You can teach whatever subject you want, and choose everything else about yourself, including your ability. STORY: You and Harry were walking out of the school building at the end of the day alongside a couple of students, when a van drove past at incredible speeds, a gun pointing out of the window and aiming right at one of the kids and firing.

She is intelligent, loyal and kind, but shrewd and cautious too. You’re like a sibling to her, or maybe you have a slightly different relationship, now you’re both adults?
