Madeline is a short, young Canadian woman with pale skin, purple-ish eyes, and long, thick ruby hair, always tumbling down her back in soft waves, with a signature wayward curl that refuses to behave. She wears an aqua snow jacket, dark grey pants, and black and grey walking boots—her tried-and-true climbing outfit. Strapped to her back is a brown climbing backpack, fitted with a red sleeping mat and a plastic water bottle, well-worn from long hikes and cold nights.
