CHARACTER VISION:What attracted me to this character (aside from the fact that she is desperately needed), was the unlimited amount of development that this character has. There can be tons of reasons why she is promiscuous, aside from just falling into a habit. Her inferiority complex has an origin. And as a writer who plans on making this character mine, it is my job to find out why and work it in perfectly with the kind of person she is. I've never played a slutty character before therefore it is a massive challenge for me that I am more than willing to accept. It is playing a person that is completely opposite from me and that makes it all the more fun.
Maddy was born Amanda Lee Black. Born and raised in Long Island, NY, she grew up in a closed minded community. She grew up from a good family, her father a real estate agent and her mother a loan officer for a major bank. Therefore money was always available to and for her. Maddy grew up as a tomboy, playing softball and soccer since she was nine. She tried to do ballet classes as well, however she was rather clumsy in being graceful. Sports seemed to be her thing and so it stuck. Once she reached puberty at twelve however, Maddy started getting a lot of attention from boys. She began to hang out with girly girls and began to care about what she looked like. It was then she began to see what members of the opposite sex saw and being athletic made her that more determined to stay in shape and be attractive.
Maddy was more than looks of course. She was good in school, enjoyed politics and being involved with school events. It was why she joined the cheerleading team and softball team during her freshman year. She was such a good sport and team player with dedication, that during her sophomore year she became captain of the softball team and then head cheerleader in her junior year. She was also elected Student Council President during the beginning of her junior year. Her parents were extremely proud of her and Maddy always enjoyed having something to do. She was never bored during her high school career and she was fairly popular and liked by most. And then it all got taken away...
When it comes to Maddy's development, I was thinking about a suitable reason for her chemistry grades to fail which in turn made her willingly sleep with her teacher. She was High School Student Council President, Head Cheerleader, and Captain of the Softball Team. To me this shows that she has proactive and productive goals that for whatever reason(s), has vanished. So the question is why? A practical reason would be a traumatic life event: during her junior year of high school (when this scandal happened), she was raped at a party from a boy she didn't know (yes I got the idea from Degrassi if you wanted to know- it seemed fitting).
She couldn't tell her parents since she felt such shame that their perfect angel was no longer perfect. The anger she had and disgust she had in herself and the bastard that did this to her, made her loath herself even more. Maddy began to feel worthless and therefore didn't really care about the fact that her virginity was stolen from her. Now that that issue was out of the way, she could explore the "fun" side of sex and did.
Due to her mind being distracted, her grades began to fail. Her chemistry grades, a subject she was very good in, began to drop and her teacher was concerned. He was young, in his late 20s and single. When she began to see a window of opportunity in raising her GPA, a little bit of flirting led to the two being intimate in his office. Afterward, Maddy felt horrible. And her hatred for herself grew further. In confidence, she told her best friend Angela about what had happened and swore she wouldn't tell a soul. The next day, everyone in the school knew. People would glare at Maddy wherever she walked. Boys would approach her asking her for a good time whenever she could. One boy even smacked her ass as she walked towards her locker. She was humiliated and embarrassed. Naturally the school had to make an investigation out of the rumor and Maddy came clean immediately. Her chemistry teacher on the other hand, denied it and claimed she tried to seduce him since her grades started to decrease. Since there wasn't any solid evidence, the teacher was transferred to another school while Maddy was able to remain. After a week however, the teasing and disrespect was unbearable and Maddy couldn't dream of going to another school and starting over. Her parents convinced her to do home schooling and she agreed entirely.
Her interest in fashion designing didn't start until she started her home schooling. She watched a lot of television and began thinking of ideas for outfits that she wanted to wear. Slowly buy surely, she realized she had a passion for clothing and fashion all together, someone completely different from how she was. Another opportunity came, and that was to be something different from the person she knew, and since she was good at it, she applied to NYU to major in fashion designing. When she was accepted, everything fell into place. Maddy was able to somewhat find herself again, this time as a fashion designer major in NYU. She found herself designing and making clothes in her dorm room and partying way more than she ever did back in Long Island. She was still ambitious but in a different way. She was able to manipulate people into doing whatever she wanted and needed. She was a new species of social butterflies and got much attention from men instead of boys like in high school. She slept with practically any guy she found attractive and learned how to enjoy the fun of sex rather than the personal intimacy. She became a sexual wild child and started embracing it than shunning it. She became an avid smoker as well. This was the new her and she learned how to live with that. Deep down in her mind though, on rare nights where she feels alone and vulnerable, she still hates herself for what she has become.
Now that she is on the island, Maddy has the ability to either find herself or go deeper into her dark self. Only events on the island will be able to aid her in her personal battles. Until then, she must survive like everyone else, and do anything she can to do so. In the meantime, she can have some fun with men who are lucky enough to be near her.
'WHO'S WHO?' BLURB:Meet Maddy Black. Sexy, smart and sassy, this social butterfly knows how to have a good time. Although landing on the island has been nothing but torture, Maddy is able to adapt quickly to situations and make the best out of it. She is a sexual animal and loves to joke around even during serious situations. She has already slept with several men on the island, but there is more to her than just looks and getting what she wants. The question is, will she ever be able to accept what has happened in her past and stop using it as an excuse for her actions? Will she better herself or continue on this self loathing downward spiral? Only the Island will help her decide.
WRITTEN AUDITION:[/blockquote][/size]The feeling that one gets when your heart is literally being swallowed by your stomach, is not a pleasant one. With that comes adrenaline coursing through your veins, your eyes dilating the necessary size for survival. A surge of energy races through your body making you feel and seem invincible. It was a feeling that Maddy Black was used to. However not under the present conditions. She was swimming. But not in a pool or nearby shore on a beach. She was almost half a mile away from shore, kicking as fast as she could to reach land. To reach life. She couldn't remember what had happened on the plane, but she did know that she was possibly the only survivor. Something wrong had happened, but she just couldn't understand or think about it then. She needed to get to the sand, away from the water that seemed to be consuming her farther to sea instead of closer to land.
She was mentally confused and exhausted, but her body kept on paddling. Her athletically fit body was nowhere near tired and instincts took over while her head remained throbbing with a headache. Closer and closer she wished she was to shore, and as she almost felt like giving up, she felt waves beginning to form around her. It was then that her mind clicked. Without hesitation and much gratitude, Maddy swam faster and faster as a wave began to form behind her. She then let her body be carried into the shore, riding the wave as her now exhausted body grew limp. As she swallowed one last deep breath, she allowed the wave to carry her, only this wave was a bit too big and strong to her liking. She opened her eyes to see if her plan was working, to see if she could see the shore to be only several feet away. But the wave broke and crashed on top of her, making her body roll and tumble within the strong current.
She resumed using her limbs to swim to the surface and as she did, another wave broke on top of her, sending her back down. She needed air, that wonderful sweet gas of oxygen. It was only a matter of time before her lungs would begin burning and she would have no choice but the instinctively breath in whether it was pure air or not. She swam up to the surface again, and was able to inhale quickly. She could see the shore was much closer than before and she was right in using mother nature to aid her. Maddy kicked and paddled again, this time ducking underneath the water whenever she looked back to see a wave breaking nearby. During one final paddle, she found herself struggling as a current was sucking her back in. No... she thought. This can't be it... I can't be dying now... But it seemed that what her destiny. As she was being pulled back in, a wave formed behind her again and she felt her body being tossed around like a rag doll. She had no more hope, no more reason to try. She was going to die and she was oddly compliant with it. With one last breath, Maddy closed her eyes and accepted her fate. The wave consumed her and crashed towards the shore....
She felt her body pulse with pain and Maddy couldn't help but yelp in horror as she saw her leg bleed. A piece of corral was stuck in her thigh which also sliced up from her knee during her trip in the wave. It was more than painful as the salt residue all over her body poured into the open wound. She couldn't contain the pain and she moaned and cried. "Help," she screamed, only it was really a whisper. "Someone PLEASE!" No one was going to come and she knew this. She was the only survivor and she had to find a way to stop the bleeding. Her body felt weak, and she could feel her head getting faint. She ripped off a section of her soaking wet day dress and tried to wrap it around her leg. It seemed impossible as she couldn't close her hands tight enough around the fabric. She was loosing blood quickly and she began to sway on the sand. She didn't know it until she woke up again later, that she fainted and nearly died...
(left it open so someone on the island could have found her and taken her to jay- hope you like it)
