Sister Madalithea is an acolyte of Hades from the temple Meténeion and central protagonist of Flower of the Underworld and House of the Underworld and one of the founders of the Cult of Persephone. She has asthma, and is in a relationship with Cedalion of the Cerberus Cadre.

Appearance

Madalithea is slight in build, with striking red hair, uncustomary among the faithful of Hades, who traditionally blacken their locks in devotion. Her eyes are soil brown. She wears the vestments of Meténeion and a golden colored cypress pendant as both symbol of faith and signifier as a woman who made her own gender.

Personality

Self-deprecating, sincere, and prone to anxiety in unscripted social situations. Her speech is formal and confident in ceremonial contexts, where she has long excelled; in personal conversations she falters and stammers under stress. Socially, she tends to misread friendly pressure as coercion, anticipates rejection with pre-emptive self-destruction, and is prone to shame spirals she has difficulty talking herself out of. In her best moments—she is funny, warm, and capable of defiant joy.

Madalithea enjoys baking and frequently does so for her Sisters and Cedalion.
