Madeline Delaire (pronounced Mad-uh-lynn) is the daughter of Ted and Angela, and the child who Emmy is tasked with helping care for.

Character summary[edit source]

Personality[edit source]

Madeline is a bright[1] and rambunctious[2] child who dislikes mornings[3] and likes being creative.[4] She can some French and plays the piano.[5]

Relationships[edit source]

Madeline is friends with all of the Hawthorn Grove children and rides the trolley to school with them every day.[6] She also invited them all over to her 8th birthday party. [7]

Madeline loves both of her parents very much, and rushes to meet Ted when he comes home from work.[1][4]

Madeline also has a very close bond with Emmy, who she treats like family and enjoys playing and spending time with.[8]

Biography[edit source]

Living with Emmy[edit source]

While working for Sterling Robotics, Ted purchased Emmy as a Christmas gift for his family.[9] Emmy helped care for and raise Madeline for four years.[3]

The birthday incident[edit source]

During Madeline's 8th birthday party, Emmy malfunctions and involuntarily sprayed her birthday cake with fire retardant after seeing its sparkler candles, destroying it. Her father Ted attempted to stop Emmy, but she sprayed him as well.[10] While initially heartbroken at having her cake destroyed and not being able to make her wish, Madeline still forgives Emmy for the incident[11] and eagerly awaits Emmy's return[12] and even makes her a get-well-soon card.[4]

Emmy's disappearance[edit source]

Nearly two weeks after Emmy first went into Sterling, Madeline overhears her parents talking about Emmy's disappearance and conveys it to the other Nandroids.[13] Later, she is informed of the cover story that Sterling made for Ted, that Emmy was accidentally sent to Switzerland.[14] As she is complaining about this turn of events to her friends, she and Corbin get into a fight after Corbin suggests Emmy is defective[15] causing her to get into trouble from her parents,[16] showing the effect that not having Emmy is having on her.

Behind the scenes[edit source]

Madeline's name is taken from the series originally created by Ludwig Bemelmans, as Dominic Cellini loved the cartoon as a child.[17] The pronunciation of her name is different from her namesake due to confusion from Cellini on how it was supposed to be pronounced.[18] Her and her families design likely came out fully formed because they are based in common White Anglo-Saxon Protestants archetypes.[19]

Trivia[edit source]

  • Madeline is allergic to shellfish and has moderate asthma.[20]
  • Her birthday is September 18th,[20] but was originally April 18th, the same day as Dominic's father's birthday. It was retconned due to a story change.[21]
  • Her first appearance is in chapter 13.[20]
