Overall personality:
Madelena is somewhat frozen at the age of seventeen, when she was sent to Azkaban and cut off from the rest of the world. It's not that she's insane - in fact she's quite smart - it's just that she doesn't have the experience of living outside of Hogwarts. She never even finished school.
She's incredibly naive when it comes to love, still believing that Amycus truly loves her and whatnot. She dreams of them getting out of Azkaban and finding their daughter and having this fairytail ending. She has booksmarts, though. Her jail cell is filled with various books on advanced potions and healing, deliriously hoping to continue her dream of becoming a healer when she's pardoned.[/color]

History: Madelena had a happy childhood, growing up around magic and horses - two of her favorite things. Her father bred and sold horses, both magical and normal, and would take her riding almost every day. Her mother didn't work, and spent most of her time in the garden, or else brushing up on her skills in the music room. Lena loved spending time with her, as well as with her sister, Rosa, who was three years younger.
It was easy to tell from a young age that she would go far. She was able to persuade anyone to do what she wanted with as little as a smile and had a passion for helping people. By all rights, neither of the Garwin girls would ever have to work a day in their lives. The money Hector got for his horses would keep the family going for generations. But shortly after Lena's eighth birthday, her beloved father got sick. He died a few months later, leaving the horses to her. It was what fueled her desire to become a healer.
With Carolyn taking over the business until Madelena was old enough, they lost a lot of money. By the time Lena was set to start Hogwarts, they'd started selling horses. It put a rift between her and her mother.
At Hogwarts, she was sorted into Slytherin, unlike the majority of her family, who were Ravenclaws. With the goal of being a healer fresh in her mind, she worked hard to excell at the necessary classes - especially charms. She certainly made time for her friends though, of which there were many. There were very few people who would admit to not liking Madelena.
She was a sixth year Prefect during the 1997 school year, when Severus Snape became Headmaster and enlisted the help of Amycus and Alecto Carrow. Madelena immediately felt a connection with Amycus, who taught the dark arts. She was older than most of the students in her year, and that had been a problem with her former boyfriends, but Amycus was older and more mature. She impressed him with her exceptional charm skills and managed to become his top student in no time.
It didn't take long for their relationship to move to the next level and she knew without a doubt that he loved her as much as she loved him. And with this love came the sacrifice of her joining his side when he asked. She didn't think much of it at the time. Not until Potter returned to the school on the first of May did Amycus ask anything else of Madelena. He asked her to fight with him, and once more she abandoned reason and did as he asked.
When the dark lord fell and the Death Eaters were captured, Madelena was among them. At seventeen years old, she was tried as an adult and sent to Azkaban. She was able to come back a short while later for medical treatment though. The Azkaban healing wing was extensive enough to handle most diseases and accidents, but not pregnancy. On the first of January, 1999, Madelena gave birth to twins girls at St. Mungo's, under heavy security. She was able to hold her daughters for only a moment, naming them Penelope Rosalyn Carrow and --, still madly in love with Amycus. She found out later, on her way back to prison, that the babies would not be raised under those names. They were to be put up for adoption and never told of their parentage.
Being reunited with not only her children, but Amycus too, has been what's kept Madelena from going insane these past twenty-two years.[/color]
