| Maddy grew up in the Coal Region of northeast Pennsylvania, the only daughter of a coal miner and a housewife. She grew to love the wild spaces because of the beauty of the mountains where she lived, and to hate the way the modern world ground people under the heel of its boot because of the loss of her father to a mining accident when she was young. After a life of watching her mother waste away physically and spiritually trying to make ends meet, Maddy lost her too, not a year after she left for Philadelphia to go to college.
That loss was what pushed her further toward a rejection of the modern world's uncaring exploitation, both of the people that filled it and the resources that made it up. That struggle was what lead to her Awakening, and ultimately is what lead her to the Walkers in Mists, though unlike many of her Legacy she doesn't reject the modern world completely. Instead, she works to find ways to mesh the stone and steel of humanity's new world with the sustainable coexistence of ages past.
She also cooks a mean waffle.

- Auntie Dandy - You have so much to offer to those of us who are willing to listen, and I know I owe you much more attention than I pay. Sorry.
- Hearth - You're the first person I go to any time I have a new recipe idea, or want to share something I saw online.
- Jay - You let me know if you need me to pick things up for your cafe while I'm abroad. I'll make it happen.
- Kay - I know I'm not the best student when it comes to languages. I blame the sad state of the American educational system.
- Lux - I can't believe how confidently you can make death-defying leaps, if you don't know just know you can teleport to safety.
- Mary - Our mutual love for seeing things grow and thrive means I'm almost always happy for your company.
- Moira - Best of luck with your new job! I hope you come visit and tell me of your great success.
- Myra - You and I both understand that even in the city, the land could be so much more productive.
- Master Ecgberht - Riverbank chats and companionably quiet gardening are things worth coming back to Philadelphia for.

Nomad - Maddy has been a lot of places over the years and travels widely even still, now that she's "settled down" in Philadelphia. If you want to say that she passed through whatever part of the world your character is from at one point or another in the last ten or so years, and that they met then even if it was brief, then perfect.
Guerilla Agriculture - With a talent for finding hidden places where things can grow in urban environments, Maddy is fond of productive gardening in places where most people wouldn't expect food to grow. Abandoned lots, derelict rooftops, and other places like that are good places to find her and/or one of her gardens. She uses her gardens as a way to provide healthy food to people who might otherwise have trouble obtaining it.
Urban Explorer - Finding places to set up community gardens means looking for them in the first place, and Maddy spends a lot of time exploring the urban landscape and getting to know what's where. For other people who like to explore the run down and forgotten, there's always a chance of running into each other.
Sustainable Living - Maddy's whole deal is looking for ways to blend the traditional and the modern, particularly when it comes to ways of living. The biggest focus for her is working on ways to make the modern world function without slowly destroying itself, as well as bringing the natural world that was here before people where and the artificial world they've created together, coexisting in the same spaces.
Wanna Bet? - Maddy is fond of games of chance, or just random wagers about things. Playing the odds with an Acanthus might not seem like the best idea, but they aren't the only ones who can meddle with the odds, and some people are also gluttons for punishment.
Mist Delver - As a part of her Legacy, Maddy is far better in tune with the Mists, one of the nearest Emanations to the Fallen World, and she takes a great interest in the visions and prophecies that can be gleaned from the half-substantial potential within it.
Maddy's Waffle House - Where better for a bunch of supernatural creatures from every group under the sun to get together than a diner? With the possible exception of vampires just about everyone likes food. Maddy's is a neutral ground that can only be found by people who are acceptable to the supernatural community on the whole as people that can be let in on secrets. It's essentially impossible to find the door to Maddy's unless you're allowed to enter, and entry is conditional on both agreement with the rules of the neutral ground, and with having followed them.

| Long-Term Nimbus:
Low lying fog rolls in any time it makes sense for the weather, and sometimes it seems like images and figures can be seen by not quite made out, swirling within those mists. There's also a sense of the road not yet walked, and the potential to be found at the end of it.
Immediate Nimbus:
Spacetime itself seems to become hazy and insubstantial, an overlap of all potentialities blurring together. (Tilt: 8-again Occult, +3 Composure, +2 Resolve, +1 Wits)
Signature Nimbus:
A thousand possible states overlap on each other at once, making things look as though any of them could solidify into reality at any time.
