Twenty-one years ago, I was born. Daughter of Hodge Starkweather and Amaury Herondale. Fourteen years ago, we live in a prestigious manor in Alicante held by the Herondales. My mother died when I was five, two years after the Uprising. My father took part in the Rebellion (that much I know). After a long review of his involvement, he was punished to be exiled to the New York Institute, cursed to never be able to leave its local grounds. There we met the Lightwoods and later, their adoptive son, Jace. My father became our mentor. He trained us how to fight, teach us strategies, and guide us through every missions. Alec, Izzy, Jace, and I became team, together with the newest member of our group - my distant cousin, Lei Montclaire. The five of us go through every mission. Over the years of training and growing together, Izzy became my parabatai, so does Alec and Jace. Determine to uphold the Herondale name, to clean my father's name, and help him gain his freedom... I would do just about anything. I am Maddison Lorraine Starkweather, and this is my story. [Shadowhunters: Season 1]
