Madeline is a Chilton student and oldest friend of Paris Geller. Along with Louise Grant, she helps Paris intimidate Rory in the early episodes when Paris was threatened by Rory's presence. She has short brunette hair and is rather dim, but reasonably friendly. She drops out of college after graduating Chilton and spends most of her time with her friend Louise Grant. Though initially hostile to Rory, as the series progresses, she, Rory, Louise and Paris all become better friends - or at least lesser enemies. She never seems to hate Rory and doesn't understand why they are mad at her half the time. She also frequently forgets when she is or is not supposed to be nice and friendly towards Rory in the first and second season.
