Madeline: Difference between revisions

* Upon Celeste's release, especially after [[Farewell]] has been introduced, a huge amount of curiousity has grown about the possibility of Madeline being a transgender woman. This has officially been [https://maddythorson.medium.com/is-madeline-canonically-trans-4277ece02e40 confirmed] on a ''Medium'' blog post by [[Maddy Thorson]], on the 6th of November, 2020.

** In the blog post, Maddy also explains on how the development of them and the character has gone through changes, as well as explaining that her gender identity was purposefully been shown very subtly to give Madeline and the trans community respect without it feeling forcefully shown, as well as they realising over time that they've been writing a trans narrative all along. They also wanted to be sure everyone is able to relate to the story without feeling alienated.

** The consistent usage of mirrors as a theme, visualisation of Badeline, Madeline's reaction to taking selfies, and the hidden lament in the Mirror Temple theme can be seen as references to common struggles of trans people dealing with gender dysphoria.

* Many emojis about ''Celeste'' are Madeline emojis. Even though many are based directly on expressions she shows in the game. others consist simply of something completely unrelated with Madeline's hair stamped on top. The most notable example of this is [[Frogeline]].
