Madison Cruz

Madison Cruz is a character appearing in Gundam Build Fighters - Regulation E. She is an orphan who was taken in by Hanako Shiroyama and a member of the Rising Ravens who quickly befriends Shino Kennedy while the two are training with the former serving as their mentor.

Personality
A cheerful and optimistic teenager. Madison respects her friends and allies like she would with her late parents, she also has a ditzy nature much like that of Shino's. Nevertheless, she is respected among her peers despite being a newcomer to Gunpla battles.

Before she met Ash and his group of friends, Madison became a shy, reserved, and depressed girl who preferred being alone and suffered bouts of panic attacks due to the death of her parents and the robbery of her house. She felt uneasiness until her life changed completely after she met them as the new friends she made will often hang out with her whenever they go out.

She is also a friendly and social girl who loves to make new friends and acquaintances as she quickly befriended Shino due to the latter being Ash's adopted sister and her mentor Hanako.

Appearance
Madison appears to be rather short but mature for her age. She has long white hair complete with a frilled hairband on top that has two butterflies. She also has purple eyes and thick eyebrows.

Her usual clothes consist of a black and white dress with a black corset that has a heart symbol and thigh-high heeled black boots with white soles. She is also seen wearing a black and white kimono or a shrine maiden uniform whenever she is at the Shiroyama Family Shrine.

Early Days
Madison was born in the United States. Her father was a veteran in the United States army while her mother was a housewife who often took care of her while her father was away. She considers Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz and the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero to be her favorites, promiting her parents to buy her a high grade model kit for the Endless Waltz version of the aforementioned mobile suit for her fifth birthday.

At the age of sixteen, her house was robbed while she was at school. The assailants stole everything but the stuff the belong to Madison, such as her Wing Zero gunpla, her Gundam video games, and her Gundam DVD collection. Her parents were murdered alongside while the robbery took place, as she cried in front of their dead bodies as she got home from school.

Rising Ravens
Following the death of her parents and the arrest of the suspects, Madison was found abandoned and alone by Aoi Shiroyama before she left for Japan with her boyfriend Ash Kennedy, Jake Zimmerman, and their foreign exchange friend Shizuka Amane and her sister Hitomi Amane to participate in the Gunpla Grand Prix. Upon browsing her room, Aoi notices that she is a fan of Gundam Wing due to her owning a HGAC 1/144 Wing Zero Custom figurine that was found in her shelf.

The five friends agreed to bring Madison along with them when they booked their flight to Japan in the coming weeks. Madison gained interest in Gunpla battles and the Grand Prix itself, as she modified and recolored her treasured gunpla with her own modifications as she dedicates it in the memory of her late parents.
