- I would like to explore the option of having a professional photographer take the senior class photos. Every year we use that cheesy picture place, and every year people wind up with those VH1 'Before They Were Stars' pictures, and I for one would like to stop the humiliation now

Story[]
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.
Although the two hang out with Paris, they're not exactly alike as Madeline and Louise don't put a lot of thought into their college applications or future, but merely set out to enjoy themselves in their parents' vision of what their lives should be. Despite these differences however, she and Louise were fiercely loyal to Paris, begrudging or willingly following her lead in schooling and personal, including shunning Rory whenever the two had a falling out.
Upon graduating Chilton, Madeline heads to Mills College (women's college in Oakland) as that was the only place she got into. However, she later says that she hadn't even unpacked her shoes by the time she dropped out.
