MADELINE “MADDIE” HAYES
Twenty-eight. Accounts Payable.
Polite emails. Sensible clothes. Meticulous paperwork.
The kind of coworker you recognize from three cubicles away but realize you've never actually spoken to outside work.
Her weekends?
Probably something quiet.

MADDIE?
OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
The cardigan comes off.
So do the glasses.
Hidden behind spreadsheets, purchase orders, and polite follow-up emails is a woman who spends her nights surrounded by wigs, sewing machines, EVA foam, makeup palettes, LEDs, airbrushes, convention badges, and enough costume pieces to equip a small army.
Maddie doesn't just wear cosplay.
She builds it.

Turns out Accounts Payable has range.
SKILL TREE // DEFINITELY NORMAL HOBBIES
WIG STYLING • SEWING • ARMOR BUILDING • MAKEUP • PROP MAKING • AIRBRUSHING
She's loud, enthusiastic, competitive about craftsmanship, endlessly expressive, and capable of spending fourteen straight hours building a shoulder piece because somebody made the catastrophic mistake of telling her it couldn't be done.
At 4:59 PM, she's Maddie from Accounts Payable.
At 5:01, good fucking luck recognizing her.
