Madeline is a fictional character who serves as the main protagonist of the video game Celeste by Maddy Thorson. Throughout the game, she climbs the titular Mount Celeste, simultaneously dealing with anxiety and other issues. The character is notable as one of the few transgender protagonist characters in the video game industry: her gender identity as a trans woman was confirmed by Thorson in 2020, after the release of Farewell, a downloadable content expansion pack for Celeste, which received significant media coverage. Concept and creation The concept of Badeline—a physical representation of Madeline's depression and anxiety, known as "Part of Me" in-game—as well as the premise of taking care of one's self, was based on creator Maddy Thorson's own experiences. She cites Madeline's dealings with the character Mr. Oshiro as an example, where she sacrifices her own self-care to care for someone else. Thorson wrote Madeline with the understanding that she would fall off the mountain and eventually climb her way back up, but she did not know how it would be framed. Thorson came to understand how to frame the scene better once she came to better manage her own anxiety. She notes how the story has Madeline initially trying to fight Badeline, and that over time she learns how to function with it. Thorson notes, however, that this is a part of a process, and that she wanted to make players aware that Madeline was still grappling with an internal conflict at the end of the story. The music of Celeste was designed by Lena Raine, who composed the music with the main intention of conveying Madeline's feelings, saying it's "almost 1:1 with her internal state." Raine discussed how Madeline's journey is one of "self-discovery and acceptance". She intended this to help players get into Madeline's state of mind. Appearances Madeline appears in Celeste, where she serves as the game's protagonist. She is climbing Mount Celeste, all the while dealing with issues such as anxiety and depression. She meets several characters along the way, including an older woman who calls herself Granny, an explorer from Seattle called Theo, a part of herself called Badeline, and a spirit named Mr. Oshiro who owns a decrepit hotel. As she climbs the mountain, she runs into various obstacles, including Badeline, who attempts to deter her from climbing any further. Madeline helps Theo through Mr.
