Madison, who is in her late teens, is an athletic college cheerleader who is in the process of pledging a sorority. Unlike her feminist sister, Madison strives to always fit in. Her power is hearing other's thoughts.

Of the original "Charmed" cast, Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper, hasn't held back her feelings about the new TV series.
On Wednesday the former "Charmed" star tweeted, “I have no words……. I mean I have a lot of words but at this juncture… sure…… yeah ……… We Wish Them Well …………..”
But this isn't the first time the actress slammed the new "Charmed."
On Jan. 26, Combs shared a series of tweets in regards to the new series that were not exactly sincere. Though she originally wished them well, Combs later backtracked her well-wishing to the show's new cast and tweeted a statement saying that the new "Charmed" would ultimately not compare to what the original was.
“Here’s the thing. Until you ask us to rewrite it like Brad Kern did weekly don’t even think of capitalizing on our hard work. Charmed belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye.”
The CW's casting for the new "Charmed" is still in the works.
