Born: Madilynn Gearwyn

She is the granddaughter of Professor Cogglepotts and a fiercely intelligent 9 year old with an adventurous spirit and knack for deciphering cryptic codes. Bright-eyed, curious, and endlessly courageous, Madilynn Gearwyn is one of the youngest inventors ever to wander the cobbled streets of Whimbrassel. With a mind that hums like a finely tuned gear and a heart full of wonder, Madilynn sees magic in every puff of steam and every ticking cog inside her grandfather’s workshop.

Madilynn is known throughout town for her brilliant ideas, quick problem-solving, and her unique ability to spot patterns others miss. Whether she’s decoding clues hidden in the Chronoglass, helping Professor Cogglepotts repair a misbehaving invention, or exploring forgotten corners of the Curiositorium, she brings a spark of hope and determination wherever she goes.

Despite challenges, Madilynn faces each day with fierce resilience, kindness, and creativity. She believes that every invention begins with a dream, every mystery has a solution, and every friend has the power to change the world.

With her signature steampunk goggles (slightly too big for her head) and her loyal clockwork raven Corvus often fluttering nearby, Madilynn Gearwyn reminds readers everywhere that heroes come in all sizes… especially the small, mighty, imaginative kind.
