[edit] Background

Maddie is a sixteen-year-old who lives in Boston, Massachusetts across the street from Fenway Park. She works as a candy counter girl at the Tipton Hotel, though she isn't paid much (ex. she doesn't get paid overtime as said in The Ghost of 613). She lives with her parents, brother, and grandmother in a rundown apartment building. She is passionate, very intelligent and dresses casually, often in her Catholic school's uniform. Most of the time she is wearing her Tipton Hotel uniform. Maddie has a kind personality (although she has been known to be very sarcastic), and a gentle nature. She is middle-class, neither rich or impoverished, the exact opposite of her best friend, London Tipton. Maddie is sometimes bribed and treated as a servant by London, but she still values their friendship deep down. She is often very cynical and doubtful at times.

She is a strong supporter of environmental causes and she has dreamed of going to Paris, ever since she planned to go there for her parents' 25th anniversary. She wants to go to law school and is the Tipton's temporary day care worker. Maddie is part Irish and is afraid of Evil Leprechauns. Zack often calls her "sweet thang". London's present step-mom, Brandi Tipton, (as seen in "What the Hey?") seems to love Maddie and doesn't mind when Maddie calls her "mom", though London refuses to. Maddie appears in every episode except for "Loosely Ballroom".

Maddie has asthma, as revealed in "Kisses & Basketball," and is the lead singer of a band named Water Works. She is friends with Raven Baxter from That's So Raven and Hannah Montana (but not Miley Stewart) from Hannah Montana. Her outfit is different from the one in the first few episodes, which is gold in coloring.

[edit] Relationships

Maddie has had many crushes but none of them seem to work out:

She dated Lance, the Tipton's pool lifeguard, but soon dumps him because of his obsession with water. (She stated that after talking to him for an hour, she had to go to the bathroom really bad.)
Chuck is her second boyfriend, but broke up with Maddie because of the nasty rumor London spread about Maddie and Lance getting back together.
She had a crush on a senior named Jeff, who thinks her only a little child.
Trevor (played by Zac Efron), a visiting merit scholar, seems to like her since they were seen kissing at the end of "Odd Couples" (although they both said they hated each other).
She likes a boy named Kirk in "Twins at the Tipton", but ended up having to go out with the nerdy twin because she thought that he would be as cute as his brother.
In "Maddie Checks In", she likes a rich boy who is never mentioned again.
Randall and Zack both have a crush on Maddie, but Maddie doesn't reciprocate their feelings. She does promise to dance with Zack at his prom in "A Prom Story."
In "Big Hair & Baseball", Maddie goes on a date with a boy named Gavin, who has a tendency to sweat when he is nervous. The date went well, but is never mentioned again.
In "Ah! Wilderness!" she goes out with London's ex-boyfriend but it causes a rift between the two.

[edit] Family

She has a grandmother from Oregon and one staying at her house who likes to limbo in her pajamas, the latter shown in "Day Care" and "Poor Little Rich Girl" and the former shown in "Not So Suite 16".

Her father's name is Irving Fitzpatrick. Her trademark tie which complements her uniform at the Tipton is her father's from whom she got the idea as revealed in "Pilot Your Own Life".

Mr. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick's faces were never shown but they are always arguing. However in "Not So Suite 16" we do see silouettes of them behind frosted glass.

She also has a brother named Liam (nicknamed "Booger") who appears only in "Not So Suite 16" although his antics are seen off-camera in "Day Care". He is obnoxious, loudmouthed, and in his Oregon grandmother's words, "a dork".

Her mom used to like to listen to country star Robby Ray until she thought he died, as seen in the Hannah Montana crossover episode "On the Road Again".

Maddie's mom's idea of bonding is cleaning out fishheads and making finger puppets out of them revealed in "What the Hey".

Her sister used to live with her but she got married and moved. She also has a dog named Scamp as seen in "Poor Little Rich Girl".

Maddie's family is Irish and they believe that some leprechauns are evil, revealed in "Books & Birdhouses".
