The '''{{Hero 5}}'s daughter''" is [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|The Legendary Hero]]'s twin sister in {{DQ5}}. She is eight years old at the beginning of the third generation and ten at the game's finale.

In English her default name is '''Madchen'''. In Japanese her default names are '''Annie''' (アニー) on the {{SNES}} and '''Tabatha''' (タバサ) on the [[Nintendo DS]]. In the ''[[Dragon Quest V CD Theater|CD Theater]]'' audio drama and official novelizations, her name is '''Poppy''' (ポピー) .

==Appearance and Personality==
Madchen's hair color is inherited from her mother and is worn in a bowl cut fixed with two green ribbons. She wears a white tunic that doubles as a dress, along with white gloves and boots with evergreen inner lining. Her over-sized cape is a light shade of purple and covers her sword as it drags behind her. Madchen's plain belt has a pouch fastened to it.

Madchen is the more focused and serious of the twins, but is just as prone to bouts of childish glee and wonderment as her brother is. She has the extra-sensory ability to read the emotions of animals and monsters, making her sympathetic to the friendlier monsters that suffer the association of their evil brethren and wishes there was a way for [[human]]s and monsters to live alongside one another as her father's tamed monsters do in [[Gotha]]. Though normally mature for her age, Madchen will not hesitate to ask her father to hold her hand when she is upset or frightened. Though she won't admit it, Madchen is a little jealous of her brother's status as The Legendary Hero and has a hard time seeing what "all the fuss is about" as she sees Parry as her brother first and world savior second.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Madchen was born with her twin brother in the castle town of [[Gotha]] shortly before her father was coronated as the king. However, their mother [[Bianca Whitaker]]/[[Nera Briscoletti]]/[[Debora Briscoletti]] was abducted by monsters during the rite of passage ceremony and their father went missing searching for his bride. Her nursemaid's quick thinking to hide the twins under their parents' bed was the only thing that saved them from being abducted along with their mother. Bereft of their parents, the siblings were raised by their remaining extended family and [[Sancho]].

Eight years later Madchen, along with her brother and [[Sancho]], finally located their petrified father after much searching. Using the [[Stolos' staff]], she was able to restore him to life. With The {{Hero 5}} recuperated, the twins journeyed with their father in search of their missing mother for a further two years. After rescuing their mother in [[Crocodilopolis]], she traveled with his father, mother, and brother into the underworld of [[Nadiria]] in search of his grandmother, [[Madalena]]. 

====Base stats====
Madchen can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Unlike her mother, she can also equip a [[Silver shield]]. She is principally a spellcaster, in particular learning ice and blast spells.

==={{DQ6}}===
Madchen makes a cameo in [[Reaper's Peak]] alongside her brother and Sancho in the {{Super Famicom}} Version, utilizing the {{NPC}} sprite for normal girls found in the game. In the {{DS}} and its later ports she appears with her proper sprite seen in the remake of {{V}} for the same handheld, and three versions of her appear to match the three potential brides: {{Bianca}}'s daughter is helping her run the [[inn]], {{Nera}}'s daughter is having a picnic outside, and {{Debora}}'s daughter is standing next to the well that leads to the [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest VI)|Fungeon]]. {{Bianca}}'s daughter has forgotten [[Saber]]'s name and asks the player to help her remember.

==={{DQMBRV}}===
Madchen is the avatar for female players and can equip a wider variety of gear than she can in her home game, with official art depicting her wielding a pair of [[Beast claw]]s and wearing [[Training togs]].

==={{DQR}}===
Madchen appears as a summonable hero in the game, with different cards showing off her various hair colors.

==={{Your Story}}===
Madchen does not appear in the film, with the Legendary Hero being an only child.

==Trivia==
*Madchen has acrophobia and will go so far as to walk with her eyes closed if in the party in a high area. Other times she will clutch on to her father and refuse to let go until the party descends.
*Both Madchen and {{Parry}} inherit their hair color from their mother (e.g. blonde hair as {{Bianca}}'s children).
*According to {{Parry}}, she is a picky eater. Her father is also implied to have this trait.
*Her full name in the CD drama and novels in Japanese is ポピレア・エル・シ・グランバニア - Popirea El Cie Granvania. Granvania is the Japanese name for [[Gotha]].
*There is a persistent misconception that Madchen can recruit monsters like her father. This is false and was likely spread due to the fact that The {{Hero 5}} can recruit monsters even while dead or in the wagon, and the in-game dialogue that describes the lass as being fond of {{MFamilies}}s and able to understand the feelings of animals.
:*A secondary rumor is that having her in the party doubles the chance for a {{MFamilies}} to rise up after [[Encounter|battle]], but this is also false.
