Magda is the best friend of Ellie and Nadine in the Girls Series.
Appearance[]
Characteristics[]
Magda is tallish and quite well developed for her age. She is fair skinned with blue eyes, and has straight hair that is naturally mouse, but at some point before she met Ellie and Nadine, she dyed it a bright blonde. In the book Girls under Pressure, she cuts it shorter and temporarily switched back to her natural colour, before having it cut even shorter in layers and dying it a scarlet red to match a furry coat she has.
Attire[]
Magda wears school uniform consisting of a sweatshirt, blouse and skirt. Out of school she wears tight fitting tops and jeans or skirts with to show off her figure. When swimming in Girls Under Pressure, she wore a bright red Lycra swimming costume, and had matching bright red waterproof lipstick.
Personality[]
Magda is very bright and bold. She likes attention, particularly from boys, and acts very flirty around them. She comes across as very spoiled, as she is the younger child, and gets new expensive stuff a lot. However, she cares very much about her friends Ellie and Nadine, viewing them as her best friends, and trusting them completely with secrets.
Trivia[]
- Magda's bold and attractive appearance lead to attention for the wrong reasons that scared her in Girls Under Pressure, which lead to her cutting her hair shorter and (temporarily) dyeing it back to her natural colour, and well as wearing older, plain clothes.
- She later reverted to her usual self (with new red dyed hair), realising that it was the boys who'd obviously had the problem - she'd not in any way given them that impression, so it was them who would have read things into it that aren't there.
- Ellie and Nadine met Magda in the first year of Secondary School.
- Magda had a hamster named Fudge, who passed away in the book Girls In Tears.
- In the Girls Series books, Magda is white skinned, whereas in the TV adaptation she is mixed race.
- Magda likes the animatronic teddy bear display in the Flowerfields Shopping Centre.
- Ellie jokingly said that Magda looked like a teddy in her red furry jacket, and that if she wasn’t careful they’d stick her next to Tubby Christmas (the teddy bear Father Christmas) and have her singing Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer.
- Magda has an older brother.
