Description I thought about creating Olivia's (also Genevieve's) mother, and Hiram Flaversham's wife, her name was Madeleine Fleur Flaversham (nee Chastin) 

Madeleine was born in 1854 in Paris, France; to an upper class family as her father ruled the government, and the youngest of seven daughters (Magnolia, Maia, Marcella, Marian, Mariette, and Matilda). She was gullible, wanting to be with a man she truly loves and find adventure, despite her parents' strict by loving orders to marry and have children. When she was around 18, she was engaged to a British rat gentleman at a ball and they hit it off. But later on she discovered that her fiancé was actually a criminal, by drowning widows, orphans, and killing other innocent mice, was after their government and money. She called off the engagement, her parents mysteriously died the next day after refusing to believe her, forcing Madeleine and her sisters to flee from France to different countries across Europe to hide. However the sisters kept in contact through letters.

In 1874, she would later on come to meet a simple middle class toymaker mouse named Hiram Flaversham, after saving her from a group of thugs. They fell in love and four years later, they married and had two daughters, Genevieve (b. 1880) and Olivia (b. 1890). The family later on moved to London, so Hiram could start his toy store business and became a success.

Fourteen years later, (Genevieve was 14, and Olivia was 4) tragedy struck, Madeleine soon began to cough up blood as her respiratory system was failing (known as tuberculosis). She spend a lot of time in bed, as her health was failing and the doctor said she had two months to live. Hiram, Genevieve, and Olivia continued on in their daily lives as nothing was wrong, because it was Madeleine's last wish. 

In her final night alive, Madeleine called both of her daughters to her and Hiram's room, lying in her death bed, Genevieve took her mother's paw into her own, clutching it tight as tears rolled down her face. Olivia stood by her sister, knowing that she wouldn't see her mother again. Madeleine gave both her daughters, a final lesson, that when she's in Heaven, she would watch over both of them, when their father is gone, she will guide them to a soul that would help them. She advised to Genevieve that true beauty and personality lies on the inside of the mice with good hearts, and that she will look for that when she marries to a mouse she loves and passed down her beloved necklace to her eldest daughter and also a bracelet to Olivia, promising that she would inherit it, when she's of age. Genevieve and Olivia never forgot their mother's advice.

By the next morning, Madeleine passed away, making the whole family mourn for a year, but remained strong, bringing them a lot closer than ever before. Hiram did all he could to support his daughters, and Genevieve began to work on dresses, in order to sell for extra support, though Hiram tells her to relax and let her enjoy life.

This is how I pictured Madeleine to be, and she might make a cameo appearance in my Great Mouse Detective Fanfiction story.

Thank you! It's sad to learn that Olivia never knew her mother, it could be assumed she died when her daughter was very young.

Whirlpool24 In reply to LoverofUnicorns96 [2017-12-06 05:56:27 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. Yeah it is sad. My guess is she died during childbirth or got sick afterwards and then died then when Olivia was a little baby.

If they ever did a live action version of this movie, maybe they could reveal what happened to Olivia's mother/Hiram's wife?

That could be a possibility.

Hmm it's a possibility. I mean they revealed what happened to Belle's mom in the live action Beauty and the Beast.

It's sad that we didn't learn what happened to Olivia's mother/Hiram's wife, it's assumed that she passed away before the events of the movie. I think I might write a prequel story about Madeleine, from her early life, how she met Hiram and her death. I decided to write a one-shot of Madeleine giving her daughters a final lesson and advice on her death bed.

PerkyGoth14 In reply to LoverofUnicorns96 [2017-11-13 01:41:55 +0000 UTC]

yeah, it's very likely since Olivia says "I don't have a mother", i doubt she would just leave them, but that would be interesting, and i like your interpretation of Mrs Flaversham

LoverofUnicorns96 In reply to PerkyGoth14 [2017-11-13 03:12:42 +0000 UTC]

Mm-hm, in my opinion, I don't think Olivia's mother ever walked out on them. It's assumed that she passed away, when Olivia was young. I think maybe expanding more on Olivia's (Genevieve's) mother would be a new twist. I might do her older sisters.

she might've died when Olivia was a baby, we'll never know, but i do appreciate it when fics decide to explore more about her like you're doing

It will come as soon as I finished Dumbo. I'm planning to write one, with Genevieve as the protagonist.

I remember reading Madeline and watching the TV show, such a childhood classic! Now I totally see the connection, Genevieve and Madeleine.

Madeleine is so beautiful! 

It's really sad to hear about her death and how she was with that rat, but it was good that she fell in love with Hiram and had Genevieve and Olivia.

LoverofUnicorns96 In reply to AnimationLover2000 [2017-10-11 00:02:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, I always pictured Olivia's mother being an upperclass woman, in Beauty and the Beast, I think Belle's mother might have be an upper class woman, since Belle was the only villager to wear blue. It was considered an expensive color back then.

Yes, and you'll find out that Olivia's (even Genevieve's) mother had a past, before she met Hiram, and may have connections with a certain criminal.

I wonder if the mention of her past relationship with the 'British Rat Gentleman' would play an important factor  in your fanfic.

ThomasAnime In reply to LoverofUnicorns96 [2017-10-08 04:43:19 +0000 UTC]

Would that serve as one of the reasons for Ratigan's forcing Genevieve into marrying her?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LoverofUnicorns96 In reply to ThomasAnime [2017-10-08 04:44:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes, and that would be the reason, seeing her dead mother in Genevieve. And her death might not be the only cause of tuberculosis.

ThomasAnime In reply to LoverofUnicorns96 [2017-10-08 07:08:56 +0000 UTC]

Am I sensing that that cause is based from "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"?

LoverofUnicorns96 In reply to ThomasAnime [2017-10-09 02:04:40 +0000 UTC]

I haven't seen that movie, but I read the plot and said that Professor Moriarty poisoned a woman for loving Holmes.

ThomasAnime In reply to LoverofUnicorns96 [2017-10-09 04:02:56 +0000 UTC]

That's what I was wondering: Did Ratigan secretly poisoned Madeleine and made it look like she contracted tuberculosis, just like how Moriarty did to Irene Adler?
