Most unwed women stick to the pale colors that are light but Milli tends to wear darker more muted colors that lend a grey feeling; Puce, Sage, Cerulean Blue, etc. She sticks also with darker laces than white. Even when she has to wear lighter shades she nearly always refuses anything white and still wants something with at least some hint of muted feel to it.

She is self-assured and this stems from keen critical mind and her silver tongue. She tries to never open her mouth unless she has something interesting to say and does so without overly using her words. Quick to the point most of the time yet when passion inflames her mind she can be a tad on the long winded side. She listens carefully to what others have to say but because she is so keen on dissecting everything and looks at the world through critical glasses she can be rather presumptuous with her deductions; oft times misreading a situation. She will stick stubbornly to her assumptions until she is forced to change them. She is quick to laugh at foolishness, others and surprisingly her own and while she is vain it isn't in the appearance department of the world but in her own opinion; vanity streaking across the line to foolishness with what she says and thinks. A kind soul, she is usually looking out for the greater good which can mean she places herself on the back burner and because of this is usually subjected to harsh criticism. More than once she has heard that she needs to bite her tongue if she ever wishes to win a husband or keep from scaring off her siblings suitors. Try as she will, the criticism gets to her but she shoulders in public even though in private it gnaws at her.

The family had been in the spice trade for several generations, each one prospering more than the one before it. When the Soulless emerged, even more was able to be made; now in the transport of people to and from the Far East for their training. Milli is the eldest born to Benedict and his first wife Catherine. Catherine died when Milli, 9 years of age at the time, was over seas in Hunan, China training. When she returned on her 18th birthday her father had long remarried to a widow by the name of Elizabeth Jones, hoping to be able to provide his daughter with a female guiding hand when she returned. Elizabeth was less of a guiding hand and more of a whip to the back side, trying to push her and her step sisters (Emma and Jane) into any marriage of title no matter the honor of the man in question and they have all been very questionable thus far. Currently the family is in their London Manor for the Season, one event after another while her step mother tries to force her and her siblings into whatever compromising position she can to wed them off to a man of nobility. Her father is off over seeing the construction of three more ships that will be added to his company hopefully within the next several years and sadly has not responded to Milli's letters making him aware of her step mothers embarrassing and compromising ways. [b][color=0072bc]Your personal life:[/color][/b] Milli was raised by her parents until she was seven years of age; loved, tutored, cared for. She tested high in speed but also intelligence and her father gave her the choice of perusing her training in which location she chose. She decided on a temple in Hunan, China. Her mother and her father both accompanied her to the shores of China and bid her farewell and good luck in her training; both of them visiting her once a year later before her mother fell ill of Consumption. Her father could not bring himself to tell Milli in person of her mothers death and had it delivered by the captain of one of his spice ships. Milli was devastated, adoring her mother, and she lost herself in her training and education over the next years. It barely registered to her when she found out that her father had remarried and that she now had step siblings. Neither of them were sent for training to any location, her step mother stating that they had walls to protect them and servants. Milli finished her training and came home on her 18th birthday her step mother tried to force her into the Season but Milli refused, deciding to take a years morning for her mother even though she had died nearly a decade earlier. (Using the excuse that this was the first time she had set foot on her home soil in so long that it would only be right to show her respect to her mother this way. Her father did not argue.) After a year though, all bets were off and since then Milli has had to keep her guard up and eyes in the back of her head. Her step mother constantly trying to set up the most scandalous of events to get her and her step siblings ensnared in with any man of title so that the family can climb the ranks of society. Milli keeps awaiting word back from her father but nothing has come and she fears the worst but dare not leave England; there would be no one left to watch out for her siblings. [b][color=0072bc]What you want for your life:[/color][/b] Milli wants a great many things in life, one of them is marriage for her siblings. She wants them to wed good men so that she does not have to constantly keep her step mother from throwing them at every pair of titled trousers in the country. With that she hopes to gain at least some independence in her life, as much as perhaps she can hope for right now is just to remain out of a compromising position.
