[Point in time taken from canon] The middle of the final episode, during the riot following Emperor Lelouch's death
[Background] Once upon a time, there was a nutso emperor named Charles. He went by many names, like Emperocket, Emperor Wakamoto, Papa Lelouch, and my favourite, Emperor Chuck. Well, Chuck was awesome, and he ruled this one snazzily huge supernation called the Holy Britannian Empire. Now, this giant-ass country was run like ye olden monarchies, with barons and dukes and handsome princes, and of course, knights. But those guys don't matter. Let us focus on Tits McSexy Milly~
Milly's family was the old and quite prestigious Ashford House, being incredibly close with the Imperial family, as well as making a name for themselves on their own. The family flourished well, becoming even closer when one of their many 'projects', Lady Marianne Lamperouge AKA "Marianne the Flash", Knight of Six, married the Emperor, and had two children with him, both of which were very close with little miss Milly. Lelouch had stolen her heart, and of course both parental units found it to be a plausible arrangement. But you see, things fell apart when Milly was merely eight. Lelouch's mother was assassinated, taking her, her children, her daughter's sight and mobility, as well as the Ashford name and all respect that went along with it, down together. Milly's family was left disgraced, but was lucky enough to keep their title, their money, and the academy Rueben K. Ashford, the patriarch and Milly's grandfather, had founded and become headmaster of. The Empire favoured loyalty, and loyalists the Ashfords were.
After Lady Marianne was laid to rest, the Ashford family left the Britannian capital of Pendragon, and moved to Area 11, formerly Japan, and took residence in the new Tokyo Settlement, where the Academy was. Lelouch and Nunnally had been in the Tokyo Settlement as well, with the Kururugi family as bargaining tools, but when Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi committed suicide, they disappeared, presumed dead and listed with the many other casualties of war. But two Lamperouges took residence with the Ashfords, as a favour to the memory of their wild and endearingly outgoing mother. They soon resided in the Student Government Clubhouse, as they had nowhere else to go. Milly had her crush within grasp, but of course, duty came first, and she followed protocol and procedure, as a lady should.
Milly's parents were very strict with how she was to be in public when she was younger. There was a way to dress, a way to act, a way to speak, to walk, to refer to people... But when she grew older, they decided their only daughter was more important than constant proprieties, and allowed her to live with her grandparents, giving her more freedom than she'd ever had. The shy young Camilla became nonexistant and the vibrant Milly emerged. It was like she was a whole new person, a person who was very exuberant and curious about the world, determined to learn everything just for learning's sake. She went to the middle school with Lelouch and Nunnally, and while she was never as smart as the prince, she tried so very hard to be. But one thing she was better at than he was making friends. And make friends she did. Even though she was eleven (and three-quarters!), the entire academy knew her, and she helped the student council immensely. And soon, she flew through the grades, and started high school before Lelouch.
Even with all of her old friends graduating, she melded in with the new crowd. They practically handed her the title of Student Government President (just inflate her ego, won't you?) and since the headmaster was her own grandfather, life for the students was rather fantastic. And then, Lelouch came into high school. Rivalz Cardemonde, Shirley Fennette and Nina Einstein did too. These new additions became the vice president, secretaries, and treasurer of her council. Nunnally was the middle school's delagate. Soon the six became very close friends. Life for them was very ordinary, regardless of how extraordinary Milly (and the rest of them, yes) tried to make it. Lelouch went gambling with Rivalz, Shirley fawned over Lelouch, Nina worked on project after project, Nunnally lived in blissful ignorance, and Milly... Well. As long as they were all together...
Then, her senior year, things became very strange.
At the beginning of the year, two people connected with Lelouch reared their heads. Kallen Stadtfeld was the first. Another girl was no problem for a friend. But he seemed to be around her often. Nothing was held against her, of course. and then... Suzaku Kururugi came to the school. He was a suspected murderer of Prince Clovis, an honourary Britannian, a soldier, but also the son of Japan's former Prime Minister (The one who commited suicide four paragraphs up, remember?), and very much Eleven (The name they gave to the area AND the people. Damn racists). Still, he proved him self worthy of all of them, and was soon loved by the entire school. (even Nina!) Of course, this was after one of the craziest scavenger hunts ever, which was organized by Milly. What she'll do to have a bit of dirt on Lulu~ But soon after, the females of the student council (sans lelouch and kallen) were held hostage at a floating hotel (in which Nina fell in love with princess Euphemia, who was in love with Suzaku who tried saving the hotel, but failed because Lelouch is a retard and had to be a terrorist thing, but saved the hotel and everyone it it! YAY! not.) And things just get better from there! Shirley's father is killed by Zero, and Lelouch and Shirley start sharing some secrets. (NOT FOR LONG!) Then everyone starts acting really weird, and what's worse, her parents want their only child, their beautiful Milly to marry a nobleman for name, not for love. And they've found just the sucker to do it. His name was Lloyd Asplund, Director of Technology and Mechanics in the Britannian Military, affectionately nicknamed the Earl of Pudding~ He has no interest in her, but will marry her because he has nothing better to do. (MILLY DOES NOT APPROVE. neither does Rivalz for that matter. He loves her, and yet, she doesn't return the feelings...)
Life still goes on for her, festivals being planned and held (SUZAKU STOP BRINGING YOUR GIRLFRIEND AROUND OKAY) and studies resuming, where Lloyd's awkward courtship with Milly also continues on. And then, the world collapses, if only for a while. Euphemia li Britannia announced a specially administrated zone for Japanese to be Japanese and not Elevens, and Zero, damn Zero comes and ruins/saves it all. Euphemia has LOST HER MIND, and is killing everyone left and right, on national television, and then... Zero shoots her. He kills her. The city crumbles. The citizens revolt against Britannia. Ashford becomes something of a safe haven, but not safe enough. Milly tries defending her council, and her students, and does well enough, but the battle rages on. Kallen exposes her self as part of la resistance, and Nina goes insane over Eupemia's death, swearing revenge on Zero. Lelouch is missing, Suzaku is fighting valiently, and then Nunnally disappears. And the world ends.
For a moment.
A year later, Milly has been brainwashed into believing there was never a Nunnally, but a brother to Lelouch, Rolo, Suzaku Kururugi was a soldier and not exactly a friend, and Zero is dead. The rest of Ashford is the very same. Milly has purposely failed her examinations so she can spend more time at school with her friends. In a way, life as normal has been restored, and yes, she's still engaged. But then, oh dear god buildings are blowing up again ZERO WHYYYYY. And then, there is a welcoming party for Suzaku, such an esteemed young man (now Knight of Seven) thrown by who else~? A FESTIVAL YAY. Well, Gino and Anya come to it for Suzaku, but they have no idea how the real world works. at all. and they sortofkindofreallysuper mess up the next festival, but it was worth it, really. Gino's cute enough to smile and it'll be made up for~ (EXCEPT C.C. WANTED THAT PIZZA) Another party is being held in the Chinese Federation, a wedding, actually. Empress Tianzi of China is to marry First Prince Odysseus eu Britannia, per the will of the eunuchs who need to feel manly at SOME point in their lives. Well, the betrothed couple of Earl Lloyd Asplund and Lady Camilla Ashford just HAD to be there. Well, so were some friends of Suzaku, like Sir Gino Weinberg (who just might've stolen some of her heart~) and Anya Alstreim, and... Nina? Nina Einstein? With Second Prince Schneizel! Milly confronted Nina about her leaving the academy, at which Nina lashed out and just flat out told her off, hurting milly deeply. Yet, Blondie had some grace and love for her friend, and said if she ever needed someone, she would be there. And yet again, shit starts collapsing around her because OH GOD ZERO WOULD YOU JUST STOP IT and he plans to get the little empress outta there ASAP. And then there is this fantastic battle with the mechas and then Milly returns home. Why she isn't in a mental institution, I don't know. At the academy there are two new students. I'll give you a hint; they were mentioned in this paragraph. Gino Weinberg and Anya Alstreim have enrolled at Ashford which is both YAY and NO. She's got two new members in her council, at least. Well, they ruin ANOTHER festival (kind of?) called Cupid Day, where any girl can become a boy's girlfriend is she steals his asshat blue heart hat. This is Milly's last day as a student, and moreso, as Student Council President. Milly says whoever get's Lelouch's hat will have their club's budget increased tenfold, and yes, she does this crap on purpose. She then annouces she has enough credits to graduate and does. She then becomes a reporter for a news station. And Shirley and Lelouch get together. for a little bit. She commits suicide (see this pattern? Murder = suicide) and Milly is devastated. She attends the funeral, like she did for Shirley's father.
Lelouch is nowhere to be seen.
So, Milly becomes the face for the station she works for, and eventually covers all major events involving Emperor Lelouch and his insanity. Really, I kind of feel that they are boring and no one wants me to waste MORE of your time with trivial events like ruining the world, and taking over Japan and being dramatic Lelouch and the war with Schneizel in the sky. Which she covered~ But towards the end, there is a massive battle in which her beloved Ashford Academy is used as a shelter, and she is reunited with Rivalz. I wish I could say they got together, really, but they just talk, for a moment, how they wish everyone could've stayed friends forever. Truly sad...
Soon, Lulu's fucked over the world big time, and plans to execute all those who are traitors to him. Such an event will be broadcast worldwide. Milly's covering it. But Lelouch is-- The emperor has been stabbed! BY ZERO?! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM HOLY. There is massive chaos! people are screaming! The goddamn emperor is dead! Oh my god someone do som--
She stops, people rushing in from every direction, and someone going to free the prisoners hits her in the head with crowbar (inadvertantly), knocking her out cold, with her last thoughts before fainting being that of her beloved emperor...
(tl;dr Milly's got a weird ass life, and lelouch ruins everything always.)
[Personality] Milly is a very vibrant girl. Every one is notified of her arrival just because she can be a very overwhelming individual. She is loud, demanding, wild, confident, powerful, completely insane, but at the same time, she is shy, demure, unsure of herself, saddened by the world, and the life she has been forced to live. It seems to be her goal to make every day as interesting as possible, and does so successfully. A born leader, Milly takes on any challenge with the ferocity of a jungle cat, and the grace of a ballerina (or a refined noble~), doing her best to succeed.
Milly's always had everything presented to her on a silver platter, and wants to be more that just her name and her boobs face, but unfortunately, that isn't the case. She's never learned much more than that. Sure, she can cook, clean, throw a magnificent party, do lots of things that would help her in the real world, but she's had to rely on her name to get her ahead. When you don't need to work to survive, how do you gain experience? Still, she's very determined to prove herself, without her body doing all the work for her.
Yet, she wields that physical power as much as she can. She is a manslayer, and was known for that back at the academy. Coy and charming, Milly knows how to win over a man, and likes doing so. She's still a lady by blood and by name, but by actions, not so much. She'd much rather flaunt her figure and have fun than be refined.
Still, nobles are cutthroat, and so is she. (Are you sensing the duality and contradictions in her personality? because I'm allergic to easy characters. just saying.) She will do anything that is in her best interests, and will do so with a brave face and dignity. She, who has honour to restore and nothing to lose, plays like everything is on the line but her honour is all she has. Never will she do something underhanded unless she needs to. And never will she be serious unless she needs to be. She will stand up for her friends when they are in need, or even if she feels they need her, whether they want it or not. And if you are close to her, beware of her. She will ruin your life or make it magical. most of the time it's both, and you are left wondering WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. But she will serve as your conscience, as the counselor you love dearly, as anything you wish her to be. Your wet dream, your best friend, your worst fear, or just the girl you were looking for. (to go make you coffee? nah~)
She thinks both rationally and emotionally, serving as the logic to Rivalz' lack thereof, to Shirley's devotion to Lelouch, to Suzaku and his nostalgia. But she is the emotion to Kallen's shy facade, to Nina's sciencegeek ways, and to Lelouch's cool and composed demeanor. Not to mention Lloyd's sociopathic tendencies. But where she wishes to be in love, to be fascinating, to live life with no repercussions, she knows damn well that's not the case, and will think before she acts when she needs to. She has done so when deciding to go and become working class, when she offered to marry Lloyd Asplund, and when she graduated, leaving behind a very emotional part of her life, and certainly what she loved the most to go forth and be a proper adult.
In essence, Milly is a woman, thus full of contradictions, but is a good girl deep down, with hopes and dreams and aspirations, and will work for them even if she goes about it the wrong way~
[Abilities] ...Does the power of boobs count?
[Other important stuff] She pervs out on everyone. I say this now so when people look at her and go "Oh. Em. Gee. What a total skank." I can say "That's all good, BECAUSE IT'S IC." :D just fair warning~
[Sample post]
[First Person]
[Have a close up of a busty blonde's breasts. She's clothed, no worries, but they're still THERE. She shifts the camera up to her face, smiling-- no, smirking and mocking you. She knows what you're thinking.]
Well, this is interesting. Didn't think things would end up like this... Of course, a little excitement never hurt anyone! I'm always up for something new, you know. I'd much rather be here than home. It sounds awful to say, but honestly, this is far more exciting than Britannia or Area 11 or anywhere else I've ever been. So many people, so much that is different! I'm so excited! Oh, all I have to do is find my old friends, you know, Ashford's old student council~, and together, we could cause massive chaos.
[she pauses to think for a moment, and continues]
Good chaos. Not Godzilla-is-ravaging-the-Tokyo-Settlement chaos. More so men in dresses, girls dancing on tables, myself with men on my arms and my-- [STOP.] Uh. Rivalz would not like to see that, now would he? Nor would Lelouch, but like he's here to care... Hmph. I wish they were. I suppose it's best if they weren't caught up in this. Nina would have a fit if she saw all these Elevens out and about. And they call themselves Japanese! Oh, we're not in the Tokyo Settlement anymore. Not like I ever cared if they were Elevens-- er, Japanese or not. Kallen and Suzaku were always nice enough~
[She pauses yet again, and purses her lips, a more somber thought occuring]
I wonder if there are people who are dead who are here, if this is like some odd limbo. Then perhaps... Perhaps Shirley is here. I hope she is. To have her back again... Well. We can't get TOO nostalgic and sentimental if not. In the mean time, there is work to be done and student councils to form!
[the feed ends as she blows a kiss to those watching~]
[Third Person]
She couldn't remember anything. Well that wasn't ALL true-- she could remember her name, her age, the basics, but she couldn't remember how she got to where she was. There was a blur in her mind, a dash of blood, and then. Here. It was a rather scary thought that she wasn't sure of herself in this place, but she could only aassume she was alright. A few scratches, a minor headache, nothing too drastic... But where was everyone she knew? She looked up, and there was a half moon in an evening sky, signalling a few hours passing. Was she really down for that long? Brushing herself off, she rose to her feet, and took in the surrounding area. A strange place to be. A church stood before her, and she knew she certainly wasn't in the Settlement anymore. Perhaps in the Homeland, but not with her friends, if anything... Still, friends or not, this could be a promising turn of events. No Emperor. No terrorists. No one holding her back from doing what she wanted, and not what they wanted. She smiled, and walked towards the oaken doors of the building, figuring that a church would be the one place she would want to start anew...
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Hmm... honestly, it was at request I bring in Milly... but I like the premise, and it sounds fun!
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] the rule where there are no rules. :|
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] Through Moe-face and Kelly. 8D
[Any questions?] Can I have a cookie? I'm kind of hungry.
