Appearance:
Milly Ashford is the main reason why gentleman may prefer blondes. She's a a very attractive young woman, with bright blue eyes, wavy golden hair, and certain assets that make us hot for students news reporters. She's very attractive, and believe me when I say she plays that fact up more than some can handle. She carries herself well, with the grace of a noble, but with the energy only a teenager could have. She's very polished in many respects, but is not afraid to push the limits on what is deemed lady-like with her looks. She is both tomboy, and girly girl, and weilds both sides with the ability a samurai would have with a blade.
Background/Personality:
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--

This is what happened the first time the world blew up.

Milly was wormholed out of the situation, but then wormholed right back into it, but with almost a year of memories added to it. The situation was startling, but the space-time continuum had never been fair. So here was this new reporter, frazzled and scared just like everyone else was, but for different reasons. How the hell did she even leave? Why had she been returned to her timeline so fluidly? Still, there was an event to be covered, and cover it she did, with such efficiency that her superiors took notice of her. She had seen it before-- She had seen her beloved die. But this time, she would not be reunited with him.

There was much adjusting to do after that. Shirley, Lelouch, and Eupemia were dead; Suzaku wasn't hers to have anymore. All of the friends she had made on the Thor were inaccessible, and the world did not blow up again. She was promoted very quickly to chief political correspondent, as she was able to get very personal interviews with the reigning Empress and the Prime Minister of the United States of Japan. (I'm not kidding. That's CANON.) She also had access to Zero, who was not the same man she had fallen for on the Thor. But she hoped that he'd meet her again.

She rebuilt Ashford Academy with the help of her friends, and even stopped by to help the student council often-- Milly was always one to be part of the community, really. Life went on, and she even considered writing a novel about her time on the Thor-- it was so absurd, it could've worked. Milly went back to being Camilla Ashford, making a name for herself and trying to create her own brand, as well as restore her family's honour.

The world was also in need of rebuilding, and while she did not have as much of a hand in it as she would have liked, she was there every step of the way. Spunky girl news reporters have a way of getting the public to pay attention, after all. So in a year, cities were put back together, peace was an achievable goal! Everything was looking up for both the Empire of Britannia, it's colonies, and for Milly's personal life.

As prety girls do, she dated around, and found a nice young man that she was steady with for almost a year. But she wasn't really happy with him anyway. She made new friends, stayed close with Nina, Kallen, and Rivalz, and really had herself a good time. One night, she decided to go out partying, to celebrate a friend's birthday, and Milly is not one to turn down a wild night. But in the middle of the dance floor, she feels the earth shake, hears the partiers scream, and in the chaos, she knows what's going to happen next--

The world blows up~

Personality

Milly is a very vibrant woman. 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?) 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 HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME I MADE MY MISTAKES. 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 woman deep down, with hopes and dreams and aspirations, and will work for them even if she goes about it the wrong way~
Have you read up on how the game works?:
The guide is the Flaming Ferret, and you get your moola through working, stealing, or even bumming~

1st person sample:
[Milly, with her bright blue eyes, appears on the feed, smiling brightly and waving enthusiastically]

You know, you leave a spaceship for two years, and it's like you're not even in the same galaxy! Sure, the coffee shops are all in the same spots, but how do you explain to new management you want the usual when they don't know what the usual is? No matter, I got that coffee for free with a little help from my friends~

[cue shot of her "friends"-- they happen to be a size double D. D-Dang.]

It's FANTASTIC to be back here again! I don't know anyone here, but that's okay! Japan just didn't seem right after all this-- you'd think home would feel like home, but this definitely more home than home... And that made perfect sense because Milly Ashford, Ace Reporter said so! Honestly, though, I missed being on the Thor. I've reported murders and rebellions on thrones being usurped, but I've never had as much fun as I did here. Thor was always best.

But things change. SO, RESIDENTS OF S.S. THOR! Your new favourite person needs a helping hand! Can a pretty girl get a tour of the place?
3rd person sample:
The moment her feet touch the tile, she smiles.

It's cool, and gritty, in a way, and just like she remembers it. The second she opens her eyes, though, she cries. It's the same city, the same home she missed for years. The flashing lights, the constant hum of people and traffic, strange aliens that were so much more familiar to her than Tokyo residents had been. It wasn't just like she remembered, but it was still close enough that it didn't matter. She was certain the halls would be the same, the elevators and doors would still talk, and the dolphins were still in their pool. Home, indeed.

She wipes at her eyes with the towel she's been given, knowing that while she has left behind a wonderful life, things get boring. And the one thing Milly will never be is boring. There's a whole universe out there, and Tokyo can only be so big. Perhaps she'll find Shirley and Lelouch again. Perhaps she'll find Pip and Matt and Atem. Or, perhaps, she'll have to start fresh. And no matter what the outcome is, she doesn't care. Because Milly is her own one-woman show, and she does make it happen. Smiling as bright as ever, she sniffles, and wipes at her eyes one more time before stepping out into the city. Taking one more look at her map, she hollers for a taxi cab, winking at the driver and using her good looks to get her to the old apartment buildings that she used to live in. The entire time, she keeps a conversation going, flirting and asking about the latest news (insatiable curiosity, after all...), but she's almost to excited to speak.

Soon, she'll be back to bottom rung, but hard work and charming personalities never hurt anyone.
Questions?:

Am I allowed to keep her history she had here? She was formerly on the Thor, and I didn't know if I had to write her history from a different game because it's the... same..... game...... If not, that's perfectly fine. If I have to write up her history from here, that's also perfectly fine.
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: I BETTER HAVE....

 

~*~ADDITION ABOUT MILLY'S LIFE ON THE THOR~*~: Milly has two modes: being a babe, and ruining everyone's life. Both happened on the ship. Upon arriving on the Thor, she met Atem, who became one of her best friends. Reunions with most of her friends from Japan-- Lelouch, Shirley, then later the princess and Suzaku, kept her happy among the refugees. Milly is rambunctious, and has a knack for getting into ridiculous amounts of trouble. Like having 150 pizzas for no reason, getting in fights with aliens, duking it out with Renge over Matt, of all people. Milly's life on the Thor was exciting, of course. Dates! Roomate shenanigans!  Anime convention planets! Buying a man from an auction by stripping! Ah yes, the Milly way. She didn't really go anywhere, nor focus on rubuilding her planet as much as others did. Her time on the Thor was mostly catfights over men, and trying to organise one wild party. (read: both things that didn't go so well for her.) At the end of her time on the Thor, she had lost a shot with both Atem and Matt, mad a fierce enemy in Renge, and was wormholed back after a wild night of partying. 

Milly, frankly, did quite a bit, but nothing that was important in terms of changing her personality or her reactions. Her whole life is just one big filler episode~
