1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?

Millicent doesn’t have many memories of her father. Dad, he was gone too early for him to be a relevant figure in her life. He is the reason she’s in the wizarding world, though. Because he was an Unspeakable, the Bulstrodes were able to live in relative comfort, at least until the war. And sometimes, when her mum is tired, she’ll tell Millie, “Mija, you have his eyes.” 

5. Were they overprotected as a child? Sheltered?

Quite the opposite. Millicent was very protective of her parents. She’d always been burly, strong. “Like a bully,” a neighbour had once said, chuckling. Millicent had glared at them, but shrugged and accepted it. All the better, if it meant people would leave their little family in peace. 

10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?

Street-smart, certainly: enough to blend in and not be bullied at Hogwarts. Millicent does not consider herself intelligent or booksmart, but she is very determined and systematic when she wants something done. It’s what allowed her to become an Animagus, though initially Mcgonagall was fairly skeptical. 

15. Did they graduate? High-School? College? Do they have a PHD? A GED?

Millicent completed seven years at Hogwarts and finished the requisite training to become a hitwitch.

30. Are they holding on to something in the past? Can he or she forgive?

Unlike many of the others, Millicent has few connections she cares about, whether in a negative or positive sense. One of her bigger worries is that she doesn’t care enough about anything beyond herself, and that she’ll leave no legacy behind. 

45. Is your character pragmatic? Think first? Responsible? All action? A visionary? Passionate? Quixotic?

Millicent is fairly pragmatic and responsible, often able to make the logical decision. However, she comes across as aggressive and intimidating due to her demeanor and the blunt way in which she speaks.  

50. What are the prevailing facial expressions? Sour? Cheerful? Dominating?

14. do they stay up too late? do they like staying up?

One benefit of being virtually friendless at school was living by her own schedule. Millicent is generally an early sleeper, preferring to wake up before the sun rises. She does most of her work alone, patrolling the streets with a charmed audio player, earbud in one ear and wand ready.

36. would they rather be alone or in a relationship?

Millicent swears up and down that she’d rather be along forever, but she does crave physical affection. And any affection, really. Her Hogwarts classmates had seen her as unapproachable. Millicent wanted to keep even her housemates at arms’ length in case they had pureblood ideals, not wanting to deal with their prejudice. 

44. did they go to college, or are they attending? did / do they like it?

1. what’s your muse’s favorite album of all time / favorite artist?

11. bar soap or liquid? do they like loofahs?

millicent prefers the liquid soap her mum purchases from the muggle supermarket near their flat. 

21. did they have any fears growing up that they’ve since conquered?

millicent was a quiet kid, afraid of talking to other people because her voice is a lot lower than the other girls. perpetually hoarse, she knew that it could be yet another source of bullying, so she stayed quiet. but now her deep voice serves her well, another weapon to use as a hitwix.

31. do they have good fashion sense? or do they just wear whatever?

millie prefers to wear nondescript clothes while on the job, but her personal fashion sense leans towards more punk, occasionally loud outfits.

41. where would they want to live if they could live anywhere? why?

Millicent is on her fifth glass. “And you know, Tom,” she says, grinning at the barkeep, “I was nearly promoted today. Very nearly promoted.” She mutters into her glass, scratching at the counter. “But then!” Millicent slams her hand against the counter, shaking awake the person at the end, who shoots her a dirty look she ignores. “But then,” she says sadly, “you know how it issssss...” 

the empress: do you think you will ever get married?

“Me?” Millicent says, scoffing. “I’ve got far better things to do than yell my head off about what colour flower I want in a bouquet.” 

 death: what are three things you want to do before you die?

Millicent looks pensive. “Bring my parents around the world.” After saying that, she startles like she’s said too much. Smirks, rearranges her expression. “Have a harem of cats. Eat some deadly, exciting meals. Though that last one is easy because English food bores me nearly to death.”
