Mildred Grace Wilkinson
~ "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." ~
 Nation: AvalonProfession: Almshouse aide, 'Sister of Charity' Appearance: Above Average, yet her unassuming nature often masks her attractiveness to casual observers. Age: 18 Height: 5'5" Mildred, affectionately known as "Millie" by those who have benefited from her boundless kindness and generosity, divides her days between serving as an aide and caretaker at the almshouse and devoting her evenings to the children of the Zee Flats. She takes on the roles of cook, storyteller, and bedtime guardian, while their mothers attend to matters at Madame Cresswell's nearby. In essence, Millie embodies the spirit of a nurturing mother figure and assistant to the local doctor, akin to what adherents of the Vatacine faith might recognize as a Sister of Charity. Despite not sharing their religious beliefs, her actions are steeped in charity and compassion. With little known about her life beyond the age of majority, Millie rarely speaks of her own family, if she even has one. She arrived at Baines Almshouse at the tender age of 12 or 13, seeking to lend a hand and offering her services without expectation of payment. Dr. Thomas Baines, touched by her sincerity and inner radiance, couldn't turn her away and has employed her ever since. And yes, he compensates her for her work. Millie exudes grace, kindness, and thoughtfulness, always willing to assist without seeking anything in return. Though reserved by nature, she possesses a quiet strength and courage that becomes apparent to those who take the time to know her. Occasionally, a hint of bashfulness surfaces, particularly in the presence of flirtatious individuals. Behind her reserved demeanor lies a deep well of optimism and hope, though keen observers might detect a lingering sadness in her olive green eyes, a testament to the challenges she may have faced in her past. |
