snickers feverishly at myself for bringing in a 5th... who do i think i am? unstoppable? invincible? suddenly ripples my titanium plated pecs. maybe so. u can find her pinterest here n her playlist here.

* margaret qualley, cis female + she/her | you know bradley milligan, right? they’re twenty-four, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, all of their life? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to looking for knives by dyan like, a million times this year, which makes sense ‘cause they’ve got that whole snow angels trampled through by your father’s footprints, casually reading a newspaper that’s catching flame & stubbing a cigarette against the wing mirror of a parked cop car thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is november 11th, so they’re a scorpio, which is unsurprising, all things considered. ( nai, 24, gmt she/her )

HISTORY:

bradley has this memory of meeting her grandmother for the first time n everything in the room was frozen still. even the air. she didn’t feel like she cld move n she got the impression this is how it’d always been in the milligan lineage. the only thing that was allowed to act of it’s own accord was her grandmother’s eyes as she tracked every slightest flinch of muscle. when her father left the room her grandmother reached out and took bradley’s hand n bradley looked at this like it was smthn she’d never seen before until her grandmother leaned close and all she could stare at was a nicotine stain on one of her front teeth. “he’s cold, isn’t he? he’s always been cold. i don’t think he’s mine.” bradley could tell from how tight she held her hand that he was. she could tell by the way she smiled as she said it, too. the way she felt obliged to smile back.

growing up in a huge white house in aquila drive w pruned hedges sounds idyllic n looks it too. swanky cars w tinted windows in the long driveway. always men filing in and out under the cloak of night wearing expensive suits n smiles worthy of a politician’s billboard. bradley’s mum alyssa thought so too n that’s hw she got into this whole mess tbh. tony milligan is very good at advertising. he cld package a jarred human heart as strawberry jam and convince u to spread it on ur toast if he wanted to. he could make u smile politely as u ate ur own.

alyssa ws this very pretty blonde kind of mysterious presence in a room. everyone wanted to kno her story or fk her but noone rly treated her like a person more just like a puzzle to solve. john green syndrome alert..... literally manic pixie dream girled bt on turbo charge. there were vague whispers she’d run away from home when she appeared in town out of nowhere bt nothing concrete. tony decided he wanted to crack the case n once he set his mind to something there was no changing it. they wound up embroiled in a whirlwind romance. head over heels. he came at romance hard and fast as a freight train. alyssa knew he was into shady things but not quite the full extent of it n honestly she didn’t care bc she wanted security n a family to call her own n tony promised that. they were married within a year.

tony came frm money bt he wanted to carve his own path n make his own legacy. destined fr greatness he’d tell her. we’re destined for greatness. it sounds nice doesn’t it! alyssa thought so too.

(drugs mention tw) slowly over the yrs he essentially forged his own crime organisation tht only grew. he opened a strip club down the seedier side of irving called ‘no angels’ n this became the front thru which his gang ran drugs in the back (predominantly coke n they pride themselves fr having a Superior Blend apparently) as well as laundering cash n this also was kind of their home base to hang

(abuse tw) their marriage increasingly lost it’s shine n alyssa came to realise she’d been sold a lie n she didn’t rly know this person or what he was capable of right around the time bradley was born. by then it was kind of like Wow i am rly in this n there is not an exit door huh. i won’t go into details bt things were not good at all. bradley witnessed n experienced a lot of things she shouldn’t have growing up. she didn’t understand why other kids drew home in all these different coloured crayons like they were bright places to be. she didn’t understand why everyone got so excited when the bell rang at the end of the day bc she just felt sick. she rationalised tht this was normal when she was younger bc sometimes kids talked abt the monsters under their beds giving them nightmares n she thought mayb they were talking abt their dads too. as she got older she realised tht actually her world wasn’t the same as anyone else’s n she also realised no-one wld ever be able to tell her why. she started becoming friends with the angry feeling in her chest tht she used to try and swallow around this time. often she’d wander the mall for a while to put off going home. smoke on random park benches. watch trains rattle thru town from the vantage point of a random rooftop.

(abuse, missing person implied, murder implied & grief tw) when bradley was 12 she woke up and all of her mum’s clothes were gone frm their drawers. no shoes anywhere. a framed photo of them at the beach holding bradley as a baby vanished from over the mantelpiece. when bradley asked her dad what was going on, tony essentially said “it was exhausting her. being here. being your mother. she didn’t want to do it any more, so now she’s gone” n then he hugged her. little details leaked into the mix over the yrs. at one point tony dismissed her as having flown overseas to a foreign country to drink in the sun like she’d always wanted even tho alyssa always told bradley she liked the snow best (once she even walked outside as it fell in a thin lace nightgown when tony was out n when bradley said “mom you’re gonna get cold” she only tugged her down and made her do snow angels until her lips looked blue). the most significant memory bradley can never shake from her head is her mother cupping a yellow tulip at the park n saying she hated them. when bradley asked why she only turned and smiled at her as she stroked the hair from her face n then said “because they look so happy”. after bradley’s mum vanished a long flower bed at the bottom of the garden was suddenly overrun with dozens of freshly planted yellow tulips. whenever bradley looked at them out of her window she got this sickly feeling in the pit of her stomach like she was visiting a cemetery. she suspected what had happened to her mum (especially as rumours circulated within tony’s organisation abt alyssa being unfaithful with someone tht used to work fr him) bt she cld never bring herself to truly accept it. thus she ws stuck in this strange purgatory state of not-quite-anger at her mum for “leaving” and not-quite-grief.

bradley rly started to transgress in school after her mum was gone. alyssa was always kind of a character when she’d pick bradley up (wasn’t doing well n acted kind of ‘eccentric’ i suppose u cld say) so tony managed to spin it all as a child acting out in the wake of an unfit mother uprooting n abandoning. bradley became........ interesting. JKHGFSSKJGHFSGHSKFGHFG. she’d snap n resort to violence very easily. very desensitised to it. students were kind of scared of her tbh. as this progressed into proper high school she got in w the more rowdy popular crowd solely bc she was so fking.... wild for lack of a better word. rly would just do anything fr the thrill. had no sense of ‘i shouldn’t do this bc it’s dangerous’. partied harder than anyone. bit back harder than anyone. no filter. hung w a lot of guys honestly bc they had less morals n either found her scariness cool or wanted to fk <3

(hospitalisation, depression & drugs tw) she’s had. a few stints in psychiatric institutions fr various reasons tbh. missed a small chunk of her senior yr fr this but it wasn’t widely known just kind of rumoured. she showcases a lot of similar symptoms to her mum who struggled w severe depression (which was difficult to cope w when ur husband was often pouring ur prescription down the drain fr kicks) n in order to compensate fr the lows she takes a lot of things to kick them into highs. drinks n snorts too much. bradley i love u bt i’m begging u to seek healthier coping mechanisms......

as the yrs went on (especially once alyssa had gone) tony rly started trying to integrate bradley into the business side of things...... she literally. is named bradley bc he was expecting a boy n he was like well let’s still call her bradley. n had in mind she’d still fulfil the role he wanted her to of being his little protege so to speak.... both sexist n ugly all in one fell swoop...... an example of this is he literally. bought her a mint green switchblade for her 14th birthday n named it tinkerbell bc it would “die without attention” aka using it. tht sounds like a healthy gift to give a child tony congratulations sis <3

in an ideal world bradley wld have gone to uni to study psychology bc she jst wants to know how the fk her dad is literally like that bt she probably stuck around n is now managing no angels along with billy n marco (billy’s in her dad’s gang n is, u guessed it, a cunt, n marco is his sort of right hand man so to speak) bc tony’s in the closest neighbouring city overseeing a second ‘no angels’ opening up there to expand into a franchise n widen their income margins. bradley wld also be sort of used as a honey trap type deal once she got older if they needed to lure ppl places n sometimes still is bt it depends. the guys in the club all know not to mess w bradley bc she’s tony’s daughter n literally kind of scary herself sometimes bt there’s also this certain allure tht comes with being the boss’ daughter n it kind of comes across in how they act or talk abt her. yes i will kill them all n no i won’t feel bad abt it <3

think that’s kind of all u need to kno history wise... blinks one eye out of sync w the other..... runs to personality

PERSONALITY:

a phrase i wld always use to describe bradley in old intros is “like a cup of black coffee with one grain of sugar that u don’t taste until the last sip”. also dark chocolate. lime. liquorice. she’s an acquired taste n i feel like u either love her or u hate her.

cannot express how unpredictably chaotic she is..... frequently throws a drink in a stranger’s face jst to start something bc she’s bored. loves to hurl cheese slices across the room so they slap onto someone’s face out of nowhere. likes smashing things. stubbing cigarettes out on faces in framed family photographs. will literally pick a lock n then smash the window besides it to defeat the whole purpose just bc she found how neat it was boring. does anything fr the adrenaline n thrill. gets into far too many fights n fights dirty. probably been thrown out of every bar in town at least three times. banned from a bunch too.

she’s witty bt she has a dark sense of humour..... can be quite mean.......... loves to roast ppl for no reason........ honestly has some nathan young frm misfits aspects in that sense like jst seems untouchable emotionally n like she doesn’t take anything seriously n is fking outrageous about it.....

has this quality abt her tht kind of scares herself sometimes. it’s like she recognises parts of her dad in her. she’s very perceptive (bc she’s had to be over the yrs trying to read every micro-expression of her dad’s to predict what’s next) n like emotionally intelligent in a way which is ironic bc her own emotions r just an absolute minefield.... bt. she can read people quite well. gets this eerily calm look abt her sometimes n it’s jst like god what’s. she thinking. what’s she’s gna do. i’m shaking. a cool n controlled kind of rage can often be scarier than the explosive type n bradley does that well. grits my teeth n tugs on my collar....

very strong on the surface. hates being vulnerable. has this ingrained idea that crying is childish or rly any kind of emotional display within herself. 50% not taking things seriously 50% angry. tht’s how she comes across....... internally? whole different story. bt ppl don’t see that.

very cavalier abt some things. will flash her tits n not even think abt it. jst very out there...... one of her closest friends is a homeless man named joe who wears neon purple fishnets on his head n loves to spit on ppl from over an underpass. finds eccentric ppl like this funny n surrounds herself w them. loves to be kept on her toes.

LOVES driving stolen cars down the wrong side of the highway. it’s a lot.

fiercely loyal to a fault to a select few bt if u wrong her personally this can switch pretty quick. quite a force to b reckoned w n will hold a grudge. bt like. if ur a Chosen One she’d bury a body for u no questions asked.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

deals to u: bradley isn’t like full time into dealing bt she does do it sometimes.... treats it kind of like a hobby bc the lesser ranked can do tht shit as far as she’s concerned bt.. sometimes also jst gets bored n is like. why not. might be chaotic. mayb they’ll try to rob me <3 we love the thrill <3 or like..... if ur friends w her she’ll deal to u n no she will not do a friends discount <3 or if she does there will definitely be some sort of stipulation attached <3

high skl crew: if ur muse is local n ws an absolutely demonic hell spawn in high skl tht went to 1974547254 parties n was outrageously chaotic n rude then. bradley probably was friends w them <3 her friendships tend to be surface level bt they’d definitely go out a bunch bt whether they actually knew a lot abt her life is debatable bt we could explore options fr this

people who work at no angels: no angels is her dad’s strip club in irving that she kind of helps to run now. it’s kind of a shifty environment. the place where ud have an outrageous bachelor party. u go for the first time w a fake id n u get served bt u also get ur wallet stolen n ur convinced someone spat in ur drink n u also kind of think there might b a hit on u now after u made eye contact too long w a broad shouldered man smoking in a back booth. scary environment. testament to her dad as a person. maybe ur muse is a dancer there or works the bar or security or whatever u name it....

ma’am are u ok?: ur muse found bradley passed out across two bus seats one time in smudged dark eyeliner a silver slip dress n the world’s chunkiest combat boots this town hs ever seen. sometimes she winds up in spots like this when she goes too hard n it’s absolutely dangerous n reckless bt that’s jst bradley <3 mayb they forged an unlikely friendship frm this strange meeting or maybe even? dare i say it? a romance? opposite worlds colliding? good influence? let’s go crazy. release ur inhibitions. feel the rain on ur skin.

hook-ups: bradley’s cavalier abt this stuff..... very unemotional typically..... mayb we cld do an unrequited thing that wld be angsty n fun altho i won’t lie i don’t kno if she’d be the one to catch the feelings.... she rarely sleeps over bt once when she woke up in someone’s bed she hiked over to straddle them carefully as possible so they wldn’t wake up n then pressed her knife to their neck as a fun little surprise where she said boo when they opened their eyes.... she’s a lot clearly.

watermelon slugger, hiiii: bradley has this habit where she gets a bunch of watermelons n then goes to a rooftop n throws them over the edge to watch them explode when they hit the pavement.... maybe ur muse almost got hit by one once n were like WTF???????? another quirky meet cute moment like the bus one <3 can’t stop w them <3 maybe she randomly invited ur muse to do it w her when they were like. a stranger of f the street. she was bored. decided to adopt them as a science experiment. we cn elaborate on this probably....

ouch charlie: similar territory bt she also sometimes shoots pedestrians w a bb gun from rooftops. mayb ur muse wld always get hit by one on a certain route they walked n finally one day they saw her head ducking down behind a ledge n then they see her in the street one day n are like HEY IT’S YOU............. WTF? n bradley’s like ya i’m christ risen again it’s a lot to take in i know...

rly jst anything... mutually destructive friends... exes.... in one rp a character tried to get close to bradley so he cld write an expose all book about her n her family which i found so fking funny so i’ll request that again.... people she’s fought.... ppl whose gf/bf she’s fk’d n it’s caused enemy status.... someone whose place she broke into and shaved their eyebrows off in the night only to draw them on again in crudely thin permanent sharpie lines.... roommates cld be fun n sexy i’d love that actually.... jst anything rly. go wild. kisses everyone tenderly on cheeks.

#irvingintro #abuse tw #missing person tw #implied murder tw #grief tw #hospitalisation tw #depression tw #drugs tw #death tw #i think tht's all of them....... cor blimey......

Is that ESTELLE MACMILLIAN? It’s so nice to see them back at Hogwarts! SHE is 17, and a HALF-BLOOD, 7th YEAR HUFFLEPUFF and totally looks like the muggle CAMILA MENDES. They are known to be CONFIDENT, and METICULOUS but also have a tendency to be HAUGHTY and DUBIOUS. There are whispers around the castle that in the unrest that is brewing they are NEUTRAL.

OTHER INFO: She’s ¼th Veela.

Full Character Name: Estelle Fernanda Macmillan

Does your character have siblings? What are their names?: She’s an only child.

What is your characters best subject in school? Surprisingly? Herbology.

What is your characters wand?: Come back later, I need to do the test on Pottermore. rgnsrlgk

Can your character cast a Patronus? What is it? What memory do they use?: She is noncorpeal right now, the shape it would take if she were able to is currently unknown.

Who is your characters best friend?: She doesn’t have one, I’d like to plot one out for her though!

Does your character look up to anyone? Who?: Other than herself? Her late mother, who put the stars in her sky. Her father is also quite important to her.

What is your characters relationship like with their family?: The only immediate family she has left is her father, who dotes on her like you wouldn’t believe. Stella is incredibly spoiled, and it couldn’t be more obvious. He’s a good man and a good father, which shines through in how he takes care of his daughter.

If your character has siblings, do they have a favorite?: N/A

What is your characters go-to spell in a duel?: Incarcerous

What spell does your character use most often?: Wingardium Leviosa, so she doesn’t have to carry her books to and from class.

BIO/HEADCAONS:

TW: parent death, mental illness, manipulation, suicide mention.

She’s Mr. Ernie Macmillan’s daughter, so that’s fun. Strap in lads. Her parents met when the schools came together for the triwzard championship. He asked her to the Yule Ball, which originally started as a plot to get back at respective significant others (or, in his case, to rub Hannah’s nose in it bc………how dare she not go w him?) but stranger things have happened.

They fell and love and it was definitely a whirlwind relationship. They spent their summers following split between Scotland and France. They were married as soon as the war ended, and after Ernie came back to repeat his seventh year, he made the move to be with her and to work under his father-in-law at the French Ministry of Magic. All was well and good for them; they lived happily and were over the moon when Estelle came along.

She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and wanted for nothing. Literally, the girl could not have been more spoiled. She STILL is.

Her mother was a Cursebreaker so she got to experience all sorts of things in different magical communities. She’s quite cultured as a result. She speaks French (which is her mother tongue), English, Spanish, and some Greek.

This bitch had it made up until second year. She was yanked out of class near the end of term and shipped home without given any information. It wasn’t until later that night that her dad sat her down and did his best to explain why her mother was no longer with them.

A few blood purists were unhappy with the fact that Ernie gave up his pureblooded line and decided to mate with someone beneath him (not to mention the fact that he’s always been on the light side and even fought in the war prior).

So, naturally, they stuck their nose where it didn’t belong and found out that Mrs. Macmillan suffered from mental illness. They decidedly used that to their advantage and began manipulating her. Eventually it ended up being too much for her to handle and they drove her to suicide. Her father never told her the more gruesome details to spare her the heartache, only that she’d died tragically.

So, ofc she’s in the dark about the true circumstances and has no idea how/why she’s lost her mum.

OK ACT II HERE WE GO.

Her father couldn’t handle staying and being so close to the tragedy, so away they went. Enter in her being forced out of her childhood home and being made to move to dirty Scotland, tbh.

Transferred to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons in the middle of her third year. She absolutely despises the school and (most) of it’s inhabitants. Isn’t apart of any clubs or even on the Quidditch team because she can’t be bothered, she’s well and truly tired of everything.

Neutral as fuuuuuck, definitely hasn’t picked a stance in the impending war. Decisions? Don’t know her. 100% in it to protect her money and her own skin, basically. Has tendencies towards the good side bc she’s not a monster, but she’s….not great, either. Very morally grey.

Doesn’t much like that she’s halfblooded; and by that I mean she hates it. CANON DIALOGUE: I’m part veela, so that basically cancels out the halfblood ///:

2 good 4 u. Pompous, self-important, the list goes on. Probably scares people bc they never know what the fuck she’s going to do. A Reckless Nightmare ^TM.

i left out so many things this is rly only scratching the surface but uhhhhhhh, I’ve talked a lot so come love my trash baby she needs friends.

P.S. If I missed any triggers with the darker bit of her bio, pls let me know!

#intro.#pls pls hmu for plots y'all!

1🐝 Coming out story! So i came out to my mum more than a year ago. That was a period of time when i got some bad habits so we had arguments, & i used those as opportunities to drop hints about my depression as i was trying to ask her to get me to the doctor (i eventually told her few months later and got the treatment!) That resulted in some talks about me in general and she asked me about my femslash fanart she sometimes used to notice on my table

2🐝 I panicked but uttered "I... Like girls and not boys". Mum told me she was going to accept and love me anyway! Though she did tell me that she hoped that I'd maybe grow out of it and find a man, she doesn't show it anymore, she even supported me through a break-up once later on. And i saw her google and find some nice articles about LGB once i think. All in all, this wasn't perfect, but still good (especially in my homophobic country)! 🌟

3🐝 When i came out to my dad was when we were to go to another city and i asked him to let me go meet my friend there. I was permitted and then i once felt anxious about hiding it and told him the "friend" was my long-distance girlfriend! Dad said stuff like I Of Course Love And Accept You Be Happy But I'm Christian And Will Never Think Homosexuality Equals Heterosexuality but it was still nice, i even got to explain why prides are important & he liked my ex-gf when he got to meet her a bit.

4🐝 And concerning people who aren't my family members (also came out to my two cousins, they're a bit stereotyping bc of culture but not homophobic & Very Accepting) i was always very open and sometimes mentioned my lesbianism accidentally before my schoolmates. Some happened to not really care and with some i jumped into fierce arguments!

5🐝 To all who have a fear of coming out: first, ensure you'll be safe. If there's a risk, if your family's even slightly abusive/visibly rly homphobic — PLEASE stay safe until you're independent. If coming out doesn't seem risky remember that even if your parents try to disapprove your homosexuality, you'll be the one who's right and it'll be easier not having to hide anything! be sure to have a bit of text prepared, i used to imagine a whole dialogue script in my head, it helped w the panic

6🐝 And to those who are afraid of coming out to their friends: be prepared for a possible loss, as a friend who isn't willing to accept your authentic self isn't a true friend. But yet be brave as anything that will happen will only ensure you are or will be able to be in a more safe friendly and accepting environment.

7🐝 Some funny yet sad stories about parents also. My mum used to think at first that it's because of some environment so she used to ask casually about my friends "oh is Name also... Like that?" I was just really irritated by that.&Both of them asked me to Not Get Deep In This Maybe This Will Pass, DON'T BE CLOSED TO SOMETHING NEW!!!! and i was just like uhhhh cut this crap about Restrictive Lesbianism please, imagine being asked about this n your heterosexuality and see how pathetic it sounds.

8🐝 And yes it's such a problem with people making assumptions. This common trouble is when you come out and the person tries to tie and link EVERYTHING to your homosexuality. My parents used to ask me if i was going into therapy because of being a lesbian and i rolled my eyes so far i could see my brain. Tfw loving girls seems a more obvious reason for therapy than depression? ...well they wouldn't let me dye my hair red even before i came out because they thought Gay Ppl Do This. Ffs

Hey, there, honey! I’m so proud of you for seeking support from your mom, especially about your depression, because I know how daunting it can be, and I also took the longest time before I could ask my parents for help in that department, especially ‘cause I know my dad “doesn’t believe in mental illness”.

I’m really happy she came around for you. In homophobic countries it can be so tough coming out, and usually our parents come with a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be gay. For example, my mom, who supported me from day one about liking girls, once said that (although I have a brother and a sister) now she has two boys and one girl. When I asked her who the other boy was (already expecting it to be me), she said it was me...

It broke my heart and upset me so fucking deeply, because my love for women doesn’t make me a man it makes me a lesbian. But her hurtful comments always come from a place of ignorance, not of disregard for my feelings, so I can understand it and work through it with her.

You give some very valuable advice, and advice that’s very close to what I usually give: basically, be prepared for the worst, and sometimes not coming out is the best alternative! Stay safe always.

You’re lovely, and we’re thankful you shared your experiences with us! We’re very happy for you, that you’re able to live as your true self, and that you realize when your parents aren’t being super good about it, so you can fight back! Never change!
