A promised addition to my New Year's post about this new cute OC lady~
As I said, Mildrid is Berserker Island's citizen, who ended up in a very close and warm relationship with Heather, but how and why exactly is a bit complicated..
So before telling about her, I would like to mention that Mildrid exists within the confines of my ~Heather's amnesia theory~
This theory actually changes the perception of Heather through the show quite MUCH.. And also adds a lot of other follow-up ideas, such as the fact that in this scenario many of Berserker island's inhabitants may actually remember her quite well (since from their perspective she was lost for no more than 4-5 years) and she could even possibly have friends there who remember her pretty well, but absolutely not remembered by her.
So.. This is exactly who Mildrid is! And not just her old fella, but her former best friend from their deep childhood.. to the moment of Heather's amnesia:,>
Heather was EXTREMELY important person in Mildrid's life, her only friend, who was always supportive, while many other kids bullied her for being "too shy" and bc of her big face scar..
They spent A LOT of time together, but one day Heather just disappeared.. (Went with her brother and part of the fleet to the trading island to meet Oswald from some trip and never returned)
Unable to obtain any information, Mildrid spent all last years in full unknowing about her friend's fate, but never lost her hope of seeing her again.
And when this day finally come.. (after the ep. "Gold rush" when Dagur and Heather come back home together for the first time) ..their meet started with a lil misunderstanding😶
I mean, how would you feel if you met your bestie, whom you hadn't seen in years, and she greeted you with something like: "Oh, hey girl! Nice to meet you, what's your name?))":,>
Long story short, at first, this obviously was a total heartbreak for Mildrid, she couldn't understand how possibly her friend completely forgot her in just a few years, gets scared, and runs away..
Heather was also left pretty confused, but then getting some information from Dagur, finds Mildrid by herself, they finally clear things up and agree to start over~
Ofc Mildrid felt sad that her dearest person doesn't have any memories about their old friendship, but decides, that she still can give her new ones.
And Heather was probably just happy to get a second person on the island besides Dagur to trust and to spend time with~
I think they'd become a really good friends again pretty fast, Mildrid would help Heather a lot in her adaptation in the new place, telling her stories about their younger selfs, and I guess, Heather would appreciate it pretty much❤️
