Planned addition to the James household, the first and only child to a doting couple.
A silver-spoon upbringing, only ever knowing a life of luxuries. Anything and everything she desired was given to her, regardless of cost.
Parents showered their daughter in love, failing to ever be absent, especially when it came to momentous occasions.
Most friends within her social class were not as fortunate, their luxuries coming at the cost of present parental figures. Mila grew to learn she was lucky, and never took it for granted.
Perhaps it was just her nature, or if could be thanked on how she was raised, but Mila never developed the "brat-like" traits. The same could not be said for previous friends.
Parents always have, and will be, Mila's number one supporter. Encouraging anything that peaked her interest, and spilling the funds to ensure she has the full experience in exploration.
Sometimes, they would last only a couple of days to weeks, but sometimes they would stick. Ballet, violin and fencing were what time was most dedicated to.
Performing on stages, showcasing skills, earnt many medals and trophies. Only increasing the pride her parents had for her.
Heavily sheltered, learning lifestyles away from her own was uncommon. Seeing or learning about struggles was never first-hand.
Good intentions, behind the protection of their child, brought consequences. Mila grew to be blissfully unaware of the negativity which existed in the "real world".
When she was eighteen, parents agreed (after a lot of debate, and convincing) to allow Mila to move into her own residency.
An apartment within walking distance, humble by their standards.
New sense of independence came with risk, a young woman unaware of the dangers lurking around the corner.
Couple months into residing in her own place, Mila experienced a break in, whilst she was occupying the home.
Fortunately, if it could be classed as such, she came away with only a couple bruises. Fault of being shoved by the perpetrator, landing against furniture.
Material possessions lost were not worried over, aside from one item. Her mothers locket, gifted when she departed from the family home, a treasured keepsake.
Agreement was made that she could move further away, now too afraid to stay in the location. Moving to Evergreen Shores.
Finding of a roommate was essential, now too fearful to reside alone, but still earning for the independence.
Several years have passed, and whilst some days prove to be more difficult, Mila's naturally bright nature has returned.
Living off parents funds allows Mila to pursue passions in the art world, without fear of when the next pay check is coming.
Long term goals fail to be even a consideration, taking each day as they come has always been Mila's approach.
Imaginative and open-minded. Mila forever has some new idea on her brain, whether that be a new skill, or adventure, and she is not afraid to venture outside of her comfort zone to experience it.
To Mila, every person is important to her, whether they are friends or not. She makes an active effort to recognise the shifts in another person's mood or expression, and does what she can to accommodate. Having a caring, and considerate, nature, and being overly sensitive to other people's feelings and needs, Mila always wants to do what she can to support others. Even if it is methods she is not necessarily acquainted with.
When inspired, typically following the introduction of a new hobby, Mila wants to share it with anyone who will listen. She is known to ramble for a little too long, but always takes into consideration what others have to say. Mila is genuinely interesting in hearing other's ideas and opinions, even if they are different to her own.
Known for talking, perhaps a bit too much, Mila rarely runs out of things to say. That being said, she still is capable of being a good listener. Mila cares about what others have to say, which can create a comfortable, and sometimes a safe, environment to converse in. It has allowed her to make friendships with a wide variety of people.
Mila finds joy in the present moment, she is spontaneous and is known to act with little thought behind actions. This joy that she finds, she always wants to share it with other, getting a greater sense of satisfaction form others happiness.
Having an approachable nature, many find it easier to talk to Mila than most. She's altruistic, with a warmth that radiates, and can sometimes attract even the coldest of people. Mila strives to get along with everyone, and this approach has allowed her social circle to grow, spreading far and wide.
The idea of being disliked by another person brings Mila a sense of discomfort, because of this, Mila can often compromise on things that matter to accommodate. Sacrificing at the expense of her own feelings is a common occurrence. Mila can be treat like a doormat frequently, being treat poorly is something she will allow, for the sake of making another happier. Despite all these sacrifices, there are times people still dislike her, which she will lose sleep over ; wondering how she can change minds.
Interests are forever changing with Mila, and she frequently abandons newfound skills within a short time frame. Maintaining discipline over a longer time frame is challenging, and sticking with things is near impossible.
Extremely disorganized. Mila avoids boring and practical matters, struggling to focus when it comes to more important matters. It can cause issues, her parents having to bail her out on more than one occasion.
Whenever another person asks for guidance, or help, Mila will never hesitate to say yes. She has a strong desire to uplift others, but failing to set up boundaries, causes her to become overwhelmed. Becoming overcommitted, with a lack of time, causes issues.
Mila's outlook is seen to be overly optimistic. Her opinion on others is higher than most, which leads to well-intentioned but naรฏve decisions, believing those who haven't earned her trust. It lands her in hard situations from time to time, which is something she struggles to accept.
Outwardly, Mila always appears to be a happy-go-lucky person, rarely displaying signs of being upset. However, on the inside, she frequently experiences self-doubt. Questioning her abilities, and wondering if aspects of her life are good enough.
Since the incident at her first home, Mila finds it impossible to sleep alone. She does not have to have someone physically next to her, but in the same house/apartment. There are occasions, when she is having a hard day, when she feels that she needs someone besides her. It takes someone she is really close to, as it is when she is at her most vulnerable.
Being from wealth and never fully understanding the concept of expense, Mila is known to be overly generous. For those she is friends with, she is known to spoil them, whether that is with gifts, or dinner time dates. Anything that has a price tag on, she does not hesitate to cover the fee. Even if the other member of the party is fully capable for covering their cost.
Despite having what seems to be unlimited funds to decorate her home, it is not overly luxurious. She does not tend to care about whether an item is more expensive than another, only if it fits to her personal tastes. Most of the artwork hanging on walls is her own, or other artist friends, and potted plants are her go-to decoration.
Despite coming across as childlike, Mila is a hard worker and puts her all into everything she does. Sometimes forgetting to prioritise herself over work. Getting lost in paintings is a frequent occurrence, forgetting to tend to her own needs on the process, tirelessly working towards the final result.
Mila has never been above shopping, or dining, at inexpensive venues. Most inexpensive places, thrift shops or local diners (for example), are establishments she is not fully acquainted with ; parents rarely taking her. For this reason, she is more inclined to visit, always wanting to find someplace new.
To this day, Mila still actively practices with her violin. It is not something she would pursue as a career, no longer performing for crowds like she did when she was younger, but her own private concerts are something that bring her great joy. She is extremely talented, though she does not consider herself as such.
Extremely close with her parents. Mila still visits her parents at least once a week, always making the time to visit, whether it be going for a quick coffee or spending the day together. She has a lot of respect and love for them. Mila gets most of her advice from them, and values their opinion the most. If her parents like someone, they instantly get bonus points.
Avid lover of plushies, and stuffed animals. When the whole squishmallow craze was at its peak, Mila spent most of her time hunting down ones she had never seen before. Most of her collection is safely stored elsewhere, only a select few of her favourites in her room. A lot of her plushies that she treasures are extremely old and tatty, but she refuses to ever replace them.
Mila enjoys physical contact, there is rarely occasions that she is opposed to it. The type of person to link arms or hold hands with friends and is never opposed to cuddling up with friends on the couch. She respects boundaries, as much as she expects others to respect her own, even if hers a lot less than theirs.
Likes to draw on her arms and can often be seen with tiny doodles over her hands and fingers. If given the opportunity, sheโd draw on other peopleโs arms too, usually making it somewhat personalised.
