Millie Sexton 🌻

Nino's younger sister, AKA the smarter sibling She/Her/Hers Oc rp account for Transformers Animated Run by @blueberrie-gachastuff

[millie-seconds]

Am I doing this right? I think I’m doing this right…

Hi there, I’m Millie, Millie Sexton. My older brother is Nino, he’s the one who suggested I start this blog because, as he says it, I “have no friends and need to expand my horizons past studying”. I think I’m fine though, I mostly made this blog because he would not drop the subject. So here I am I guess.

This might not be THAT bad though I guess. Mom and dad probably won’t find out about this account, they don’t really check my phone much let alone my life. But enough about that.

Here are some facts about me:

I’m sixteen years old and the youngest

Nino is the only sibling I have

I have a robotic leg (I was born without a leg)

I’m at the top of my classes and the smarter sibling (obviously)

I like sunflowers and writing stories

My favorite color is green

I enjoy taking walks in the park

I’m still unsure about what I want to be when I graduate

I don’t really have any rules aside from just don’t be gross please, and no flirting I guess. I’m fine with other stuff though

OOC here: Hey guys, it’s @blueberrie-gachastuff! I thought I should make an RP blog for one of my Transformers Animated ocs Millie. My ooc messages will be in blue while Millie’s will be in green. Millie is also completely unaware that Nino is a criminal (she doesn’t really find out until later on lore-wise) so don’t tell her. Otherwise feel free to send whatever asks you want :)

Getting bailed out of jail by one of his parents, that usually resulted in a lecture. What was worse was getting bailed out by Kate, somehow her disappointment was worse than whatever lecture his mom could come up with.

Kate and Nino have known each other since middle school, they've been friends since, which made it all the more ironic that Millie and AJ were also close friends as well. Kate and Nino didn't talk much now mostly because Kate was studying to be a lawyer at a college on the other side of Detroit, she was also engaged to her now fiance Booker, as far as Nino is aware the two planned on getting married after Kate's bar exam. Kate was a nice person which is why her and Nino got along so well, but one thing she hated was this, him stealing and getting caught and ending up in jail. Usually his parents bail him out, if Kate's bailing him out it means that his parents called her cause they couldn't get out of work to get him themselves.

It was late when he walked out of the police station, and, in that parking lot leaning against her car, was Kate. She wasn't happy, as he would expect.

"You." Kate started, "Have exactly one minute to explain what you did that caused you to end up behind bars. Again."

(@millie-seconds)

Nino pointed at her immediately. "Okay, first of all, before you start giving me that look, I wanna make it clear that this one wasn't entirely my fault." He was already walking toward the passenger side of her car, hands shoved into his pockets. "Mostly not my fault. Like... seventy percent not my fault." The moment he saw her expression, he winced. "Alright, maybe fifty-fifty." He opened the door and slid into the seat before she could say anything. "Look, some guy tried to sell me a stolen catalytic converter, I told him it was obviously stolen, he got offended, words were exchanged, somebody swung first, and apparently the cops don't care who started it when two idiots are yelling in a parking lot at midnight."

He sank lower into the seat and rubbed a hand over his face. "And before you ask, no, I didn't steal the converter. No, I wasn't buying the converter. No, I wasn't planning on stealing a converter later." His gaze drifted toward the window before settling back on Kate. "I know, I know. You're studying to be a lawyer and every time you hear my name come up in a police report you lose another year off your life."

[millie-seconds]

"Of course I do, dealing with whatever stunts you pull. I'm surprised I haven't gotten grey hairs yet."

She slid into the front seat and started the car, pulling out of the police station. The two sat there in silence before Kate sighed.

"Nino, you can't keep doing this, you've been in and out of jail more times than I can count, and you've got that whole Nanosec persona going on, don't think I never noticed it was you. You're too smart to keep landing in jail, you should've just walked away from the whole situation before things got ugly."

[blinkandyoumissnino]

Nino stared out the windshield as she pulled onto the road, his usual smart remarks dying before they could reach his mouth. For once, he didn't have some clever excuse ready. "Yeah, well..." He scratched at the back of his neck and looked away. "Walking away's easier when you're not already in the middle of it." His fingers drummed against his knee. "And before you say it, I know that's a terrible answer." A humorless laugh escaped him. "You and my parents always act like I wake up in the morning and put 'get arrested' on my to-do list. Most of the time I'm just trying to get through the day and somehow everything goes sideways."

The mention of Nanosec made him sink lower in his seat. "And as for that..." He sighed heavily. "You noticed because I wasn't exactly trying to hide it from you." Nino glanced over at her for a moment before looking back out the window. "Look, I know I'm screwing up, alright? I know I'm smart enough to do something else. Everybody keeps telling me that." His voice grew quieter. "But every time I try doing things the normal way, it feels like I'm pretending to be somebody else. Then I do one stupid thing, and suddenly that's all anybody sees." He rested his head against the window. "I don't know, Kate. Maybe I'm just really good at making bad decisions."

[millie-seconds]

"I know that you're not waking up every morning and putting "get arrested" on your to-do list, but I also know you've stolen some pretty expensive things most of the time as well, and, lets be honest, your parents are terrible, okay? Their opinions don't matter in this. How they treat you vs Millie says enough."

Kate glanced at him for a moment before looking forward, keeping her eyes on the road. She stopped at a red light.

"I never really understood why you resorted to committing crime in the first place. Last time we talked before I left for college you had a decent job. I'm sure you didn't bother trying to hide the whole Nanosec thing from me, but what about Millie? She's a smart girl, she's gonna find out about it eventually. You can't keep stealing things, Nino, someone's gonna get hurt eventually, especially with all the giant bots around the city. Cybertronians? Pretty sure I said that right. I really don't trust that giant grey one with the red eyes, he gives me the creeps..."

She shuddered before she focused again.

"You know you can talk to me about anything, right? Even if it's to talk about how God awful your parents are like we used to do back in High School. If you just need to vent about anything I'm always open to listen. I worry about you Nino, you're my closest friend."

[millie-seconds]

I've never really liked how I looked.

I never really understood that part to be honest. I'm not unattractive in the sense, I've always been a rather pretty girl, mom says that I get it from her. I just don't know what it is about my appearance that I hate. I don't mind my hair color, I've always liked my eye color, I love my glasses, my face is fine. So what is it that bothers me so much about myself?

I think it's a part of the reason why I'm not a fan of mirrors, or most reflective surfaces I guess. I never noticed it much as a kid, just felt the weird feeling and moved on with my day. I told mom about it once and she said it was probably just a phase that I'd grow out of, kids hate weird things all the time. But it never really did go away, I honestly noticed it more as I got older, especially once I hit high school and once Laura and I stopped being friends. I mostly just try to ignore the feeling now, it's not like I can really avoid mirrors, otherwise my hair would always be a mess. Sometimes I catch myself staring at my reflection for too long but I usually snap out of it and go about my day like normal.

I haven't told mom or dad about it, they'd just say it's a phase they'll grow out of. I haven't told Nino about it either, I'm probably just thinking too deeply into this.

[blinkandyoumissnino]

"So, is your brother coming by today or are you walking alone like always?"

Millie stood near the gate of the high school with her friend AJ. Normally, the two would've walked home together, but AJ's older sister, Kate, was gonna pick him up cause they were seeing a movie in a bit, and Millie was waiting for Nino.

"Yeah he's coming, he texted me during lunch and asked me if I wanted him to walk me home today, he said we'd probably swing by 711 too."

"Damn it's been a while since I've seen him, how's he doing anyway? I think the last time I spoke to him was when you and him came by during band practice, back in junior year before Kate went back to college."

"He's fine, I think. He came by last Monday morning before school, said he was doing his own thing like always but he DID mention something about seeing someone. Him and my parents also go into some sort of argument but I was never able to figure out what it was."

"Really? Dang." AJ thought for a moment. "Kinda wish the dude came by more often, he's pretty cool."

Millie sighed.

"Me too, but he's a adult with his own job, and he probably avoids coming home often cause of our parents."

"Hey I don't blame him, if I was his age with parents like yours then I wouldn't come home often either. No offense Mils."

"None taken. Do you-"

"Millie dear!"

Millie turned around, already knowing who the voice belonged to. Preston Monroe, rich kid who transferred last year and has since had his sights on Millie. She didn't really have any hate against Preston, he was nice after all, but he was also extremely persistent when it came to trying to win her heart. Preston was charming, and his persistence was rather endearing to her. Millie did find his charms rather...captivating, but she would never admit it out loud, she'd rather die on the spot. Plus, she'd rather focus on getting good grades than romance.

"Preston if this is you asking me out on a date you already know my answer."

"of course I do, you always say you need to focus on getting the best grades so you can get into a good university, I know. I just wanted to see if my favorite girl in the school would like me to walk her home today."

"Maybe some other day Preston, my brother's gonna walk me home today."

"Oh? I didn't know you had a brother."

AJ leaned over and whispered to Millie as Preston continued talking.

"Oh Nino's gonna HATE him."

"Nino hates most guys that aren't you AJ."

The two stood there as Preston kept talking. Millie and AJ both noticed Nino standing behind Preston (with Preston being blissfully unaware), the two looked at each other before looking back at Preston then at Nino. Millie was considering on if she should let Preston know that Nino was glaring holes into his head or if she should let him find out himself.

Nino was leaning against the hood of his beat-up car across the street, scrolling through his phone while he waited for Millie to get out of school. He only looked up when he spotted her coming through the gates, and immediately noticed the guy standing with her. His eyes narrowed. Not because the kid was doing anything wrong, necessarily. Just on principle. With a sigh, he shoved his phone into his pocket and headed over, already wearing a smile that was friendly enough to pass as polite. "Millie," he called, draping an arm over her shoulders once he reached her side. "There you are."

His gaze shifted to Preston, sizing him up in a matter of seconds. Nice clothes. Rich kid posture. Definitely the guy. Nino stuck out a hand. "Nino. Big brother." The emphasis was impossible to miss. He kept smiling, but there was a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looked the other teen over. "So you're the famous Preston I've heard about." He tilted his head slightly. "Can't say I was expecting somebody who looks like they schedule appointments to have fun." The joke landed with an easy grin, but Nino wasn't above making it clear he was keeping an eye on anyone interested in his little sister.

[millie-seconds]

“Yes I’m sure you have heard of me through Millie. Anyway, I suppose I should be leaving now. I’ll see you tomorrow!”

The tree watched as he left and walked towards a rather expensive car. Once Preston was out of earshot Millie and AJ looked at Nino.

“So are you gonna glare at every boy who so much as looks in my direction or just Preston?”

“Hey my money’s on it being just Preston, that guy follows you around like a lost puppy, it’s cute.”

“Really AJ?”

Millie gave him a deadpan look, AJ shrugged.

“What? You gotta respect the commitment the guys has. Plus, he’s nice, it’s a win-win situation. Also, your blushing."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are, your cheeks are red, no denying it."

[cybertronian-enthusiast]

"Hey... Your Rae, right? You're the girl who studies those giant robots around the city. The- Cybertronians? I think I said that right... I have a question about them, well, about one in particular."

(@millie-seconds)

Rae looked over the rim of her data pad and raised a brow. Not maliciously, simply curiosity. It wasn't often that people asked for assistance with information. Well... Humans, at least. "Oh? Yeah, that's me. What information do you need?"

[millie-seconds]

"I ran into this bot yesterday, orange, loud, I think he said his name was Wreck Gar. He was nice but I may have...freaked out a little when I first met him, it was my first time being face first with any bot and I feel really bad for freaking out cause I didn't mean to I just-"

She sighed.

"Sorry, I started rambling there a bit. I want to know a bit more about him and you seemed like the best person to go to for information like this."

[cybertronian-enthusiast]

She lowered her pad with a slight chuckle. "Ah, that one. Don't worry, he won't have taken offense to it. I can assure you. He's a good one. Not bright, but a good one." Rae pulled up her dossier on Wreck-Gar. "Depending on what you wish to know, I can give you various information. His core stats, his preferences, even down to the times of the day where he is more subdued."

[millie-seconds]

"Wow, that's- a lot. Okay, Uh, I guess start with the simple stuff first? His personality, core stats like you said, just basic stuff I should probably know about him. Sorry I'm kind of new to all of this."

[cybertronian-enthusiast]

[millie-seconds]

Despite what Nino thinks, I do too have friends! Well, I have one friend, his name is AJ and we met around freshman year, he’s a nice dude and he plays electric guitar.

And, well, there was this girl who I used to be friends with, Laura, me and her had been best friends since first grade, she lived close by, and still does, so I’d go to her house as much as possible or she’d come over to my house, we were really close and we used to do everything together.

We were close the beginning of freshman year, we were excited to be high schoolers and had so many plans about what we wanted to do that year and who we wanted to be. But we started drifting apart a little and by the middle of freshman year she dumped me to hang with the popular crowd, she was so rude about it too! I was really distraught to just lose my best and only friend so suddenly, but I did eventually meet AJ so things are better now.

I found this old photo of us that I took the first day of school. God I look so weird… Laura was always the prettier one out of us, but she used to be so sweet and now she’s just a bully who loves antagonizing me. I don’t even know why she suddenly changed, it was like a switch flipped.

I’m honestly thinking about getting rid of this photo, it’s just really old and I don’t want it laying around.

[blinkandyoumissnino]

Sunlight filtered through the kitchen windows as Millie walked downstairs, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes. The smell of coffee lingered in the air, not entirely unusual for a weekday. Their mom, Elaine, stood at the counter with her work tablet in one hand and her coffee in the other, while their father, Victor, sat at the table with the newspaper. Neither looked up when Millie entered the room.

"Morning Millie, there's cereal in the pantry if you'd like some. Don't be late to school either like you were Monday, you know how I feel about tardiness."

Elaine said, looking at Millie briefly before going back to her work notes. Victor only gave a small, stiff nod.

"You got your homework done last night, correct? Don't start slacking off now, it's important that you get a good scholarship to a good university."

Millie didn't say much, she simply grabbed the cereal box from the pantry and poured herself a bowl before she sat down. She may have only been 16 years old, yet she knew where she stood in her parent’s hearts. On paper, Millie was the perfect daughter, straight A’s, top of her classes, almost never argued with her parents, always listened, she was most parent’s dream child, just…not her own parents dream child, they already had that with Nino, Millie was an accident.

"Yes I did my homework last night, dad. I'd never slack off when it comes to school."

Victor gave a hum of acknowledgement before he went back to reading the newspaper.

"Good. Keep it that way. You've got that science fair coming up, correct? Make sure you actually put in effort, Last year's project was...adequate, but I'm sure you can do better."

Victor nodded.

"Your brother was always exceptional with his science project, won three years in a row. You have the same blood, no excuses."

The comparison hung heavy in the air, Millie didn't respond, she was used to them comparing her to Nino, doesn't mean that it hurts less the more she gets used to it. Thankfully, the front door clicked open before she could think too deeply about it.

(@millie-seconds)

The front door slammed open with considerably more force than necessary, followed by the rapid thunk-thunk-thunk of shoes being kicked off. Nino Sexton sauntered into the kitchen, holding a casserole dish with..surprisingly good looking handmade sea salt caramel brownies he had baked and bright orange hair somehow still perfectly intact despite whatever speed-related nonsense he'd gotten up to before breakfast. He was halfway through pulling off his jacket when he caught the tail end of Victor's comparison. His expression immediately soured. “Oh, for crying out loud,” Nino muttered, dropping his bag beside the door. “Can we seriously not do the ‘Nino was better’ thing before I've even had coffee?”

He strode into the kitchen, set the dish onto the counter, and waved a hand mock-accusingly at his father. “For the record, I won those science fairs because I actually liked building stuff. Not because I had some magical Sexton super-genius blood or whatever.” He glanced toward Millie, his expression softening for just a second before the usual cocky smirk returned. “And if anybody's expecting her to beat my record, that's their problem. Three years in a row is a boring record anyway. Besides, if she builds something that explodes, then we can talk about excellence.”

[millie-seconds]

“I’m just saying kid, three years in a row is still a big deal.”

Millie sighed and pushed her chair back from the table, she grabbed her now empty bowl and put it in the sink.

“Can you guys please not argue before I have to go to school? It’s too early for all of that.”

Elaine finally put down her work tablet.

“Right. Nino dear how have you been? It’s been a while since you last stopped by, I hope life has been treating you well. You don’t usually stop by in the mornings unless your giving Millie a ride to school.”

There’s a noticeable shift in her behavior when she addressed Nino vs Millie, it’s was hard not to notice. Their parents tried to be subtle, but they weren’t very subtle, they were actually terrible at being subtle about these things. Millie never said anything though, she’d rather keep the peace than cause an argument between their parents. Millie was always the bigger person when it came to their parents.

[blinkandyoumissnino]

Nino's smirk faded a little at the shift in Elaine's tone. He noticed it, of course he did. He'd spent his entire life knowing exactly how his parents treated him compared to Millie, and while he'd gotten used to being the favored one, that didn't mean he was blind to what it cost her. “I've been fine, Mom. Busy. Work, running around, the usual. Hanging out with..someone special.” He glanced toward Millie as she headed for the sink, then back at Elaine. “And no, I wasn't actually here to give her a ride. I just happened to be in the neighborhood.” A beat. “Figured I'd stop by before somebody decided to turn breakfast into the Sexton Family Achievement Awards.”

He leaned back against the counter, folding his arms. “Seriously, though, you guys don't have to do the whole ‘Nino is our pride and joy’ routine every time I'm around. It's weird.” His eyes flicked toward Millie again, his voice losing some of its teasing edge. “Especially when you're doing it right in front of her.” He shrugged, trying to play it off before the room could get too heavy. “She's got nothing to prove to me. Three science fair trophies? Great. Four? Cool. Zero? Also cool. Just don't ask me to help with the project unless you're prepared for me to make it significantly more dangerous.”

[millie-seconds]

“We’re just saying Nino-“

“Can you guys stop arguing about this? Seriously, it’s too early.”

Millie sighed, her voice had come out more irritated than she intended.

“Sorry, I was up late studying, you guys know how it is. I’m gonna go grab my backpack.”

She left the kitchen, leaving Nino alone with their parents. Victor lowered his voice once she went upstairs.

“You’re not in trouble with the law again, are you? Last time you were I had to leave work early to bail you out of jail after you got caught stealing from that jewelry store down the street again.”

[blinkandyoumissnino]

OOC post: Facts about Millie!

Millie wanted to be a ballerina when she was younger and made the mistake of telling her mom about it, her mom told her that she’d likely never be a ballerina given her robotic leg and told her to “be realistic”, Millie was 6 at the time. Since then she has never told her mom anything about what kind of job she’d want

Millie loves this specific brand of mini cake snacks and she always buys them with the money she gets from her part time job, unfortunately for her, so does Nino and he always steals hers

Her favorite bug is dragonflies

She HATES being home when her parents argue, while it’s kind of uncommon for her parents to argue it’s a bit scary when they do (mostly because their dad is LOUD when he yells), she’ll sometimes sneak out and just go to Nino’s place when she can’t stand it

Nino and Millie’s parents are named Elaine and Victor Sexton

Millie is disturbingly independent for a 16 year old, she tends to take care of basically everything herself

Along with sunflowers, Millie also likes lilacs, marigolds, snapdragons, forget-me-nots, and oleanders

Millie is aware of the difference between how her parents treat Nino vs her, they try to be subtle but they’re not, she just never brings it up

I know you ate half of the snacks I bought with my money, there was a whole box of those cake things I like and I only took two with me to school and when I came home and went to go have another and there was one left in the box.

I know you took them Nino, your the only other peri know who likes that specific brand, mom and dad don’t touch them. You owe me, and stop stealing my snacks go buy your own!

As I did state in my intro post Nino is my older brother, and, as the smarter one out of us siblings in my opinion, I think it’s safe to say that Nino checks off all the boxes for being an annoying overprotective brother.

I’m being so serious, I love Nino but GOOD LORD is he annoying sometimes. Outside of the general teasing when it comes to my awkward personality and weird sleep schedule from studying (which I KNOW he’s not talking Mr. I-stay-up-late-until-2AM-doing-god-knows-what) he is really overprotective of me, especially when it comes to guys my age (which, by the way, I have no big interest in romance whatsoever, I have to focus on my grades so I get into a good university), like- just last week I was talking to this jock guy who I got partnered up with for science and Nino swung by to pick me up (cause he does that sometimes, I usually take the bus too and from school) and I swear to god he was glaring at the guy like he insulted our entire bloodline.

But, as annoying as Nino is (which is really annoying), I don’t hate him. He’s nice when he’s not being an idiot (which is most of the time), and I know he’s overprotective cause he cares, even if it’s really annoying most of the time. He’ll bring me food when mom and dad are busy at work and I have to fend for myself, which is most of the time since they’re always busy working, and if I’m gonna be honest he’s been more emotionally available with me than our parents have (they both probably mentally checked out once I was born).

I’m not saying I hate him, I don’t, I think Nino is cool, I’m just saying he’s a very overprotective idiot who’s fallen down the stairs in our house at least eight times whenever he visits. I’m surprised he hasn’t broken anything, yet.
