Millicent Battersby

== The Exile ==
"What is this place? Am I in hell? One moment fighting the Devil's spawn sword to claw, the next I am here in this light and noise. What manner of clothes are those? Blimey! There's the creature! After it!
== Introduction (Original Timeline) ==
Millicent is a possibly young woman of indeterminate age and a legendarily talented Witch who was living in England during the year 1596. During an intense battle with her nemesis, Dorcas Crocker, her rival opened up a portal and Millicent chased her into it, finding herself in Saint Mary Vincent in the year 2021. 
Confused and mystified by this new and complicated world, Millicent was unsure of how to proceed. The first person she spoke to was a strange young women ambling through the night on a metallic pony names Taffy Bhatt. Sensing that Millicent was connected to a divination she had performed earlier that day, Taffy took her in and helped her to make sense of the strange new world she found herself in.
What followed was several curious incidents involving the strange inhabitants of her new town, some supernatural creatures she had only heard whispers about in the backrooms of shady taverns, and a suspicious offer to work for a disreputable Collector. Not long after, Millicent and Taffy decided to accept the invitation of Nana Hazard to join P.I.E.and become the founding members of Hazard Squad.

Due to Hazard Squad's defeat of Warden Tir in Scotland, an abundance of material on witchcraft that did not survive into the present of the original timeline is now well preserved, and the execution of over 400 witches during the Great Scottish Witch Hunt of 1597 was prevented. 
Millicent Battersby is historically regarded as the Mother of Witchcraft.
Without intervention, the small child Dorcas Crocker would have lived a brutal life, barely surviving in an abandoned home after her mother was killed by Warden Tir. Due to Millicent's (hesitant) kindness, having taken her into the village to find someone to look over her, she is slightly less evil. 
== Conversations ==
=== With Jarsten Kimblew ===
* Jarsten is actually really terrible at reading tarot cards, but he’s extremely empathetic, so he just uses the subjects’ own feelings to guide him. Because of this, he also gives extremely good advice and is an excellent negotiator. The downside to this is that he can be easily overwhelmed in large groups and is most comfortable with people who are straightforward and don’t try to hide their feelings. That’s probably why he likes you so much. Not that he….what he means is… um… well, anyway, please don’t tell Taffy he’s cheating at tarot cards.
* Relatively recently, Nessie joked that Hector was so loud when he played in the park as a kid, she let one of the Hazard kids bite him and that’s why he is the way he is. It was clearly a joke, but Nana happened to hear her and became immediately and absolutely despondent. She vowed that she would take responsibility, wrote Hector a check for $250,00.00 as a “down payment”, gave him the keys to her car, and couldn’t stop snotty crying until she was basically hyperventilating. Nessie laughed like a madwoman the entire time. Hector panicked and showed Nana every single scar on his body to prove that none of them were toddler-teeth shaped. It took over an hour.  In the end, it turned into a nice bonding moment between those two, but that Nessie lady is terrifying.
=== With Grayson Larson ===
* Originally opened the Emporium with a girlfriend in the 90s believing that they shared the same metaphysical dream. One day she was offered a chance to be Stevie Nicks in a low-rent Fleetwood Mac cover band called Mac Attack. The song ‘Landslide’ sends him into an unmitigated rage, and he always pretends the credit card machine doesn’t work if he gets a customer named Rhiannon (which is pretty frequent when you work in witchy retail).
* Used to be drinking buddies with Max Hazard, father of the Hazard kids. At one point, Max was imprisoned by an unnecessarily sexy necromancer in Amsterdam for two years. When he finally broke free, he came back expecting a hero’s welcome, but everybody just thought he had run off and abandoned his kids, who were in pretty pitiful shape at the time. He was nearly run right back out of town angry-mob-with-pitchforks style. When he tried to hug his youngest kid, Scout, she went full stranger-danger mode and bit him so hard he ended up losing part of his ear. The absolute bloodbath bought him enough time to explain himself, at least.
== Fire and Rain (Current Timeline) ==
Millicent was able to infiltrate the Fairday Hills State Hospital and gain access to Dorcas Crocker, whom she confronted about the Jar of Salamander Eggs left in Cabin 105. Using strategic bribery (a chicken sandwich), Millicent was able to learn more details on the creature, including its weaknesses.
In order to combat the salamander, two Giant Garter Snakes, approximately 20' long, were summoned to Big Chonk Lake Park, where they escaped after defeating the monster. They are fertile.
Millicent contacted P.I.E. to take custody of the one Witch Lizard still captive in the Big Chonk Lake Park Environmental Center.
The day following this incident, while having breakfast at the Broadway Grill & Pub, Millicent was contacted (through Hector Paxton) by Pixie Hazard, who told her that Jarsten Kimblew has gone missing from the place they are staying in Gortys, and she and Ginger Hazard are unable to find him. She frantically begged Millicent to come to Greece as soon as possible to help locate him, and begged her not to tell her sister that Jarsten is missing.
