## **Backstory**

Mil is a muggleborn "witchard" with a penchant for muggle games. Mil is an Ilvermorny alumnus. From their 3rd thru 7th year, they played the position of Keeper on the Horned Serpent Quidditch team. Mil was the first victim of E.E. Puck, known in the States as "The Puppeteer," who imperiused them in order for the Wampus Quidditch team to beat the Horned Serpent team.

From 2004 thru 2014, Mil was continually subjected to the Imperius Curse at the hands of Puck. Not much is known of Mew's life during this period. We know that Puck required that they keep their hair long. On Nov. 7, 2014, Ellawese Varnas broke Puck's hold over his "puppets," including Mil. Mil chopped off their hair and went back to school to regain the four years of education lost under the Imperius Curse. In the Fall of 2019, they started their first job as a Muggle Studies Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## **Arcs**

### Hogwarts D&D (#hogwartsdnd)

Mil organizes Dungeons and Dragons for students and professors alike. Student campaigns and one-shots operate during free weekday periods. Professor campaigns and one-shots meet on Friday evenings at The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. [1]

### Death Day Party (#deathdayparty)

Mil was in attendance. They danced awkwardly and enthusiastically.

### Argon's Army - Hogwarts Battle

Mew took a minor combative role during the Hogwarts battle and sustained no injuries.

### Professors in Pajamas (#profsinpjs)

While attending the professor pajama party, Mil was pranked by Alaric Locke. Alaric transfigured their hair from short to long, triggering a flashback to their time as a victim of Puck's Imperius Curse. [2][3] This caused them to flee the party.

### Alaric Locke's Funeral (#alaricsfuneral)

Upon learning of Alaric's death, Mil decided not to cut their hair despite the reminder it serves of their time as one of Puck's puppets. Alaric's reunion with Mil upon his return was a joyful one. [4]

## **Relationships**

### E.E. Puck

Puck's role in Mil's life is that of the primary antagonist. After initially imperiusing Mil, Puck decided to keep them as a 'pet.' While most of Puck's puppets were chosen for a coveted ability, Puck maintained that he kept Mil because they were weak.

### Professor Ellawese Varnas

Given their shared experience as victims of Puck's Imperius Curse, Ellawese and Mil have a unique understanding of one another's trauma. Since recovering their agency, the two have become close friends.

### Professor Brooks

Mil and Brooks are fellow Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts. Brooks acts as Dungeon Master for Mil, allowing them to develop a Wizard pc.

### Professor Alaric Locke

Alaric befriended Mil upon their arrival at Hogwarts. During the #profsinpjs slumber party, Alaric transfigured Mil's hair back to its puppeteer-days length. [5] [6] When Alaric seemingly died, Mil decided to keep their hair long in remembrance of Alaric. [7] Upon his return [8], the two realized how much they had missed each other. [9][10]
