Milly

"In case you're wondering, my name's Milly."

**Milly** is one of the main protagonists of *Leeko: The Series*, along with Leeko, Manny, and Moonlight Man. She is the daughter and eldest child of King Leonardo's Cabinet Minister, Sir Chanter, and his wife, Lady Chanter. She lives with her parents and younger brother, Manny, in Castle Leonardo.

## Physical appearance

Milly is a young girl with pale yellow skin, black marking around her large expressive green eyes with three visible eyelashes, and long orange hair in pigtails held by small, blue bows. Her usual outfit consists of a cyan, long-sleeved dress with a white collar, two medium blue buttons and a blue hem, white bottoms, and cerulean blue shoes. She is about twice Leeko’s height.

## Personality

Milly is very intelligent for her age, with much of her interest being in the environment, with her favorite subject being marine biology. Because of this, she is usually the one to explain things in many episodes, and is often the one to form plans to solve any conflicts, as well as giving Leeko advice in battle. She can also be short-tempered and definitely speak her mind on things, especially when she thinks King Leonardo is up to no good. Her outspoken attitude and intelligence is looked down on by Leonardo and Tommy, often calling her a ‘troublemaker’, a ‘rebel’, or a ‘party pooper’, and scoffed at by the fellow Puffies.

Milly also has moments where she forces her opinions on others, holds grudges, is easily suspicious, stubborn, and quick to judge. When she’s annoyed/angry, she ends up making mistakes and can accuse others of things they didn’t do. Milly is also naive, so she is still young and inexperienced, which Leonardo and Tommy use to their advantage at times. She is naturally caring towards others and does value her friendship with Leeko, as she truly cares about him.

Milly is also shown to be extremely protective of the people and things she cares about and won't hesitate to reprimand who she believes is in the wrong, even if that individual is pointing a weapon at her. Due to her noble status, Milly is also extremely proud, which her opponents take advantage of, but Milly will always do her best to keep an optimistic point of view.

## Role in the series

### Leeko: The Beginning

Due to Leeko's inability to speak in full sentences, Milly can be seen as the main speaking protagonist of the show, which is accentuated by the fact that she often takes the role of lead character in episodes until Leeko needs to step in to deal with a monster. The show establishes the relationship between Milly and Leeko as the most prominent one in the narrative, with Moonlight Man in particular pointing out that it is only Milly who can call Leeko's Shooting Star due to being the only one who cares the most about him. As the show goes on, Milly becomes the one primarily responsible for Leeko's safety when he isn't battling a monster, and goes to great length to defend him from the various schemes of King Leonardo or the misgivings of the people of Puffy Town. Due to her youth and inexperience, Milly often requires assistance at this task, and usually receives the most meaningful advice from Moonlight Man, who she looks up to as a mentor. At one point, she even learns self-defense techniques from the cloaked swordsman, giving her some proficiency in fighting by the end of the series, though still not enough to battle tough monsters.

Aside from her role as Leeko's main guardian, Milly is usually the first source of expository information about whatever subject matter an episode focuses on due to her encyclopedic knowledge of many things, particularly when it comes to environmental issues. She is often the one who has to educate and/or warn the Puffies about varying phenomena, whether they end up listening to her or not. Milly is also usually the one responsible for doing the investigative work necessary to solve the main dilemmas in most episodes, with assistance from her close cohorts, including Manny, Helios, Luna, and sometimes even Leeko.

## Trivia

* In some concept arts of Milly, she was originally going to have black hair in a bob cut. This would be the final design for the later character Diamond.
* Out of all the characters in the series, she is the only character who can call for the Shooting Star since Leeko doesn’t have the knowledge to.
* Milly is always one of the very few characters, aside from Moonlight Man and Professor Antico (though he does have his moments), to not get involved or become suspicious about any situations set up by King Leonardo and Tommy.
* Milly, along with Chef Peppermint and her family, are the only known Puffy characters in the show to not have a mushroom cap or a humanoid appearance.
* In the first thirteen episodes of *The Beginning* series, Milly’s hair had a more reddish tinge before it became a brighter orange color for the rest of the series.
* In the episode Baked Baddies, Milly can be seen watching television with her family. This is a very rare moment, as Milly has been known to dislike it.
