Her face is oval-shaped and she has checks that have a light blush to them.OOOOOOOOOOOOOO ●○●○●○●○●Personality: Mildred's a kind of nerd of sorts, she's very intelligent and responsible at times, but can be pretty relaxed and chill at others. She's a naturally born leader, somewhat quiet, and keeps to herself, but that's what cool about her overall. If she tries, she can easily make friends, though she is a bit of an introvert.
History: Mildred never really knew her mother. All she knew was that she passed away a few months after giving birth to her and that he meant everything to her father. This wasn't enough for Mildred, so she pestered her father with questions and questions, wanting to know about someone she would never get to meet. And being the good father he was, he told her everything he could, and Mildred was comfortable with that. She could live with the memories of her mother and her loving father.
But then the woman came. She was nice to Mildred at first, always taking her out to buy ice cream, making her delicious pancakes in the morning, and buying her nice clothes. But Mildred knew something was off about her, and her guess was correct.
After her stepmother married her father, she brought in her three sons, who were all older than Mildred. At first, it was non-obvious signs, When Mildred would tell her father about a game she had won, her stepmother would roll her eyes and mumble under her breath. If her stepbrothers won a basketball game, her stepmother would get only the three of them ice cream, then turn to Mildred and say that she simply "forgot about her".
Then it got worse. Her stepmother would constantly show off her stepbrothers to her, telling her that she should be as smart as them and that she should do better in school. Mildred took this message and applied it, soon becoming one of the best students in her elementary school and gaining respect and love from all of her teachers.
This, of course, made her stepmother angry, her children were supposed to get all the attention and praise, and the stupid girl was getting it instead. So she went to Mildred's father and complained about how rude and unfair Mildred was being to the three boys.
Mr. Jackson was quite upset with Mildred's behavior and asked her to tell her why she was acting this way. As Mildred tried to explain her reasons to her father, Her stepmother spat out more and more lies about her stepdaughter's behavior and then decided to utter the most disgusting lie possible. That Mildred had tried to attack the poor woman and her three sons at night. To get rid of them and live alone with her father.
When she said that, Mr. Jackson became very conflicted. He had to choose between his daughter, who was the only thing left from his past relationship with his deceased love, or to listen to his current angry wife, and to him, everything she said seemed to be true. So he decided to give Mildred to her grandparents and to never speak to her again.
Mildred's first instance of magic occurred while she was living with her grandparents in New York. It was a chilly day out and autumn had just begun, so there were a lot of dead leaves lying around in piles. She was sitting near one of those piles when she felt a strong tickling sensation in her nose. Without controlling it, Mildred sneezed directly at the pile, and as she did, the leaves flew away as if it had been shot with a bullet of wind.

ReducioMildred's excellent work in school wasn't the only thing that the teachers liked about her. She seemed to have a sort of calming presence that would bring her educator's moods up. If the counselor had been dealing with a misbehaving kid earlier in the day and was stressed out, just simply talking or waving to Mildred would make their day a whole lot better. If you were to just look at her, you would feel a sense of relief and peace wash over you, as if everything was going to be okay just by standing by her.
When Mildred moved in with her grandparents, they started taking note of the odd ways people reacted around her, and the way their friends would comment on her; How they would say that they liked her polite and responsible nature and that she had a soft, calming smile. Mildred's grandparents, though, knew that her deceased mother had this calming ability as well, and she inherited it from her.
It wasn't until Mildred arrived at Ilvermorny that she noticed the sort of reaction her peers had when she would just talk or interact with them in any way. If she approached a student in her class with a frown, they would instantly seem at ease by just glancing at her. If she passed a couple having an argument, they would instantly calm down and instantly start apologizing to each other. This, of course, surprised her, and she sent an owl to her grandparents right away asking them what to do with this newly discovered ability. The letter she received back told her to simply use it to help others around her.
Mildred listened to their advice and decided to make some changes to her normal school schedule. She would choose the leader role in any group project, so if any member of her team doubted themselves or was stressed out, she would comfort them with encouraging words and speeches. Mildred soon became comfortable in the leadership role and was glad to help any of her peers out if they ever needed it. The idea of calming people down and helping them with schoolwork seemed fun to Mildred, it gave her a sense of honor and pride knowing that she could be known not just as a nerd, but as a nice, cool, and wickedly smart person, rather than just being ignored most of the time.
