Milia
MinorA tall, willowy young woman with a bony frame and slight hunch to her narrow shoulders, Milia moves with the purposeful stride of a hardened survivor. Her long, horse-like face dominates her appearance, featuring a prominent nose that wrinkles in observation and a mouth that readily forms content grins, all framed by the rough, unkempt look of someone who has endured the savage contests of the Institute. Rags and stolen furs wrap her spare form while her low drawling voice and gritty demeanor mark her as a capable leader among the Oathbreakers, undeterred by mockery of her gargoyle-like features.
Milia begins as a hardened, horse-faced survivor among the Oathbreakers in the Institute, her bony frame and gritty leadership marking her as a capable fighter in the savage contests of Red Rising. By Golden Son, she has transitioned into a minor political ally within House Augustus, her presence reduced to a fleeting glimpse amid the maneuvering Golds. In Iron Gold, she reemerges as a pale, nihilistic warrior of the Republic, piloting a starShell into battle before her body is torn apart, underscoring the brutal cost of war on its supporting fighters.
