Hi all! I'm Alex, I'm knew here. I also know quite a number of you by the looks of it! I'm mid 20s, and have just started a job as a receptionist/legal clerk in the city. My availability is a bit all over the place at the moment. Gdocs, Hangouts & Email are the best way to contact/do stuff for me as I can do all three on my phone. Despite that yay! I'm in Australia so GMT+10 which makes my hours even wonkier! I've only recently started to get back into HP after a four year hiatus due to reasons. Anyway, this is also my first time playing Millicent which has me excited. Her app turned into an essay. Seriously I've done uni essays shorter than that. Oops.
I've had to make up a lot of stuff that happened to people in the Ministry (ie Harold Minchmin for the app but if it clashes with anything in game please do let me know! It isn't set in stone). I also have her down as a friend of Augusta's so... That can also change if need be! I just figured they'd probably have known/got on well
Currently 66, she'll be 67 later this year. She is the oldest char in game by a bit by the looks of it!
She's an ex-Ravenclaw, c/o 1953 and was Prefect, Head Girl etc. She's the oldest of three children, with her siblings Roger and Eleanor being (twins) seven years younger than herself. Her parents had her quite unexpectedly rather young (not long after her mum left Hogwarts). She grew up living with Grandparents and her mother who was a stay at home wife. She was always a big reader and learner, took deportment lessons from the age of 10 as by then (growing up in a household that forced her father to often work double shifts + the depression led her want to be successful and not have to worry about where food will come from etc) and to her mind being able to hold herself & speak properly would make her go a long way.
Anyway, after Hogwarts she joined the DMLE as a Wizengamont Administrations person. Not long after that she meet Nicholas Brown an ex-Slytherin two years her senior. They 'dated' (she never really had any interest in any of these but she was interested by him, they got on well enough though for her it never really would go past friendship) for two years before he proposed. She accepted not because she really wanted to but because she felt it was the right thing. He got her drunk, took her to bed and left her for the continent. She ended up pregnant. Sometime in 1955 she gave birth to her daughter Cassandra Bagnold who she adores. Took a year off work before returning part time and eventually in 1960 full time again. Anyway ended up climbing ranks to Senior Undersecretary for the DMLE before in 1970 becoming Junior Undersecretary to the Minister and in 1975 the Senior Undersecretary.
1980! Harold Minchim the Minister before her. I have him assassinated along with his family making her temporary MoM. With the war election for Minster position didn't happen to early 1982. She's a grandmother! Isobel was born in 1982 to Cass and her unnamed husband (yay)
She lost the election to Fudge in 1990 and OH DEAR GOD THAT STILL RANKLES HER. She doesn't like him at all. Idiot.
From 1990 (I am lazy and copied the last two paragraphs of her app)
After much discussion with the new Minister, she took up position as Head of the Department of International Magical Co-Operation as well as claiming her seat on the Wizengamont as a former Minster of Magic. While it wasn't Law Enforcement, Millicent found she quite enjoyed the work that she was doing. In the next couple of years she worked closely with Albus in order to revive the Triwizard Tournament, which she made sure to attend all three events and was estatic, to see Hogwarts win. Most of all she was glad that it had been a success. She hopes that they can do it again.
Other than that, she has been a guest lecturer at Hogwarts to discuss Politics and the Ministry with interested people as well as holding various workshops at times. She's travelled a lot as part of her job but most of all she is enjoying the time that she can spend with her growing family with her granddaughter now an adult she's realising just how quickly time is passing.
So yes tl'dr Ex-Ravenclaw, Temp MoM from 1980-1982. Elected MoM 1982-1990. Current head of DIMC, guest lectures on politics/emntors people and member of the Wizengamont. Practicle, hard working, bookwork and loves order etc.
Me! I'm best available via theladyunicorn@gmail.com (email, hangouts and gdocs). I do ocassionally log into AIM at aladyunicorn. theladyunicorn is RL rambling and charlottebronte is Character/RP stuff.
I'm really excited to be here!
