FAMILY 

Mother: Daniela Erin Abbott, neé Malfoy 

From the prominent Malfoy family, she was as beautiful as she was cunning, always one step ahead and wanting something better for herself. She was set to marry her future husband, Edward ‘Neddy’ Abbott since teenhood and did so... on her own terms. They had three daughters: Griselda, Caroline and Millicent. 

Father: Edward ‘Neddy’ Leopold Abbott 

A third son from the Abbott family, he wasn’t the heir and thus wasn’t required to continue the line. He nevertheless scored the best match and lived a fairly happy life with his wife. They had three daughters together. 

Other relatives: Griselda Albertine Abbott (older sister) future Mrs. Dubois

Quick-witted, with a razor tongue and incredibly intelligent, she was the oldest of the sisters and the one who made the grandest of the matches, and the one to introduce Millie to Lord Somerset. They get along best 

Caroline Sophia Abbott, future Mrs. MacMillan 

Caroline was the most beautiful and smartest of all the sisters, though she wasn’t very subtle and many were weary of her using them for their money. She ended up marrying into the MacMillan family and seemed content with her life. Her greed, though, would get her in Azkaban during the first Wizarding War. 

Friends: The Somerset sisters 

The sisters, especially Gia, were pivotal in her match with their brother Lawrence. They all trained her and taught her the ways into Muggle high society and thanks to that, the match was possible 

Significant Other: Lawrence Noah Somerset 

The sole heir to Winbourne, he was clever, quick-witted, direct and a bit mysterious. Millicent always challenged him and Laurie liked being challenged. They fell in love after WW2 and soon began courting, growing close every day. They were soon betrothed and married. Since Primrose was still alive, Margaret held the title Lady of Winbourne, and thus, for ten years, Millie and Laurie were Mr. & Mrs. Somerset. Everything changed when Lawrence’s grandmother died and Margaret finally became Viscountess. Since they were old, it didn’t last much and Lawrence soon began acting like the viscount with Millie by her side. She was the most charismatic and charming Viscountess of Winbourne, as well as the most beautiful, and together they had three children: Charles, Tatiana Primrose and Meghan Marie. During that time, Millie and her mother-in-law Margaret got along greatly and she became like a daughter to her

In 1970, Charles brought home a woman who he claimed he loved. Millie was reluctant, and Laurie debated that it may be a young man’s infatuation, but Millie knew her son well. She pondered this and decided to interrogate the poor girl, to discover that she was just an innocent woman who had travelled from Turkey for a better life. She decided to give her a chance and soon she was blessed with an engagement and a wedding that was crowned with a granddaughter, Valentina, in 1973. She spoiled her rotten and was her little girl, and looked like her son. 

Laurie and Millie lived a happy life, retiring in 1986 and retiring to their house in Madeira. Sadly, Millie suffered a car accident in 1997, a year before her great-grandchildren could be born, leaving Winbourne devastated. The papers wrote ‘Winbourne’s fairest rose has passed.’ and many mourned her death. Lawrence returned to Madeira after the funerals and never got over Millie’s death. He died in 2010, and was buried beside his loving wife. 

PERSONALITY

Overall personality: Millie is cheerful, charismatic, fun-loving and has a gift for people, though has that superiority of the pureblooded, but rarely shows it. 

Positive traits: Cheerful, charismatic, loving, funny and loves being around people. 

Negative traits: Has the superiority complex from the pureblood ideology she grew up into 

Guilty pleasure: She smokes cigarettes when stressed 

HOMETOWN

Abbott Manor, Edinburgh, 1932-1953 

Millie grew up spoiled and in fewer luxury than her future husband, having nice but not fashionable enough clothes. Her family was considered lower class in within the purebloods, not wealthy enough for high-society events. They could attend some when they invited their mother, a woman who had been a Malfoy. It all changed when she was introduced to Lawrence Somerset 

Winbourne Estate, Leeds, 1954-1997 

After her wedding to Laurie, she moved instantly to his house with the rest of the family, though they had a fashionable flat at Mayfair for themselves. Lawrence was a bit low in the hierarchy, often overlooked, and thus spent most of their time in London and another houses. They fell in love with the Mediterranean set in Madeira and often vacationed there. 

During one of her drivings in which she was smoking, the smoke became too thick and didn’t realise she was driving into a drunken truck driver and they clashed. The driver survived, but Millie, being in her sixties, didn’t, and died of the shock and wounds she had. The man was sued and died of mysterious circumstances before he could be released. Many believe that Charles avenged his beloved mother by sending in men to kill him. He was there, watching from a high place as they moved his dead body for the family to bury him. This remains a mystery with a probable answer, for the driver didn’t seem to have many enemies of high caliber... save the vindictive Charles. 

BACKSTORY 

Millicent was born on the 23rd of August, 1932, into a small branch of the pureblooded Abbott family. She had two older sisters, Griselda and Caroline, and her mother was a glamurous member of the Malfoy family. She grew up in rich rags, until she met the future Viscount of Winbourne during the celebration that the second world war was over, and they hit it off. They courted for a while, until in 1952, a week after Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, Laurie proposed in a family gathering. She said yes, and in 1954, they got married into the Primrose Chapel, that had been used by Lawrence’s grandmother to marry people who society shunned from marrying one another. 

Soon, in 1955, Charles came into the world, and with him, two daughters, Tatiana Primrose and Meghan Marie, would follow. They lived a happy life, and in 1986, Vincent stepped down for his old age to retire and left his son the reins, knowing that he was capable of it. 

The rest, is history. 

MISC

She has a wonderful sense of fashion and was actually a fashion icon for her sisters-in-law and the younger generations 

She was considered the most beautiful of the viscountesses of the modern day, though she couldn’t outdo Henriette or Joanna Knollys’ beauties 

She loved gardening and reading mystery books 

She was the one to introduce the television and bought it with her own money 

She also finished up the process of modernisation in Winbourne

Margaret, what is one lesson that Viscountess Primrose taught you about the world you came in when you married Vincent that you'll never forget?

Valentina, if you were able to see Sybil in heaven and tell her a phrase from three to six words, what would it be?

margaret: “she taught me to not let things people say get me down. society is a mess of backhanded assholes, but i need to keep my head up.”

valentina: “i would tell her that i love her. and that i’m sorry.”

MARGARET TAYLOR // FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES

“She was the first lady of the United States from 1849 to 1850 as the wife of President Zachary Taylor. She married Zachary in 1810 and lived as an army wife, accompanying her husband to his postings in the American frontier. She had six children, two of whom died in childhood while the remaining four were sent to boarding schools in the eastern United States. After a brief period of stable domestic life in the 1840s, her husband was elected President of the United States to her dismay in 1848. She managed the White House from the upstairs residence while she delegated her responsibilities as White House hostess to her daughter. She was highly reclusive throughout her tenure as first lady, which ended abruptly with her husband's death in 1850. She lived in obscurity until her death two years later.”
