Background
| Millicent Collins a.k.a. Millie the Model grew up in Sleepy Gap, Kansas, a small town. She was a hard worker, and actually had potential for tennis, a sport she loved. When she wanted to attend the elite Wayde Tennis Academy, her rich Aunt Mellie offered to sponsor her tuition and hired her coach.
No matter how hard Mill - who hated being called Millie at the time - worked, she was the last ranking (well, after the other last ranker got kicked out of the school). Her coach spent more time on his phone and smooching up to other people then actually training her, she was frustrated, hurt at losing all the time, and her Aunt Millie didn't believe she knew what was best for her! Not only that, she was about to lose her place in the school. That is when Walt showed up in her life.
Walt was a former big name coach with years of experience under his belt, before he seemed to have lost his touch, started drinking, and got further into debt. He saw Mills potential however, and earned her trust. Mill started getting better, improving her serve accuracy, and actually winning! Walt also taught her an important rule; muscles needed one day out of the weak to rest to get better.
His wife Wendy did a make-over for Mill on her first day off, and she loved it! Well, after she got over the shock of not practicing from 6 a.m. till night fall anyway. Wendy was also a former model, and is the one that got Mill to do a photo shoot for fun. For money to be set aside for college or backup plans, she actually helped Mill get her first paying model job, for a Tennis company actually.
While Mill went through many issues in those short months where her life went upside down, she learned the meaning of family again, and trusting in others. She also learned what enemies could mean, betrayal of trust, and being used from her so-called boyfriend.
In the end, she not only managed to graduate with honors from the Academy with Walt's and Wendy's support, but she continued to be the face of Anstis, a major Tennis company. She even had a Tennis clothing line based off her through her two years of professional Tennis playing.
Her first 11 month season as a professional player, she actually made fourth place, and her second year, she made second place. After her second year as 'Mill Collins, Tennis Player', she retired and decided to take up modeling full-time. At that point, she became 'Millie Collins'.
During Millie's earlier modeling days, she met Tony Stark at a party. The two starting dating. The two got along great, but his excess drinking, his playboy demeanor, and her difficult schedule with travel caused many problems in their relationship. The two ended up breaking up, and though Millie was hurt, they parted on good terms. She will always care for Tony, and have a soft spot for him.
She works for Hanover Agency, and her best friend is fellow model Toni Turner. Her friendly nemesis is Chili Storm, also working for the same agency. The three have developed together as models, and are unusually close, especially considering the cut throat industry they work in. Part of it has to do with Millie's very open and friendly nature.
Recently, the 2011 Fashion Week was all hyped up. Millie was recruited to be photographed with her best friend, her friendly nemesis, Chili Storm, and her friends Jill Jerold and a(n) (anonymous) model superheroine! The famous photographer Todd Speers was in charge of the numerous developed sets and the photo taking. During the second day of Fashion Week, Millie head a gun shot while hiding in the trees of Central Park to change her stockings. She went to investigate and found a gun. She picked it up without thinking, and then found Speers shot! She was arrested, wrongfully accused of murder.
Later, it was suspected she may have also shot Devin Pearlman, as the gun matched his murder weapon as well. The models banned together, investigating and getting into all sorts of trouble. When leaving Sachet Nelson's home, the artist painting portraits of the girls to be auctioned off for donations, Millie and Jill were fired at with a gun! Jill had a registered handgun herself, and when she dropped it, Millie picked it up and wildly shot at the window that the sniper was shooting from across the street. She almost got into trouble with the police again, but ooooh, she was so mad at being pushed around all the time! The investigation the girls headed increased, and the girls kept being harassed by thugs about some sort of stolen paintings.
When Millie received a call about Sachet being kidnapped and she had to show up with the girls, without informing the cops or she was dead, Millie jumped in along with the other models to try and save Sachet! However, a couple of thugs were waiting and knocked their heroine out before drugging the others. Her heroine played dead and managed to wake everyone up when the place was set on fire. Millie managed to get everyone out, but the house exploded and she fell, breaking her right arm.
That was when Jill remembered the letters she stole from Sachet's house. She compared the writing to letters found at Devil Pearlman's apartment, and found a match to Sachet's own writing! She referenced the missing paintings in those letters, and accidentally provided clues to her identity in them, which made Chili suspect her.
Sachet then showed up at the apartment with her thugs to try and kill the witnesses, confessing to the entire thing. The girls managed to beat the thugs and Sachet with a surprise attack, a trained heroine, and using furniture as a weapon! Millie knocked Sachet out herself, feeling quite good about that! The police were finally called, and Millie's name was cleared. Millie showed up at the last stage walk of Fashion Week, with a cast on her right forearm, with support signs on display from a number of her fans.
Since then, Millie has reclaimed many of her sponsors she lost during that short week, and regained new ones with her cleared name. There is still that stigma that hovers over her at times however, and frustrates her to no end when she was the victim. She has also increased her self-defense classes just in case too! Still, it was as if something changed insider her, and she isn't quite sure what it was yet.

Abilities
Skill: Athletics (4)
Millie is actually quite active and enduring. She practices yoga, basic self-defense, runs, does aerobics, swims, plays tennis, and more. She is energetic, can keep up with her trainers, and has a natural endurance that gives her staying power. (See Advans: Pain Tolerance)
|
Skill: Driving (2)
Millie actually knows how to drive, and she was even introduced to race cars. Not that she is the thrill seeker type, nor is she particularly amazing. Mostly, she drives cautiously and alertly through New York City traffic when she has to. Just because she was taught how, doesn't mean she's keen on the idea of racing at a hundred miles per hour. It actually makes her feel a little sick, and very concerned. Darn crazy driving gives ulcers!
|
Skill: Education (3)
Millie actually took some college courses to help expand her knowledge about the history and especially the culture of other countries. She has especially studied fashion (of course!) in other countries, historically and modern. She does not hold a degree, but between her classes and her travels, she has become beyond proficient in not insulting people and navigating potentially iffy terrain. Still, some avenues are out of her ability, such as the Arabic countries and African countries.
|
Skill: Languages (2)
Millie is very fluent in French, she learned because she loved the language. She also knows a number of phrases and how to ask pointed questions in Italian, and a few curtsey phrases in Japanese (thank you, you're welcome, my pleasure, hello, farewell, etc).
|
Skill: Martial Arts (1)
Millie has training in self-defense, which she has picked up even more after suffering attacks against her person more than once during the 'wrongly accused of murder' episode. She isn't amazing, but she knows some basic attacks, how to make a decent throw, how to punch, and use furniture as a weapon!
|
Skill: Modeling (8)
Millie is a professional model and one of the top ten earners in modeling, and is a supermodel. She is stationed in New York City, but has visited London, Paris, Milan, and Rome. She has a number of big contracts, which were regained after her named was cleared of a wrongful murder and the fame of helping to catch the real murderer. She is also a well-known runway model and her face and body has been plastered on so many billboards across the globe, there is no point in trying to count. She knows how to talk-the-talk, walk-the-walk, smile-the-smile, and wave-the-wave. Exciting, huh?
|
Skill: Social Technology (2)
Don't get between Millie and her StarkTech Touch Screen cell phone! There are very few out there that can out text her, out twitter her, and out facebook her! Well, Mary Jane Watson might be able too, and maybe Chili, but that's not the point! She is also able to use computers to do research (navigate the web), e-mail, share pictures and files, and so on. She's a modern girl! Being an ex-girlfriend of Tony Stark likely helped educate her in the ways of technology as well. Alright, so it's celebrity technology, but it's still technology.
|
Skill: Tennis (5-8)
As a teenager Millie attended and graduated with honors from the elite Wayde Tennis Academy. She then became a professional tennis player. She ranked fourth in the world in the WTA at 18 years old, and ranked second at 19 years old before retiring. She had a lot of promise in those two years, but had decided to retire the 11 month sports seasons for modeling. Though her training may have changed over the years, she has always kept brushed up on her skills with tennis trainers and private challenges.
Millie's skill when she was top of her game was internationally acclaimed. Since then, her warm-ups and current mental state affect her level of playing, but she would require intense (re)training to re-obtain her former glory and keep it.

Advantages
Advantage: Employed
Millie is employed by Handover Agency is practically a supermodel, making the top ten earners of models in the world. She works in ads, runway, glamour photography, and fashion magazines. Depending on the year, she can make $15 to $20 million dollars a year.
|
Advantage: Famous
Millie the Model is a supermodel, most everyone recognizes her face or thinks she looks like someone they have seen before though they may not know her name. As a result, she can get through closed doors easily (such as restricted clubs and top notch restaurants), gets treated like a Queen when she goes places, and so on.
|
Advantage: Hellfire Club
Millie knows just about anyone that is anyone from attending parties, working the fashion industries, being dates to big and important people (such as Tony Stark), and so on. It doesn't mean she has great sway, but with her pretty face, honest and sincere nature, and sweet smile, she can generally get people to listen and consider her.
|
Advantage: High Class Contacts
Millie knows just about anyone that is anyone from attending parties, working the fashion industries, being dates to big and important people (such as Tony Stark), and so on. It doesn't mean she has great sway, but with her pretty face, honest and sincere nature, and sweet smile, she can generally get people to listen and consider her.
|
Advantage: Pain Tolerance
Millie is not on par with the seasoned superheroes, that's for sure! But she can walk with blisters covering her feet in too tight shoes and not let her beautiful smile slip. She can break her arm, and smile to the doctors to encourage them and let them know she is alright. She can be exhausted and ready to cry, and still get that smile on her face to hold it all in. She isn't superhuman, but there is just something about her strength of character that gives her a little boost to endurance, that gives her time till she is alone and she can break down in private, and wait for those pain killers to kick in.
|
Advantage: Posh Penthouse
Millie owns a posh penthouse in NYC, in a great part of town. She owns it in the clear, which is even more amazing, and it has taken her many years to pay it off. It may not be the biggest penthouse around, but it's still very posh.
|
Flaws
Flaw: Little Privacy
Due to Millie being a supermodel, the paparazzi will stalk her if they can get away with it. People will use her for free publicity, and take advantage of her if she allows them. She must always be concerned about her appearances, because she could be photographed at any time, even just shopping for groceries. Due to her career being her looks, she must always look her best. This provides her with little privacy outside of her home, and secured areas that restrict media access (such as the Hellfire Club and other membership only or highly classy places). When out in public, there is always the thought in the back of Millie's head that she must be on guard.
|
Flaw: Stark's Ex
Millie is one of Tony Stark's many ex's. As a result, any interactions with him may cause a string of gossip, and for a while afterwards, it hurt her romantic respectability in some people's eyes because of Stark's reputation as a playboy. However, it has been a while and she has since recovered respectability, but few have forgotten such a publicized and popular couple as them. Furthermore, Millie still cares for Stark, though if questioned she would state they just wouldn't work out. Friends, is what she would say. Still, there is that curious layer of emotional baggage to being ex's whenever they get together, at least on Millie's side, and the rag magazines never believe mere friendship.
|
Flaw: Target
Millie is very famous, and as a result she is a target. She may be targeted due to jealousy, who she is dating at the time, because she rivals another model for a contract, because someone is obsessing over her, or even because she is in the wrong place at the wrong time. She is also often targeted by the paparazzi, and those that read the rag magazines, likely know who she is.
|
Flaw: Too Nice
Millie is just sometimes too nice for her own good. Some call her naive, but she just likes to see the best in people. This has gotten her in trouble sometimes, and she sometimes gives people too many chances, when they had already done her wrong. However, when push comes to shove, she can snap just like anyone else. It just takes a whole lot to get her there, more than it should.
|
Flaw: Wrongly Accused
Millie was wrongly accused of murder, in a very public manner. She lost a few contracts as a result as well (which she has either regained, or replaced very quickly once cleared). Even though she has been cleared of all murder charges and even was reported to having helped solved the case, there is still that stigma in some people's eyes that she is somehow less for being even accused. It has also left some emotional scars on her, which will take a long time to heal if ever fully.
