Sisters of the Shadows

---

Random Facts:

1. Millie is the second granddaughter of Rie van Troost, a distant descendent of the Bach family. Her older sister, Mathilda Lexer, was slated to lead the family as heir until her untimely death at the start of 2020. This has left the teenager drowning in both sorrow and the expectations of her mother, Emely Ritter, the current head of the Bach Coven.

2. Even though the Bach name has died out and the family has stopped producing composers, the coven as a whole still specializes in sound magick, specifically music. All witches from this coven are trained in classical instruments from a very young age. Millie can play the violin, flute, piccolo, clarinet, bassinet, oboe, harp, and piano; the latter is her favorite, pushing her to teach herself how to use contemporary synthesizers.

3. While she doesn’t look it, Millicent is very athletic. She’s a member of the Blue Dreams and the Honey Bees–AOA’s volleyball and dance teams, respectively. Her dance styles include ballet, ballroom, acro, and contemporary.

4. She’s the most extroverted introvert you’ll ever meet. The phrase, “shy when we first met,” is a dead ringer for Millie. It takes a few hangouts before she’s comfortable being her quirky self around others.

5. Her familiar is Chester, a spunky little wood nuthatch. He likes to sing along as she practices songs for Empty Obsessions.
