Milla Maxwell

Milla holds her duty of protecting the world above all else. She states that it is synonymous with the name Maxwell, being the lord of all spirits that it is her responsibility to protect all living things. She shows a strong determination to play her role despite losing the power of the four great spirits early in the story. She shows that she is willing to go to any lengths to uphold her duty, at many points risking her very life to accomplish this. At first, she even shows disregard for people if it were for the greater good, making her come across as downright cold at times. She reasons this with her belief that getting emotional would keep her from fulfilling her mission. However, after spending time with the party, she learns a greater appreciation for individual life, eventually admitting to Jude that all life, whether human or spirit, is equal and precious to her. Having lived twenty years together with the Four Great Spirits, she has had little human contact except with her worshipers in Nia Khera. Her knowledge of human behavior stems from what she has read in books, leading her to have many odd mannerisms. In particular, she heeds no mind to her rather light attire, claiming that it is comfortable and easy to move in, despite Jude's initial discomfort. Milla frequently muses at the behavior that makes humans "human", giving a lot of insight to Jude as they journey together. Milla shows a rather deep fondness of food, not knowing the delight of eating for the first twenty years of her life. She is often caught drooling while any food subjects are mentioned.
