Milkit

Milkit is a young female slave who has been treated as property for as long as she can remember.

Because of this, she was never given a family name and is known simply as Milkit.

She appears with her entire face wrapped in bandages, hiding severe burns and scarring caused by poison administered by a previous master.

This injury left her visibly disfigured and deeply ashamed of her appearance.

Milkit speaks very little and shows almost no expression.

Her emotions seem so suppressed that even the idea of her own death does not interest or frighten her.

From childhood, she was abused, ordered around, and constantly reminded that she was beneath everyone else.

As a result, she firmly believes she is the lowest form of existence and has essentially no self-esteem.

She first encounters Flum Apricot at the slave trader who owns her at the time.

Like Flum, she is chosen as part of a cruel “entertainment” and is about to be killed for sport.

After Flum kills the slave trader and escapes, she invites Milkit to come with her.

Milkit accepts, but frames the decision in her mind as “serving my master,” and begins to see Flum as her new owner.

To match this role of a devoted servant, Milkit chooses to always wear a maid outfit.

This maid attire becomes part of her identity as she follows Flum and gradually begins to change through their relationship.

Name: Milkit

Gender: Female

Age: 14 years old

Milkit’s personality at first is extremely withdrawn and passive.

She rarely initiates conversation and generally waits for orders, acting only when told.

Her sense of self-worth is almost completely destroyed.

She cannot imagine herself as anything but a disposable slave meant to obey others.

Milkit does not protest, complain, or even hope for a better life.

Because she never felt valued, she once saw no real difference between living and dying.

Despite this, her decision to follow Flum suggests a tiny, hidden desire for connection.

She clings to the idea of “a master I can serve” as the only framework in which she is allowed to exist.

Milkit’s most striking feature is her face, which is heavily wrapped in bandages.

Beneath them, her skin has been badly damaged and disfigured by poison given to her by a former master.

The bandages conceal her wounds from others and from herself.

They also symbolize her shame, fear of being seen, and the trauma of her past abuse.

She consistently wears a maid uniform after escaping with Flum Apricot.

For Milkit, the maid outfit is not just clothing but a role that makes her feel she has a place and purpose.

Combined with her quiet demeanor and expressionless face, her appearance can seem eerie or doll-like at first glance.

However, once understood, it reflects a girl who has been hurt repeatedly and is trying to survive in the only way she knows how.

Milkit has lived as a slave for as long as she can remember, with no memories of freedom or a normal childhood.

Her owners used her as a tool, punishing and mistreating her until obedience and self-denial became second nature.

At some point, a previous master poisoned her face, leaving it horribly burned and swollen.

This event not only scarred her physically but also convinced her that she was ugly, worthless, and unfit to be seen.

The slave trader who later owned her saw her as little more than damaged goods.

She was selected for a deadly “show” alongside Flum Apricot, where slaves were meant to be killed for amusement.

Flum’s rebellion against the slave trader becomes the turning point in Milkit’s life.

Instead of leaving Milkit behind, Flum offers her a chance to escape together.

Milkit cannot see herself as an equal companion, so she chooses the role of servant.

She calls Flum “master” and dedicates herself to serving her, gradually forming a bond that challenges her own sense of worth.

Milkit’s most important relationship is with Flum Apricot.

Flum frees her, protects her, and treats her with more kindness than anyone ever has.

To Milkit, Flum is both savior and master, someone she must serve perfectly to justify her own existence.

Over time, this dynamic slowly shifts as Milkit is exposed to genuine care and respect.

Serving Flum becomes Milkit’s main motivation.

She chooses her maid attire and behavior to match what she believes a proper servant should be.

Their relationship is central to Milkit’s gradual emotional awakening.

Through Flum, she begins—little by little—to question the idea that she is nothing more than a disposable slave.
