Milly Ashford

Milly Ashford (ミレイ・アッシュフォード, Mirei Asshufōdo?) is the granddaughter of the school superintendent, Ruben K. Ashford, and president of the Student Council. Milly enjoys teasing Shirley and is eager to discover Lelouch's weaknesses — so much as to rally the entire school into chasing after Arthur when she suspects the cat to hold something precious to him. She is secretly in love with Lelouch, but realizes the need to restore her family's status by marrying a noble.

Season One
Milly is Lelouch's friend and classmate at Ashford Academy. She is the granddaughter of the school superintendent, Ruben K. Ashford, and president of the student council, Milly enjoys teasing Shirley and is eager to discover Lelouch's weaknesses - enough to organize a school chase, much to his panic. She is aware of Lelouch's identity as a former prince of Britannia, since her family were close supporters to his mother, Empress Marianne. This action, however, led to the family's nobility status being stripped.

The Ashfords, wanting to restore their status, have two options in doing so: either reinstate Lelouch and Nunnally back into the royal family or to arrange a marriage to a noble. Milly is also secretly in love with Lelouch, but realizes the need to restore her family's status by marrying a noble. The Ashfords opt for the latter, and arranges a marriage interview for Milly with Earl Lloyd Asplund.
