| Millerna Aston is one of the main characters in Escaflowne. She is the youngest daughter of King Aston...which makes her the third Princess of Astoria. She has two older sisters...Princess Marlene (deseased) and Princess Eries. Millerna is a very intelligent person.At the age of 15....she is already very skilled in medicine. And although she is a princess...Millerna is independent and free of will. However...she always seems very polite and well mannered. Millerna retaliates against Astoria....which is allies with the Ziabach Empire.....because she knows what they are doing is wrong. She joins Hitomi, Van, Allen, and the others to help them fight the Empire. Millerna is in love with Allen....but is engaged to Dryden. When they get married...Millerna's feelings for Dryden soften...but her heart still belongs to Allen. However, Allen does not seem to share the same feelings with the young princess. He does care for her....but doesn't actually love her in the romantic sense. Millerna is also the first one to discover the secret between Allen and Prince Chid. Return To The Characters Page |
MY THOUGHTS ON PRINCESS MILLERNA I have to admit...I HATED Millerna when I first watched Escaflowne. I hated hated hated her.... But you know what? After watching Escaflowne several times (make that MILLIONS of times)...I found myself actually liking Millerna.....liking her a lot more than even Merle! Millerna isn't a bad character at all! In fact....she is one of the better anime characters. The only people who hate her are stupid jealous Allen-lovers (I used to be one...:( I feel so bad now!). But hey...even they shouldn't hate her! If anything...they should feel sorry for her! She is just a girl who loves Allen...like all those who hate her...and doesn't get his love in return... I personally think its for the best though. Princess Eries is a much better match for Allen than Millerna. And besides...Millerna has Dryden, and he loves her more than anything! A lot of people think Millerna doesn't have ANY love for Dryden...but I think she does. I believe she does love him...but doesn't want to admit it because she convinced herself she was in love with Allen for so long. Millerna doesn't seem to be very fond of Hitomi....at first. But that was natural. Millerna was the only girl in Allen's life..(hahaha...well...kinda..) and then Hitomi came along and was recieving more attention. Millerna was...all and all...quite jealous of Hitomi. I think it was hard for her to see why Allen liked her instead of herself. But the two do become good friends...even when Hitomi lied to Millerna. |
