Movie
Description
Milly Thompson works as an insurance claims investigator for the Bernardelli Insurance Society, partnered with Meryl Stryfe. Tall and imposing, she dons a teal-and-tan greatcoat over a white dress shirt, maroon tie, and tan pants accented by yellow suspenders. Hidden beneath her coat lies a heavy stun-gun firing rubber bullets that morph into X-shaped claws upon impact—a weapon that earned her the moniker "Stungun Milly." Her personality weaves kindness and optimism with sharp perceptiveness, often disguising her keen intuition for unraveling overlooked details. Though cheerful, she reveals steely resolve when defending family values or confronting food waste.
The youngest in a sprawling family, Milly sustains close ties through her self-penned "Milly Monthly" newsletters. This deep-rooted loyalty drives her to confront anyone disrespecting her kin. Professionally, she begins as Meryl’s subordinate but gradually emerges as her equal, tempering Meryl’s practicality with emotional openness and adaptability.
In *Trigun: Badlands Rumble*, Milly and Meryl pursue an insurance policy for a statue in Macca City, crossing paths with Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood. A fleeting romance blossoms between Milly and Wolfwood, culminating in a poignant night before his fatal duel with Chapel. His death leaves her shattered, though she later fondly preserves his memory. The film further underscores her emotional depth when she grapples with Vash’s seeming demise.
Manga iterations omit the romance, focusing instead on her platonic bond with Wolfwood. Later arcs chart her career shift from insurance to broadcasting alongside Meryl. Visual designs vary across media: the manga features shorter, curled hair and a green or brown coat, contrasting the anime’s teal palette and longer hairstyle.
Absent from *Trigun Stampede*’s first season, Milly’s arrival is teased in a post-credits scene where Meryl receives a call hinting at a new partner—strongly implied to be Milly. This aligns with the series’ focus on Meryl’s early career, positioning Milly as an incoming rookie counterpart in season 2.
