Millie is the ultimate "Flashy Fae," a vibrant and spirited fairy character designed by Terrell. She was originally published in the "500 Fairy Motifs" book with a different theme. Her name, Millie, is a clever tribute to Pittsburgh's industrial past, reflecting the legacy of the legendary steel mills that shaped the city's history. This particular figurine was created as a deeply personal tribute, commissioned to represent the artist's hometown of Pittsburgh. In her hands, Millie is more than just a character; she serves as a cherished mascot, symbolizing the artist's love for the place that inspires them so profoundly. Every element of Millie's design showcases Pittsburgh pride: **The Colors:** Millie's costume, hair bow, and wings are adorned in the iconic black and gold, representing the city's identity. **The Throne:** Millie sits atop a detailed brown leather football, honoring Pittsburgh's well-earned title as the "City of Champions," celebrating its rich legacy of sporting excellence. Together, these elements create a beautiful narrative—Millie, a Pittsburgh native depicted as a "Flashy Fae" in Terrell's world, returns to her roots to cheer for her hometown. Pittsburgh is full of beauty, lots of woods and nature! **I think my watermarked name got misspelled, but after fighting the computer programs for hours, it will do. **
