[edit] Character history

Milla is introduced when she accidentally walks in front of an incoming truck and Daredevil rescues her. After getting her to help, Daredevil realizes she is blind.

Milla later visits Matt Murdock (whose secret identity as Daredevil has been publicized) to thank him and asks him out on a date. While Matt is hesitant on saying anything that would implicate him, he agrees to go out with her.

Their date is interrupted when Matt is brought in for a murder investigation of the owner of the "Globe", whom Matt was sueing for posting his secret identity. In fact, it was the Kingpin that had committed the crime, and not Murdock.

Shaken up by this experience, Milla hesitated on continuing her relationship but persisted due to the encouragement of one of her friends. She then experienced first-hand two of Daredevil's foes, when Typhoid Mary first attacked Matt in broad daylight. Later, the assassin called Bullseye, killer of two of Matt's previous girlfriends attempted to murder Milla as well, but was stopped by Daredevil.

The two are later married, but Milla seeks to annul the marriage when she discovers that Matt was possibly suffering a nervous breakdown earlier due to the stress over the death of Matt's previous girlfriend, Karen Page and her marriage was a product of that. She later returns to Matt, but he is arrested, as conclusive evidence that Matt is Daredevil has been discovered by the FBI. The two did not speak for some time, but Milla did appear at the funeral of Foggy Nelson. Later, she recently visited him in prison, but he refuses to talk, as he is trying to get her away from the prison, due to a near imminent riot.
