What inference can be made about Millicent from the
way she is characterized indirectly?
Millicent is a student with straight brown hair.
10 Millicent does not usually take care of her
appearance.
Millicent has not always been popular.

Millicent, the way I see it, is probably a girl who doesn't really care about what she looks like, so much that she won't even brush her teeth or hair. Not doing these things or taking care of her hygiene cause other people not to like her that much. Therefore, she is not considered popular.
