Millicent Clyde emerges from the shadow of her father, Montgomery Clyde, a once-respected explorer who faced disgrace after failing to capture a bear from Peru. Her childhood, steeped in bitterness, fuels a singular obsession: to reclaim her father's legacy through ambitious and treacherous means. Armed with chilling determination and a penchant for manipulation, she seeks to taxidermy Paddington, the very symbol of her father's perceived failure. Navigating the corridors of the Natural History Museum, she presents herself with a facade of sophistication, concealing the predatory intent beneath.

Her ambition ultimately leads to slapstick defeat, revealing the dark side of aspiration—hers culminating in community service at a petting zoo. Through this character, the narrative explores themes of familial loyalty, ambition unchecked by morality, and the tragic consequences of misguided vengeance, encapsulating the absurdity of a woman perpetually at odds with her own dark desires.
