Daisy Miller

Daisy Miller is the transgendered protagonist of the short vignette "Why Pay More?" published on Big Closet (Feb 2021). Originally created by Kristy Leigh and Garry Marsden in 2003, the character has appeared on a number of online venues including DeviantArt, MSN Groups and Wikimedia Commons. An alternate (non-TG) version of the character appears in the Landmark Universe as a member of Glory Bea's supporting cast.

Background
Born in the picket fence suburb of Everdale, Daisy Miller contracted the Gender Virus at the age of five and was subsequently raised as a girl through to her late teens. Her modeling career began around the age of 18, when she was asked to take part in a fashion parade at Courtland Plaza. Spotted by an agent for the Feathertouch Lingerie Corporation, she was offered a contract worth over $50,000, becoming the company's lead model and spokesperson. Her debut campaign was an overwhelming success with the slogan "Why Pay More?" becoming a recognized catch phrase. As her popularity continued to grow, Daisy's transgendered status was discovered by the tabloid press, but the exposé did very little to tarnish her reputation. At the height of her fame, she co-starred with Holly Taylor and Cathy Saunders on the wildly successful Thames Comedy Hour, playing an archetype 1970s "dolly-girl." In a fairy-tale conclusion to her story arc, Daisy was invited to participate in the Prêt-à-Porter, cementing her position as an international celebrity.
