She has a kind of exotic look about her, in or out of the Dragons show.

It's her eyes. She has a slight epicanthic fold which is prominent in Asians but is also found in some European people in a less pronounced way. The epicanthic fold is located on the inner corner of the eyes closest to the nose.

Here is a photo of the English actresses Carey Mulligan and Felicity Jones and neither has an epicanthic fold

Here is Anna Maxwell Martin another English actress who has some Inuit (Eskimo) ancestry and you can see she has a reduced epicanthic fold

Interesting, thanks.

Your welcome. Since doing my own ancestry and getting a DNA test I've developed quite an interest in this area. A DNA test on Milly would be interesting to see if she has some Asian ancestry.
