★ Personality ☆
Shy | | Smart | | Silent | | Friendly
Despite her blank expression and seemingly cold attitude, Michi is surprisingly approachable. The girl has always been an introvert - she's reserved, quiet and is very much content with her own company. She's not the kind to stand out, to be honest. She has a unique skill to blending in due to her withdrawn attitude to society. Michi isn't the kind to mix with with crowds, but she is friendly and will talk when talked to - although you're more likely to be met with low mumbles, or short, clean responses. Her curt manner of speaking may portray her as aloof or arrogant, but - in reality - it's to cover up the fact that Michi is pathetic at maintaining conversations. She has zero social or communication skills. However, she values the power of friendship and never takes a person for granted; because of this, Michiyo is loyal to the people she believes deserves it. In a social group, Mikasa isn't the type to grab attention, she's usually the one who kinda hovers in the background, but in a reassuring way. She may look serious, but inwardly she is very awkward.
One thing Michiyo is very keen on is organization - perhaps to the point of slight compulsive. She enjoys freedom, but also respects the boundaries provided by order and regulation. She understands rules were made to protect people, so it only makes sense to obey them. Michiyo isn’t the the type to be spontaneous; in fact, she would prefer it if there was always a plan A and Plan B behind an action - you know it's important when she sticks her foot out and does something unexpected . She spends a lot of time thinking, preparing and just understanding things in her mind to a T. Whenever she may act irresponsible is only when she understands it's for the best - if she feels a person is making the wrong decision, she will put her foot out; because of this, Michiyo is sometimes presented as stubborn.
Michiyo has a hunger for knowledge. She is perceptive and intuitive. Michiyo is curious about the universe, and its contents. Bordering on slight recklessness, not many things get in her way towards looking for the answers to her hollow questions. Many nights are spent comprehending and putting her life into perspective - often alone, where she can be at peace with herself. The only down side to Michiyo's intelligence, is that she lacks in common sense - she can often be caught acting dopey, or spacing out.
Most importantly, Michiyo also has an extremely strong sense of justice. She has opinions, and will point them out when the situation calls for it. She prioritises the emotions of people over the idea of it being right or wrong, she looks beyond the idea of immorality. After all, they are only superficial borderlines set by society. Michiyo is brave when needs to be, she does not hesitate to help if a person's life is under threat. She has a primal urge to help people, dipping to a somewhat motherly aspect. At best, Michi is loyal and caring. However, to go against Michiyo or to harm the ones she loves the most, is unforgiveable and most certainly a deathwish. She is always prepared to go to extreme lengths to protect the ones she loves, even if she has to sacrifice herself in the process. She understands the tragedy of losing someone special, and she doesn't want anyone else to experience that pain. Michiyo is a devilish foe you would not want to mess with - don't take advantage of her conserved demeanour, or you may find yourself with a hand around your neck.
★ Bio ☆
Michiyo was born into a prestigious and well-established family. His father was a successful author known for his crime and conspiracy fiction while her mother had a stable career as a consultant in the local hospital - let's just say they were more than comfortably rich. Michi was the youngest between her and her sister, who was older by a four year difference. Both were exposed to many activities and academic subjects as children - ranging from English Literature to Astronomy. This also included an impressive range of sports - Michiyo stuck to Kendo and Tennis while her sister chose Fencing and Water Polo. Michi's childhood one was one of fun, happiness and innocent bliss. Michiyo felt invincible, nothing could harm them - they were too high up their pedestal.
To this day, it is still unknown who or what started the fire. On that night, Michiyo found herself hastily woken up to the suffocating whiff of smoke and the sight of her sister's panic-stricken face as she shook her by the shoulders. Fire licked the corners of her room, her collection of stuffed animals were scattered on one side, their once pastel fur a hazy brown colour; their silk ribbons now burnt to a crisp. Michiyo and her sister pelted down the stairs, stumbling their way to the exit against the driving force of the heat. The front door was in sight, already flung open. She could see people outside, tending injuries. Then she heard the roar of a crash behind her. Michiyo spun around to find her sister trapped underneath debris. The wooden second floor had given away and had collapsed. Michiyo panicked, she didn't know what to do. She tried to pull her sister out, but she would only yelp in pain. Her leg had been broken. Michiyo had tried to call for help, but knew it was futile. Time was ticking, and she couldn't risk more people to come back into the house when it was on the brink of falling apart completely. With the blessing of her sister, Michiyo had no choice but to flee.
Her parents were nowhere to be found outside, she asked desperately for their whereabouts from the survivors resting outside but no-one knew. She couldn't go back to the house, it would be the first time Michiyo would feel total hopelessness. For at the age of 11, Michiyo Sakamoto found herself parentless, homeless and painfully alone. The funeral was humble, and small. Her family had always favoured small tight-knit friendship circles, and to their death that was what it was. Many expressed sympathy, but none were prepared enough to take her in. Deciding against asking for legal help from social services, Michiyo chose to fend for herself. She found shelter in abandoned houses until she was old enough to go looking for a job. She was lucky enough to be given a job as a kitchen helper for a small cafe at the age of 14. Dividing a small portion for food and other essentials, she saved the rest until she had enough for an apartment. She then bought a bamboo sword and tennis set so she could continue by teaching herself. She also bought a punching bag. She then decided to dip into the unknown, and try her hand in music by buying a battered, second hand bass guitar. At the age of 16, when she found herself with a comfortable income and life, she applied for school. It was pretty late in the academic year, and there was very little she could put on the application - not to mention she had to forge the signature. But she got accepted, and she could've been sick by how happy and surprised she was. This was the new start she was looking for; and she was going to make the most of it.

★Reason For Coming ☆
To make her parents, her family, happy and proud - simple reason, really.
