Michael doesn't do anything half-heartedly. Hell, he doesn't even feel things half-heartedly. He's an extremely passionate person, almost to a fault. He feels with every single fiber of his being, right to his core, so it's often hard for him to hide his emotions and not get a little reactionary at times. It doesn't mean he always tries to act on his passionate whims, but it's really hard to hold back at times.

Due to the fact that Michael feels everything like his emotions are jacked on steroids, he can get a little irritable at times. He get's a lot irritable at times. He usually feels guilty about it after if that's any consolation. He snaps like a thin twig at anything that causes him to get angry. There's really nothing to fear however, if he's voicing his anger. It's when he doesn't, when he's silent, that actual danger is present in his seething anger.

Michael doesn't let people in super easy. He's not the most trusting of others, but when he does let you in, he's going to be protective of you to the very end. He cares just so much that if any harm was to come to one of his friends or loved ones, it would completely wreck his entire being. He knows this makes him vulnerable and easily manipulated, but he truly cannot help it.

All in all, however, Michael is a sweet person but well guarded. Not that he has anything against the others at the Academy, but he feels as if he doesn't have that edge to make him survive in this world. He's too soft, which is dangerous. He may not necessarily show it a the time, but his actions are barely ever selfish. He cares a lot about those he let's into his little bubble, and will do just about anything for them. Hell, he'd actually do anything for them, no questions asked. Even if he's angry and yelling at them for something, it stems from a caring place that is driven by his fear of any harm coming to them.

Academically, Mitch is nothing special. The young man generally sits somewhere in the middle of his peers, an average student in most classes. He finds sitting still and focusing on study difficult, grows fidgety and bored after a while. He wants to do well, but even the best intentions don't always garner results. When it comes to social skills at least, Michael is much better versed. He's a friendly individual, and usually has an approachable smile plastered on his face. He laughs easily, jokes frequently, and loves nothing more than to be surrounded by his friends.

The Navarro's date back to the early 17th century as a powerful family of necromancers, originating in Western Spain. The long line of witches and Warlocks were apart of a coven in Oviedo, Spain - The Church of Shadows. Michael was never planned, in actuality he was an abomination to the Church of Shadows, his father's coven. Alexandre Navarro was a fickle and greedy man, with his eye's set only on becoming High Priest of the Church of Shadows. At a young age the man married, Jacqueline López, a bright and obedient witch from another family within the coven. Although it was known through whispers that Alexandre was very much unfaithful to his wife. While the man was heavily dedicated to the Church of Shadows, he had his faults and doubts. Eventually, wanting to to test the waters of how far he could go - he slept with a mortal. He believed it was harmless enough, and breaking the law gave him a thrill like none other. Unfortunately, nine months later the woman, Victoria, gave birth to a baby boy. Naming him after the Catholic Saint, Michael.

While his father, Alexandre, came from a satanic coven of witches and warlocks, Michael's mother, Victoria, came from a family of devout Catholics. Fearing for the safety of her child, Victoria fled across the country to a small province on the border of Spain and Portugal, Braga. Growing up without a father was a little confusing for Michael, and his mother avoided his name every time he'd ask. He eventually grew out of asking about his father, and soon his life became a stable routine of school and church. Church was always rather boring for Michael, but he saw how much it meant to his mother and went with her every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. He never would've called himself a Christian like his mother was, but he'd often pray at night with his her and on his ninth birthday was baptized at their church, Misericórdia.

On the week after his sixteenth birthday when his father finally caught up to him. Through the sixteen years that his illegitimate son was growing up across the country, Alexandre had finally had children with his wife, a boy, Sammael. It seemed as if everything had fallen perfectly into place for the man as he was set in place to ascend to the position of High Priest. Of course, his past mistakes could not escape him. An older member of the Coven, Santiago Brackenfell, had the position of High Priest going to his son Jaques. It only took a matter of digging into the past as well as help from some friends in lower places to discover Alexandre had a bastard son with a human living in Spain. On the day of the selection of a new High Priest, Santiago presented the information to the council, promptly humiliating Alexandre in front of his coven.

The Church of Shadows scolded Alexandre for having a child outside of the coven, especially with a mortal. He promised to show his devotion by offering up the child to the Church and Satan himself, but it was to late. They had a very low tolerance for messing with mortals and Alexandre was striped of any titles and excommunicated from the Church on the spot. Even his wife refused to associate with him, and banned him from ever seeing their son. Alexandre was enraged at his excommunication and sought out to find the mortal woman the ruined his life. It only took a few days for him to track her down in the small town of Braga. He came in the night like a raging storm, and Victoria barely had any time to protect herself or her son before he snapped her neck, killing her in an instant. Alexandre found his son, cowering in the back room, clutching a small cross necklace in his hands. Entirely disgusted with the sight before him, he almost rid the child from the Earth much like he had his mother moments before. Instead he was stopped by the realization that this boy had an affinity for magic. He could practically taste it in the air, and the thought amused him. What better way to get back at the woman by raising her son in a Church of Satan rather than a Church of God? Of course, he couldn't raise the boy himself, he was too disgusted at the idea and knew the Church of Shadows would not accept him.

Fortunately, Alexandre had a brother, Nicolás, who at a young age left the Church to follow a witch girl back to America he had met on a chance encounter. He knew the couple had struggled with fertility issues, and while he despised his brother knew he would take the boy in a heartbeat. After a few phonecalls, Nicolás agreed to take the child. He had heard the stories of his brother's excommunication and could only assume that this child was the cause. But seeing his wife's face at the thought of raising a boy was too much to turn down. It took a week for Michael to be moved to New York with Nicolás and Penelope Navarro. It took months for him to even talk to them. The boy had been left empty by the murder of his mother, and wanted nothing to do with anyone associated with his father.

After a couple years of living with the Navarro's however, he began to see the good in them. They were nothing like his father and while the whole idea of witches, warlocks, and Satan terrified him he learned. Penelope taught him basic skills, and Nicolás helped him practice. When he turned eighteen they enrolled him into The Academy of Unseen Arts in New York, which took a few pulled strings seeing how he was such a late comer. At the Academy Michael found friends, and power, he couldn't deny that the promises the Coven made were enticing. Still, Michael never forgot his mother. He knows he would be kicked out if anyone found out, even killed, but some part of him struggles with the idea of signing his name in the Book of the Beasts. For one, the boy still has his cross necklace locked up in his room where no one could possibly find it, laying next to it, The Holy Bible. Another complication is that he was baptized when he was nine, he doesn't entirely know what that means for him in the Coven, but is hoping as long as no one knows he'll be fine. Michael would be lying if he said he still didn't pray, or read a verse or two of the Bible at night when he believes no one is around. He knows what he's doing is not right, but he doesn't necessarily think it's wrong either.
