"Careful when you play with fire. You might get burned."
Mickie is from New Bark Town in the Johto Region and is traveling to be the very best Pokemon trainer. Her birthday is May 30, and her best friend the Olivine City Gym Leader Jasmine and her childhood friend from New Bark Town, Riven. She loves music, dancing, singing, and playing all instruments, her favorite of which is the guitar or drums. Mickie usually plays amazing music, but plays best when she is alone in a quiet spot. Despite being the most tomboyish of her friends, she is the most emotionally vulnerable. Mickie compensates by putting up a tough front to isolate herself and is often pessimistic, but she is a loyal and caring friend. She is a bit of a tomboy but can be girly at many times. Her emotional weakness is probably a result from her mother's early death and father being far away. Mickie is also a bit of a loner, though had a crush on the Sinnoh Sunnyshore City Gym Leader Volkner and the Johto Champion, Lance. She and Riven traveled around. She had taken a liking to Pokemon contests, and was disliked by Zoey because she battles and competes in contests too. Mickie, however, never stopped pursuing her dream to become the world's very best Pokemon master, and now is defeated by Cynthia in the Sinnoh League. Mickie has a huge fear of Ghost Pokemon and often her walls come down around Ghost Pokemon out of fear.
Pokemon: Pidgeot, Pikachu, Flygon, Riolu, Dewgong, Roserade, and Growlithe. Pikachu was her starter Pokemon and she actually caught her on her own. She knows she has seven Pokemon, but always keeps one hidden. She can also talk and understand what they say. Only Riven and Jasmine know that. She has more Pokemon with Professor Elm like a Bulbasaur and a Bayleef.
Her mother died when Mickie was little and her dad was always away on business. Her only friends were Jasmine and Riven, whom Jasmine was staying in New Bark Town with Professor Elm for a short period of time. She has always had a fear of Ghost Pokemon because of a visit to a haunted house when she was very young. She's stubborn and has a crush on Volkner and Lance, even though she only met them once to battle them. After she was defeated by Cynthia, she was extremely upset and even depressed. She hasn't battled since, losing sight of her dream of being the very best. She feels even worse when she hears that someone else has beated Cynthia, but she can't stop thinking about battling Ash and defeating him. Professor Elm was like a father to Mickie because her father was always away. Professor Elm worries about Mickie, but Mickie never stopped talking to Professor Elm. He thinks he should send her old Pokemon to cheer her up, but she never goes for it. Now, she's staying at the Pokemon Center at the Pokemon League with Riven, who tries to cheer her up and get her battling again. He thought about having her stay around the Pokemon League so she can get into battling again. Only, she feels even worse because of it. She was never mad at Cynthia or her Pokemon for not winning, but at herself for not being encouraging, supportive, or a good trainer at all.
