Character History


SPOILER WARNING: Information after this point may spoil the OAV/OVA, TV series and/or manga.


Junior revealed to Michelle when they were together getting away the truth about the three of them, that their memory and existence was only a mere manipulation created for them by Dokusensha, creating their own line of artificial Paper Masters. He also revealed that they were created with genes and DNA from other paper masters. Michelle's habits are very like Yomikos and also shares the same "cheek pulling" thing. Yomiko and Michelle both pull they're cheeks when in irony.

Relationships

Anita King

Michelle and Anita care deeply for one another, but Michelle's airheadedness and Anita's down-to-earth nature frequently clash. While Anita is usually concerned about practical matters like buying food over books and shows a greater degree of restraint, Michelle tends to live for the moment and cannot resist buying any book that catches her eye. Though Michelle means well, she usually ends up in unusual situations that Anita finds foolish and troublesome. However, Michelle is also unafraid to discipline Anita when necessary.

Junior

Because of Michelle's kind nature, Junior is easily attached to her and comes to see her as a mother-figure of sorts. When Junior betrays the Paper Sisters and their allies, he rescues Michelle and seemingly attempts to keep her apart from everyone else. When he becomes upset that his mother, Nancy Makuhari, is more concerned about the safety of Yomiko Readman and expresses his resentment towards her, Michelle disciplines him as she would of Anita for speaking thoughtlessly. However, when Nancy, affected by Junior's words, goes to defend them, Junior leaves with Michelle and reveals the truth behind Michelle and Maggie's existences as Paper Masters.

Maggie Mui

Michelle and Maggie share a close relationship, held strongly by their extreme love of books and of Anita. While Michelle is outspoken and bosses Maggie around somewhat, Maggie is shy and content to let Michelle speak for her. Michelle is aware of Maggie's lack of confidence and does not tolerate Anita's thoughtless comments concerning Maggie's "usefulness". Because of their love of Anita, they do not hesitate to put their lives in danger to protect her.

Nenene Sumiregawa

As with Anita, Nenene can become frequently annoyed with Michelle's eccentricities. However, since Michelle respects (and fears) Nenene, Michelle usually accepts whatever Nenene tells her to do (unlike when Anita suggests an equally reasonable order). Nenene does not share as close a relationship with Michelle as the other Paper Sisters, but Nenene has faith in Michelle and trusts her.
