Personality:
With the lifestyle that Michiko leads, it's easy to say that many people view the girl differently, as far as her personality goes! To the public, for her fans across music and social media, the teen appears to be a bit of a bubbly troublemaker-type. Her almost-childlike energy being great at keeping others in high spirits! And, mischief to keep people laughing, and on their toes!
Undeniably, regardless of her 'idol' persona, and her actual self, that this girl is extremely outgoing, though! She has no fear when it comes to approaching others, or voicing her opinions. But, behind closed doors, or with people closer to her, Michi can take on a much more serious and calm demeanor in an instant. She's very business-minded, and makes sure to work hard at any goal that she makes for herself. She can become very caught up with whatever she's doing, and takes things extremely seriously! While still plenty friendly, Michiko is a bit on the lonely side in her personal life, and can easily isolate herself unintentionally.
Frequently updating social media with cutesy pictures, food, or the latest trends, it's fairly clear that Michi frequently prefers her more bubbly persona, instead of anything else! Or, it may just be the popularity of said persona, that makes it so alluring. Regardless of the person she's dealing with, however, hand gestures and overly expressive faces tend to be a must from the girl, to the point that it can be a little ridiculous!
Appearance:
With looks like Michi's, it would be difficult to call the girl particularly forgettable. Once light brown hair has been bleached, dyed, and is constantly touched-up to be a surprisingly fitting silver. Now, maybe that wouldn't be so much to remember, if not for the flash of red that streaks down a portion of her hair that frames the left side of her face. Hair, paired with naturally icy blue eyes, make her quite the identifiable person!
Which, is exactly what she wants!
Despite that mindset, most of the girl's clothes aren't fashion designer labels, in weird and quirky patterns. Instead, they tend to be of more comfortable fabrics, and easy for the silver-haired girl to move around in. She generally picks clothing that is flattering for her slender body type, though seems to have a penchant for prioritizing neutral or darker palettes. The teen does seem to have a preference for showing off her shoulders, however, and many shirts and dresses in her wardrobe either hang off her shoulders, or have cutouts revealing them! Granted, most of her clothes fall on the more conservative side, so showing off her shoulders doesn't really come off as anything particularly scandalous in nature.

Personal History: Michi's beginning started like many others. In a hospital! Narrowing down this beginning, the girl's life began on the nineteenth of January, in a hospital in Osaka, Japan. It would be as eventful as most, or perhaps, moreso. With family in the room to greet her, baby Michi actually wouldn't be the primary spotlight-holder for too long! The need for an equally tiny cousin was strong, as her aunt went into labor just barely after meeting this tiny child! And as such? It meant that Michi had a best friend within a day of being born. Talk about being a lucky baby!
One had to wonder if the parents involved would find such a coincidence luck, as the two grew up close, meaning that whenever her cousin would visit, her parents would have two children running around! And, of course, vice-versa for her visits to her cousin's home. To Michi, most of her youth was rather unspectacular, and pretty standard for a child! Raised by her loving parents, there really wasn't much that made the girl feel like she was lacking in a proper childhood.
Granted, the life that starry-eyed Michi wanted wouldn't be an easy adventure forever. Early on, she'd already known what she wanted. Seeing girls singing and dancing on television had clearly sparked some urge within the child, and she knew what she needed out of life. Luckily, even though she didn't know yet how to attain such a thing, her parents were plenty supportive, by enrolling her in dancing and singing lessons. And, who would have thought that she would actually be good at it?
With wonderfully supportive parents, they helped the girl develop into her goals, and even went to the extent of assisting in her dreams of becoming a Kpop idol. The problem with that? Well. They lived in Japan. While it was hard to imagine separating herself from her beloved cousin, who grew up alongside her in such a literal sense, Michi knew that she'd regret passing up any chance to become a star! On the plus side, it seemed that her cousin was quite supportive of the dream! Who would have thought that it would actually come true, though?
The year that the two were meant to enter secondary school together, it was announced. Michi had gotten an offer with a company in Seoul, South Korea. Which meant that she would be moving, and soon. With a heartfelt goodbye to her cousin, along with any other family members that she could see before she left, Michi boarded the plane to Seoul. From there? Easy sailing, right? Well... not really. The girl would quickly learn the hardships of being an idol, and even just learning to get along with the four other girls that made up the group! Easily being the youngest among them, the girl found herself automatically with the title Maknae. But, her practices in Japan hadn't been for naught! She quickly became titled the lead singer, and her outgoing personality labelled her as the face of the group. She really couldn't complain about the strength of some of those roles!
Of course, she still had to attend school, around her career, and even had to participate in special events for her job! She quickly learned that Kpop wasn't actually only singing and dancing. As it turned out, there were sports events that she was expected to attend, strange reality shows, and even a small role in a television drama! With so much on her plate, it was a struggle to maintain the grades that her parents wanted out of her, but luckily the other girls in the group were usually willing to help her keep on track.
And, really, that kind of solidarity was probably the main thing that kept Michiko going at such a pace! The older girls kept her in line, and on a schedule, well enough that she didn't go crazy within the first few months of juggling all of her new responsibilities. But, even with a wonderful support group, Michi had to admit that she missed Japan, and the people that she had left there. Needing to focus on such responsibilities at such a young age was hard! But, she managed, and certain things became routine fairly quickly.
The years in South Korea felt like they flew by, after the beginning few months had passed. And soon, her contract was coming to an end. With most of the girls in the group deciding that they did not want to re-sign with the company, Michi decided that it was time to let her contract close out. After all, she didn't want all new faces! It wasn't the same group! And, she found an opportunity in that lining. To go home.
Now that she had established herself in the Kpop world, why not try something the same, but completely different? Working with an agent in Shibuya, it was settled. She could go home, and work on becoming a Jpop star, without an entire group backing her. Her fans on social media seemed supportive enough of the transition! So, here was to hoping that everything could pan out the way she wanted!
