Personality
Michele is the sort of woman men idolize from afar; and fear up close. She is strikingly beautiful and when you look at her you think ‘Goddess’. But get up close and things start to get a little scary. There is a lot of sexuality going on there, but when it gets unleashed the word ‘aggressive’ springs to mind. Oh yeah, when you hook up with Michele you go for a ride. And Michele loves that ride and she’s not fussy if it’s man or woman she’s taking that ride with, because the ride is the thing.
Being a fiercely independent (and sometimes just fierce) Goddess, joining the Forces of Frigg is no easy thing for Michele. Yes, there is power in numbers – and Michele likes power. And yes, Michele loves the idea of defeating all those Gods in their mutual Quest – and only partly because she is quite turned on by the idea of finding the Frigg first and having her wicked way with her. And yes, Agnetha is very useful in funding Michele’s doctorly career – what student loan? But, at the end of the day, Michele is the sort of Goddess who likes to hunt alone.
Athletic, sexy, a huntress who takes great delight in toying with her prey, Michele is a formidable opponent for any God – and also a fierce doctor on ward rounds.
Relationships
Michele is a bisexual, with implied past relationships with other woman, and one known to have been a one-time-stand with Sonja.
She also has a flirty relationship with Anders. When down in Whangamaungamoa they shared a drink in a bar, where Anders says that Goddesses aren't to be trusted, but Michele said trust could be earned. They apparently kept in contact to discuss their progress, and at one point met to discuss Anders' recent method for finding Frigg, during which Anders told her that if she helped them find Frigg, she'd have a place in his heart. They later shared a blood oath, having decided to trust him. When Frigg was found they had another drink together, and though he tried to convince her to sleep with him, she declined, prefering towait until Axl and Eva's wedding. However she was clearly jealous when the Goddess Var silently flirts with Anders. When it came to the pre-wedding ceremony, they continued to flirt and were about to have sex before things got complicated. Later Anders ended things when she made it clear she would sacrifice Mike's life, to Michele's anger.
Having fewer friends who were Gods/Goddesses, Michele decided to arrange an alliance with Colin, and they quickly formed a relationship primarily built upon sexual desire and not love. This easily got complicated as she realised how little he thought of her and his demand for sex without care for her emotions. Thus she decided to end it, with a parting knee to the testicles.
Michele appeared to have an eye on Mike for a while, and flirted even while she was with Colin. After giving him the boot, she decided to try and get things on with Mike, and the two played flirtacious games with one another, mostly based around their powers, and Mike told her he would consider taking things further if she hooked up the unlovable Zeb with someone. After doing so, they continued to play their flirting game until they slept together.
