Biography
Early Life
When she turned 21, Michelle stated that her mother, Karen, was highly disappointed when she became reincarnated as Sjöfn, and refused talked to either of her parents before her father's death, after which she allowed a little more contact with her mother. (I Can Give You Frigg) (Unleash the Kraken!)
At some point she met Agnetha and the other Goddesses, and agreed to stop Odin and Frigg from meeting and restoring all the Gods powers.
Season 1
Michele was present as Agnetha and Ingrid used fortune cards to check if Axl Johnson was going to become Odin. When Stacey failed to kill him, Michele complained that she should have been chosen to do so instead, and begged for the chance to do so, but Agnetha disagreed, saying they would need to wait. Deciding to try anyway, Michele dressed up as a woman similar to two Anders had brought with him to Axl’s 21st party, and used her power of seduction to lead him away from the house, eventually shooting him with an arrow, but he caught the first and shot him again, the next time hitting her mark. But as she later found out he survived, and her actions had only caused the prophecy to come full circle, meaning Axl was now Odin, and Agnetha was furious, but Michele was not going to be looked down upon and suggested the hunt was now on to find Frigg instead. (It's Kind Of A Birthday Present)
The misindentification of Eva as Frigg made Michelle desperate to ensure her power once the apparently innevitable rise to power occurred. This resulted in a blood oath with Anders, to ensure that they were to be considered equal.
This deal backfired upon the discovery of Eva being Hel, and she tried to make Anders agree to let Mike forfeit his life so that Axl could continue the Quest, however he refused to turn on his brother, ending their alliance.
Season 2
After the Goddesses alliance started falling apart, Michele decided to align herself with Colin, merely to make themselves a power couple amongst the other Gods. However she eventually tired or his disrespect for her and only wanting her for sex, and left him with a farewell in the balls.
Michelle's first demonstration of power occurs in season 2. To prove her strength to Mike, Michelle utilized her power to cause Stacey to become infatuated with Zeb, who up until that point had been a virgin. This 'love spell' appeared to last for a few days before wearing off. Upon which, Stacey became repused as to what had happened to her, clearly maintaining all of her memories of the incident and likened it to rape. However the prrof of her abilities ended up with her starting a relationship with Mike.
After Yggdrasil was obtained, Michelle utilized it by accident to heal Odin of a severe sickness that reduced the the powers of all gods significantly. Once realizing this, Michelle stole Yggdrasil from Anders and shared the power of it with the other goddesses. The stick was used again later on to aid Ty in his quest to become mortal. In the final episode of the season, Colin states that this new power of Michelle makes her the most powerful of the currently known gods.

Powers
Subliminal Seduction - Through this power, Michele can make anyone who sees her find her physically attractive to the point of irresistible and feel themselves drawn toward her, regardless of gender or species. She can likely use this power to make people do her commands. As seen on Axl’s 21st party, when she used her power of seduction to lead him away from the house to kill him (It's Kind Of A Birthday Present). Resisting her seduction is possible but also very difficult, especially if she is trying hard to seduce someone. In season two even more of Michele's powers are revealed. To prove her strength to Mike, Michelle utilized her power to cause Stacey to become infatuated with Zeb, who up until that point had been a virgin. This 'love spell' appeared to last for a few days before wearing off. Upon which, Stacey became repused as to what had happened to her, clearly maintaining all of her memories of the incident and likened it to rape.
Healing (Yggdrasil Stick induced) - After Yggdrasil was obtained, Michelle utilized it by accident to heal Odin of a severe sickness that reduced the the powers of all gods significantly. Once realizing this, Michelle stole Yggdrasil from Anders and shared the power of it with the other goddesses. The stick was used again later on to aid Ty in his quest to become mortal. In the final episode of the season, Colin states that this new power of Michelle makes her the most powerful of the currently known gods.
Personality
Michele is the sort of woman men idolize from afar; and fear up close. Up close, 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 Goddess, joining the Forces of Frigg was no easy thing for Michele. There is power in numbers – and Michele likes power. The alliance was beneficial for her, with Agnitha paying off her students lones. Wanting to increase her own strength, but not live in servitude under gods after ascension, Michelle would do anything to maintain power. Including making a pact with Bragi for equal strength. 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, known to have been a one-time-stand with Sonja and sleep with Axl when he gender shifted to Mia.
Anders Johnson
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.
Colin Gunderson
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.
Mike Johnson
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. Though they had agreed to keep things fairly casual, they do seem to have become close and care about one another.
After Michele failed to convince Mike to let his "dark side" out, she believed that he did not care about her at all, however he showed her that he loved her by wasting a shopping spree on buying her flowers, and she reciprocated.
Trivia
- Michele is the second-most powerful Goddess of all those currently reincarnated when she doesn't have the powers of the Yggdrasil Stick, but when she does, she has more power than Idun.
