I've come to realize that I have not gone through my insane rambling of why Michi is my favorite character in MYS. I need to fix that right now.
I will warn you, the ocification beam is strong on this one.
For the longest time I've always felt like Michi was a product of her soroundings. Does it excuse the things she's done? No, but hear me out; if going with the assumption that her mys lore is similar to her mcd lore, then both her parents are gone, dead in some way or another and she is without any kind of parental figure other than a single crazy cat lady who likes her just cause she's part cat.
I feel like her obsession with Aphmau could be easily explained with PDH. Throughout pdh Laurence is constantly going after Aphmau, persuing her, fawning over her, and Michi, is equally doing the same over Laurence.
And suddenly, one day Laurence wants to go out with her, be in a relationship with her. She's ecstatic, over the moon. So much so that she can't realize he's just using her as a place holder, because that's what his intentions were.
She adored him, put so much love and effort into their relationship, only for Laurence to brush her off and have googoo eyes for Aphmau, a girl two-three years below their grade.
Many girls in PDH didn't like Aphmau for boy related reasons, but Michi, Michi despised her. Whenever she would even bring up Aphmau and her concerns of her, Laurence would shoot her down, telling her she's overthinking. Michi hated Aphmau.
When she finally graduated, she tried to get far away from Phoenix Drop. She hated Aphmau so much she had to leave her home town. The one time she got attention, when she thought someone would finally love her, and it got stolen up by that clumsy little freshman.
When Michi came back on offer from KC to work at IHop with her, Michi took it up. She didn't like KC, but KC was the only person who loked her. The pink mifwa was like a sister to her. A sister she never wanted but was stuck with all the same.
Michi was never good at keeping friends, let alone making them. When KC showed intrest in Reece, Michi stepped in instantly, stealing the man from her. It's the only way she felt like she had power, and she knew it would drive KC away from her. Having friends meant being hurt by them, that's all Michi knew. No one could love her, she was a weirdo, a weirdo no one wanted.
Anything she seemed to show intrest in, suddenly there was Aphmau, stealing the limelight and praise once again from her. No matter what she can't get away from her. Every corner of her lofe was blocked by Aphmau.
Michi knew deep down that Aphmau didn't mean it, but so many times had Aphmau ruined her life.
The cycle never ended. Find a friend, get hurt by them, be all alone again.
Ein felt like normal. Ein felt like home. Ein felt like what love was, what friendship was. The pain he inflicted on Michi felt normal. She was afraid of him, she knew at any moment he could and would use a forever potion on her, but in a deep pit of her stomach it soothed her. The cycle continued, and the cycle hurt, but it felt like home. But of course, it was all for Aphmau. Aphmau, Aphmau, Aphmau.
No matter where she went, no matter who she trusted, Aphmau was always there, ruining her life.
I deeply feel that Michi is a product of abuse and neglect, that her siding with villians all the time is from a need for someone like that to view her as worthy, to love her in any way. That the neglect and rejection by Laurence all those years ago soured her so deeply that the cycle of abuse and truama became 'home' to her.
Her want and borderline need to take Aaron from Aphmau is sourced from Aphmau's stealing of Laurence from her, how she was in the middle of their 'relationship' the whole time and Michi just wnats revenge, to make Aphmau feel as hurt as she's made Michi feel for so many years.
I love Michi so much. Away from Jesson's bad writing, Michi could have been such a deeply troubled and complex character, but sadly she's just the weird villian side kick. Anyways, I love her, easily top 5 at least.

Michi, who ran away from home and even faked her death when she was sixteen. Michi, who when asked would say the crazy cat lady who took her in off the streets, yet only viewed her as yet another stray kitten, was her only family. Michi who was once hit with a forever potion and left in that cabin in the woods to rot, staring blankly at the walls waiting for the voice in her head to return, to give her orders, to give her direction.
Michi who as she laid there, on the wooden floors of the cabin much like a broken doll cast aside, called out for her twin. Her twin who shouted from the window at her not to come back when she slammed their old front door for the last time. Her twin who threw rocks at the Mei'fwa scouts who tried sabotaging his sister's cookies, because he'd 'always' have her back after all.
Michi who's body had been found six months after death, while decomposed it was untouched, because even the rats in the hell hole of a cabin didn't want her.

Don't mind me just venting out an idea
Okay so I saw someone talking about a kinda 'Dirty girl' situation for Michie but like Max about Richie and that idea has not left my thoughts all day but I also think about it with Richie about Max, so what if I did a three part fic with one chapter about Max thinking about Richie and one about Richie thinking about Max and the third one would be them actually being together for real, because I thought it be fun to play around with how they would think of the other verses how they would actually be, if that makes sense, like we know Max liked Grace because she was all religious and well for lack of better terms a prude, so it's safe to assume Max likes that idea Max would think about Richie being all shy and Max has a quite an ego (I am Jagerman, I am God) but also seems a little insecure (don't need no one to tell me high school will be my peak) so of course he would also think about Richie telling him how strong and handsome he is. And Richie wouldn't really know Max only the bully and jock attitude he sees at school, so his idea of Max would be brash and dominant, and rough (but like all in a good way). But then I thought it would be interesting to see how they actually would be together how their ideas of each were at points right or wrong, how they assumed things but actually get to see what was real and what was a fantasy (and of that reality was better than fantasy)
Anyway hope this made sense and that some read this and is maybe interested in me actually making this because this thought won't leave my mind
