PERSONALITY
Mikaela might look like your typical pretty girl with no brains, but she's quite the opposite. She's very clever and sharp, able to get out of situations quickly. It was something she learned while growing up with her dad. She can find people's weak points easily and use them against them. She has balls and she'll face anyone if she believes she's right, even guys twice her size.
One of the first things that people should know about Mikaela is that she doesn't take shit from anybody. What you see is what you get with her. She's not going to pretend to be something she's not; she doesn't go talking shit behind your back nor she backstabs anybody. That's childish and immature. If she has a problem with you she'll tell you. There's nothing Mikaela appreciates more in a person than honesty. She doesn't see the point of lying or telling those half-truths or being nice to someone when you actually hate them. It doesn't help any kind of relationship.
And she's friendly with pretty much everyone unless they give her a reason not to. She can be your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on how you approach to her. If someone is honest and shows themselves as they are, Mikaela will have no problem being friends with them, even if they're jerks. But Mikaela hates two-faced people and, especially, spoiled bitchy brats. It's very likely that she will throw snarky comments at them if they ever bother her. And she's definitely not scared of punching anyone. She's been known to punch a couple of guys who got too friendly or say something bad about her friends.
Mikaela is pretty stubborn, though determined is the world she'd use if asked; but the truth is even she knows she's more stubborn than anything else. When she sets her mind on something, it's impossible to make her think about anything else or make her see that she might be wrong. Even if she realizes that she might be wrong, she just hates the feeling of having to admit it. She might admit it, but she'll spend the rest of the day cranky because of it.
APPEARANCE
There is no doubt that Mikaela is an atractive girl, but she had never been one to flaunt it like other girls may have. She just wasn't the type. She has straight, long dark brown, almost black hair that cascades down her back; she usually has it up on a ponytail or a bun is she's at the autoshop. Her eyes are ice blue, which made a pretty contrast with her golden skin. She loves being in the sun, so she always has a nice tan that also gives her some freckles across her nose and cheeks.
She has worn what she wanted when she wanted, not caring if she looked good in it or not, nor if other thought she looked good in it or not. She's usually seen with denim shorts and a tantop, with some smudge of grease or motor oil somewhere on her clothes from working on a car or a bike.
SKILLS/ABILITIES
01. Can fix almost anything mechanical. 02. Amazing driver. 03. Can steal any car/bike. 04. TBD. 05. TBD. 06. TBD.
HISTORY
Mikaela didn't have an easy start in this world. Her mother died very shortly after she was born, so it was just her and her dad to take care of each other. His father tried hard to bring Mikaela the best he could, but it wasn't an easy job; not when he stole cars to sell the parts and hard to take Mikaela with him as he worked on the cars because they couldn't afford a babysitter.
At first, Mikaela didn't understand what her father was doing, but she didn't care. She liked it when they got to spend time together. However, once she grew up, she began to realize what he was doing. She had mixed feelings about it, knowing stealing was bad but that without that they would probably have no home or food to eat. So she never told him to stop, only prayed that he never got caught. But that, of course, had to happen someday. Mikaela was then left alone, under the care of her aunt while his father was in jail; and even got her own record because she refused to turn her father in.
But her life gave a 180ยบ spin when she accepted a ride home from Sam Witwicky after she had dumped her jock and studid boyfriend Trent. In a matter of two days she discovered that not only aliens existed but they could hide in the form of cars among them, hiding their existence from humans.
She joined Sam and the Autobots in the fight against the Decepticons, who wanted to get their hands in the All Spark to kill all humans and Autobots and conquer the universe. After a fight in a town near the Hoover Dam, where the government had hidden the All Spark for decades, the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron, was defeated and humanity was saved.
But it wouldn't be the last time. The world would need Sam again right when he was going to college. College wasn't Mikaela's place, so she was happy to stay at home and help her dad with the auto shop while Sam went on and worked hard to get his degree. But trouble seemed to always find him and herself. And soon she found herself in the middle of another epic battle between Autobots and Decepticons, this time in Egypt.
While Earth survived this battle with the Decepticons, her and Sam's relationship did not. Things weren't working between them anymore and it was clear that one of them had to take the next step and do something about it. She could not handle another fight or another day ignoring each other. She didn't like the idea of dumping Sam after all they've been through, after almost losing him in Egypt, after all that fighting to save the world; but she didn't see another solution. It felt like everything they had done for the world had ended up destroying their own little world, burning everything good and leaving only the bad. Was it worth it, letting all that shit destroy your life so the rest of the world can keep theirs?... Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't; but she had to deal with it.
So she took Wheelie, Brains and her dog Bonecrusher with her. She loved that little former Deception more than she had imagined she would, and couldn't bare to leave him behind; and wherever Wheelie went, Brains followed. So now it was her, Arcee, Wheelie, Brains and Bonecrusher against the world. Not too bad in her opinion.
