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.

*the twins give Michi the curious, and adorable, beluga cat face upon bumping into her. They say nothing, just, give her an innocent and confused gaze*
Michi has to cover her mouth with her sleeve to stifle the giggle threatening to come out. With faces like that, they remind her so much of Kogare!
"Hello!" She hums. "Are you two looking for something? I'm afraid I don't know this area very well, but I can do my best. "

Laurance is never treated like a victim in canon.
Michi's implied sexual harassment never affects the plot in any way shape of form. It doesn't change anything about the way Laurance acts, it doesn't ever get mentioned again.
I will also write out other instances of forms of implied S/A as they make me uncomfortable. (Ghost constantly harassing Zane sexually, Gene wanting to brainwash a girl into loving him for the rest of her life(that would be considered attempted s/a right?), and Zane giving a pendant to Kiki to give her a child without asking her for consent first and all the instances of kissing without consent). Also, all of those things I mentioned affect the plot in more drastic ways then Michi's one line.
It was never done anything with in canon and therefore I prefer to ignore and write out this one line contradicting any interesting quality Michi displayed beforehand.
Women can very much do wrong, we've recently just started to call out instances where women are judged more harshly then men. We haven't tried to say that you cannot dislike a female character at all.
I completely understand if you are uncomfortable with Michi. All I am asking of you is not to think of me as the worst person to ever exist or to ever harass anyone over liking her or writing these things out of their interpretation of her. (I very much fear posting about Michi and receiving any form of hate and harassment over it. ) (harass or tell them they're a bad person for doing that). And to judge female characters and male characters as harshly as the other.
To take a step back sometimes and self reflect to see if you aren't posting way more about male characters then the female ones. And take a step back to realise if you haven't been judging female characters way more harshly then male ones. To see if your fics pass the bechdel test.
