To be fair, I'm still apologetic over what happened between Shizuka and Nick Weston, and would like some sort of resolution and/or closure, but since this is a prequel, I'm going with a new character.

He's basically a Disney princess.[/indent][b][color=FFFF00]Profession:[/color][/b][indent]Michel works at Shine Aquarium as a maintenance technician, making sure the tanks receive the proper oxygen and are at the right temperature, as well as simpler tasks like replacing bulbs, making sure the PA system works, etc.[/indent][b][color=FFFF00]Bio/Personality:[/color][/b][indent]Michel was born and raised in Shine City to a struggling, lower middle class single mother. Michel was never a stand-out individual, always doing mediocre-to-average at best in his school work. He did have a passion for science and the sea, though he never became great at it. Due to being slightly socially awkward, Michel believed that he was more interested in 'things' than in people, but as it turns out, Michel actually cares deeply about the way people feel, he just has a hard time solving people problems. At home, he spent most of his time on his computer, teaching himself a little about computer maintenance, a little about coding, and a little about setting up a network. During summers, he worked at an internship at the Aquarium putting the skills he'd learned to practical use. Upon graduating high school, and having not been accepted to Shine City Academy, the only place he applied to, he was able to turn his internship into a full-time position. He decided to stay in Shine City to take care of his aging mother. Halfway through high school, Michel had come out as bisexual, with a slight male preference. While his mother was fine with it, school became a little awkward, and being an introvert, closing himself off came naturally. While not exactly scarred or broken by any means, Michel yearns for social interactions, and tries his best to just be that cheerful, happy, helpful (and slightly effeminate) person he wishes everyone could be.[/indent][b][color=FFFF00]Theme Song:[/color][/b][indent][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7giALsqxvy0[/youtube][/indent]
