Michaela

"To me, you are a wonderful person."

Michaela is a forest spirit who dwells in Eldoh's Forest, located in Elphegort. She was infamous for the role she played in Story of Evil.

History
Michaela was present during the events that unfolded in Moonlit Bear. Using the body of a robin, she witnessed Eve Moonlit commit the first sin in history.

In EC 499, she was attacked by a blackbird but was rescued by Clarith. Clarith took Michaela (still in her robin form) to her house where she took care of Michaela until her wings have healed. Michaela was baffled by the fact that Clarith was so unhappy with her life. Michaela pitied her loneliness and wanted to be her very first friend. When Elluka Clockworker paid a visit to the Eldoh Tree, Michaela asked her for a human body. When asked what appearance she should have, Michaela thought of Eve Moonlit.

With that, Michaela took her first steps into the human world, but not without having major setbacks with her new body. Clarith happened to find Michaela in the forest when she collapsed due to a fever and brought her to back to her home. All of the townsfolk adored Michaela due to her wonderful personality, but she was distraught about how Clarith is discriminated by the rest of the village due to her white hair. When Clarith's stepmother died, Michaela suggested that she and Clarith leave Yatski Village and told her that she is the nicest person she had ever met. Clarith, with renewed happiness, wholeheartedly agreed.

Michaela and Clarith left Yatski Village to start a new life in Aceid, capital of Elphegort. There, the two of them begun working for Keel Freesis, Head of the Freesis Foundation. One day, Kyle Marlon paid a visit to the Freesis household and he fell in love with Michaela, giving her a shell necklace to prove his love for her. Michaela took it, believing that it was just a friendly gesture. Kyle did admit his betrothal to Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche and when he asked Michaela about the possibility of "leaving everything behind" and running away with her, Michaela was shocked.

One day, Michaela was singing in town and there she met Allen Avadonia. Allen too fell in love with her, but Michaela did admit to herself that she couldn't return those feelings.

News traveled fast about Kyle Marlon's supposed "affair" with Michaela to Riliane, prompting Riliane to spark the invasion of Elphegort known as the "Green Hunting". Elluka and Gumillia attempted to persuade Michaela to abandon her human body, but she refused to leave her human friends behind. Michaela and Clarith then fled into the forest where Michaela was hidden in a shelter underneath a well. Allen finds Michaela and promises to help her escape. Unfortunately, Michaela was stabbed by Ney Futapie, who was disguised as Allen. In her last moments, she wished for Clarith to be safe. Michaela died, not before seeing Allen one last time.

However, death didn't come by so easily, for Michaela's spirit transformed into a tree sapling and she was recovered by Elluka Clockworker and Gumillia. The two of them revealed Michaela's identity to Clarith and asked her to take care of Michaela until she matures, for she has been chosen to be Eldoh's successor. Michaela then appears in her spirit form and says her final goodbyes to Clarith, not before saying, "I love you". Michaela was finally planted in Eldoh's Forest by Clarith and Riliane.
