Mikaela Banes || Transformers || 6/7

[nellasaur.livejournal.com]

Personality:
On the surface, Mikaela is nothing more than your usual shallow teenage girl. Even worse, she's a shallow teenage girl who knows that she's gorgeous--and knows how to use that to her advantage, perhaps the first indication that there are depths to this girl. While she's far from a genius, there's no doubt that she's sharp, and she knows how to use what she's been given.

Mikaela is gregarious and enthusiastic, making friends easily. She's fairly open about herself and the things she’s been through, especially on DDD, and gets more comfortable every day with being a greasemonkey as well as a bombshell. Mikaela can be incredibly playful, and is definitely not above saying raunchy or provoking things just to get a reaction. However, there are still cards that she plays close to the vest--she tends to only discuss her deepest fears and vulnerabilities with her best friends.

She's fiercely loyal to the people she holds most dear. People like her father and Sam (though her relationship with both of them is strained), Bumblebee and some of the other Autobots, and her very best friends through DDD can count on Mikaela to defend them stalwartly, sometimes to the point of foolhardiness. Mikaela can be stubborn as a bull when she's got her mind set about something. This especially comes into play when someone's talking trash about one of her friends; her loyalty will definitely come into play as she defends them. She is capable of seeing her friends' flaws, and she can be reasoned with, but she doesn't take the things she loves being attacked very well.

While she's not a trained warrior, she's also not afraid of throwing herself into danger when she thinks it's necessary, and had shown a particular knack for improvising weapons out of the things around her.

Though she's had to mature rapidly in a lot of ways in the past few years, Mikaela is still a teenage girl. She can be incredibly strong and incredibly stubborn, yes. She's been in the middle of a war zone multiple times, and has seen people suffering badly. She knows that sometimes you have to risk everything to do the right thing, and has a very well-defined sense of what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's evil. But at the same time, she can be stubborn when she shouldn't be. She doesn't know everything, and can make decisions rashly or based on incomplete information. She's incredibly proud and sometimes vain. She does stupid things, says stupid things, and still makes mistakes. Sometimes, she can't help being selfish.

In short, though she’s growing up, Mikaela’s still young, and sometimes she acts like it.
