Background / History

Michelle formerly worked for U Company as its chief programmer and was known there as the “Genius Little Hacker.” Her family owns 35% of U’s shares, and her uncle Klaus is a major shareholder and later identified as U’s leader. She left the company after her red Ferrari became the Silicon-based life-form Famous Car; U demanded that she surrender it within a month. 116 129 131

She claims a highly mixed background—including Italian, Chinese, and Mexican heritage—and states that she speaks eight languages. 115

Before meeting Pei Shao, Michelle had already attempted to investigate a hidden Himalayan site connected to Silicon-based People. Famous Car could pass the site’s laser grid, but could not simultaneously crack its lock and fight the guard robot, forcing her to seek another Silicon-based ally. 117 126

Appearance

Michelle is introduced as a young blonde girl with conspicuous golden hair. She is approximately 150 cm tall and is often presented in childlike, attention-grabbing clothing, including a pink princess dress. 114 116 122

• Blonde hair; loose golden strands are left behind after one of her pranks. 122
• Small stature; she states that she is 150 cm tall. 116
• Frequently adopts an innocent or tearful expression to mislead others. 115 124

Personality

Michelle is clever, theatrical, and highly manipulative. She quickly identifies Pei Shao’s concern for Castle and repeatedly uses that secret, as well as public misunderstandings, to pressure him into helping her reach the Himalayas. 116 117 119

Her schemes are often elaborate rather than impulsive: she tricks Pei Shao with spiced coffee, engineers Lin Meijing’s jealousy, fabricates a story that Pei Shao is her father, and stages a compromising scene involving Wang Zifei. 115 116 119 121

Despite this behavior, Michelle is deeply attached to Famous Car and becomes visibly frightened when it is damaged. During the Himalayan expedition, she increasingly relies on Pei Shao for protection and comfort, calling him “Dad” even after admitting that he is not actually her father. 123 125 126

Story Role / Major Arcs

First Contact with Pei Shao

Michelle first appears while driving Famous Car, luring Pei Shao into an underground garage and attacking him with lasers. After he disables the Ferrari’s wheels, she takes him to a café, where she reveals that she knows about Castle and introduces Famous Car. 114 115

U Company Secret and Himalayan Proposal

Michelle tells Pei Shao about U Company’s interest in Silicon-based People, her former role within the company, and the danger posed by U discovering Castle. She asks him to join her expedition to a Himalayan site containing ancient Silicon-based secrets, then threatens to expose Castle when he refuses. 116 117

False Fatherhood Scheme

After failing to secure Pei Shao’s cooperation, Michelle escalates her pranks. She creates misunderstandings with Lin Meijing and Dongfang Yinyin, publicly claims that Pei Shao abandoned her and her mother, and later frames Wang Zifei to further damage Pei Shao’s reputation. 118 119 121 122

Michelle eventually admits that her story about Pei Shao being her father was fabricated. Pei Shao agrees to accompany her to the Himalayas, ending their immediate conflict. 123 124

Himalayan Expedition

Michelle, Pei Shao, Castle, and Famous Car travel through Tibet to an ancient underground base. Michelle suffers altitude sickness, but recovers using Famous Car’s equipment; during the ascent, she becomes increasingly reliant on Pei Shao. 125

At the base entrance, Michelle explains the lethal laser grid and supports Famous Car as it battles the Spider Robots while Castle cracks the door’s password. Her impulsive attempt to reach Famous Car nearly exposes her to the lasers. 126

Inside the base, Michelle accidentally activates its final defense by turning a sphere-like device. The resulting EMP magnetic shockwave damages both Castle and Famous Car. 128

U Company and Skynet Conflict

Seeking repairs for Castle and Famous Car, Michelle contacts Klaus. Her call exposes Pei Shao’s knowledge of U’s secrets, prompting U to hunt down Michelle, Pei Shao, and their companions. 129 130

Michelle is captured alongside Pei Shao’s group at U’s headquarters. After Skynet takes control of the situation, she remains certain that Famous Car will not harm her; Famous Car subsequently answers Castle’s signal and helps the group. 131 132

Following the extraction of upgrade programs from Pei Shao’s brain, Michelle witnesses Famous Car’s enhanced transformation. 133

Trivia

• Michelle had previously visited the Himalayan base but could not overcome its defenses with Famous Car alone. 117 126
• She is more skilled at roller skating than Wang Zifei. 121
