Backstory

As a baby, Michelle was put up for adoption by an anonymous mother and went into the system. She quickly found a home with the Weiss family, an older infertile couple, who doted heavily on their child they named Mikael. However, at a young age, the child always referred to herself as a girl and insisted her name was ‘Michelle’ and not Mikeal, after some time and professional help the parents decided not to stifle their daughter’s gender presentation and identity and see how Michelle would develop. She never changed her mind and after a few years, her parents fully came to embrace their surprise daughter.

Michelle proved to be a strong daughter in both character and physique, which could be quite destructive and messy, and so her parents decided to channel her energy in a constructive way and the young girl was enrolled in various sports programs to try out, Judo and weight-lighting were the ones she favored most and Michelle put in an extraordinary amount of work into learning and practicing.

Because there is no test to determine magical potential Michelle grew up unaware of her heritage and at sixteen was a well-adjusted if socially inept teenager, a fan of local superheroes (Including Valkyra the 3rd to whom she always felt drawn,) her best day was when she met her idol who to her surprise treated her with such kindness, almost motherly care.

What Michelle did not know was that the third Valkyra was in fact her biological mother who had given her for adoption hoping she would be safe from the dangers of being a cape kid but had secretly kept an eye on her for all these years.

Michelle would only learn the truth when Valkyra was killed by a supervillain and in the night she awoke in horrible pain, having grown wings of her own as the new inheritor of the mantle of the Valkyra! But the mantle came with enemies, and surprise allies such as Freyja the twin sister she had never known she had.

Without much choice, Michelle was sent to Ravenhold Academy to master her powers and keep her safe from her enemies.
