[edit] Description

Mischievous when she wants to be, calculating when she needs to be, Michaela is nonetheless a loyal friend and close ally to those she thinks matters. She pressured best friend Amy Barnes into having sex with her short-term boyfriend, Ste Hay. She has selfishly bullied her friend into going all the way with Ste so that her boyfriend Wayne Tunnicliffe (Ste's mate) won't dump her. When Ste dumped Amy, Michaela's nasty streak became apparent as she abandoned her friend and teased her, before going off with Wayne and Ste, leaving Amy upset and alone. When Amy stands up to her they had a fight in the playground. The day after Michaela gets a taste of her own medicine when she is dumped by Wayne. He dumps her by text message, saying he only went out with her because she was easy. Amy and Michaela reconciled as friends but then Michaela led her to shoplifting.

She finds out about Amy's teen pregnancy and keeps her mouth shut. After Amy gets seriously hurt in a car crash that Michaela was present in, she gets the blame, even though it was Amy who egged on Ste to steal the car and drive it faster. She nearly tells the Barnes family about Amy's pregnancy, but just as she's about to confess, Amy (who was unconscious from the crash) awakens. While at her sister Mercedes' birthday party, Amy shows up and tries to talk to Michaela but she doesn't want anything to do with Amy because she's getting all the blame for the car crash because she's a 'McQueen'. Stating that it's always about Amy, and that since she's found out about her baby Michaela's always been there for Amy, and that Amy has never considered what she wants, she ends their friendship telling Amy she means nothing to her anymore.

Concerned at the lack of a father figure in her life, Michaela produces her father's address from her mother's handbag. They arrange a meeting, where her father apologises for not trying harder to be involved in her life, claiming her mother stopped him from seeing his kids. After inviting him back to the house to surprise the family, Michaela finds out he was not to be trusted after all. Returning from an errand to the shop, she finds out he has made off with the family's possessions, alcohol, and Christmas presents. Initially angry, the family forgive her, seeing how upset she is at being duped, betrayed and ruining the family's Christmas.

Recently, she has started going out with best mate Sasha's brother Sonny Valentine, which no-one is aware of yet, and has been comforting other best mate Amy after the birth of her daughter Leah. She and Sonny planned to sleep together but didn't as Calvin walked in. Even though Sonny has strong feelings for Michaela, he is concerned about what his mates will think about him going out with her, something she isn't aware of.
