"In the vastness of everything, I know she’s out there, and I’m going to find her!"

- Lumi about Michelle

"Don't cry Lumi. Don't for one second ever believe any of this was your fault. Show the world the best of psionics, now we have seen the worst. Carry on living Lumi, please! And never stop!"

- Michelle to Lumi as she remakes the world

Michelle Faraday is Lumi Faraday’s younger sister. She is the one responsible for remaking the world after the Psychic War, and is the final member of the Quartet of Psionic Absolutes, along with Lumi Faraday, Nita Flores, and Queen Filicia of Psychena.

Appearance
The last time Michelle was ever seen was over twenty years ago, at the battle with Marc. Back then, Michelle has short white hair, purple eyes, and white, see-through clothing- clothing resembling a mix between a spirit and Psychena.

Personality
Michelle was always the type to push forward, and drag others with her. She would never stop training her powers. Michelle was always cheerful, always polite, always helpful, and generally a really pleasant person to be around.

After the event of her attacks and the Psychic War, Michelle was definitely changed, as is not so eager to run before she can walk as she was before. But her willingness to help, and always have a comforting smile on her face never left her.

Background
Michelle and her older sister, by two years, Lumi, were both born with a regular level of psychic power; basic telekinesis and telepathy. They were never with importance in their fates or as children of legend, just kids with a little psychic power. Their intelligence at young ages meant they mastered the English and French languages both at the age of three, and could even handle basic algebra age the same age. They often used their telepathy without realizing it, and combining this with her intellegence, it made it difficult for them to even be around other children their age.

Michelle informed by Lumi when she was four they had special powers. Because they now realised they were different, it let them hide it, and play along with other kids more easily, leading to them making friends. This is where the difference in opinion of psionics Lumi and Michelle had. Lumi believed they should keep their powers on the low, blend in and live a normal life. Michelle believed they should exercise their powers, let them grow, and help the world with them. They frequently butted heads over this, but still stayed close. Around when Lumi was 8 and Michelle was 6, they made contact with their close-friend-to-be, the immortal psychic entity, Eadda Cayce.

As the years passed, Michelle was pushing her power harder and harder, determined to make Lumi believe in its beauty. Lumi was, very slowly, being convinced, but still didn't want any part of it. Unbeknownst to the two girls, the leader of a psychic "research" sect of the military had his eyes on them. Michelle never stopped practicing, she pushed and pushed her powers to the limits/

It was when Lumi was 15 and Michelle was 13 when it happened. Lumi was starting to see a benefit to having really strong psionics, but remained unconvinced. Michelle pushed her power's growth too far through unchecked training, still trying to show her sister what psionics can do. But it was too much, she was forcing her Human mind into a level of psionic capabilities it simple couldn't handle. Her mind tried to reel it in to a manageable level ("Natural Over-Powered Psionic Correction", or "Michelle Syndrome", as Lumi called it much later in life), it caused Michelle to suffer from a huge attack- something akin to an asthmatic attack, heart palpitations, and a stroke all at once. After the attack was over, Michelle's body was left forever damaged. Her psionic power managed to keep the damage in check a little, but her memory, emotions and ability to walk were ruined.

This is when Marc Beaumont, the leader of the psionic "research" military sect made his appearance. He promised and convinced the distraught Faraday family he could save Michelle, and they agreed. They wouldn't see her at all over the next year, not until a report of a "strange attack" on a Russian village spread across the news. Michelle was tricked and played into becoming Marc's puppet weapon. Lumi knew in her heart after seeing a photo that it was Michelle, and so did her parents. Their hearts sank and Lumi wanted answers. She knew she wouldn't stand a chance against her sister, figuring out that any encounter with her would end in a battle, likely. She decided to approach Eadda and ask for her help. Eadda agreed to train and teach Lumi.

Over the course of the next two years, Michelle would attack town after town, and influence the world from the shadows with Marc. The powered up Lumi went after Michelle, and the fight began. The two most powerful psychics on Earth at the time clashing in an all-out duel. The world was captivated after near-by news crew began televising it. Michelle stayed emotionless the entire fight, while Lumi was emotionally driven. The fight lasted for hours, the world was captivated, and terrified by these two psychics.

It all ended when Lumi drew out a burst of power, and broke through Michelle's defenses. She got into her mind, only to find nothing of her sister left, nothing but a single thought- "help me, Lumi", floating around her mind. Tears flowed as Lumi ended her sister's pain by shattering her mind, immediately ending her life.

This fight triggered outrage against psychics the world over, which Marc reveled in. Marc had actually cloned a small army from Michelle's DNA, a super-powered psychic army he used to initiate the psychic war. The war lasted for six years, and it was the longest six years of Earth's history. Psychic against Psychic, Human against Human, Psychic against Human. Marc was trying to rid the world of powerless Humans and weak psychics, to bring about "his true Psychic World". Marc himself transferred his mind into a cloned body- the most powerful of them all. The world was broken, society was in tatters, and the population was low.

Lumi and Marc finally clashed in the sixth year. It was a hard-fought battle, but Lumi had once against been training with Eadda, and powered up. During this clash, somehow using the huge amounts of energy being released, Michelle reappeared as a half-spirit, half-psychena being, and helped Lumi. She held off Marc with as much might as she could muster to give Lumi enough time to release her Absolute Psionic Power.

After the battle, and after Lumi had woken up from her injuries and exhaustion, Michelle used up the last of her power- her very being, to remake the Earth, and push back the appearance of psionics. It was an extraordinary feat, and the world was remade as if all the previous event never happened, and a new history was written.

The whereabouts of Michelle now are unknown.

Powers
Michelle's powers when she returned at the battle with Marc, at the end of the Psychic War, are a mystery, even to Lumi. She knows they rival her own powers, but in a different way- similar to Queen Filicia.

Michelle actually possesses the ability to manipulate the very underpinning mechanics of all of psionics, the manipulation of "Psionic Concepts". So instead of possessing huge psionic might like her sister, she possesses the finest control of psionics to exist.

Trivia

 * According to Queen Filicia, there is something known as the Quartet of Psionic Absolutes. This "Quartet" was always going to exist, according to her, but who and when were never certainties. Of course, each of Lumi's, Michelle's, and Filicia's powers can do exactly the same thing, but their origin is different.
 * Lumi Faraday, Absolute Psionic Power
 * Michelle Faraday, Psionic Concepts Manipulation
 * Queen Filicia, Psionic Embodiment
 * Nita Flores, Anti-Psionics Manipulation
