She believes that every person has good in them, no matter how deep it is buried. This, however, can cause problems for her. She is overly trusting, which can get her into sticky situations.

Her Parallel Processing capabilities are among the best, shown by how she could effectively support a team of four combatants in the past, a team that was A-Rank.

History
⇀ Background
Michiko's mother died of illness when Michiko was very young, so she was raised by her father. She was always trying to help her father since he worked so hard, and she always tried to make him proud. She was very smart, so she did well in school, and she was well-liked by everyone she met. After the first Neighbor invasion, she overheard her father and one of his co-workers talking about an organization called Border. After doing research on the organization, she decided that she wanted to join to help people. Her father was against it at first, but he eventually allowed it. She wanted to be a combatant, but her Trion levels were very low, and she failed the physical portions of the exam. Instead, she became an Operator. It was discovered that she was a natural at the job, so after a short training period, she was allowed to become the Operator of a unit. She became the Operator of the A-Rank unit consisting of Hanai Kiyoshi, Hanai Atsuya, Ikari Hokuto, and Hasegawa Anzu. At first, they were unsure if she was fit for the job because she was so young, but she quickly proved herself. After an incident where Anzu attacked her teammates, Hanai Unit was demoted to B-Rank. They are now the No.02 B-Rank Unit, and they aim to become A-Rank again.
