Some people led exciting lives, some people didn't mind that they didn't, Michelle sort of sat in the middle. Being naturally good at hide and seek in her youth set Michelle up for the belief that she could easily be invisible if she wanted. With a little patience and cleverness, the Smeargle discovered that she in fact could be invisible if she applied her natural talents with a bit of improvised camouflage. Nobody ever found her. It wasn't long before her friends decided not to play hide and seek anymore. In her preteen years she discovered the gender divide for the first time. Her female friends wanted to play with dolls, her male friends wanted to play baseball. Michelle had an easy time deciding. Before long they didn't really want to play baseball either, not because Michelle was too good at baseball because she wasn't, or because she was a girl, but mostly because Michelle had a tendency to hit people with the bat whenever she struck out. Even in the rougher crowds, Michelle stood out like a sore thumb, usually standing on the bodies of those she whooped.

There was one who wasn't afraid of her as most others were, her best friend Tabitha Everheart. Tabitha often stood by herself on the playground, Michelle wouldn't pay her much mind until finally she took offense to the Nidoqueen standing by herself like she was too good to play with the rest of them. Then she heard about Tabitha's family life. A few days later, Tabitha joined Michelle in her games, Michelle would usually lighten up and go easier on her opponents while Tabitha would be more outgoing and aggressive. Within a month the two were inseparable, and unstoppable.

When puberty hit, Michelle found herself to be disappointed in her rather bottom heavy figure, it threw her off in a lot of her usual activities to have added weight to her backside. She just couldn't lose that weight either, no matter how much she exercised. But Michelle kept being her usual aggressive self, lightening up only to help her bestie feel a little better about herself. High School brought its own challenges, but Michelle wasn't the type to back down, she lived every moment, but still wished for more. While life was easy for her, she still desired some sort of excitement, something that no fight, game, or otherwise had yet given her.
Once she finished High School she received a red sports car from her parents as a graduation present and headed off to college, promising to keep in touch with Tabitha. It was about then that life caught up to her. Sure she had a nice car and was going to a nice college, but her parents reminded her of something important: they couldn't pay for all of it themselves. She needed a job. While Michelle had a professional attitude, she sorely lacked the patience and found herself between jobs relatively often. Then one day, she met Kyla. Michelle remembered Kyla too well from her high school, a rich self-centered bitch of a slut that she'd like to clobber.
Kyla was desperate however, and had a damn good memory. The Dragonair had heard rumors that Michelle could make herself nearly invisible, she needed a bit of that, someone had screwed with her and they needed to pay. Michelle replied saying that Kyla needed a smack to the head. Kyla replied that she would ignore that statement and reply with a whole lot of money to do a dirty deed. Michelle realized she didn't really care who this person was but to the tune of a lot of money they may as well be dirt. Thus began Michelle's life as a freelance spy, and one of the few elements in Kyla's life that she couldn't fully control.
Michelle's talents soon were heard by one of Kyla's fuckbuddies, a rather large one at that. Michelle had no idea about Kyla's taste in men. But he seemed to know and be on good terms with Tabitha, and had a lot of money. With a little persuasion, Michelle became an archaeologist as well, in the loosest of terms of course. In no time at all, Michelle lived a life that most could only dream of, college student by day, exciting action star by night. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
