One of the famous Four Angels of the Lumo Knights. She is upright and rarely smiles. She was transformed by the Illumina after she was seriously wounded, resulting in the loss of part of her emotions.

Did I not get enough sleep last night or are my eyes deceiving me? How come Miss Michael looked like she levitated over? I rubbed my eyes and, yeah, she was indeed levitating! The Knights of Lumopolis are truly something else! But then came the failure in communication, since she couldn't talk, and I'm incapable of telepathy. So there we were, staring at each other...
Just before I tried to break the awkward ice by offering her tea, %s finally showed up! While the "conversation" between them seemed rather uncomfortably silent, it's better than standing there awkwardly!
Also, I don't get why Miss Michael kept staring at my collar... Is there something wrong with it? I feel so embarrassed!
—Vice
As expected, so capable a Caelestite is. It must not be a simple feat to control a Colossus like this. Can you hear my voice? It's hard to imagine because it has been a long time since I interacted with others like this. It looks like things will be getting interesting in the future.
Did I scare the little lady from the Illumina when I first arrived? Most people avoid me when they see my appearance, so it's natural for her to be afraid of me. What? She was feeling awkward, not scared?
Did I do something to make her feel awkward? Was it because I came 10 minutes early or because I walked too quickly and she couldn't keep up? Don't tell me it was because she noticed me staring at the pin on her collar? I didn't mean to do that, but it was so cute... I'm sorry if that was rude.
Troy, the name of my family, is a symbol of power and political tactics in Lumopolis...
Although I can't speak anymore, our family motto is "words are our sharpest weapons". When I was young, while the other children at my age in my family were reading political classics and learning how to speak in an official setting, I was obsessed with physical training and the use of lumina power, not interested in anything other than fighting. My mother hoped I would follow the family tradition and made me learn how to speak as a political official since I was a child to correct my incorrect behaviors, but that didn't stop me from pursuing strength.
However, after that incident, I realized that I had reached the limits of my abilities. I returned to the correct path as my mother wished, but that incident had planted a seed in my heart... It was just waiting for the right time to sprout and grow.
Are you curious about that incident I mentioned? It's getting late today, so maybe I'll tell you next time.
Let's chat about the incident that changed my life.
I was still at school and was very confident in my abilities at that time. A powerful Eclipsite appeared in Lower Lumopolis, and I was so confident in myself that I went to fight against it. Although I had ascended to gain the ability to control thunder and lightning, the disparity in our strengths was too great. I was defeated and seriously injured before being rescued by others... Just when I believed I had recognized my failure and decided to follow my family tradition and accept the speech training, a note drifted into my room in the dead of night. It turned out that the so-called incident involving the powerful Eclipsite in Lower Lumopolis was part of my family's conspiracy to seize power... I couldn't accept such despicable tactics that endangered the lives of innocent people.
I distanced myself from my family after that and joined the Lumopolis army. Whenever I fought with the Eclipsites, I would remember the note I received that night and the truth I overheard outside the door that day... As I lost control of my emotions, my ability also went berserk in the torrential rain—my life was changed entirely since then.
I don't hate anyone—I just hate myself for being weak and being part of the Troy family.
That being said, that incident was also a turning point in my destiny.
There was a time when I was called Roshee, but that no longer matters.
My ability went completely berserk after that torrential rain. My Lightning Power had far exceeded the limits of my body. My arms, shoulders, legs, and even my body were all eroded by lightning and left in shreds. My parents also gave up on me at that time. Otto of the Elder Council, who was also my uncle, picked up my broken limbs and took Raphael's advice to send me to the Illumina for treatment regardless of risking his life. As a result, I found rebirth in my death... Now that I think about it, that was also a turning point in my destiny.
The feeling I got from my uncle at that time was familial affection, which was the first and the last time in my life. Although I was grateful to him, it was impossible for me to return to the Troy family. I couldn't accept a life full of trickery and deceit, so I chose to leave.
Roshee no longer exists, and I am no longer related to the Troy family. From now on, I will struggle, survive, and fight like Michael... My life belongs only to me now.
Are you busy, Navigator?
Hello, are you the Navigator of the Colossus?
Navigator, can I ask you something?
Good morning.
Thunder... Did you hear that?
Good morning. Your Colossus is really something, you know?
The sun's up.
Navigator...
Navigator...
Good morning, yawn—
It's late... You need to rest.
Planning on going to bed soon?
It's late... Do you ever have insomnia?
It's getting late.
You've missed bedtime.
Heheheh...
Navigator.
Through sheer luck, you give a Daybreak Crystal to Michael and touch her girlish heart.
It is Mooncrown Day again. In the name of safeguarding the pure emotions of Astra's lovers, a flash of lightning shuttles through the streets...
I will stay true to my path. My loyalty to Lumopolis stems from this.
I am grateful for Raphael's treatment and to Illumina's help... along the course of my reborn.
White Night up high.
Give me the command and I'll annihilate them all.
She didn't seem to hear me, but her incorporeal flames did dissipate at that time.
She is someone from Illumina who seeks power. This feeling is... familiar—maybe that's the word I'm looking for to describe it.
If I like something, it means I find it interesting.
I've already bid farewell to everything I despise. I'll never look back.
Navigator, the Colossus is gigantic, so don't just park it wherever you want.
There aren't many opportunities for one to reunite with former comrades or to become teammates again.
Supervision, rectification, error correction, and execution. When do I start working?
Is this body... not powerful enough?
A victory befitting of my destructive power.
My thunder and lightning are ready.
To you who shares a bond with me, Happy New Year.
I'll end things quickly.
I don't have to mind about the nonessentials.
My Lightning has further awakened.
Tremble before Michael!
Should I help this guy cheer up... Oh, sorry, I forgot that you can hear me.
Something is different about me.
Alchemy Stars.
Hear the calling of my heart? It is inevitable. I will cherish this bond.
The lightning and thunder scared off many and people refuse to listen to the words from behind my mask, but you are different, Navigator.
...You don't need to worry about my loyalty. Even if I have betrayed many people in the past, if Carleen has decided to trust you, then naturally, I won't have any disloyal thoughts.
I remembered something in the past, but they aren't stories as Michael. It's also not a good time to chat now.
The thunder roared even louder, reverberating through my head and body. However, my road ahead is clearer than ever and I won't hesitate anymore like before.
I will use my power to maintain order and change the world with rules—this is the case now and in the future. I am grateful that you have accompanied me down this path till now. Thank you.
I understand that it isn't easy to build bonds with someone who can't speak. I will cherish it.
Thank you for persevering, Navigator. Please forgive me if the voice of my heart wavers from time to time as this is simply due to the revival of some memories from the past.
I am eager for more interaction, but I might not be able to achieve that in my current state... I am already very fortunate that you can listen to my mute words, so I should not ask for more.
Only those who share the same fate as me can hear this voice.
Hmm? I was just meditating and didn't see you. Sorry.
Aren't you afraid of getting close to me? ...Or are you like Raphael and aren't afraid of electric shocks?
Good day, Navigator. Any new commands?
Good morning, I did everything you instructed me to do while you were asleep. Awaiting your new orders?
Navigator, don't worry as I'm on standby and am ready for your instructions whenever.
Good evening, and don't worry, because I'm always on standby for your commands... I remember I should say good night.
I'm Michael, the ruler of silent thunder and lightning. Whether you heard me or not, that's the end of my self-introduction. It's time to get to work.
Guide me.
I've always been different from the other members of my family since I was young. You may have heard of the Troy Family before, which is a symbol of tactics and mouthpiece... That's why I have always been out of place.
I ascended and gained my powers on a rainy day—no, to be precise, it happened after I was tricked and betrayed. I don't hate him though; just disappointed in my own weakness.
In the end, I was reborn through my death. Many helped me, and I have repaid them with my actions. But bonds that have been lost can never be regained, and I can only continue along my own path...
Can anyone keep up with me?
She is a horror among the lovers of Lumopolis—Each Mooncrown Day, there will be a knight in white patrolling all corners of the city, looking for those in love. As soon as she finds one, she will immediately issue a "Ban on Falling in Love." Therefore, she is known as the "lightning strike that breaks love," which terrifies lovers.
Detonator (S)
Teleporter (C)
S+
(SS at MBT)
+% HP Damage on basically everything in a form that bosses are not immune to
+Teleport on a DPS slot (one of two high rarity teleports in Thunder)
+Excellent Chain Combo
-Teleport targeting for damage is quite awkward
-A little less powerful in Codex, where % HP isn't a thing.
Michael is the kind of unit whose power can not be properly appreciated until later in the game. In easy content, Michael's %HP damage and non preemptive active both seem rather... fair when compared to other units and the raw numbers they output.
However, due to how exponentially defensive Spire/Elysium scales and how valuable % HP damage is, Michael has some of the highest scaling against the hardest enemies in the game. And considering that Thunder lacks DoT mechanics AND high rarity teleports AND Michael has a relatively good chain combo setup for boss-killing? Yeah, Michael is basically the complete package.
All that said, the game has slowly crept enough that she's no longer best-in-slot at BT0. Both BT3 Florine and BT3 Rein have much higher overall DPR, and they both have better offensive utility than an occasionally clunky Teleport. For this reason, Michael is probably the first former SS-tier unit we've downshifted due to power creep. However, MBT still provides enough damage and utility that she remains in SS-Tier, albeit still weaker than Reinhardt overall.
