Personality
Michael is best known for his hatred of his younger sister Tara. He hated it when she got him in trouble and he hated it when his parents blamed him for something that was her fault. And this unfortunately gave him a complicated relationship with his mother, as she was so unfair to him by saying that he is always making things up, telling fibs and impossible stories and that his father was encouraging his "imagination" too much, even though Michael doesn't have an imagination. He is also sick of the no-meat, low-fat meals that she constantly makes for dinner.

Michael is also close to his friends and has a crush on Mona as there is something sort of cool about her that he really liked. He began to have second thoughts about her during going in time at nursery school when he saw what she used to be like. But after Cecilia told him that Mona had a crush on him, he began to reconsider his crush. Michael also likes to have some privacy and really works out in sports.
