BIO;
At the age of 14 Micah lost both of her parents in tragic car accident, which she was minutes from being a part of. The blonde was dropped of at the airport by her parents, she was supposed to spend her summer with an unknown uncle, she’d never heard off, not knowing she’d get to spend the rest of her teenage years under his roof.
Micah transferred schools freshman year, starting over in a new town shouldn’t be that difficult, but fearing that she’d lose those she grew close to just like she’d lost her parents, she stayed away from the spotlight, and away from making friends. Her uncle gave her half a year to grieve, 6 months that revolved around thinking about death and how much easier life would be if she’d just been in the car with her parents. After 6 months of moping, her uncle paid a psychologist to help her cope with her loss, and slowly she got better. With only a few months of freshman year left, she started to open up to people and formed a small group of friends. One of them being Kat. Micah first met Hannah Baker at the party, and in her drunken state she told the brunette about her past. Something she hadn’t told anyone since she moved to town.
Oblivious to Hannah knowing about her past and oblivious to Hannah’s suicidal thoughts, Micah continued to life her life. Slowly gaining more popularity around school and expanding her circle of friends. The blonde was friendly towards Hannah in the hallways, not knowing about the demons Hannah was fighting on her own before it was too late. Like the rest of Liberty High Micah was shocked to hear about the suicide. And even more shocked when she by accident listened to the tapes and learned the 13 reasons why Hannah killed herself. Even though she’s never done anything to harm Hannah, she feels guilty for not standing up for her when the rumours started and most of all she feels guilty for not befriending the girl, when she needed at friend the most.
