Sister Michael

**Sister George Michael** is a nun and the headmistress at Our Lady Immaculate College in Derry, Northern Ireland.

## History

Sister Michael grew up in Cork and became a nun. She has joked that one of the reasons she became one was for free accommodation. Her Aunt Moira lived in Donegal.

## Personality

Sister Michael is very sarcastic and apathetic towards her job as evident in her interaction with the student body and faculty. She shows traditional Catholic values as most nuns however is rather realistic for a nun (i.e. When Aisling said to pray for their editor and she responded with what use will that do). She also does judo every week, and appears to be a black belt. She prays the Rosary when she wants Ireland to win football games. She seems to be able to understand Irish, but is never seen speaking the language.

**Sister Michael:** The hospice want to release the body, but the house is a tip. The woman was a desperate hoarder. I doubt we'd fit the coffin in. Once you pass the border, it's pretty straightforward, but if you hit Gortahork, you've gone too far. I need it done by tomorrow.
**Erin:** Are you asking us to go to Donegal and clean your dead aunt's house?
**Sister Michael:** I'd do it myself, but... I don't want to.
