—Encounter Michidia

Michidia is first met by the Hero and Pirika in the Vice Capital tavern, after the Fortune Teller's reading. She is already acquainted with the concept of the Volunteer Army, and seems excited to meet them. She asks to join them, immediately forfeiting her position in the Ranger's Guild to join the ragtag group in the fight for peace across Yggdra.

As the story goes on, and time passes, Michidia reveals insecurities in her abilities to the Hero - such insecurities that make her question her worth, standing, and capability of still being apart of the Volunteer Army. The issue is resolved, however, when through battle it is demonstrated to her how she's an important piece in a group of differently-skilled people who fight most strongly together.

—Encounter Michidia

Michidia is true to her in-game bio — she's responsible and serious about what she sets her mind on. She sometimes takes charge and brings order to the group if they've gone astray and rowdy, such as how she dealt with Kain and Tubalao in Tubalao's first character story.

However, like Kain, she also possesses a certain amount of self-doubt that rivals her modest confidence in her abilities as an archer. In her first character story (for 1\* Michidia that is), she asks the Hero if she can practice with him, and experiences the same feelings of helplessness and worthlessness to the Volunteer Army that Kain goes through in his first character story. Even the wording of her introduction to the Hero — "I'm a better shot than I look" — is a self-acknowledgment of self-perceived flaws or insecurities which she appears to believe are visible just by looking at her.

When she's not being reliable and serious, or doubtful of herself, Michidia *does* like to let loose. She is the first Volunteer Army member to step up and "perform" on the streets in order to raise money for the New Year, by shooting an apple off of the Hero's head, without hesitation.
