"The king of death sits on his throne, made of screams and skulls; in his hand: the heart of man and, something, something, something..."

―Inner Monologue

Michaela is a "weird" goth girl who kept visiting the Cafe where Hal and Tom work. She showed Hal one of her "ideas" (a skull goblet) and tried to befriend him and Tom, but they only walked away. During another visit to the cafe Hal and Tom, as a contest, tried to "chat her up", but she rudely dismissed them.

On her last visit to the cafe, Michaela tried to pay for her cheeseburger with one of her poems. When Hal threatened to call the police if she refused to pay in money, she tossed the coins onto the counter and at Hal. Tom dismissed her with "You are not a very nice young lady."

She was texting in the toilets when the vampires attacked the cafe, and ended up getting caught in the middle of Hal and Tom's fight with Fergus. They brought her home where she met Regus. Moments later Fergus attacked and held her hostage. When Hal pretended to side with Fergus, Fergus slit her throat. When she was dying later on, Regus recruited her (partly because he was lonely) and they later left to travel the world together. Hal then made the comparison between them and Ivan and Daisy. 

Michaela and Regus are believed to be responsible for the "Poetry  Killings" associated with the Brennan School for Girls in South London. They have attacked fifteen teachers and former pupils, killing one of them.  Each of the victims was known personally to Michaela, and she and Regus are now thought to be targeting the editors and publishers of poetry journals in the area.(Leaked Rook emails)
