Michael (Goth)

Little is known about Michael's childhood. However, what we do know is that Michael's parents may be divorced and that he was bullied for his physical features in the past. We also know he's attracted to women, judging by the fact that he's attracted to Sophie Gray in "Basic Cable". He became goth because he felt tortured and lost, and though many of the other kids are dismissive of his misery, Michael and the other Goth Kids do seem like complete outcasts even without the Victorian clothing and eyeliner.

Due to the fact that he never appears during fourth grade specific activities, it's assumed that he, along with Henrietta and Pete, are fifth graders.

In "Raisins", Kyle Broflovski tells Stan Marsh during his bout of depression that he "might as well hang out with those goth kids who dress in black and talk about pain all the time." Frustrated and curious, Stan finds them behind the school and meets them. Upon seeing him for the first time, Michael tells Stan, "Who needs that Ken and Barbie love anyways? Everyone's just walking around like a bunch of conformists. Go ahead and wear your business suits so you can make thirty-four thousand dollars a year to buy your condominium. They're all zombies racing to their graves. Love didn't work for my mom and dad. Why should it work for me?"

Michael walks with a brown stiff cane, with the fact he is an Edwardian Goth; however, sometimes he is seen walking without it, even once giving it to Stan in "Raisins" and tossing it aside while running in "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers". He is taller than the other kids and has curly black hair parted on the right. He has a large nose that is visible along with his ears, unlike most children in South Park and has black eyeliner under his eyes. He wears a long black jacket with a white dress shirt underneath, black pants, and tall black boots. He also has a gold cross earring hanging on his left ear.

Michael is emotionless and edgy, he doesn't believe in love and thinks it's a waste of time. He is VERY overprotective and possessive to the ones he loves. He will not hesitate to show who his partner belongs to in public.
