Anything else we should know? The song is Hard To Live In the City by Alfred Hammond Jr.
In-Game Backstory: Mikaela was born and raised in Mission City. As soon as she could walk, she was tinkering with cars - learning things about them. She inherited a natural talent from her father, and from an early age was helping him repair stolen cars, and even helping steal them herself. When she was 16, he went to jail for grand theft auto, and she was left at home with her mom. With that kind of early juvenile record, and more paper arrests and one-nighters at the station than she cared to count, she had learned what to keep from her friends at school and what not to. This led her to realizing that she should keep her savvy for cars secret and just stick to playing the airhead, bitchy It Girl. Which she played well. She dated the hot, muscled jocks for a while there.
Then, in her senior year, when she'd had it with her latest boyfriend Trent, she met Sam Witwicky. Who had the coolest effing car she had ever seen in her life, which turned out to be a giant robot. In the short time after meeting Sam, she learned a lot about herself and about him. It wasn't about who had the biggest biceps anymore, it was about understanding each other. They started dating. After Megatron had been defeated and dropped in the middle of the ocean to become coral, life settled into some semblance of normality. Sam was getting ready for college, Mikaela started up a mechanics shop with her newly-parolled father, and she set to trying to convince Sam to tell her he loved her. First. Before she had to. Then RotF happens.
Anyway, ideally, I'll be taking her from in between TF2007 and Revenge of the Fallen. She moved to New York to be closer to Sam while he was in college, and started working at a mechanic shop in Brooklyn, getting an apartment on her own.

Third Person Sample: Exempt
Questions;
Set I.
Who or what, if anything, would you die for?
Wow, you guys are, like, really straight to the point, huh? All right. Well, I mean, probably my dad and Sam, they're the people who mean the most to me.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Omg, you know those commercials for the cake stuff that you just, like, microwave and put the caramel sauce on and eat? They're so good, but they go straight to your butt.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
You know what would be super cool? Being able to make, like, electromagnetic pulses to stop whatever electronics and stuff were in the area. Seriously, just think about what you could do with that! You'd be totally unbeatable. It's a little creepy, actually.
Which would you rather give up: television or books?
I dunno, I don't really read that much and I'm kind of a junkie for 90210... So, probably books. Does that include, like, car manuals though? 'Cause you kind of need those.
If you could commit any felony with impunity, which would it be?
Wow if you'd asked me, like, a couple years ago, I would've totally said grand theft auto, but 'Bee is a way nicer car than any of the ones I jacked, so I can't really think of anything.
If you were on the Titanic and there was only room for one person on your lifeboat, would you save your mother or your best friend?
I know you'll probably think like way less of me for this, but I'd save my best friend for sure. My mom was hella bitchy.
Would you sleep with your boss to keep from losing your high-end job?
No way, that's sick. You might as well, like, do it for money, you know? It's the same thing.
Set II.
Describe your first kiss.
Believe it or not, it was pretty disappointing. I was in like seventh grade and this guy decided to pick wildflowers - they were more like weeds, really - and tell me he was in love with me. He tried to plant one on me and he headbutted me the first time, then he like gave it another shot and ran. I felt dizzy the whole next class and my teacher kept yelling at me for it, it was totally stupid.
Describe the most difficult experience you have ever had to deal with.
Man, I hate questions like these 'cuz I always feel like I'm complaining. My dad taught me how to fix cars like I do, except the ones we worked on weren't always his. He was in prison for GTA up until, like, a couple months ago. It was tough being, like, alone and stuff, but I was all right - the last time he went in was when I was, like, 16, anyway.
Describe a situation in which you took charge.
Probably when all that crap was going down in Mission City and I had to get Lennox to help me hook 'Bee up to the tow truck and drag him around to shoot down the decepticons.
