History

At eighteen years old, Michette Duclos was married to an upper-class man she hated, Roger, who also happened to be the net.hero called the Gendarme. She was having an affair with a man called Lance, who turned out to be the serial killer L'Morte, who her husband had been investigating. Roger came almost too late to save her and died at the killer's hands. The experience scarred Michette, leaving her more emotionally distant than she'd already been. She now understood the driving purpose which had led her husband to his death.

By this point she had already gained her mystic lunchbox and assumed the identity of Lunchbox Lass. At twenty, Michette went to Ame.rec.a to join the LNH. She was part of the group of LNHers who went to bring in Bryce Banner, AKA Kid Quickly-Irritated-By-Others, on the run after his dystopian future robotic companion Renee had been framed for murder, but he escaped and took her hostage. Over time, she began to open up to him a little bit. They figured out the villain behind this was his old enemy Baby Pain AKA Doctor Willy, and successfully defeated her and cleared everyone's name, only to be teleported into outer space! Because it was that kind of series.

They ended up on the planet of the Bhigghrehenghuyhs. Here Bryce expressed his attraction to her, but she wasn't ready to consider it, as she was still grieving for her husband. They went on a quest to the Tower of Song and, finding herself in the dungeon, she began to express doubts about her purpose and mission for the first time. She kissed Bryce when they were, uh, about to be flushed down a giant space toilet by the Shi'tar Empire. Shortly after she died, then was resurrected as a bargaining chip by Doctor Willy, then realized she was in love with Bryce... And then found that Bryce had gone into a time distortion and married another woman, and they'd returned to the present with a son.

After the wedding, Michette fell into despair, convinced she'd never get a chance to love anyone.

But she had already grown close to her fellow LNHer Groundswell, AKA Lilly Paschall.

Not long after the invasion, she was attacked by the Terrible Ones, demons who the Lunchbox had been created to seal away. With the help of Lilly and a group of other new-ish net.heroes, she barely survived.

Personality

Appears cold and formal, even callous, but inwardly more caring. Has a wicked sense of humor that comes through sometimes. Projects confidence she doesn't always feel. For a long time was consumed by grief over her husband's death. Pushes people away for fear they'll get hurt, and believed for a long time that she was incapable of love.

Michette possesses a mystic lunchbox which can create any kind of sandwich she wants. It glows with supernatural light when opened. Creating a large number of sandwiches puts a potentially life-threatening strain on her. Has fighting skills she learned from her late husband.

Appearance

Slim brunette with wide hazel eyes.

Has a noticeable French accent but does not speak in stereotypical French Claremontisms, thank you very much.

Relationships

Had a husband, now dead.

Among her few friends is Kid Quickly-Irritated-By-Others, who she was kind of attracted to but wasn't ready to approach because she was still grieving for her husband. She realized her love for him only when it was too late.
