Mykae is the equivalent of a kid with no filter in step one. Talks to much sometimes, will openly express dislikes no matter what it is, blurting out comes to mind, and has gotten in trouble more times than she realizes due to her not having many friends growing up from always moving.
But she's bratty whenever she can't get what she wants and her friendliness doesn't come off well to people like Renee (in step one). Girly but likes exploring a lot in the city, thinks the forest was icky lmao. Can't remember things well.
Mykae in step 2 is way more self-aware of how people view her and is more passive-aggressive when expressing herself. More introverted now, due to stuttering and mumbling a lot when around classmates. She doesn't have a bad reputation, she just isnt really noticed in class. Mykae feels insecure about this but tries to hide it. Though her childish tendencies still reveal themselves, she's more considerate of others people's feelings.
However, Myake is much more sociable in step 2 around her friends, being able to speak more clearly (occasionally stuttering) and be more fun in general. She likes to look after the people she loves, and shes envious of qiu for being able to do everything she can't.
Also she probably has adhd but that's something I need to unwrap with myself first
