Miko Nakadai TF Battle Machine

Biography:
Born in the land of the rising sun, Japan, she's a rebellious girl with great charisma, a lover of rock and heavy metal; so much so that her way of dressing speaks for itself, and she likes to capture incredible moments with her cell phone camera. She likes getting into trouble. Not because she's a troublemaker, but because everyday life as a student is very boring. It's during one of those situations, when she stumbles upon a Lockdown raid to capture Drift, that the girl meets the Cybertronians. Her partner is Drift, who at the time was redefining his path after leaving the Decepticons. She has someone who, besides teaching her about Earth's ways, also has a friend who, despite her young age, finds her parents' advice inspiring.

Miko often sneaks onto the space bridges when Drift is with his fellow Autobots, having the privilege of meeting Sam, Carly, and the rest of the kids. His aspiration is to join the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to build his military career and at some point be able to join the NEST team and fight side by side with the Autobots.

Notes:
1. For the character design, I thought about giving her a different look, but without losing her characteristic features, like her big boots, her hair with those pink streaks, and showing that she's a bit of a rebel. XD
2. The adult version of the character is already in the Japan Self-Defense Forces; she still needs to qualify to join the NEST team.
3. For her adult version's outfit, I wanted to maintain the character's rocker look, but at the same time, reflect how feminine she can be without needing to wear a dress or something more in line with those standards.
4. I decided to change Bulkhead's role to Drift because I found it more interesting to see how two completely opposite poles get along (although, given Drift's past as Deadlock, we have a basis for why they get along).
5. In my story Miko lives in Japan.
