Michaela "Mikey" Taylor

Michaela "Mikey" Taylor is a side character in Aron, Not Aphrodite. She is the close older sister of Aaron Taylor.

She is described as having the same ocean eyes as her brother, but instead of having his brown hair hers is dirty blonde. Mikey's nickname came from a time when she was about eight and screamed at the top of her lungs that "the name Michaela was for sissies and Mikey sounded so much damn cooler."

Mikey is rebellious and a tomboy, which is seen when she is mentioned throughout the novel. She has a diamond piercing in the side of her nose, which is crooked from the time Aaron broke it after she called him 'Swift'. Mikey is the one who introduced Aaron to Taylor Swift's music, and she loves "sports and reading books and listening to music. Also she [Mikey] doesn't have any more fucks to give."

Mikey has a terse relationship with her uptight, old-fashioned parents-- she's lesbian and "free as a bird, a modern woman through and through."

Mikey is twenty-one and in college, and is engaged to a girl named Finley.
