i've seen a lot of posts around (on twitter too) about how michelle's trained cards would be "better" if they were just misaki and i... disagree. for a few reasons
you know, you're right, craft egg could've gone the easy route, and made misaki be the pretty one in costumes every time she had a card, but they didn't. not even in the 2-stars. they're always michelle. and i think that not only shows they're not backing down with the amount of skill it takes to draw an entire outfit over a fursuit, but that michelle is a really important part of misaki's personality, you know? completely separate from the jokes, misaki acknowledges that being michelle is just part of who she is.
it's not that misaki /deserves/ a trained card, it's more like she doesn't /need/ one.
just imo tho ^w^
