Mike

Michael Seoung is a fictional character in the Regents Walk comic series. He is of Korean descent. The middle child of a family of three boys, he feels overshadowed. The fact that he is also often mistaken for a girl doesn't help his self-confidence. He is one of the twelve Shadows, so his tale will be part of the Stories written series.
