Michelle was Fry's last girlfriend before he was frozen. She broke up with Fry when she met Charles Constantine. Once in 2000, Bender walked in on her and Charles mid-coitus while he was under the control of scamming aliens. Michelle was later married to Charles before she fell on hard times. She froze herself, with the intention to wake in 2266, to give herself a fresh start, but instead woke in 3001 (Lars Fillmore reset the timer) and briefly hooked up with Fry again. Michelle's dislike of the 31st century led her to persuade Fry to freeze himself with her another 1000 years, which led them to a wasteland (in reality they were still in 3001 and had simply moved to Los Angeles). The pair quickly grew impatient with each other, making their relationship sour again, and she hooked up with Pauly Shore. Fry once described her as "demanding and possessive".
