Miranda

Miranda is a member of the Great Council during the early Age of Armageddon.

Description
A driven and idealistic woman, Miranda was impassioned about the role of women in modern Britannian society - desiring a greater political voice for her gender and hoping to eliminate the portrayal of women as sexualized objects. At the time of the Avatar's adventures in, Miranda was one of three women on the Great Council, and wished there to be more women in public office.

Should the hero talk to her at length, Miranda would further reveal that she and the Gargish councilor Inwisloklem were in the process of drafting legislation which would make it a punishable offense to dispose of waste in Lock Lake - which had become severely polluted due to runoff from the Britannian Mining Company in Minoc. Should the Avatar claim to be headed in the direction of Cove, she would charge the champion with bringing the finished Bill of Punative [sic] Action for the Distribution of Waste Products in Lock Lake to Lord Heather to get his signature - such as that the law might be completed.

A year later, when Castle Britannia was trapped within the Guardian's blackrock dome during the feast of the Reconstruction, Miranda was among those imprisoned. At Lord British's behest, she took on the role of coordinator for the castle's efforts to weather the calamity - giving the Avatar pertinent information as to what was happening and which lines of magical power the hero had managed to sever while touring of the worlds of the Blackrock Jewel.

In addition to her political work, Miranda was also mother to a young boy named Max and wife to the Royal Theatre's playwright-in-residence, Raymundo. It is unknown what impact Miranda's imprisonment had on the young family, but it can be assumed that it was a trying time for her spouse and child.

Lore




Trivia

 * In, Miranda's portrait is based upon Randi Benson, wife of the game's lead writer, Raymond Benson, who in turn gives his visage to Miranda's husband, Raymundo. The couple's son appears accordingly as the characters' child Max.
 * In, if Max is present while speaking with Miranda regarding him, the child will say hello, and claim to be a "funny boy."
 * In the  Key to the Black Gate, Miranda provides Anton with information about the city of Britain, and her description of the area is a part of the work which the scholar compiles on behalf of the Avatar. In her ramblings about the area she makes mention of the fact that she cannot sew, causing her husband to rely on Gaye as a costumer.
 * In the SNES Port of, it is Inwisloklem, rather than Miranda, who will ask the Avatar to carry the anti-dumping bill to Lord Heather.
