Miranda Breyers (The Psycho She Met Online)

Miranda Breyers (Charity Shea) was the main villainess from the 2017 Lifetime film, The Psycho She Met Online (alternately titled The Guest She Found Online; airdate April 9, 2017).
== Backstory ==
Miranda’s backstory revealed that she is the half-sister of main protagonist Karen Hexley; the product of a tryst between Karen’s mother, Nancy Holliston, and Miranda’s unseen father. After Nancy ended the relationship and met Karen’s father, Miranda spent years searching for her birth mother. She called Nancy, who told her that she was vacationing in Mexico and couldn’t meet her. Despite this, Miranda traveled to Mexico and met Nancy in person anyway, who was revealed to be suffering from cancer.
The meeting between Miranda and Nancy turned violent when the former demanded answers from the latter. When Nancy stated that she wanted to tell Karen about her first before telling her anything, Miranda (enraged at what she saw as her mother caring more for Karen than her) strangled Nancy to death, and after the murder, she staged the scene of the crime to make it appear that she committed suicide, which Karen believed to be true. Miranda later took a photo of Karen with her husband, Andrew, from the late Nancy’s wallet, and then began her obsessive pursuit for her half-sister.
== Events ==
Months after perpetrating matricide, Miranda (who worked as a nightclub dancer) was finally able to find Karen when news of Andrew’s car accident was posted online. She then manipulated her way into moving in with Karen; staying at her guesthouse while using her laptop to drive away potential roommates. Miranda's crazed personality began to appear when she antagonized Karen’s best friend, Aubrey, while the trio dined together. She resorted to murder again when she believed that Evander Swanson, a reviewer, was getting close to her secret. Miranda grabbed a rock and bludgeoned Evander to death, and later in the film, she began falling for Tyler, Andrew’s brother.
Miranda engaged in a verbal confrontation with Aubrey after the latter found out about the former’s true workplace. When word got out to Karen, she confronted Miranda and threatened to kick her out, which led to Miranda revealing that she and Karen are half-sisters (without revealing the entire truth). Miranda’s attempt to use Karen’s information to move into a new place was the last straw, and Karen cut ties with her completely. After a detective visited Karen and Andrew regarding Evander's disappearance, the protagonists began to learn Miranda’s true personality.
Miranda had prevented Andrew from calling Tyler, but he managed to get through a second time to warn him about her. The twisted villainess overheard the conversation and knocked Tyler out with a wine bottle before heading back to Karen’s house. Miranda grabbed a knife and stabbed Andrew (non-fatally) before attacking Karen, who learned that her evil half-sister killed their mother. In a rage, Miranda confessed everything to Karen, stating that while she didn’t blame Karen for her terrible life, she felt that their mother considered Karen over her, and also revealed that she was planning to take everything away from her. Just as Miranda prepared to kill Karen, her scheme ended up falling apart when Officer Friedman entered the home and ordered Miranda to drop the knife. When an enraged Miranda refused and made a move towards the officer, Friedman immediately fired two bullets and killed the psychotic villainess, saving Karen and Andrew's lives in the process.
== Quotes ==
* “It’s not about him, Karen. It’s about you! We’re blood! You should have stuck up for your sister.” (Miranda to Karen after she found Andrew bleeding due to the former stabbing him)
* “I wanted you to be different, but you ended up just like Mom!” (Miranda to Karen after she forcibly bashed her head against the wall in a rage)
* “No, no, no. No. You need to hear this, Karen. You need to hear what kind of person Mommy was! Hmm? (Karen: “You killed her!”) No; she made me! She made me kill her because I wrote her a letter when I finally found her... and I told her that I forgave her for giving me up, even though I had a horrible life because of it. And I told her that I just wanted to meet her. That’s all I wanted, Karen. That’s all I wanted. I just wanted to meet her... and she called me. She called me and said that she had cancer, and that she was going down to Mexico, but that she would see me when she got back. And I said okay; I said okay... but then I couldn’t. I couldn’t because I had waited 27 years. 27 years... so I decided to go down to Mexico, and I was gonna surprise her... and I walked all around until I found her. And I followed her to her hotel room, and when I told her who I was... I thought that she would be happy to see me. You know? I mean, the effort that I went through to find her, but she wasn’t! She was mad that I came to see her when she told me not to, and you know what, Karen? She wouldn’t answer any of my questions! I asked her who my father was, if I had siblings—things that I have a right to know, and she wouldn’t answer my questions! I waited my whole life. I waited my whole life for those answers. She wouldn’t tell me. (Karen: “Why?”) BECAUSE! Because she wanted to wait until you first. She chose you over me... and I was so angry. Karen, I was so mad; I was so angry, it just, you know? It just happened. That photo was the only thing I had to go on. It took me months to find you... but then, Andrew’s accident, and your picture, and your ... I finally found you. It was like the universe had sacrificed Andrew so that I could find you. And then, I saw you were on Vacay N’ Stay, and that was my perfect way in.” (Miranda’s villainous rant to Karen)
* “YOUR MOTHER! Your mother! She’s not my mother! She never wanted to BE my mother!” (Miranda’s response to Karen reminding her of Nancy having been their shared biological mother)
* “See, I don’t blame you for our mother’s choices, Karen, but you did the same thing. You did the same thing. You shut me out! You don’t do that to family! You don’t do that to family. Now you’re gonna know what it’s like to lose everything you care about. Who should I kill first?” (Miranda as she begins to decide whether to finish off the injured Andrew or kill Karen)
* “You should just embrace me, Karen. Nobody’s here.” (Miranda to Karen before trying to stab her to death; also her last words before getting shot to death by Officer Friedman)
