== Personality ==
Miranda is incredibly headstrong and courageous. She is not a fan of people telling her what she can and can’t do and will often go out of her way to prove them wrong. She is incredibly kind, with a heart that no doubt mirrors her mother. While mostly sweet,  Miranda can get a bit of a temper at times. She’s inherited her father’s sarcasm, quick-wit and snark; she's been described as the female version of Damon. Miranda tends to push people’s boundaries without even realizing it.
== Physical Appearance ==
: "Funny, she's all her mother but those eyes — that's all me."
: — Damon about Miranda
Miranda is describe as looking very sweet and innocent. She resembles her mother most, sharing Louise's soft, gentle features, oval shaped face and long, dark brown hair. However, she possesses the piercing blue eyes of her father, Damon. She is quite fair in skin tone, though this generally changes when she spends more time outside—  she’s known to get a bit more colour. Miranda has a very baby-like type look to her features which often makes her more delicate than she really is. 
When at school, Miranda tends to stray away from the school uniform as much as she could. She wears relaxed yet edgy clothing; lots of leather jackets and jeans. She is always seen wearing Vivienne Pierce's cameo necklace, which Miranda claims she found in the Salvatore School archive down in the basement; this is much to her parents displeasure.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Miranda is a seer, having inherited this gene from her mother. The power of premonition manifested itself through her mother while still in the womb, granting Louise a vision of the future. She triggers this power when she touches or is in the presence of something that is related to the subject of her premonitions, making them a form of psychometry. This originally only encompassed precognition, to see the future, but grew to include retrocognition; to see the past, as well. Just like her mother, this power was initially uncontrollable, but with training she learns to summon premonitions at will.
Being the daughter of two cured vampires; her blood is the cure. If every bit of her blood is drank by a person affected by Qetsiyah or Esther's version of the Immortality Spell; which are original vampires, non-original vampires, augustine vampires, true immortals, and vampire hybrids; the the recipient will become the cure and effectively human.
She possesses fighting abilities to defend herself against vampires as she trained under Damon. She knows how to stake vampires and also the traits of a vampire hunter.
