## Early History

Miranda was born in 1972. She apparently knew about the existence of vampires from a relatively young age, as she had a younger sister named Jenna, to whom she would read bedtime stories about vampires.

Miranda attended Mystic Falls High School and was in the same year as Elizabeth Forbes and Kelly Donovan. She was best friends with the former, and Kelly often babysat and, later, partied with, Jenna. She also knew John Gilbert when she was young. She was friends with Abby Bennett Wilson too, who mentioned her to be sweet.

Presumably at the age of seventeen, Miranda won the Founder's Pageant and was crowned Miss Mystic Falls. It was noted that she was *"really into"* Founder's Day.

Miranda married Grayson Gilbert, whose brother John Gilbert had a sexual relationship with Isobel Flemming. Grayson and Miranda had wanted a child for a long time, but had been unsuccessful, so when farther Kieran talked with John he said that his brother and wife would take them and rise the twins. A few years afterwards, they had a son named Jeremy. Miranda bought Elena and Alex their first diary, and wanted them to compete for Miss Mystic as she did.

On May 23, 2009, Alex went to a party instead of family night and dragged Elena with her. After the twins were stranded due to a fight with Alex's boyfriend at the time, Matt Donovan, Miranda and Grayson had to go and pick them up. After they did, the car, for whatever reason, ran off the road on Wickery Bridge and into the lake. Stefan Salvatore attempted to save the four of them, but Grayson, the only one still conscious, made Stefan save Elena and Alex first. By the time Stefan went back for Miranda and Grayson, they had both drowned. Miranda and Grayson were buried together in the Mystic Falls Cemetery, with a caption reading "*Loving parents*." Jenna went back to Mystic Falls in order to raise Elena, Alex, and Jeremy. Miranda and Grayson had told her before not to tell Elena and Alex that they were adopted.
