In Step 3, Miranda has her brown curly hair down, still having her dark purple eyes, tanned skin, and freckles. She wears a sleeveless shirt with grey flower like patterns and short jeans. While in "Hang" she wore colorful swimsuit that showed: Purple, Green, Yellow, and Blue scattered all around

## Personality

Upon her first possible appearance in the Step 2, Miranda is described to be sweet and quiet, albeit a bit awkward and reserved at first. She presents the same shy demeanor to people she meets for the first time, like Baxter. She becomes more talkative the more people spend time with her and becomes considerably cheerful with the people she is close with.

She has a tendency to try her best to help other people. This is first shown in "*Birthday*" when she tries to engage in a conversation with Cove and the main character in several occasions to help them get settled. It has also been mentioned in "*Talks*" which overwhelmed Terry to some degree and even backfired causing the two to get into an argument.

## Background

In Step 2, her first appearance, it was mentioned that the main character does not know much about her, other than having a class with her. She was described as the quiet, shy girl, who stayed in her own circle of friends.

## Relationships

### Terry

Terry is Miranda's best friend in Step 3 and boyfriend in Step 4.

### Cove

Cove is one of Miranda's close friends. If the player plays the expansion DLC, they originally knew each others from school but officially meet in her birthday party during the Step 2. Otherwise they'll become friends during the timeskip between Step 2 and Step 3.

### Main Character

The main character is one of Miranda's close friends.

### Baxter

Miranda meets Baxter in Step 3, but the two don't directly interact very much.

### Jude

Jude is Miranda's older brother who has already moved out of home and is not met during the story. He is implicated to be quite a private person when Miranda mentioned about how it took him, quote "forever", to tell his family he has a boyfriend. Due to the age-gap and the fact that Miranda doesn't know his boyfriend's real name, it is possible they aren't too close with each other. Regardless, she seems extremely happy about his new relationship.
