Mira

This article is incomplete. You can help Crypt TV Wiki by expanding it.

**Mira**, also known as "Mira Mira", is the titular character and antagonist of the third episode of *Crypt Fables.* She is a monstrous demon who resides in an alternate mirror realm who comes after those who are truly "ugly on the inside".

On January 5th, 2021, it was announced on SyFy Wire that Mira would be starring in her own ten-episode Facebook Watch series.

She is portrayed by Joy Goodman.

## Physical Appearance

Because she is a mirror demon, Mira will take the form of whomever is looking through her mirror so as to mimic their reflection. In the original short film, Mira takes on the form of the short's protagonist, Sandra. However, her dirty blonde hair is oily and messy, and her clothes are tattered and covered in bloodstains. Her face is the most off-putting thing about her, as it has four long scars coming down the top, left, bottom and right sides of her face and meeting at her lips. Her eyes are vacant, and the entirety of them are milky white. She carries a razorblade.

When Mira splits her face open, she has a bloody face with a mandible-like mouth. Her eyes are exposed and they are cyan.

## Characteristics

Mira seems to target those who are truly vain or are “ugly on the inside” and at times seems indiscriminate about who she kills, such as when she kills Jared. However, the animated creepypasta shorts show a softer side to her, as someone who feels sympathy for others seen as freaks, such as the narrator and Patty. “New Blood” shows her comforting the original narrator in his dying moments, showing that she genuinely cared about him.

## Background

Some before the 1960's, Mira was exposed to a Torment Fragment and was changed into the monster she is today.

## Crypt Fables (2015-2018)

### Mira Mira

Mira targets the hotel's newest occupant, a woman named Sandra, who was very self-absorbed and always on her phone. When Sandra admires herself in the room's mirror, Mira causes cracks to appear in her reflection and pulled her through the mirror when she got closer. When Sandra woke up, she found herself trapped inside the mirror while Mira was back in the hotel room. When Sandra asked for the creature's name, Mira answered her and looked up at Sandra, startling her. When Jared called out for Sandra and began coming down the stairs, Mira covered herself with a blanket, responding to Sandra's pleas not to hurt Jared by simply motioning for her to be quiet.

When Jared entered the room and tried to turn "Sandra" around, Mira suddenly stood and turned to Jared, grabbing him and morphing into her true form as a man-eating creature. Mira then sank her countless teeth into Jared's neck, killing him as Sandra helplessly watched from within the mirror. Mira then turned back to the mirror for a brief moment before walking away, leaving Sandra trapped inside the mirror realm.

## Crypt Monster Universe

### *Camp Monster* (2019)

In the 1960's, Daniel takes his brother Lawrence, who has just transformed into a monster upon being cut with a Torment Fragment, to find their counselor so they can get him help. Their counselor screams and runs away, dropping some papers in the process. Daniel picks up the papers to find they contain information on the fragments. One of these pages (the one featured most prominently in fact) has a diagram of Mira as a human, changing into her monstrous form after coming into contact with a Torment Fragment. If this information is to be trusted, then Mira used to be human, and has been living since at least the 1950's, given her age in the drawings.

## Crypt Extended Universe

### Mira: The Girl in the Mirror feat. MrBlacksAA

Mira reappears in the creepypasta short "The Girl in the Mirror", which centers around the ten-year-old narrator and his twelve-year-old cousin, Amanda. Amanda was spending the night with her younger cousin, with Amanda mocking him for the embarrassing birthmark on his face. But as Amanda continued to get ready for bed, the narrator suddenly saw Mira in the mirror she was brushing her hair in front of, with Amanda only noticing her after the boy witnessed her chew up a razor blade and hearing her whisper her name to the pair.

After revealing her monstrous form, Mira pulls Amanda into the mirror, leaving her to be held down by the mannequin ghouls while Mira comes out of the mirror and approaches Amanda's cousin. After touching his birthmark, Mira suddenly retreats back into the mirror and kills Amanda by sucking her blood and organs out of her body, motioning for the boy to be quiet and regurgitating Amanda's innards onto the mirror before disappearing. While the boy eventually came to believe (after extensive therapy) that what he'd seen was a delusion and that Amanda was actually kidnapped while he was sleeping, his fourteenth birthday had him receiving a new dresser with a mirror. It was then that the boy saw Mira again, now holding his cousin's skull in her hand with a candle on top of it.

### Mira: Eye of the Beholder feat. MrBlacksAA

In "Eye of the Beholder", the narrator was given another mirror for his bedroom for his fourteenth birthday, hoping it would allow him to recover from Amanda's "kidnapping". However, shortly after receiving the mirror, Mira briefly appeared to the boy again, holding Amanda's severed head. While his parents were out of town, Amanda's mother and the boy's aunt Sherry babysat for him, lambasting him for reading a horror book after bedtime and blaming him for Amanda's disappearance as she admired herself in the mirror, even referring to his birthmark as a "devil mark". At that, Mira re-appeared and emerged from the mirror, breaking Sherry's arms in an attempt to drag her into the mirror. It was then that Mira emerged from the mirror fully and killed Sherry by mutilating her with a razor blade, being stopped from dragging her corpse into the mirror by the boy's new dog Jess. Later on, though, after the boy's parents returned home and Sherry's body was found, Jess was put to sleep under the belief that he attacked and killed Sherry. Years later, the narrator (now an aging man) became secluded in a woodland cabin, keeping the vanity mirror covered as a way of keeping Mira at bay.

### Mira: New Blood

In "New Blood", disfigured teen "Pruneface" Patty takes refuge at the old narrator's cabin, being chased into the woods by vicious bullies Jake and Cece. After the pair broke into the cabin and Jake mortally stabbed the man, they prepared to mutilate Patty's face, only for the man to stop them by pulling the sheet from the mirror. At that, Mira emerged and devoured Jake and, after Cece broke the vanity, had her mirror minions reach out from the shards to rip Cece apart and drag her remains into their world. Afterwards, Mira, viewing the man as a kindred spirit, comforted him before the man died of his wounds, and additionally comforting Patty before disappearing into Cece's compact mirror.

### Rapunzel VS Mira VS SFC: Blood Reflection

Prior to the story, Rapunzel has finally figured out who lit the fire that scarred her -- Victoria, a member of both her sorority and the Sunny Family Cult. Taking a knife to kill Victoria, Rapunzel is knocked out. The story begins with her waking up, tied to a chair facing a large vanity mirror. She is confronted and taunted by Victoria and another cult member. Over the course of their taunting, Rapunzel notices Mira in the vanity mirror. The cult members eventually stop taunting Rapunzel as Mira makes her way out of the mirror. Certain that she is about to die, Rapunzel is instead freed from the chair by Mira, who attacks and kills the second cult member. Rapunzel, in turn, goes after Victoria, desperate to get her revenge before Mira can kill her as well. In the ensuing altercation, Victoria slices Rapunzel's hand off with a machete, but Rapunzel is able to stab Victoria to death before scalping her. Rapunzel looks back, noticing that Mira is back in the mirror with the other cult member's decapitated head before she disappears. Rapunzel goes back to the vanity mirror, placing Victoria's scalped hair on her head, commenting that it fits perfectly and is the first time since the fire that she has felt pretty.

### Stoneheart: Cemetery

Mira is summoned by the narrator to kill the leader of The Three, a trio of men infamous for getting drunk and harassing women in town. Mira slits the the leader's throat and leaves him to beled out.
