—Miranda, in a conversation with Leif
Miranda is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. She is the fourteen year old princess of Ulster.
Profile[]
Before Thracia 776[]
Miranda and Leif were first acquainted when the prince was taken under her father's wing for a period of time in Ulster, hiding him from the clutches of the Grannvale Empire. Leif was, however, forced to take flight when the Empire went to Ulster in search for him, leaving the country to be ravaged, resulting in the death of Miranda's father and her imprisonment in her own country.
When Leonster and Tarrah later began staging rebellions, Miranda was relocated to a remote Loptr Church in Melfiye Forest. Throughout the duration of her trying imprisonment, Miranda was used as a hostage to force the Ulster general Count Conomor and his powerful troops to fight for the Empire. All of this has a heavy impact in Miranda's psyche and heart, making her extremely bitter and conflicted regarding Leif's existence.
Thracia 776[]
Miranda first appears in Chapter 16B when Leif's army seizes the church she is held captive in while passing through Melfiye Forest. Her reunion with Leif is an unpleasant one, as she immediately expresses hatred towards him, blaming her country's fall on him. However, Dryas interjects by stating that the Empire would still have invaded Ulster even if Leif had never been there. He shifts the blame of Ulster's fall on Miranda's father, for he had refused to aid Leonster when it was invaded by both Thracia and the Empire. Leif stands up for Miranda at this point, chastising Dryas for going overboard before apologizing to her for not knowing about her dire circumstances. This calms her down enough for her to decide to join Leif's army, vowing to liberate Ulster and avenge her father.
After Leif successfully liberates his home Leonster in Chapter 18, Miranda emerges to remind him of their promise to liberate Ulster together, before revealing that its civilians are staging a rebellion that will almost certainly result in their massacre. Even though Dryas and August are adamant that Leif not challenge the Empire head-on by helping Ulster, the prince defies them and they are forced to relent. Dryas then takes half of the troops and depart for Ulster first.
Leif leads the remainder of the troops and sets out for Ulster the next day in Chapter 19. While en-route to Ulster, he receives bad news: Dryas had been overwhelmed by the Empire's might, choosing to sacrifice himself to buy time for his troops to retreat. Leif is forced to retreat with his troops, and they are pursued by the Empire, with Conomor figuring in their ranks. Miranda can speak to Conomor while fleeing with Leif's army, where she convinces him to defect and fight for Leif.
Miranda then goes on to continue supporting Leif in his cause to liberate Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. She approaches Leif in the Epilogue, where she asks him if he wishes to marry her, stating that she has come under pressure by the court nobles to do so to forge a unification between Ulster and Leonster. Leif claims he does not have time to attend to such matters at present, and Miranda thereafter returns to Ulster to wait for him to decide again after the war against the Grannvale Empire and the Loptr Church is over.
While waiting for Leif, Miranda falls in love with an unnamed knight and disappears. She is said to live happily as a wife and mother.
Personality[]
Miranda is a fiery and headstrong young woman, who, even in captivity, never forgot her vow to liberate her kingdom. Embittered by the downfall of her country, Miranda was filled with hate and especially with sadness when she is first introduced in Chapter 16B. Here, she immediately lashes out at Leif upon seeing him, blaming him for bringing about Ulster's fall.
Despite her short temper, Miranda is not unreasonable. As she continues working closely with Leif beyond their unpleasant reunion, she comes to respect him for being a responsible leader. This can be seen in her conversation with Count Conomor in Chapter 19, where she acknowledges his effort in attempting to help her retake Ulster, losing many of his troops and a close adviser in the process.

Miranda is one of Thracia 776's weakest recruits, struggling to find a meaningful role in a game filled with stronger magic users. She suffers from a bad starting point, poor bases, and an underwhelming class, making her one of the most impractical units to train.
Miranda joins in Chapter 16B, and everything about her base stats makes training her difficult. She is underleveled at Level 3, meaning she requires massive investment. She also has a low FCM meaning she lacks the high critical potential of other mages like Asbel. Unlike Linoan or Sara, she can't use staves, making it difficult for her to gain EXP.
Even if a player invests into Miranda, her promotion does little to help her. Mage Knight offers mediocre stat gains and doesn't significantly improve her weaknesses. Her competition (Olwen and Ilios) completely outclass her with better weapon ranks, stats, and skills. She doesn't even get Staves upon promotion, meaning she remains inferior to other magic users like Asbel, Linoan, and Sara.
Miranda does come with Wrath, which guarantees Enemy Phase critical hits, and she has a Movement growth. However, Wrath is much better on stronger units like Linoan, Sara, and Osian who can actually survive enemy attacks. Her movement growth is also unreliable, and even if she procs it, she still doesn't contribute much.
One of Miranda's biggest weaknesses is her recruitment condition. She is only available in Route B, which is already a suboptimal choice for most players. Route B has significantly worse recruitable characters (e.g., no Sleuf or Misha). The maps are more frustrating, featuring Rewarp Bishops, Berserkers, and Ballista spam. Route A is generally better, offering easier objectives and stronger characters.

Miranda is the princess of Ulster, a kingdom in northern Thracia. She's got a fiery, uncompromising personality. No one can keep her down! | ||
|
The kingdoms that make up the northern portion of the Thracian peninsula once formed an alliance, with Leonster at its center. In doing so, they were pretty successfully able to ward off invaders from other neighboring countries. Miranda's home kingdom of Ulster was part of that alliance as well! | ||
|
However, Leonster fell after an invasion by the Kingdom of Thracia and the Grannvale Empire, and Ulster came under Grannvale's control as well. Miranda was captured and made a hostage of the empire. | ||
|
But even during her captivity, Miranda showed no sign of giving in. No matter how bad her situation became, she would always remember her vow to liberate her kingdom! | ||
