Biography
Miranda's father, the Emperor, was a Time Lord, the last survivor of a catastrophe that ravaged Gallifrey. On the night Miranda was born, he was assassinated. Two members of the Imperial staff spirited the infant to Earth in the 1980s to keep her safe, but were discovered. When these parents were killed by the rebels, the Eighth Doctor quickly stepped in to adopt her. (PROSE: Father Time)
The Doctor used to sing a song about windmills to Miranda. (PROSE: Grimm Reality)
Miranda shared at least one adventure with the Doctor during this time. One such adventure involved fighting the Network, which had taken over Miranda's school. (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles)
The Doctor raised Miranda. When she was sixteen, the rebels returned to kill her as well. Miranda killed the leader of the rebels and fled. Three years later she was discovered again, but reached an understanding with the rebels after she rejected her would-be captor's assertion that strength would always prevail. She returned to the future to inherit her title as "supreme ruler of the universe". (PROSE: Father Time)
Miranda ruled from her father's throne at the Needle. Before news of her coronation had time to spread, there were many attempts on Miranda's life. The commander of her forces, Prefect Ferran, plotted to use her bloodline to open the Librarinth. (COMIC: Miranda, PROSE: Sometime Never...)
Many years later, Miranda had united the factions and houses on the Needle, and ruled her empire peacefully. Miranda saw the threat of the Council of Eight to the universe, and travelled back in time to help the Doctor defeat them with her daughter, Zezanne. She sacrificed herself to avoid being used as a hostage, saving the Doctor from sacrificing himself instead. (PROSE: Sometime Never...)
