Miranda

Miranda, formerly known as Beta, is a Witch.

Miranda is a witch with an empty nature. She desires to be whole, trying to swallow the world in an attempt to fill the hole in her soul.

Barrier
Miranda's barrier is located inside a unfrequented dark alley or an empty warehouse, reflecting upon her empty nature.

Upon entering, magical girls will find themselves on a tiny deserted island, with no way off. There will be no ferry. They will be surrounded by water, with the occasional supply crate floating by. There will be no way to access the second part of her barrier unless they make use or wait for the opportune moment to traverse the "river" through the driftwood to the "second" part of her barrier. The water is also tumultuous, often turning and tossing and drowning many that attempt to cross it. Those that do not cross it are drowned and swarmed by creatures resembling mermaids or sirens.

The second part of her barrier, normally inaccessible unless the supply crates line up, is a room draped in curtains and a single overhead spotlight. Magical girls who have accessed this area will find themselves in front of a mirror. There is nothing else in the room except for that single mirror. "Smashing" the mirror will allow people to access the core.

Familiar(s)
Miranda's familiar, named "Ariels" are eight-legged arachnids that carry mirrors on their backs. The spiders have no facial features and only a mirror. Ariels are fully capable of standing upright, showing the full length of the mirror (approximately 1.5 meters). Each mirror may display a distorted image of Beta under the right lighting. Each image is different, but will have one thing in common: her eyes are always blocked out.

Upon shattering of the mirror, other Ariels will scurry to gather up the missing pieces, making it easy to kill large groups of them.

Observations and Facts
Miranda is named after the daughter of Prospero in the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Miranda was brought to the island at an early age and has never seen any men other than her father and Caliban, though she dimly remembers being cared for by female servants as an infant. Because she has been sealed off from the world for so long, Miranda’s perceptions of other people tend to be naïve and non-judgmental. She is compassionate, generous, and loyal to her father.
