She watches a handful of makeup content but likes to keep her makeup look natural.

personality
♯ ⥌ ESTJ The Executive, Scorpio, Slytherdor, Water Bender, Chaotic Neutral.
♯ Ambitious, Loyal, Competent, Vigilant.
♯ Zealous, Outspoken.
♯ Inflexible, Coveted, Uptight, Vain.
With Miranda's ambitions, comes zealously. She is an enthusiastic person, especially since she is goal-driven. However this would also mean that she can not stop until her goal is reached, and would do anything in the world to complete it, even if it's the smallest task. It is a no brainer that Miranda is pretty outspoken. She has been taught to stand up for herself when needed, and always be honest. Of course, this has its setbacks because it could always lead to Miranda getting in trouble, especially since she's going into the music industry. But nevertheless, Miranda is not afraid to call you out on your bull.
Due to the fact that Miranda has her set ways, she has become inflexible. Her zealousness does not allow her to be flexible, it has to be on her own time. Of course, Miranda sets aside time for her loved ones and herself. But because of this, Miranda is reluctant on most things. She is very picky about certain things, and takes a tremendous amount of time to make up her mind. Miranda can be a coveted person in the way that she can get very greedy. She tends to internally compare herself to others, leading her to wanting more in material possessions just so she can prove herself to be worthy. Miranda will follow somewhat selfish and obsessive paths to get whatever she wants, and will not stop until she gets it. Miranda can get uptight sometimes; most of the time. It has already been said before, but Miranda doesn't not want anything or anyone to get in her way with what she wants. She is not easily fazed by backlash but she does take them to the heart even though she doesn't show her emotions. Due to her being zealous, she also is vain. Though she is not overly vain, she does take pride in herself but not to the point that she always wants to be the center of attention. She tries to mask her insecurities and emotions by being enthusiastic and confident. Because of this, Miranda thinks she has everything in life but in reality, she still needs to work hard to get what she wants.
background
The Davis-Beckett family lived in your typical suburbs of ia and America — filled with conservatives. Because of this, the Davis-Beckett family was the only family that was out, and by that Miranda was bullied a lot for having two moms. She was subjected to passive aggressive homophobic behavior from her classmates, and for the most part, Miranda ignored them because that's what her moms told her to do. However, more times than not, Miranda did get annoyed with her classmates, particularly with a classmate named Carter Thwaite. Carter comes from a very religious family, and is often seen as a pretentious kid. Long story short, he bullied Miranda often in school.
Miranda was a quiet child, and did not mind not being the center of attention. She certainly wasn't popular, she was just another fly on the wall. However, that changed when she was in the 4th grade. Carter was once again teasing Miranda, but on this particular day she was having a bad one. So in response, she punched Carter square in the nose, giving him a bloody nose. Fortunately for her, she only got 5 days of suspension and a reprimanding from her moms. From that point on, her classmates saw her as a threat if you were to wrong her. She then became a popular girl within the schools.
Since then, Shanna wanted Miranda to "get in touch with her Korean roots." She signed Miranda up for Korean lessons in the 5th grade and Miranda learned Korean up until 7th grade due to the fact that her Korean teacher moved. In those two years of learning Korean, Miranda fell in love with K-POP, with Girls Generation, Infinite, and Red Velvet being some of her favorite groups. Nobody knew about this though, as K-POP was still a taboo thing at the time, especially in Richmond.
In early 2020 when her family were on a trip to New York, the family were walking around the city when a lady in a business suit came up to them, seeking out Miranda in particular. Of course, they were very wary of the stranger yet tried to be as polite as possible. Long story short, the lady told her that she was a representative of Source Music and that she believed Miranda had star potential.
After thinking about it for a while, Miranda thought that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. And after long conversations with her parents later, they decided to let Miranda go to Korea for training. Everything was set up for her to go but then the pandemic started, which forced her to stay in ia.
Truthfully, it was a blessing in disguise because Miranda had little to no prior experience with music except for mandatory music class in elementary school and one random summer where she went to hip hop classes with her friends. So, Miranda decided to train herself at home until the travel restrictions were lifted.
Miranda spent countless hours in her garage practicing singing and dancing with the help of YouTube videos and even some online courses that she paid for herself. In June of 2021 she graduated high school and after her graduation party, Miranda auditioned to Source Music online and got accepted, booking the first flight out to become an idol and seeing her birth country for the first time.

Relationships
However, Miranda has a stricter relationship with Eileen, whom she and Jaden both call Eileen, Mom. Eileen is seen as the patriarch of the Davis-Beckett household as she is the one usually setting the rules. To Eileen, Miranda is her baby girl and always wants the best for her, even if that includes stricter parenting than Shanna's parenting.
Shanna, obviously, is much more laidback when it comes to parenting. Once again, Jaden and Miranda both call Shanna, Mama. With Miranda's relationship with Shanna, she always gets the benefit of the doubt, being called as the fun parent by the children, much to Eileen's dismay.
When Miranda told her parents about Source Music and how she got accepted, of course they were indifferent about it. Despite how Miranda wanted to go to university in New York, it's a different situation when your daughter would become an idol in a different country. But in the end, the two once again wanted what's best for Miranda and ultimately let her go to Korea.
Jaden is also very confused about the whole idol thing. He never was that interested in music, let alone Korean music, so no matter how many times Miranda tried explaining how she was going to Korea to debut, he never could quite get it but had been supportive of his sister's decision.
Then, of course, the pandemic hit. Miranda and Kendall still talked constantly under lockdown, and even changed their plans after high school. But as time went on, Kendall started a clothing and jewelry business while Miranda auditioned for the Source Music. When Miranda got accepted, the best friend's plans came to a complete standstill.
Kendall is very supportive of Miranda yet is sad to see her best friend live in a different country and not spend their university lives together. But they still talk nearly everyday and Kendall tries to support Deja Boo in whichever way possible.

SOLO ACTIVITIES
♯ DIVE Studios ⥌ Miranda was invited to DIVE Studios podcast, 'Daebak Show' as a guest, hosted by Eric Nam. Like the other interviews, Miranda talked about her upbringing leading to her joining Deja Boo. After the episode aired, the fans liked her appearance on the channel and DIVE Studios invited Miranda back on other shows such as 'Get Real', 'HWAITING', as well as 'Mindset.' ⥌ 2022-202X.
♯ Outta My Head ⥌ A non promotional release, the company wanted the members of Deja Boo to showcase their hard work through solo activities. Miranda was one of the first members to release a song, 'Outta My Head.' ⥌ 2023.
♯ MIRANDY 미란디 ⥌ Inspired by 'Johnny's Communication Center,' Miranda wanted to do vlogs of her own, uploading them to Deja Boo's official YouTube channel. The name Mirandy is a combination of Miranda and Mandy. ⥌ 2023-202X.
HEADLINES
♯ Deja Boo's Mandy Talks About the LGBTQ+ Community ⥌ Because it has been publicly stated that Miranda was raised by lesbians, it was universally accepted that Miranda was queer. And while that was the case, Miranda never had an official coming out post, she just did it privately but still spoke about her coming out journey online through Instagram and TikTok. Since coming to Korea, Miranda didn't know how taboo being LGBTQ+ was and how Korea was more of a conservative country than the States. So, numerous of times, she has spoken in support of queer rights, gaining many support from fans alike.
Not surprisingly, there are still people who don't like Miranda's outspokenness about the subject, claiming that it's a wrong message to send to her impressionable fans, and even boycotting Deja Boo, though failing miserably. But does Miranda care about what people have to say about her? Not one bit. ⥌ 2023.
♯ Deja Boo's Mandy Speaks Out Against Sasaeng Fans ⥌ It came to a point in Miranda's career as a Deja Boo member where she was kind of just done with all of the rumors spreading around about her as well as her group mates, whether it was the good ones or the bad ones. She never understood why the public liked to analyze everything little thing that an idol does, but she usually brushed past those comments.
- Is it true that you were a bully?
- Is [member] dating [random idol]?
- Are you dating [random idol]? Are you single?
- Touch your hair if you hate HYBE
- Where's [member]? I wanna see them
While Miranda usually ignored comments like this, something in her one day exploded. It was supposed to be a mundane live that she was doing, and she saw comments similarly in vain to the one above. Miranda took a sharp breath and calmly explained how much she hates these types of comments and how she was contemplating whether or not to report them just to get rid of them. Like clockwork, the livestream became a discourse online, some defending Miranda and speaking out against weird fans and the other side of the coin, where people said that she was just overreacting and way too sensitive. ⥌ 2024.
SCANDALS
♯ Deja Boo's Mandy Under Fire for Disrespecting her Seniors ⥌ People can take things out of context and dramatically change the narrative. This incident happened at a HYBE event where the HYBE artists did a concert together. Near the end, however, Miranda was seen not bowing to her seniors even though the other members of Deja Boo did. Still not that comfortable with Korean culture, Miranda simply forgot to bow but did do it shortly after seeing her members bow. Even before this, a handful of people noticed Miranda not bowing at the appropriate times or not using Korean honorific terms.
As this incident involved multiple people, especially their artists, HYBE made Miranda issue a public apology to her seniors and fans. ⥌ 2023.
♯ Deja Boo's Mandy Accused of Bullying ⥌ Shortly after Deja Boo had been announced as a headliner for Coachella, some people who were her classmates since elementary exposed her past after punching Carter. They started with that and recounted their perspective that day, and how Miranda became a queen bee ever since.
Former classmates from her later school years spoke out against Miranda, saying that she had a passive aggressive behavior towards them, but had little to no evidence to backup their accusations, just hearsay. And while the some of the accusations were true and Miranda was feeling guilty of her past behavior, she is never the type of person to actually admit that she was in the wrong. ⥌ 2024.
