Random new decision: Miranda’s therapist is Rachel Clark. I originally didn’t give her a first name, but because of “Late to the Party” (peak Theo-POV Miradore anthem), she gets to be Rachel.

Rachel: What’s your favorite type of music?

Bruce: Your moan.

overhated female characters mean the world to me and i will protect them with my life because fandoms have no right to judge them for acting like someone who went through unimaginable trauma and call them annoying for their understandable behavior.

Should I tell you about Miranda Hayes? She's based on the speaker of "all my daughters" and I wrote her for a short story in the BAP universe (entitled "A Different Path, A Different Day") because my creative writing teacher wouldn't let me write BAP fanfic of my own story.

She's 25, of course (because all this mess proves she's alive).

She's a fearful-avoidant flutist-pianist in a band and by far its most popular member. She feels half-baked at both her instruments as if she were a fraud (totally not me projecting, and when I say that, I'm lying) because she never pursued the classical route in which she dabbled in her youth. Her parents didn't like that she took up flute. Either they said she wasn't trying hard enough and would become a disgrace, or they said she was decent, but not good, and no one wants her to get hurt when she realizes she will never match the skill of her older sister Alice. Miranda doesn't remember. (I did not realize when I wrote this that Alice is the name of one of Phoebe and Rose's friends. Is this the same Alice? In that case, Miranda is canon's Ensemble Pianist, provided that the Ensemble Pianist is female and looks like she could be biologically related to Alice.)

Miranda is afraid her future children will actually love her and she won't deserve it because she'll hurt them (totally not me projecting, and when I say that, I'm lying).

She has some precedent for that fear because she bent too much for Theo (unlike Alice, he is very obviously the same one) even though he expressed that didn't want that for her. She subsequently accused him of playing the long game to hurt her later and then broke up with him.

Miranda is in therapy with a Mrs. Clark for her fearful-avoidant attachment. (Interesting tidbit: both women's names are lifted from dodie herself, and Miranda's last name, Hayes, is lifted from Hazel Hayes.)

In the story (which I might post if there is demand), Miranda waits for her appointment with Mrs. Clark; thinks about her problems with the band, her attachment style, and her relationships with her family (including her future children) and Theo; and sees someone who looks like Alice wearing sunglasses and crying behind them. Miranda begins to realize she is not uniquely horrible, then goes to her appointment.

This is what she looks like (Picrew is rileydixondesign's Dress-Up!). I could not possibly decide between the hearts or sparkles in the background because each has a different meaning for her. Yes, she's modeled after dodie in the video where she first plays "all my daughters." Yes, Miranda's waiting for a therapy appointment because dodie's apartment's lobby sure looks like a waiting room:
