"Sometimes, the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.  ~Miriam Smith Dr. Seuss

History
Miriam was born and raised in England, where the grass is green and the skies are grey. Though it does interfere with her love of rock-climbing, rock-collecting, a hobby of her's she's never really outgrown, she's grown to love rainy days and the smell of ozone right before a nice shower.

When her parents, Robert and Marina, first laid eyes on her, she was immediately dubbed Miram Erika. She grew up a single child in a very comfortable muggle household. Her parents, being as rich rich as they were, showed her the sky was the limit. Anything was possible. If you want a tutor in Russian, you will get one. If you want to paint a mural, we have a blank wall right over here. Even more so - everything was easy. This pampering explains her sometimes quixotic goals, and her demanding demeanor she takes when they are not met.

Bullying was not an uncommon occurrence when she was younger, though it honestly didn't bother her, since it never went beyond name-calling or the odd rumour here and there. She would retaliate, being the vengeful spirit she is, but most of the time she couldn't be bothered. Her brother, however, was to be bothered. While she continually insists he doesn't have to be so protective, she loves him for it.

Personality
She wants the best for everyone and everything - she means well, she really does. It's just that impulsiveness and unpredictability aren't the best qualities to couple with this idealism. Her goals, sometimes so large, simply turn into moods; Miriam's determined to do something, it's just that she hasn't found out what that something is. As so far, getting good grades is all she works for, and work she does.

Miriam sees herself as the bringer of justice. If you're shy, she seeks to bring you up. If you're cocky, she seeks to knock you down. And while she might need an ego deflation of her own, she won't thank you for it.

Miriam is confident. Sometimes that translates into an annoyingly pretentious, statuesque, composed, teacher-like, know-it-all sweetheart. Other times, her high energy and high expectations are hard to handle, and she becomes the ADHD problem child everyone knows and loves.

Her mind works well with lists, and she can often be seen creating them simply out of boredom. She's constantly revising one list - The Rules of Life, but certain things remain more or less the same. So far, what she has agreed on is:
 * Life needs rules.
 * To live is to be, to be is to do. There is no such thing as nothing. Don't think about it too much.
 * Do unto others as they have done unto you. Slightly worse; You are karma.
 * What people say is important. How they feel - even more so.
 * Never yell.
 * There is always a right answer.

Appearance
Miriam has, while not the beautiful copper most attribute when they hear the word 'Red', a most definitely a deep auburn color. Most would expect green, or even blue eyes to match, but instead she has brown. Occasionally she wear reading glasses, but it's rare to catch her tentatively looking at a book unless it's for some much needed cramming.

She doesn't look anything like her brother, Liam. Well, maybe their eyes are sort of similar? Maybe? You can easily see more resemblance between her and her red-headed father, though.

Trivia

 * Her FC is Piper McKenzie Harris
 * She has a knack for naming her wands. Her wand, which is Ebony gripping Dittany stalks, and is 11 inches in length, is named Emily.
