She is currently residing in the MC Downtown district and she can be seen all over the city but is regularly found inside the city centre.
Reports say shes helping people in distress regardless of what it is. As well as aiding the MCPD, Primus, Until, Unity and even The Champions when asked.
She was originaly a normal human but was changed by a genetic experiment into a human/animal hybrid with enhanced abilities.
Genetic markers is consistant with the genetic experiments performed by Doctor Phillippe Moreau.
She is therefor classified as a manimal.
No other connection or affiation with Dr Moreau on her part has been made to date.
Extensive documentation about her genetic modification lists enhanced strenght, flexibility, durability, hearing and sight to the point of night vision.
She has shown an apptitude for internal energy manipulation (chi), martial arts and computer sience. (should not be engaged in close quarters)
Her mental evaluation is stable and currently not showing any signs of danger for deterioration. The current threat level is minimal but regular checkups and observation is adviced.
Background
Miranda is the only child in the powell family. Born on august 16, 1992 in Los Angeles state hospital. The family moves to MC in the year 1996 because of work assignments. Miranda lived a sheltered childhood in the newly built MC city centre district and quickly showed a headstrong and spirited personality. Often having her way in both the family and school. She showed great promise in school and was often ahead of the class when it came to math.
When she was 10 years old, her parents got an assignment to the Monster island to study alien artifacts and biology. Miranda wanted to come along with them and wouldent have it any other way. The assignmen was only supposed to be for 3 months and with no other relatives within the country, her parents agreed. Arrangements were quickly made to accommodate a child on the expedition.
Monster Island (origin)
One night the forward expedition camp was attacked by scavenging manimals. Miranda, the only child beeing small and easy enough to carry gets taken away into the night. Extended searches were made but nothing was found. She is presumed lost/killed. The search for her is abandoned after a few weeks.
Her parents continue the search by funding several small expeditions with expert hunters.
But it is as if shes gone from the face of the planet. The dangerous nature of the island makes the search extra hard... and expensive.
After another month or two they give up aswell and holds a small memorial, trying to accept the loss.
Changed
The scavenging manimals however turned Miranda over to Dr Monreo, and he was slowly moving along with hes experiments for an improved super soldier.
Transformed animals was good but it was rare to produce something other than a brute. Instead he was looking at ways to give a normal human enhanced animal abilities.
A combination of Radion X and Drejsha was mixed to appease VIPER. And after several terribly failed tries it was Mirandas turn.
Luckily for her (if you can call it that) something went wrong with the handling... as it can, when you have... less competent help in the lab named "Bananas".
The serum batch she should have been given was mixed up. Instead she recived an unconfirmed and presumed failed batch that was going to be discarded.
Her change is a huge success, as Miranda gets to keep her mind fully intackt and is instead enchanced in everyway and more so than Monrou expected.
Only later, when hes trying to repeat the success on the next subjekt does he realize the error with the mixed up batches as the test failes horribly.
Because he doesent know the composition of the failed batch that was used, he is unable to reproduce the success. This in turn gives him a hard time with VIPER.
Altho VIPER is still intressted in the projekt because of the success with Miranda as she is showing extreme strength, flexibility, durability, hand to hand coordination, hearing and night vision.
Escape
A few weeks after the change Miranda is awoken and almost pulled out of her cage by another manimal she doesent recognize. The lab is beeing assulted by manimals trying to free their brethren.
And the assulting manimals are lead by someone called Father Elk. As they rush thru the lab they open diffrent cages, Mirandas beeing one of them. She immedietly follows them to freedom.
Once on the outside she realize that she isent realy free but instead hunted by everyone on the island. Viper soldiers, Argent hunters, Agressive manimals and a special hunter squad.
Put togeather by Dr Monreo himself with a single mission. To bring Miranda back to the lab. Even Until is impossible to approch as they open fire when she tries to get close.
They too are weary of the many monsters and Miranda now beeing a manimal herself. Dispirited and broken by everything thats happened she gives in and desides to stay with Father Elks group as the manimal she now is.
Life isent simple, Mindle
Her new life beeing more than a little rough around the edges. Even her new manimal brethren doesent fully accept her as she doesent look quite like them.
Her way of moving and talking is too human for them to be confortable. Father Elk had already sensed this and confronts Miranda with this.
She tells him the whole story and he understands the situation. He takes her in under hes wings and takes her with him to the little peaceful Manimal village New Gornyj.
It is Father Elk that gives her the name Mindle. To better fit in with the other manimals. She begins to fit in and becomes accepted as a good standing member of the community.
As time passes she shows great skill in hunting and also helps the warriors of the village to fend of attacks. Father Elk is happy but still a little worried.
Mindle is slowly showing increasing signs of depression admist the changing times. With less worries and troubles about the everyday her mind starts to wander.
She misses her parents and her old life back home in MC.
Found and saved
Father Elks prayers and hopes are finaly answered. He has sent small scouts to the close by Until base. The scouts are still beeing fired upon when they move to close but the humans havent shows any real signs of agression. After a while an small armed expedition from the Until base visits the village to get an understanding of the situation. They are suprised to learn that there are peacefull manimals and Mindle comes in contakt with humans for the first time in 2 years. The Until scientists quickly takes notice in her as she appears almost human and show great understanding and laungistic skills... After a little talking Mindle tells her story about who she realy is. The scientists are fascinated by the story and wants to take her with them to validate her claims in a lab. Mindle is uneasy with the idea of testing and altho she is longing for human company she is weary of the whole idea. Father Elk however belives this to be Mindles way off this island and back to her roots. He pleads the scientists to give them some time to talk about this. The Until party understands and after giving away some supplies they move out to come back another day. Father Elk pushes for Mindle to leave with the humans, explaining that she needs to expand her world and views aswell as have a look for her own parents. Mindle gets a little scared by the idea of showing her new self to her parents. She feels a little ashamed but this quikly goes away when she looks at what she has managed to do in her short time as a manimal. These persons... these manimals is her family now. She is very conflicted about the whole idea and cant sleep for the entire night. 2 days later the expedition returns. And with it is Mindles father and mother. As Mindle opens her tent and moves to greet the expedition she freezes in that motion. Seeing her parents again after so long brings tears to her eyes. Her parents both freeze aswell and when Father Elk sees this he worries about how its going to end. Hes afraid to break the atmosphere but just as hes decides to break in to ease it up. Mindle mothers whispers Miranda and rushes to Mindle to embrace her child. Mindle embraces her mother with all the love and warmth she can muster. Her father comes up for a group hug and roughens her hair a little calling her hes little kitten. He is in tears aswell. Everyone is silent and lets them cry a little togeather. Father Elk is the one to break it up, suggesting they enter Mindles tent and talk in private. Mindle doesent know where to start, but luckily her parents doesent have that problem. They both shower her with questions both talking at the same time. They all have a laugh at the situation and start to catch up with each other. After the talk Mindle decides to join up with the Until group. Father Elk has already prepared everything for this moment. And despite that she will be greatly missed, everyone in the village is happy for her. She makes her goodbyes with everyone during the day and a small goodbye party with a fire is held as the night closes.
Until
Once in the Until camp she is openly welcomed as someone lost, returning home. Not everyone is showing enthusiasm however. Mindle is a little scared aswell as she still weary of humans.
Her fathers calming hand on her shoulders gives her confort and she brushes that feeling aside. Once inside the lab shes almost climbing the walls to get out. Because of this the tests are taken on the outside. She is quikly given a good bath despite her protests about her beeing perfectly clean. Having been one with the most intresst in hygene back in the manimal village. Apparently every mother needs to be extra caring when it comes to this. Mindle does ofc enjoy is aswell... having access to soap and good smelling loations. Her mother also gives her some human clothes. They are a little small because Mindle isent realy the sleek lady she could have been. Beeing a little more muscular and quite robust from the life in nature. Looking a little odd and out of place Mindle does her best to fit in by following her parents around. She meets alot of ppl and takes several tests. Both mental and physical. The DNA tests does indeed prove that she is who she says she is. Her parents wasent worried about that the least, maybe a little more worried about her mental health. Mindle however doesent dissapoint. Her parents knew her to be headstrong and cheerfull. Qualities shes still showing and with every passing day shes getting more lively and open. Many questions are made about how the transformation was done and about Dr Monreo etc. Questions she cant answer that well as she wasent realy focused at that time. And wasent fully aware about what was happening beeing sedated most of the time. Thinking back on it only brings up painfull memories. Until stops these questions as soon as its determined that she isent educated enough to properly answer the more advanced questions.
Release
Mindle is registered as a superhuman in the Until registy and given the full rights as one. She is however classified as a manimal instead of human despite her parents objektions. But she doesent realy care she knows her new body now and have come to like it. Instead she takes pride in it, it is hers and it is beautiful in every way regardless what ppl say. She leaves monster island with her parents and head for her hometown Millenium City. Finally home she is put in school again, Mindle however doesent mind or objekt. She wants to learn and she knows she has alot of catching up to do....
