Miranda Lawson is a fictional character in the role-playing video game series ''Mass Effect'' by BioWare. In it, Miranda is an officer of the pro-human group Cerberus, first appearing in ''Mass Effect Galaxy'' and then serving as a squadmate in ''Mass Effect 2''. In addition to these, the character also makes an appearance in the ''Mass Effect: Redemption'' comic series, in ''Mass Effect 3'' (provided the player does not import a save where she dies), and in issues 5, 6, 8 and 9 of the ''Mass Effect: Foundation'' comic series. She is revealed to have been genetically designed by her father (Henry Lawson) to be perfect, and ran away from home to join Cerberus. Yvonne Strahovski voices Miranda, and provided the model for her. Like Strahovski, Miranda was originally blonde, but the character was changed to have black hair to complement her "femme fatale" look. Camera angles and shots were employed to emphasise her sexuality. David Kates composed her theme for ''Mass Effect 2''. The character was well-received, with Strahovski being nominated for "Best Performance by a Human Female" in the Spike Video Game Awards. Her design came into attention; however, 1UP.com's Ryan Winterhalter criticised the game's numerous camera shots of her behind, something David Silverman defended due to her character. ==Character overview== In ''Mass Effect 2'', Lawson is revealed to be a high ranking operative of the pro-human organization Cerberus, and has been genetically altered for superior intelligence and physical traits. She is shown to be a capable leader, exemplified with her being one of the few members of the squad who can successfully lead a fireteam in the final mission without anyone dying, despite feeling she does not command respect like Shepard does. Lawson is leader of Cerberus' Lazarus Cell, tasked with reviving Commander Shepard. Aboard the ''Normandy'', the player's spaceship, she is Shepard's second-in-command and Executive Officer, and files mission reports directly to the Illusive Man. Lawson was the artificially created daughter of Henry Lawson, a rich and powerful businessman from Earth. Rather than give her a human mother to randomize her genetic code, Henry took his own DNA and doubled his X chromosome, hoping to create a dynasty. Unhappy with his attempts to exert control over her life, Miranda joined Cerberus and secretly sent her sister into hiding to protect her from their father. Provided the player completes a mission to prevent her sister's abduction, she ultimately becomes loyal to Shepard. In one of the story's possible endings, she proves her loyalty when the Illusive Man gives her an order to prevent Shepard from destroying the Collectors' Space Station by refusing and announcing her resignation before ending the communication abruptly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miranda Lawson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
