Miranda Jules
"Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid."
Name:
Miranda Nichole Jules
Age:
26 as of June 5th
Gender:
Female
Role:
Head Secretary
Hair Color:
Sandy--almost golden-- blonde. Darker towards the roots.
Eye color:
Miranda loves to say that the color of her eyes "morphs". The majority of the time, her eyes can be labeled as hazel, watery green rimmed by brown, streaked with blue, accented with a golden color that's almost yellow.
Appearance:
Standing at 5'8 and weighing 130 lbs, Miranda is the average height and weight for her age. She, however, doesn't eat the healthiest. As a matter of fact, campers often try to bribe her into giving them a share in the plethora of donuts and candy that always seem to be spread out over her desk. She constantly making jokes about how morbidly obese she would be if she didn't jog every morning. Miranda's wardrobe doesn't include much finesse, but there is enough nice clothing to assist her in coming off as professional to the delinquents and their parents when she is roaming about camp grounds. This wardrobe includes mostly nice jeans, blouses, t-shirts, jean and leather jackets, and high heels. She does, however, have a single pair of sneakers, which she does wear when there is no one to impress, not that shoes really ever make a big impact on her. She mostly roams around her office either barefoot or in socks. Somewhere in her closet, she is convinced, there is a dress, but she hasn't worn it once in her life because 'they're impractical.' Her hair is its natural shade, though she's dyed it more colors than she can count on one hand, and perhaps two. When she was 12 she tried teal and purple highlights, the next color being auburn, then brown, then platinum blonde. Pink, black, bright red, and after that she loses track. Makeup as a concept isn't altogether foreign to Miranda, though she doesn't thoroughly enjoy putting on makeup very much. In the morning she'll dab on some lip gloss, concealer, and mascara (maybe even some blush if she's feeling super ris-kay), but she very rarely applies anything more than that.
Personality:
There are two major aspects of Miranda's personality; the witty, fun, and kind-- albeit a bit sarcastic-- side of her, and the closed-off, calm and collected side of her. There's one large difference between the two, though. See, the witty side of her is how she really is, the cool and collected side is more of a show that she puts on, a hardened mask that she hopes make her look more perfected to those surrounding her.
Miranda rarely shows her witty, natural to the campers, though if they'd bother to talk to her, then they might be able to experience her true personality in all its grandeur. Real Miranda's favorite things on the planet Earth have got to be that's-what-she-said jokes. Immature, she knows, but they're one thing that she never seemed to outgrow. Her and her sister told them to each other at the most inappropriate of times, and even when they didn't make sense, they always were a riot that reduced both of the blonde girls down to tears of laughter and aching stomachs. She's a bit awkward, true, because the whole world seems a joke to her. It's one thing that she used to positively hate. She tries to be a good friend and all, but if somebody bursts into tears, it's all she can do to keep a straight face while she pets their back. How is she not supposed to laugh? Wondering how other people do it consumes a lot of her time, like, those little hiccuping noises that they make and the way that their faces scruch up and make any level of beauty disgruntlingly hideous, it cracks her up every time. Real Miranda loves the world, loves herself, and loves her job even though she hates it because, even though working with all the campers is one of the most frustrating things on the face of the earth, some of the kids are seriously funny, and as long as she can pick the sociopaths away from the ones who she can talk to, she's sure that she'll have a good time.
At least, that would be if there wasn't that other side of Miranda lurking behind everything that she did, every good-intentioned thought shadowed with a serious one.
After her sister died, distant Miranda has been lurking there, and being stuck behind a desk at a camp full of delinquents? That really did nothing to squelch the ugly, knotted, artificial aspect of her. All the letters that she writes out to parents, how crisp and formal and in actuality, utterly boring they sound? That pretty much sums up this part of her. She's pretty much transformed part of herself into, well, a secretary. A hardened, unamused secretary. She stares at everyone over the frames of her glasses-- something that real Miranda would never wear, she has a strict contacts-only rule--, reigning down with an iron fist upon campers who misbehave. It physically hurts her, if she's to be honest, and one time while she was lecturing a girl about how no, it's not okay to light your freaking friend's hair on fire when the poor little pyromaniac burst into tears. Miranda promptly burst out in apologies, and in order to keep herself from laughing at the other girl's expense (this one was a particularly ugly crier, as she noted) she busied herself getting the girl all of the candy that she had in her office. Miranda was sure that the girl and her friends feasted on the stuff later, but she couldn't bring herself to reclaim it once the girl was gone and she had put her mask back on.
Birthmarks, Scars, and Other Marks:
Miranda has a tattoo of the letter "C" on her left ankle. C for Carolina. She also has a long scar along the back of her head from when her and Carolina were playing outside as kids and she fell onto the pavement.
Secrets:
She was 17 when it happened. Her sister was two years younger than her, and severely bullied. Miranda was her sister's only friend, but as almost any other high school senior, she had dreams beyond her family's little white picket-fence, and she wanted to go to college. Her and her sister, who's name is, by the way, Carolina, got into a huge fight over it. Carolina wanted Miranda to stay until she finished high school, but Miranda definitely didn't want to waste two perfectly good years lolly-gagging for her little sister. The fight ended with Carolina saying that if Miranda left, she would kill herself. Miranda, not understanding how deadly serious her sister was being, left for college, and not two days later, she got a phone call saying that her baby sister was dead. She immediately dropped out of college and still can't forgive herself not only for causing the death of the person she loved the most, but also for letting it upset her academic life.

Bio:
Miranda was born into a dreadfully boring family, one brother who had aged 5 years old when she saw her first glimpses of the real world at the fragile age of newborn, and was soon to have a sister, not 2 years after Miranda herself was born. She had a mother and a father, a nice, little house in a respectable neighborhood where everyone's lights went on at 7:30 and back off at 9:00 with a white picket fence and even a dog named Rex.
