Miranda Lawson

'"I'm an excellent judge of character. I think you'll find my assessments to be right on the money." '

Miranda Lawson is a central character in Mass Effect Galaxy and a possible squad member in Mass Effect 2. She was shown at the E3 2009 demo along with Jacob Taylor.

Miranda is voiced by Yvonne Strahovski.

In Mass Effect Galaxy, Miranda appears to have ties to the Alliance military -- or at least Jacob's former captain Derek Izunami -- and is currently working as an informant. When asked how she knows Major Izunami, she claims to be a "friend of a friend". She guides Jacob, often appearing as a hologram, leading him to sources she has on the impending batarian attack. Eventually she develops a deep respect for Jacob himself.

Miranda is very well traveled and has many contacts, including the salarian Ish. She also somehow gains information relating to the building up of batarian forces on Bekke and the kidnapped scientists on the Ahn'Kedar Orbital Platform.
