IC Information:
Name: Miranda Lotto
Fandom: D.Gray-man
Timeline:207th Night, while sitting with other Order members in the medical wing of the Black Order Headquarters
Age: 26
Appearance: Miranda is about 5’6” and very slender (she so slender she doesn’t even weigh 100lbs). She has long, wavy brown hair and brown eyes with dark lines around them—from being an insomniac, although they are not nearly as bad as they once were. She often wears gloves due to the scars on her hands, but currently she’s in a black tank top and her Exorcist uniform slacks.
Abilities:
For the most part Miranda is a normal human with no discernible skills or abilities. What makes her different from the average person is that she is an Accommodator for Innocence, a special tool or weapon in her world that few people are capable of using.
Time Record -- This is Miranda's Innocence which looks like a huge disc with glowing lines that can be strapped to her arm or held suspended in the air between her hands, and it has the power to stop time, rewind it, and to "turn back the clock" on people and objects. She can take away a person's injures and keep them locked inside of Time Record, or return an object to its prime condition, but all of these effects end once Time Record is deactivated (this technique is called “Time Recovery”). If someone’s “time” is kept inside of Time Record Miranda is constantly aware of them—if they are injured again, she knows, if they die, she knows. She is also capable of creating barriers/shields in which time is effectively negated for anyone or anything within her area of effect and prevents anything from entering or existing the shield unless Miranda’s will allows it, while still being aware of what goes on outside of the barrier (this is called “Time Out”). Miranda's Innocence is an Equipment Type, but also a support/defense type, since she cannot use it to attack anyone. Because Miranda’s power is not permanent, she cannot stop death. Any fatal injuries that a person suffers while under her Innocence’s power will return to them once she turns it off. She has only used these two techniques simultaneously once and has yet to figure out how to do so again.
Stamina -- Time Record eats up her energy, but Miranda can go days without rest, and still have it activated. She’s shown using pure strength of will to keep her barriers strong against Akuma, Noah, and even the Earl himself. She will keep it activated well beyond the limits of her own energy if necessary and has gone 10 days before without sleeping.
Personality:
Miranda has the lowest self-esteem of almost anyone ever. Because of constant failings at everything she does, she believes she's not good for anything and that she'll only make things worse or fail by trying (she was fired from one hundred jobs in her hometown). Even so, Miranda never gives up, because she believes that there must be at least one thing in the world that she can be good at, some person that she can prove herself to and have them be happy that she was there. If she can’t be good at anything, at least she can keep trying because otherwise she has nothing left for her.
After meeting Lenalee and Allen, she accepts being an Exorcist as her calling and goes to train at Headquarters because she wants to make a difference, and prove to herself that she is more than who she once thought she was. Miranda never wants to go back to being that woman who hid away in her home drinking away her sorrows and growing steadily more jaded and bitter at the world. She is an Exorcist, she has purpose, and she has friends. These are the things that drive her—her strengths and her weaknesses.
Miranda's Innocence, Time Record, takes a large toll on her body, and her emotions, because she uses it whenever she can to take away the injuries of those around her during a fight, especially her fellow Exorcists, but when she deactivates it, all of their injuries come back, on top of the ones they have newly received. She knows that she is essentially healing them so they can continue to fight and get hurt even more, which makes her wonder if her Innocence is a blessing or a curse at times. Miranda can't stand the thought of letting them be injured that way, not only because she cares about them, but also because she sees it as a failure on her part that her Innocence isn't powerful enough to take away their injuries permanently. To her, it makes her more useless and a less important part of the team. It's even worse if the person or people will die once she deactivates her Innocence, because she blames herself for their deaths, even though she didn’t cause their wounds.
Still, Miranda doesn’t believe there are many things that she is good at, so she will strive to do her best with what options are open to her. If she can protect her friends in whatever minor way she can, she will do so. If she has to put her life in danger to achieve a goal that will benefit them or some innocent person, she will. She’s a giver. Willing to keep giving and giving of herself even when she doesn’t believe that she has much worth giving.
She apologizes often for the slightest of mistakes and social missteps. She can be pessimistic and negative, but often turns these negative moods onto herself rather than on anyone else. Miranda is also a chronic worrier. It's like an anxiety disorder, because she gets herself really worked up worrying over every little thing she says or does and also about the people she cares about. But it doesn’t stop her from wanting to believe in the good in others, to the point she is more likely to trust a stranger she just met than to assume they are a danger to her, despite the fact she knows that in her world anyone could be an Akuma out to kill her.
In the time since she became an Exorcist, Miranda has come a long way from the self-loathing, bitter, lonely, miserable person she once was. She is more assertive, willing to stand up for herself and express her feelings, and doesn’t fall into dark moods as much as she used to, but she doesn’t see for herself just how far she’s come. The fact that she leaves her hands bare at times now when months ago her palms were constantly covered (and months before that she never would have gone without gloves covering them entirely), shows she’s less self-conscious and more comfortable in her own body. Any mention of something like this by someone else will send her into a full on stammering fluster. She’s still clumsy and erratic and goes off on strange tangents in her thoughts without meaning to, but she is changing. It’s a work in progress and Miranda isn’t afraid to put in the effort.
History:
Miranda grew up in a small German town and was shunned as a child for being different and clumsy. It led to her having a complex as an adult where she constantly tripped over herself, uncoordinated and skittish, always making mistakes and causing problems when she was trying to help. She was fired from a hundred jobs and would hide away in her home, drinking her sorrows away until she tried again the next day. One day she came across a shop with a grandfather clock outside and the owner explained her was ready to get rid of it because no one had yet been able to turn the clock and get it to work. He handed Miranda the key and when she tried it worked perfectly. She took the clock home with her and it became her only friend. After being fired from her hundredth job on October 9th, she got drunk and made a wish on the clock that she wished “tomorrow would never come.”
What she didn’t realize at the time was that the grandfather clock was actually powered by Innocence and her wish activated it because she is its accommodator. By activating the Innocence she accidentally erected a barrier around her entire town, preventing anyone from entering or exiting. And at the stroke of midnight the clock would rewind and the people would relive the same day over and over again. The only person who was aware that it was happening was Miranda herself. She goes through the same day thirteen times before she is attacked by an Akuma, which surprises her because she has no idea why the day has changed. She is saved by Allen Walker and then fled from him, but followed him when she caught sight of him a few repeated days later. She found him and Lenalee Lee in a café and failed at stalking them so when Allen caught her, she finally admitted the truth that she was the only one who noticed the day had been repeating itself.
It was Allen and Lenalee who realized it was the grandfather clock causing the anomaly and they believed that if Miranda succeeded at something then the she would be able to undo her wish. They helped her get a job with an outdoor theater selling tickets on the 34th repeated day and things go well until the tickets are stolen. Allen chased after the thief to get them back, but Miranda was captured by the Noah Road Kamelot when she admitted out loud that her clock was the Innocence. She staked Miranda’s hands to her own clock, staked Allen’s arm to the wall, and did something to Lenalee that leaves her near catatonic. Miranda ended activating her Innocence again, healing Allen and Lenalee long enough for them to defeat Road and her Akuma, but when she turned it off their injuries returned and she rushed to get help for them. It is at this point that Miranda decides her path in life is to become an Exorcist and she begins her journey to the Black Order’s Headquarters.
She spends months training with the Order before she is sent out herself to China where the group sent to find General Cross Marian have been beached due to damage done to the ship owned by Miss Anita, whose crew is ferrying the Exorcists to Japan. She uses Time Record to fix the ship and keeps it activated on the journey from China to Japan, only they are attacked by several Akuma. As it continues she becomes more and more worn down as the ship is damaged and people are injured and Time Record takes all the damage into itself. The Akuma who attacked almost shoots her, but she is shielded by a large group of the sailors on the ship, which hurts her because she knows it means that they are going to die. She holds out with her Innocence as long as she can, but the stress from the amount of power being used keeping the time of so many people finally breaks her to the point that she can’t go on anymore.
The modified Akuma Chomesuke came to help fight against the Akuma, but when the battle is done, they know they have to move on to Japan quickly. The Exorcists and the three last surviving ship crew members take the one undamaged longboat and when Miranda releases her Innocence the ship returns to the wreck it was and the crew crumbles into dust from Akuma poisoning. They make it to Japan and Miranda tries to rest, but they are attacked by the Earl and she has to activate it again. She can’t keep it up for long though and is eventually exhausted to the point she gives out. She comes to just in time for Allen to show up and repel the Earl and for the arrival of General Tiedoll’s team. As they regroup, she brings them all under Time Record’s power, but Lenalee, Allen, Lavi, Krory, Kanda and Chaozii are dragged into the Noah’s Ark and she’s left trying to hold their time outside while more Akuma attack them. She is still able to feel them, but can also feel when their time is abruptly cut off from her, leaving her to believe some of them have died. Thankfully things are reversed when Allen takes control of the Ark, but it’s not until they make it back to the European Branch again that she releases her Innocence.
It is some time later while not having completely recovered from the events in Edo that the Order’s Headquarters is attacked by the Noah Lulubell and her Akuma, attempting to reclaim the Egg that is used to create Akuma. Miranda uses Time Record to hold the Egg in the HQ, but because she cannot stop time from moving completely, she can only delay it for a while. They make the choice to destroy the egg, but Lulubell captures Miranda in her body (morphed into a large wave of water) attempts to drown her in order to get her to release her Innocence. She managed to hold out for a while without air and could have died if not for Allen coming in to save her.
Even after that, she remains using her Innocence throughout the entire ordeal, through the deaths and violence and even the Level 4 Akuma that threatens to destroy the entire compound. She uses her barrier to shield some of the injured scientists and finders from the fires that were broke out and refuses to release it until after the sprinklers come on to douse the flames.
The Order compromised, they decide to move Headquarters to a new location, but wacky things occur, including Miranda accidentally dropping a box filled with Science Department prototypes that caused Bookman to grow bunny ears and Lenalee to turn into a cat-girl. Later on she’s bitten and turns into a zombie, only to bite Noise Marie and turn him, too. They aren’t cured until Bak Chan, head of the East Asian Branch, comes to the European Headquarters weeks later.
After moving to the new Headquarters, they begin going on more missions, the presence of Akuma becoming more prevalent and the search for other Innocence users more desperate. General Cross disappears and is thought to possible to be dead and it is revealed that Allen is thought to be the reincarnation of the 14th Noah, and could lose control at anytime. She doesn’t believe it though and tries to comfort Allen later on. She goes on more missions and is very active due to her Innocence’s abilities. They meet the Third Exorcists, who happen to be humans altered with Akuma DNA to make them capable of killing Akuma by eating them. Later, she is sent out on an emergency mission with General Socalo, Krory, and the Third Exorcist, Kiredori, only because of the Noah taking control of Alma Karma and turning him into an Akuma, the Thirds lose control and become even more Akuma-like themselves. Socalo is forced to kill Kiredori and Miranda is very upset, only to find out that Allen has also been locked down because they believe the 14th is closer to the surface.
When Allen is broken out of his cell and goes on the run (and Howard Link thought dead), Miranda and many others are sent after him, but they do not find him in time. In the months after, the missions become even more frequent, to the point Exorcists barely have time to rest before having to hurry off on another one. There are so few Exorcists left with the Order than they utilize them as often as they can. Miranda is still depressed by how many of her friends she’s lost, especially Allen, but it doesn’t deter her from focusing on her missions. From the canon point she is being taken from she has just been told by General Klaud Nine to be ready to leave for another mission in five hours after being patched up in the medical wing from her most recent one.
Roleplay Sample - Log: [Canon-based]
Miranda barely flinched at the iodine against her cheek or the bandages being wrapped around her arm. It was only a burn, it would heal. Not all of the others were so lucky with as one of the Finders had broken an arm—and some had not returned at all. She clenched her hand and the nurse frowned at her.
“Please stay still, Miss Lotto,” she chided, gently. Miranda blushed and apologized under her breath, but didn’t move again. It wasn’t helping anyone to make things harder for the nurses to do their work, even if it did sting a little.
She let her eyes roam the room, taking in all the people that were being tended to. So many of them were here. Back from one mission, moving on to the next. It was as if they rarely had the time to do anything together anymore. They were frayed at the edges even as they tried to hold everyone together at the core.
And some people were still missing. It was an emptiness she tried to ignore. This was her family. And even if some were gone far and wide, spread thin and away, they were still her family.
The bandage was placed on her cheek and she finally leaned back, giving a smile and a nod of thanks. “Thank you,” she said. She reached up, smoothing her fingers over it.
“It’s the least I can do,” the nurse replied with a smile. “You Exorcists do so much.”
It’s not true, she thought. They didn’t do nearly enough. They couldn’t. But she smiled instead. “Thank you.”
The gate opened and Timothy was thrust through, looking exhausted and as hungry as the rest of them. He was just a child. So young. Too young. It’s not—
--She kept that thought to herself as well. It won’t help. General Klaud looked to her and Miranda sat up straighter, more on edge. She knew that look even if the words had not yet been said. “Miranda, you’ll depart with me in five hours. Get ready.”
“Ye-Yes!” she nodded, hands clenching on the seat beneath her even as her hair tickled the bandage on her cheek. This was all she could do. It might not have been enough, but it is all she had. She had to move forward with everything in her. A friend had taught her that.
Roleplay Sample - Journal: (Written in first person, IC, as though it were a journal entry.)
Oh…oh. Um. I don’t…I don’t remember this being behind one of the doors. Is…Is this a test? I’m sorry, I don’t know where I am--[She confused and frightened--]--and where are my clothes?!
[Yes, the lack of clothes is very important. She is wearing her Exorcist coat and nothing else.] I would be very grateful if someone would tell me what is going on and um—where I could get some pants? I-If you don’t mind.
This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function? Miranda is someone who is unsettled by bad events easily, so being trapped in a place like the Facility will get to her, but she also represses things a lot. She doesn’t want people to worry about her, so she’s more likely to keep things to herself and eventually implode on herself. But after that she usually discovers a hidden strength in herself and finds a means of pulling herself together.
Questions? Comments? Crazed and creative statements? Those go here. Miranda’s Innocence is not a weapon, more of a defensive tool. Would she be able to keep it or would it be confiscated?

The bandage was placed on her cheek and she finally leaned back, giving a smile and a nod of thanks. “Thank you,” she said. She reached up, smoothing her fingers over it.
“It’s the least I can do,” the nurse replied with a smile. “You Exorcists do so much.”
It’s not true, she thought. They didn’t do nearly enough. They couldn’t. But she smiled instead. “Thank you.”
The gate opened and Timothy was thrust through, looking exhausted and as hungry as the rest of them. He was just a child. So young. Too young. It’s not—
--She kept that thought to herself as well. It won’t help. General Klaud looked to her and Miranda sat up straighter, more on edge. She knew that look even if the words had not yet been said. “Miranda, you’ll depart with me in five hours. Get ready.”
“Ye-Yes!” she nodded, hands clenching on the seat beneath her even as her hair tickled the bandage on her cheek. This was all she could do. It might not have been enough, but it is all she had. She had to move forward with everything in her. A friend had taught her that.

Oh…oh. Um. I don’t…I don’t remember this being behind one of the doors. Is…Is this a test? I’m sorry, I don’t know where I am--[She confused and frightened--]--and where are my clothes?!
[Yes, the lack of clothes is very important. She is wearing her Exorcist coat and nothing else.] I would be very grateful if someone would tell me what is going on and um—where I could get some pants? I-If you don’t mind.
This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function? Miranda is someone who is unsettled by bad events easily, so being trapped in a place like the Facility will get to her, but she also represses things a lot. She doesn’t want people to worry about her, so she’s more likely to keep things to herself and eventually implode on herself. But after that she usually discovers a hidden strength in herself and finds a means of pulling herself together.
Questions? Comments? Crazed and creative statements? Those go here. Miranda’s Innocence is not a weapon, more of a defensive tool. Would she be able to keep it or would it be confiscated?
