depends if you like your women alive (miri) or extra crispy (ash) heh cause she actually is a pile of ashes, lol just joking. Miranda for me I just found her to be way more useful and interesting character wise. That being said ill play though my ash save just to see how it plays out.

What the friggen heck?! Miranda has a way to big forehead.  I like miranda but I think Ashley is better.  She has more personality however her poems can get pretty annoying.  Ashley is also more humorous than miranda.

Ash's moment is Horizon when she looks the person who saved the galaxy and now her twice and calls him a traitor. She didn't even try to listen to what Shepard was saying all she did was get mad and walks away to leave Shepard to save the galaxy yet again.

Why is that her defining moment rather than when she helped Shepard steal the Normandy, thus going against the Alliance and her family? Chronological order?
Not that I'm saying her reaction on Horizon was completely reasonable but still...

Yea, I'm sure Ash was just over reacting on Horizon. Imagine if you're trusted superior officer/possible lover/best-friend (depending on how u played ME-1) gets spaced by an unknown aircraft, you dont hear from him for 2 YEARS and boom, right after some Collectors abduct half a colony, ur superior shows up with Cerberus gear, Miranda, and Jacob? Now that I think about it, i'd be a bit salty too.

And even without playing ME-1, I know that there's more to her than that encounter.

Miranda is the lesser of two characters I absolutely hated.

That is not her defining moment that is Anderson's moment when he stuck his neck and his fist out to help Shepard.
Also when I say defining moment I mean the moment that I just naturally think about when I think about the character it isn't delibrate it just is what it is. I remember Miranda standing up to TIM and I remember Ash calling Shepard a traitor... those are the moments I think about when I think about those two.

Could that be because these were their last moments? Or perhaps these moments were defining to their respective scenes?

I never took Jacob and Miranda to Horizon.  Much more fun to thave Grunt and Garrus or Garrus and Mordin.  Neither of them are with Cerberus, but working for Shepard.  Ash's comment about Garrus too was great.   I get why Ash or Kaidan for the matter acted on Horizon.  But Miranda snapping on Joker after the collectors took the crew is a major reason why I started to not like her.  That scene by Miranda was quite uncalled for in my view.

Uncalled for? Okay, so how would you tell your boss that 'oh I'm sorry, we lost everyone on the ship thanks to a Collector ambush and only the pilot is left? By the way, we just gave EDI full control over everything on the ship and every single database. Bye!'

Of course Miranda's pissed...and somewhat scared.

Definitely Miranda. Aside from the....more obvious reasons *coughasscoughcatsuitcough*, her backstory was interesting and seeing how she coped with it helped her grow on me. Anyone who claims she isn't original clearly doesn't know her.

As for Ashley, my biggest problem with her is I felt Bioware was trying too hard to make her the "tough female soldier" character and it made her come across as obnoxious and reckless. I think her suspicions regarding aliens is another consequence of that. It's like Bioware tried to make her an action girl first, and an organic character second. Plus, I was never able to get over the fact she has the same name as a guy with a chainsaw for a hand :blink:

Oh, and can we please dismiss the absurd "Looks vs. Personality" canard? Both characters have plenty of both, and someone choosing one character doesn't mean they dislike one of those traits.

Ashley, and easily. I don't dislike Miranda, I just can't ever summon up any kind of attachment to her character.

Miranda Lawson, for these reasons:
1. Her back-story is more interesting than Ashley's.
2. Her romance sub-plot is more emotional than Ashley's.
3. She's more useful in combat than Ashley is.
4. She's more attractive than Ash.
5. She's smarter, and has more personality than Ash.

I hope she's confirmed as a squad member in ME3, she's my 3rd favourite character.

Well, to be honest - and I'm saying this as a Miranda fan - Ashley has a quite striking personality. And I recall Ashley being very useful in combat in ME1, often killing stuff before I had a chance to.

I wish to have both in my team in ME3. But of course Ashley is no match for Miranda in the end ;)

Both are useful in combat, so it's a tough choice, but if we'll have both in the team, I'll go for Ashley. Ash suffered from lack of Miranda's thick plot armor in ME1 (or Liara's for that matter) so she's not in my canon renegade playthrough, but that's why I have another Shep :)
