I lost interest in Miranda when she got nice on the Normandy, an ice queen would have been great fun. Oh and I really didn't like how she is so perturbed by the thought of giving Cerberus the Collector Base. She is the ruthless Cerberus cheerleader the entire game, but when it comes to preserving the technology of the enemy in order to learn from it we've gone too far? Her loyalty to Cerberus and TIM fall apart because of minor moral qualms about preserving technology that was used to kill innocents? (which is nothing compared to other things Cerberus has done, not even counting rogue Cells like Pragia)
Still, at the very least she isn't a goody-two-shoes. Miranda is okay, I would have much more respect for her though if she stuck to her guns better and weren't so quick to get chummy with Shepard.
It's very bizarre given the fact that she defends the experiments on Husks on the basis of "they were already dead".
After many replays, the feel I get from Miranda, taking all her character parts as a whole is: Self-confident naivete. She thinks she knows exactly what's going on, and most of the time she has no idea. She things she's always right when 90% of the time she's hilariously wrong.
She defended the husk thing because most likely she's never seen a living person forced onto a spike and turned into a husk; she's only seen the resulting husks. Moreover, she heard about the project third hand, and because she "knows" that TIM is not a bad person, she accepted his explanation for events. But when she's at the Collector Base, she doesn't have a dry, third-hand report explaning everything to her; instead, she actually had to sit and watch while humans were liquified to make that thing. Consequently, she rejects the horror and sides with Paragon Shepard.
Because of her comedic wrongness, I no longer hate Miranda the way I used to. She puts on this pose of perfection, probably because in reality she has low self-esteem. That's my read.
I really doubt a woman who's worked with Cerberus for so long and is one of the few agents to get the honor of meeting TIM in person in his space station would be so naive and ignorant about such things. This is also the same person who after gunning down Wilson and Niket (if you let her) engages in deadpan humor right after.
She was naive enough not to realize that Niket betrayed her even though it was obvious. She was naive enough to think that she would be strong in creating a biotic shield as a 1,000 year old Justicar or the most powerful human biotic in existance.
Naive doesn't mean 'innocent', per se. It can just mean having a lack of judgement, which Miranda shows time and again. Even being willing to shoot Wilson without first trying to find out more about why he sabotaged project lazarus is part of that poor judgement.
