You know, I think I've figured out why I love Miranda and her romance so much. She's one of the few romancable females that isn't All About Shepard. She has other people and things she cares about, namely Oriana and the mission. I hate it when female characters revolve around the hero and don't have needs and goals that have nothing to do with him. I get the feeling that if something happened to Shepard, some of the LIs would collapse. But Miranda? She'd grieve, but she'd eventually move on. She wants Shepard. She doesn't need him, and I love her for it.
I'm not sure. If she does open herself and allows herself to finally connect fully with someone else, having that person torn from her life might not be as easily handled as some think. For the moment, I just don't know how she would handle it.
