Miri: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:24, 14 December 2005

Miri was the oldest daughter of Megan, the most level-headed one in the family. The beautiful, maturing woman on the planet Antilla assumed the role of mother to her younger siblings, necessitated by her mother's death at Cylon hands. When not caring for the younger children or keeping elder brother Kyle under control, she fought the "tin cans" fairly often, riding on unicorn-like creatures. When Starbuck crash-landed on the planet, she and her siblings managed to liberate and take care of the injured Warrior.

Miri had taken interest in the Warrior; however, her hopes were shattered by the spiteful Kyle, who forced her to place a note in the Cylon-occupied castle arranging an exchange of the Warrior and her father. Starbuck, with some assistance from the love-struck Miri, managed to convince Kyle otherwise. They quickly planned an assault on the castle as well as an escape plan to get Megan out of Cylon hands. Miri and Starbuck managed to liberate her father from Specter, the devious IL-series commander, and eventually defeated the Cylons themselves.

She stayed behind on Antilla, much to the disappointment of Starbuck, who said she would have broken the hearts of many warriors on the Galactica. (The Young Lords)

Portrayed by Audrey Landers

Notes

Interestingly enough, Star Trek had a Miri in the episode "Miri" that was much similar to Battlestar's Miri. Trek's Miri had a similar relationship to Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), but it was considerably toned down than the events depicted in "The Young Lords", due to Miri being played by vixen Audrey Landers and the time period (1978-79). Additionally the situations that both Miris were placed in were quite similar, with both being considerably level-headed and managing to help the leads of both series with their respective mission -- survival.
