Place of Birth: Manchester, Britain
Gender: Female
Race: Human

Occupation: Auror
---BACKGROUND---
Heritage: Muggleborn
Family: Her father was Captain Malcom Alleyne of the British SAS, (deceased) her mother Adeola, a Petty Officer of the Nigerian Navy (deceased), her muggle brother, Alexander, is a Corporal in the British Army.
History:
Malcom Alleyne came from a military background, so it was only natural that he would eventually join the British armed forces. He rose to the rank of Captain, and was eventually sent to Nigeria as a peacekeeping force for the UN. While on a routine inspection of a ship, he met Petty Officer Adeola. Against procedure, he secretly met her in private, and eventually when his posting ended, she went back with him to Britain. They bought a house in Manchester after they married, and first had Miranda, then Alexander three years later.
Naturally, Miranda was destined for the military. Unlike most mums, her mother trained her to be a leader, loyal to her commanders and disciplined. Because of this, she never made many friends in school and was often rejected because of the strange things that happened around her. Money would disappear, shoes would change, harmless things that people blamed on her, calling her a thief. She tried to explain to her mother (her father was often away on call) but her mother, being a sensible woman, could make no sense of it. She knew her daughter wouldn't lie to her, but was disturbed by the odd happenings.
Everything changed when she turned 11, when a messenger came from the school with the Hogwarts letter to explain the situation to both her parents. At first they were scared, then delighted when they realized their daughter could advance to a higher degree of national defense they could never dream of achieving. There was no doubt in Miranda's mind she would be an Auror. She left to Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor, but because of her stony attitude and desire to the best, she didn't make many friends, yet again. However, she earned many House Points which gained her respect from the Gryffindors and became a Prefect, it was only because of her anti-social attitude she was never made a Head Girl. In her OWL's, she achieved O's in Defence Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures and Charms, an E in Transfiguration and Potions and an A in Astronomy. When she presented this to her mother and father, they confirmed for her she had to do better.
She trained and practiced mericessly, and began training for Animagi. She gave up her social life and practiced during the holidays to the best of her ability. By her NEWT's, she was achieved O's in Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures and E's in Charms, Astronomy and Potions. Her parents agreed this was more than acceptable, and she soon applied to become an Auror. She passed with high marks, and within a few years of training, became a tiger animagus. For the next five years, she trained in Leglimency while performing her job to the best of her ability. Just last year she finally grasped the concept of Leglimency.
She respected Dumbledore greatly, so when he claimed Voldermort returned, she was eventually accepted into the Order of the Phoniex and was at the Battle of the Ministry. When the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, she was tracked down and imprisoned in Azkaban and kept there for a few months. Since her time there, she has grown an unnatural, radical fear of Dementors, that often cause her to faint at the sight of one. She escaped before the Battle of Hogwarts, and helped a number of other inmates to escape as well. They regrouped with the Order and, though she missed the Battle of Hogwarts, joined one the battles to rid Azkaban of the Death Eaters and the Dementors. She was wounded in the left arm during the fight, which knocked her out the rest of the battle. Later she was told she would never be able to fully use it again, reaction time would be slower and prone to involuntary spasms.
After the war, she discovered her mother and father had been two of the muggles killed in Voldermort's rein of terror, and also found her brother blamed it on her. She tried to convince him otherwise, but he disclaimed she was his sister. Heartbroken, she left him and now concentrates her full efforts on the most noble and most ill-fated of causes: Revenge.
