Personality
"Now I see why you don't want to look at this Brian, she was so amazing and warm. Now, she's just...gone..."

"(cries a bit), She knew how I worked and loved me like a good mama would and reminded me never to let anyone judge me by my mixed, racial background..."

- Barnette and Brian while viewing a home movie of Brian as a toddler while Meia watched in silence.

Brian's mother was known for her warm, radiant and patient attitude. She was also very assertive and rarely got angry. Her skills as a teacher carried her attitude to help all students rise to the challenge.

Under the surface, Miranda hid a side she never wanted anyone aside from her husband to know: a sad woman wanting to reassure herself she was a good woman.

In death, her teachings both as a parent and as a teacher continue to influence many including her son Brian.
