More images?
I was just looking up images of Miranda around the web, and there's a pathetically small number of them around, and those few available are endlessly circulated. Does anyone have additional images or screen captures that may be used for this page?Fire Eater 23:01, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
I agree. there are a few images in the Halo Encyclopedia that could be used.
Mother
According to the journal from the limited and legendary editions of Reach Halsey is Miranda's mother. someone who has the information should add it to the article. FATGUNN 23:39, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Why would Miranda's surname be Halsey? If Jacob was her father, then she should have been born as Miranda Keyes. Template:Arby116Sig
Her parents did not marry, and she lived with her mother. Its been stated that her relationship with her father was never great. VARGR 13:06, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Her surname would still not be Halsey. There is insufficient proof that says so. All we know is that she had her name legally changed but we are never given her birth name. Her birth name could be anything. It could even be Miranda Curtana...- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 13:12, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry if I'm behind but.... That's why Miranda looks so damn similar to Cortana!? Template:EM Sig
Yes it's even mentioned by Halsey in her journal that Cortana looks quite like Miranda. The fact that she mentioned this at all means that Halsey has a genetic relationship with Miranda, otherwise such a comment would make little sense, with Cortana being derived from Halsey's brain. ---dky 22:26, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
Just to be clear, when any child is born to an unwed mother, the child takes his or her mother's last name by default, so Miranda would have been born Miranda Halsey. Like Miranda did, the child can obviously get the name changed later, but taking the mother's last name is the norm unless the mother is married (in which case the child automatically takes the father's last name). Also, there are subtle details in Halsey's journal that are far more definitive in demonstrating that Miranda is indeed her daughter than what has been discussed so far - just got to pay more attention to some of the scribbles Halsey writes on the margins of her journal.

you guys know that this is 500 years in the future and naming conventions at this time probably don't all follow modern english naming conventions. therefore your arguments are invalid.--

Miranda Keyes and Crow's Nest
In the opening cutscene of Crow's Nest, we see Miranda Keyes has already been in the base. How long has Keyes been in command of the base or even there? Does anyone know? Assuming she got off of Delta Halo (along with Johnson and Arbiter) shortly after Tartarus' death on Nov. 3, and she got to Earth relatively close to that date, and knowing that we see her in Crow's Nest on Nov. 17, is it safe to say that she was in command of the base for like a week?
Date of Birth
I understand that the new Essential Visual Guide lists Miranda Keyes date of birth as February 28th, 2525, however Dr. Halsey's journal suggests that the rendezvous which led to her conception took place in November 2524. If that's the case it's one hell of a short pregnancy (3 1/2 months). I suppose it's possible that her tryst with Keyes took place 6 months before she got around to writing about it, but the language and writing style of the entry seem to imply it was a recent development. Finally, Halsey writes on March 9, 2525 about having to switch to decaf coffee, suggesting she was still pregnant at the time. Any potential explanations for this discrepancy?--

- Maybe she knew Jacob for much longer than we thought (eg. He had assisted her for more than just the John inspection).-- Forerunner 12:43, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

Image of Miranda from Halo 2 in Gallery
Could someone please replace the picture of Miranda squinting in the gallery with a better and less awkward looking one? Actually, why is she squinting in the picture to begin with? --RadicalEdward2 10:19, 2 December 2011 (EST)
Rank discrepancy
I heard a while ago that Keyes is listed incorrectly in the Visual Guide as a Commander. Is this correct and is she in fact a Lieutenant Commander? I changed the page a while ago to reflect this and it was just changed back.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs
