Personality and character
Miriel is a highly-intelligent mage who spends the majority of her free time organizing her personal belongings or observing others' battle techniques. At times, her observations make her oblivious to what is going on around her, forcing others to intervene for attention. Miriel's sophisticated language confuses her fellow Shepherds, but she is willing to clarify the meanings of what she has said. Miriel is harsh towards those who act without thought. The most superfluous packer.

Endings
Miriel, Rapier Intellect (single ending)
Miriel remained in Ylisse but would vanish for days at a time when her discoveries prompted further inquiry. In her final years, these excursions culminated in a historic invention of supreme import.
Robin, High Deliverer & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Many wrote of Robin's legendary exploits, but accounts of his origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone—he loved his wife, Miriel, above all else.
Frederick, Cold Lieutenant & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
As Ylisse's new knight captain, Frederick took charge of keeping the peace and training new recruits. Alas, his wife, Miriel, would often vanish for weeks at a time as she pursued her studies.
Virion, Archest Archer & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Virion returned home to Rosanne, where he was labeled a traitor and a coward, or else ignored entirely. But Miriel's discoveries improved their quality of life, and they soon came to love him once more.
Stahl, Viridian Knight & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Stahl continued his service as an Ylissean knight and led crucial missions across the realm. His scatterbrained gaffes were met with criticism from Miriel, but the two still built a happy life together.
Vaike, Zero to Hero & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Vaike returned to the streets that raised him and was welcomed as a hero and brother to all. He lived out his days with Miriel, whose sharp mind and tongue refused to be dulled by any change of scenery.
Kellam, Oft Forgotten & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Miriel remained in Ylisse but would vanish for days at a time to pursue her studies. In her final years, this research led to a historic invention. Her husband's name has been lost to history.
Lon'qu, Gynophobe & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Lon'qu returned to Regna Ferox and served as Basilio's right-hand man. Miriel went with him and focused her studies on Ferox's unusual weather conditions.
Ricken, Upcoming Mage & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
While continuing to study magic, Ricken realized how childish some of his actions had been. Miriel's intellect inspired him greatly, and together they unlocked the secrets of the universe.
Gaius, Candy Stealer & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Gaius never lost his sweet tooth, though he ultimately returned to less savory enterprises. Miriel soon began researching new and more-powerful sweeteners for her husband to enjoy.
Gregor, Swell Sword & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
After the war, Gregor briefly sank into a life of excess, but when his wife began to treat him like part of the woodwork, he resumed work as a sellsword. Miriel helped out by researching Gregor's targets.
Libra, Fetching Friar & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Many an unfortunate child found joy in the small orphanage Libra and his wife built after the war. The children were said to love Libra like a mother but flee in terror at the sight of Miriel.
Henry, Twisted Mind & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Henry settled down with Miriel and turned out to be a surprisingly good father. Their newborn son grew up surrounded by his parents' vast library, dooming him to a future as a bookworm.
Donnel, Village Hero & Miriel, Rapier Intellect
Donnel returned to his tiny village and built a happy life with his mother and his wife, Miriel. The latter directed her studies on the local flora; Donny was shocked that trees could have ten-syllable names.
