Miranda has raised nervousness and anxiety to an art form. She's spent her entire life being a perpetual screw-up, believing that she is useless. When we first meet Miranda she is depressed, gloomy, and utterly believes that she is a complete failure. Her default reaction is panic.
But, after becoming an exorcist, Miranda began to pull out of her perpetual state of failure, and became less gloomy and depressed. She is no longer as nervous as she once was - but, she is still much more anxious than the average person. She often worries about whether she is doing the right thing, or about her friends.
Due to her life spent being a failure, Miranda has a low sense of self-esteem. Because she feels insecure and useless, she often assumes that everyone else also thinks she is useless – even when that is not the case. As such, when she does screw up (or thinks she has) Miranda will apologize profusely, and attempt to repent in some ridiculously excessive way – such as jumping into the ocean.
Despite her many failures in the past, Miranda will keep on trying - even when she knows she cannot succeed. Sometimes this tendency makes her depressed, as she thinks that it might be better to just give up, but it also makes her extremely hard-working. The one thing she desires more thank anything else is to be helpful, and given the opportunity - and the support - Miranda will put everything she can into her task.
And when the safety of the people important to her is at risk, Miranda will be even more hardworking: to the extent that she will put her own health and well-being at risk to protect others. She hates to see people hurt, particularly her friends, and she will do anything she can to protect them. But when Miranda is unable to help someone, such as due to the limitations of the Innocence, she will feel her inability keenly and wish she were strong enough to do so.
