―Myranda to a brutally murdered Tansy^[src]

Myranda is a recurring character in the third, fourth and fifth seasons. She is played by guest star Charlotte Hope.

Biography

Myranda is a servant of House Bolton of the Dreadfort. She's one of Ramsay Snow's bedwarmers.

Season 3

Myranda and Violet enter the torture cellar in which Theon Greyjoy is kept hostage, release the former Prince of Winterfell and put him on a bed. Then they attempt to seduce him, claiming they have heard the heir to Pyke is "well endowed". Violet claims Myranda was in training to become a septa but her sexual urges kept her from taking the vows. Theon is initially distrustful but cannot help but grow aroused when Myranda, stripped of her clothes by Violet, straddles him.

Suddenly, the girls are interrupted by a horn sounded by Ramsay Snow, who approaches his two servants and taunts Theon, telling him he too has heard about Theon's manhood, he then shows him a gelding knife. Myranda and Violet then watch as Theon is knocked down by Ramsay and held by two men while Ramsay proceeds to castrate him.^[1]

Season 4

Some time later, Myranda joins Ramsay in hunting another bedwarmer, Tansy, whom she is jealous of, through a forest near the Dreadfort. She enjoys seeing the terrified girl being chased by her master's hounds for a while, but eventually shoots her through the leg with an arrow, and moments later watches her being mauled to death by the dogs.^[2]

Myranda engages in sex with Ramsay as Yara Greyjoy and a group of ironborn climb over the walls of the Dreadfort to assault the castle.^[3]

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there's no mention of a Bolton servant named Myranda. The TV series often re-uses established given names from the books for minor characters, because these are names already known to exist within the fictional world of Westeros. The only book character called by that name is Myranda Royce, a noblewoman of the Vale, distant relative of Lord Yohn Royce. However, she has nothing to do with the Boltons.

There are no women among Ramsay Snow's entourage, known as "the Bastard's Boys", who assist him with his atrocities.

Behind the scenes

The sex scene between Ramsay and Myranda in "The Laws of Gods and Men" was originally longer, and included Myranda striking Ramsay across the face as well as throttling him. This moment was cut from the final episode, but can still be seen in the trailer for the fourth season.

-[[Theon Greyjoy]] is released from the cross to which he is chained by Myranda and [[Violet]]. The women put Theon to bed and then proceed to dramatically seduce him. They say repeatedly that they have heard that the heir to [[Pyke]] is well endowed and are hoping to get first hand experience. Theon is distrustful at first, fearing that this is another of his tormenter's tricks. Theon cannot help himself but be aroused when Myranda who has become naked straddles him and begins a rocking motion. Suddenly, the familiar horn sounds and [[Ramsay Snow]] enters. Theon is terrified and tries to escape, but is struck hard on the head and is flung across the room. Ramsay claims he too has heard about Theon's famous body part and announces it must very well be his favorite body part. When the sadistic youth brandishes an odd knife, Theon realizes that Ramsay means to remove his penis. Horrified, Theon begs for mercy, but Ramsay quips that this is mercy as he's not killing Theon, merely altering him. Two large men hold a screaming Theon down while Ramsay moves in to castrate him.<ref>"[[The Bear and the Maiden Fair (episode)|The Bear and the Maiden Fair]]"</ref>
