"Not so pretty now!"
―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 is one of Ramsay Snow's bedwarmers and his secret lover.

Season 3

VioletMyranda

Violet and Myranda.

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 later 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]

Season 5

Myranda accompanies the rest of House Bolton to their new home, Winterfell. She is present when the Boltons and their household gather at the castle's main yard to greet the newly arrived Sansa Stark and Petyr Baelish. She watches as Ramsay greets his new betrothed, Sansa, with obvious jealousy and anger.[4]

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.

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there are no women among Ramsay Snow's entourage, known as "the Bastard's Boys", who assist him with his atrocities, and there's no mention of a Bolton servant named Myranda.

There is a character named "Myranda Royce" in Sansa's storyline in the Vale - a noblewoman who actually becomes friends with Sansa while she is pretending to be Littlefinger's bastard daughter "Alayne". Though she doesn't know it, Myranda is actually a cousin of the Starks. Myranda is slightly annoyed at Sansa that she ended up being betrothed to Harrold Hardyng, when Myranda wanted to marry such an eligible young knight. Myranda gently mocks her about about stealing away Harry, but they remain good friends despite this.

The TV writers planned to condense the Vale and Bolton storylines since back in Season 2, so maybe when Myranda was introduced in Season 3 her name was made "Myranda" as a slight nod to the books - if not simply re-using a name - though the only slight similarity is that Myranda Royce was playfully envious of Sansa for getting betrothed to a young man she hoped to woo herself, while the Bolton servant Myranda is a common bedwarmer that is violently jealous of Sansa for a marriage that Ramsay's own father arranged.

The choice of name for TV-Myranda might be a brief nod to an omitted plotline from the novels, but otherwise she is not even vaguely similar to Myranda Royce (who has never done anything remotely sadistic); she is more of a gender-swapped equivalent to Ramsay's cronies known as the Bastard's Boys.
