Background
- Main article: Miranda Flowers
Miranda the Blighted Bloom was a poisonous, man-eating miranda blossom with the ability to summon a downpour of holy light.[1][2] This toxic breed of flowers was said to have been an aspect of the Crucible in an age long past. The powdery, fragrant pollen produced by Miranda and her offspring was harvested by perfumers for use in their aromatics since antiquity.[3] Miranda took root within the Perfumer's Grotto and was later infected with a festering blight. Her affliction spread to the other flowers grown in the cave.
Characteristics
Miranda is a fully-grown miranda flower with pink petals covered in a yellow blight.

Notes

- A Withered Astel also lurks within the Perfumer's grotto. Its head resembles that of a dragonfly, which is believed to ward off poison.[4]
Trivia
- The forename Miranda comes from the Latin word mirandus, which means "worthy of admiration". It also derives from the Latin verb miror, which means "to admire" or "to wonder at".
- William Shakespeare invented the name for a character in his play The Tempest in 1611. In the play, Miranda is the daughter of the magician Prospero. They were sent to die at sea on a "rotten carcass" of a boat but survived and found exile on a small enchanted island.
- Miranda's Prayer, an item cut from the final version of the game, described Miranda as a maiden who became the first miranda flower during an age of the Crucible.[5]
- Malenia and St. Trina are other characters who transform into flowers.
