Miranda Jahana

The Woman Behind The Woman during Advanced VG. She's a Corrupt Corporate Executive bent on creating and mass-producing the ultimate fighting machine for a purpose that isn't very well elaborated on. To this end, she used her own daughter (Reimi) as a testbed, putting her through Training from Hell, abusing her when she faltered and never once praising or letting up on her when she succeeded. After she decided her daughter was of no more use, she discarded her and went into seclusion, controling things from behind the scenes while using the tournament to test out her "Hybrids", Designer Babies made to carry out her orders. She's killed when a Combined Energy Attack formed by Yuka and company collides with her personal jet.
