Editing Mira (Spartacus) (section)

=== Blood & Sand ===
Mira makes her first appearance as one of the house slaves under Lucretia's service, presenting a selection of masks to [[Licinia Vestalin|Licinia]]. Among them, she dons the mask of the goddess Diana, which catches Licinia's attention. Afterward, Mira and the other slaves are dismissed.

Recognizing Mira's beauty, Lucretia decides to use her to "prepare" Spartacus before his night with Licinia, ensuring the encounter meets Licinia's expectations. Lucretia sends Mira to Spartacus' chambers, where she appears naked, but Spartacus rejects her advances, viewing the situation as degrading and insulting. Lucretia, angered by Mira's failure, threatens her life and orders her to try again.

Mira returns to Spartacus, who refuses her a second time. However, he allows her to stay in his room to give the impression they were together, avoiding further repercussions for her. In exchange, Spartacus requests that she leave the villa and locate [[Varro (Spartacus)|Varro's]] family. Mira successfully fulfills this task, building a foundation of trust between them.

Over time, their relationship evolves from mere acquaintance to a budding friendship. Her success in finding Varro's wife, [[Aurelia (Spartacus)|Aurelia]], further strengthens the bond between Mira and Spartacus.

When Spartacus finds Mira being threatened by [[Hector (Spartacus)|Hector]], who accuses her of stealing, he intervenes and injures the guard in her defense. Later, during the celebration of [[Numerius Calavius|Numerius]]' birthday, Mira thanks Spartacus for standing up for her. However, Spartacus feigns indifference, claiming he would have done the same for anyone, prompting Mira to sarcastically call him "an ass," much to Varro's amusement. Mira witnesses the sparring match between Spartacus and Varro, expecting it to be a harmless display like the rest of the crowd. After Varro’s tragic death, she goes to Spartacus' room to comfort him as he grieves and vents his rage.

Mira is later sent to care for Spartacus’ wounds from his fight with Varro, as Batiatus believes there might be affection between them that could aid Spartacus' recovery. When Spartacus awakens, he sees Mira watching over him, assuring him everything is alright. Noticing the man responsible for bringing his wife nearby, Spartacus demands answers about her fate. Mira obliges his request to unstrap him and keep watch at the door while Spartacus interrogates the man. After Spartacus strangles the man to death, Mira helps cover up the incident by strapping Spartacus back to the bed and lying about the cause of death.

Mira continues to show compassion and loyalty by looking after Aurelia, Varro’s widow, when she begins working in the Ludus. She helps Aurelia adjust to her new life as a slave and shields her from [[Ashur (Spartacus)|Ashur’s]] unwanted advances, reinforcing her role as a protector and ally.

After [[Naevia (Spartacus)|Naevia’s]] banishment from the Ludus, Mira and Aurelia are elevated to the roles of Lucretia’s personal body slaves, taking on more prominent duties in the household.

One night, Spartacus summons Mira to his chambers under the pretense of intimacy. However, he reveals his true intentions: he needs her help to aid the slaves’ revolt by opening the gate separating the ludus from the villa. Mira agrees but on one condition—that Spartacus sleep with her and offer her a glimpse of the love he once had for his late wife, Sura. Spartacus consents, and the two share a night together.

On the day of the revolt, during a grand celebration of [[Gaius Claudius Glaber|Glaber’s]] patronage, Mira seizes her chance. While the nobles of Capua are distracted by a sparring match between Spartacus and [[Crixus (Blood and Sand)|Crixus]], she slips away unnoticed. Using a shard of broken pottery, she brutally kills Linus, the guard at the gate, stabbing him in the neck multiple times. Despite her bloodied dress, she avoids detection.

When the gladiators launch their rebellion, Mira successfully opens the gate, enabling them to storm the villa and massacre the Roman guests. Following the violent uprising, she escapes alongside Spartacus and the other freed slaves and gladiators, solidifying her role as an integral member of the revolt.
