Miranda Hobbes aka Cynthia Nixon Miranda is smart, self-assured and proud of her achievements. She raises the bar for herself continually - be it in her professional or personal life. She made partner in her law firm and was able to buy her own pre-war apartment on the Upper West Side. However, she's struggled with her love life and at times, abandoned the pursuit of love altogether. Tough and down-to-earth, she doesn't open up easily, masking her vulnerability with cynicism and self-deprecating humor.
