Miri

The oldest daughter of Megan, Miri was the more level-headed one in the family. The beautiful, maturing woman on the planet Antilla took on the role of mother to the younger siblings; necessitated by the death of her mother at Cylon hands. When not taking care of the younger children or keeping Kyle under some type of control, she fought the "tin cans" (Cylons) fairly often, riding on unicorn-like creatures. When Starbuck crash-landed on the planet, she and her siblings managed to liberate and take care of the injured Warrior.

Miri had taken interest in the Warrior, however her hopes were being shattered by the spiteful Kyle, who forced her to place a note in the Cylon-held castle for an exchange between the Warrior and her father. Starbuck, with some assistance from the love struck Miri, managed to convince Kyle otherwise. They quickly planned an assault on the castle as well as an escape plan to get Megan out of Cylon hands. Miri and Starbuck managed to liberate her father from Specter, the devious IL-series commander, and eventually defeated the Cylons themselves.

She stayed behind on Antilla, much to the disappointment of Starbuck, who replied that she would have broken the hearts of many warriors on the Galactica. (The Young Lords)

Portrayed by Audrey Landers

Notes

Interestingly enough, Star Trek had a Miri in the episode "Miri" that was much similar to Battlestar's Miri. Trek's Miri had a similar relationship to Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), but it was considerably toned down than the events depicted in "The Young Lords", due to Miri being played by vixen Audrey Landers and the time period (1978-79). Additionally the situations that both Miris were placed in were quite similar, with both being considerably level-headed and managing to help the leads of both series with their respective mission -- survival.
