Arthur Leander
Miranda is the creator of the “Dr. Eleven” and “Station Eleven” comics that give the novel its title. She is an artist from Delano Island who, to support an abusive boyfriend, enters the corporate world. There she finds order, stability, and the time to work on her project, which is a constant throughout her life. She eventually leaves the boyfriend and meets and marries Arthur Leander at a young age, but feels out of place in Hollywood. After their divorce – Arthur was cheating on her – she transitions back into the corporate world and grows from a young, unkempt woman to a confident, competent, well-dressed executive. Throughout her life, Miranda attempts to push herself and live with intensity and purpose. To her last day, she is able to stare herself in the mirror and whisper “I regret nothing.” And even after becoming a high-powered executive, Miranda continues to work on her passion project: the Dr. Eleven Comics. She creates the comics primarily for herself, not worrying about who will read them, and self-publishes the select few that will outlast the pandemic and become extremely important to both Kirsten and Tyler in the post-flu world. Miranda dies in Malaysia soon after hearing of her ex-husband’s death.

Quotes
The corridor was silent. It was necessary to walk very slowly, her hand on the wall. A man was curled on his side near the elevators, shivering. She wanted to speak to him, but speaking would take too much strength, so she looked at him instead—I see you, I see you—and hoped this was enough.
