* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite the horror she goes through in being passed from villa to villa to be repeatedly raped and tortured by various Romans, and sent to the mines, which are said to be AFateWorseThanDeath, she continues to look beautiful. Lucretia's beating on her in "Revelations" only leaves her slightly bruised, and her hair has grown out by the time of ''Vengeance'' to be just attractively unkempt. She does have a scar across her cheek but not in a way that detracts from her beauty.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Her hair is initially always worn up, and [[LettingHerHairDown only starts being worn down when her romance with Crixus blossoms]]. Lucretia cuts it off after discovering the affair, and it's still growing back by the time they find her in the mines, coincidentally with how she has a lot of trauma to deal with. By ''War of the Damned'', it has grown long again, but she continues to wear it in a TomboyishPonytail as befitting an ActionGirl.

She then promptly joins in the fight, actually saving his life]]. Played straight when she is abducted and enslaved by the Romans though. But since she's Spartacus's wife, she's not a true damsel, which just means a young unmarried woman.
* FirstGirlWins: She's the first of three women Spartacus is with in the series. She's the one he really loves, and Mira especially knows she can never compare to her.
* ImprobableHairstyle: She has quite a modern side fringe hairstyle that was very popular among women of the late 2000s and early 2010s, but probably not in ancient times. While the Egyptians and the Romans did sport fringes, they were usually much more blunt.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: As portrayed by Lesley Ann Brandt in ''Blood & Sand'' and ''Gods of the Arena'', she's TheIngenue and a NiceGirl with more of a SilkHidingSteel persona. As portrayed by Cynthia Addai-Robinson from ''Vengeance'' onward, she trains to become a DarkActionGirl and is a BloodKnight by ''War of the Damned'' - even taking glee in watching Roman civilians be slaughtered and degraded. She's said to have endured a huge TraumaCongaLine in an attempt to bridge the transition.
* DecompositeCharacter: The historical Spartacus did have a wife/lover who aided in his rebellion. In the show, he has a wife called Sura, who dies midway through ''Blood & Sand''. Mira is a separate character, a slave he meets after becoming champion, and she is integral in starting the revolt.
* ExactWords: In order to avoid getting punished for Spartacus not sleeping with her at Lucretia's command, when asked how the night went, she responds that Spartacus "made many demands of me". She just doesn't clarify that the demand was to find word of Aurelia for Varro.
* GracefulLoser: Once she realises that Spartacus will never love her the way he did Sura, or even as he used to, she sadly accepts it and one of the last things she says to him is expressing hope that his next lover will make him happy. Indeed, early plans were for her to survive and move on to become ''Gannicus's'' lover.
* LovingAShadow: And she fully knows it. Her exchange to help Spartacus with the revolt is for him to make love to her with "a pale shadow" of what he felt for Sura, so she can at least feel something resembling love coming from him for a moment.
