* Miranda: We've gotten hints that Cerberus may have been able to make MJOLNIR Armor (since they are quite likely the ones who sent Chief the package in "ONI" packaging), and as the Angel of Akuze she may have "saved" the men not needed for additional testing so that the Alliance thought it was just a natural disaster, not a deliberate attack. She was able to take down the Arbiter, which few, if any, non-Spartans of her size are capable of, and she was already genetically modified to be perfect, so she was a good specimen to start with.
** Given timelines, and that Oriana was a younger clone of Miranda, it's more likely the Angel of Akuze was an older clone, because Miranda would be a bit too young at the time.

Con: Unfortunately, she can be a real brat when she doesn't get her way. Plus, no thanks to the Arbiter, her reputation proceeds her to Chief, and not in a good way, and not just because she's TIM's right hand woman.

[[folder: Speculations on Chief's Love Interest]]

So, assuming the screwdriver that Master Chief is straight, meaning that Kaiden and Steve Cortez are out, any speculation on who his love interest will be? Here are some pros and cons for each possible candidate:
[[WMG: Ashley:]]
Pro: Fellow Marine. Atoning for her grandfather being the first person since the Covenant War to surrender to aliens is something that might make Chief take her more under his wing.
Con: Those pesky anti-fraternization rules, plus she's rather obvious fangirl, which is the sort of thing that might turn Chief off.
[[WMG: Liara:]]
Pro: The only person in the original Mass Effect close to Chief's chronological age.
Con: She's still an alien. Plus, in the first game she's incredibly naive, and in the second she's a tad too driven to get Ferron back to be particularly emotionally available. By the time she's ready for prime time during the Reaper Invasion, Chief may have moved on.
[[WMG: Tali:]]
Pro: She had as good a reason to crush on John Sierra-117 as she did on Maleshep. Plus, they could theoretically bond over their mutual needs to be fully dressed in encounter suits.
Con: Unfortunately, that crush may have been killed by Chief's adherence to Alliance secrecy rules, and then there's the fact that she's an alien, too. On the other hand, maybe he can make it up to her...
[[WMG: Miranda:]]
Pro: She's naturally charming, when she wants to be, plus, Chief, being a SPARTAN II, is no less modified than she, so she has much less reason to be insecure around him than she was towards Maleshep.
Con: Unfortunately, she can be a real brat when she doesn't get her way. Plus, no thanks to the Arbiter, her reputation proceeds her to Chief, and not in a good way, and not just because she's TIM's right hand woman.
[[WMG: Jack:]]
Pro: She's basically everything Chief, well, Linda, Kelly, or Jaye anyway, could have been if Reach had been as staffed with @$$#013$ as Pragia and the Covenant hadn't invaded, keeping the Insurrection more of a shades of gray conflict. That sort of thing is bound to cause some shock to him once he's been to Teltin, and maybe find some common ground. And with her biotics, she's one of the few people who could get into an escalating argument with Chief and hold her own, for a little while, at least.
Con: She has more and bigger issues than a lifetime subscription to Sports Illustrated or Time. Even with You Tube playthroughs to help you through it, getting through her romance successfully is a razor-edge challenge with no margin for error, and Chief isn't really Shepard.
[[WMG: Samara:]]
Pro: All of Liara's good qualities (from Chief's perspective) plus the seasoning of age and experience.
Con: But she's still an alien. Plus, she'll still see reason to shut Chief down if he starts making the moves on her.
[[WMG: Kasumi:]]
Pro: Well, it's not totally impossible. She'd have as much reason to be a Chief fangirl as she is Shepard's, at least in Game Two, anyway. And this troper suspects that Kasumi will find that Chief probably looks even better working out than Jacob.
Con: Well, considering that she's an utter and unrepentant kleptomaniac...
[[WMG: Femshep:]]
Pro: Well, if she exists, then unless she has the Sole Survivor service record and was stuck on Earth, Reach, or Arcturus Station shuffeling e-paper during the upcoming Battle of the Citadel, she'll be the third most decorated individual in the Alliance alive (After Chief and Anderson). Definitely closer to Chief's equal than Ashley. Plus, each origin has something in common with Chief's.
Con: Those anti-fraternization rules will still be in force.
