* {{Slut}}: Fletcher gets away with truthfully roasting her as one in front of the law firm committee. Given how quick she was to [[InstantSeduction seduce]] Fletcher after witnessing his lying skills, an educated guess can be made that this is probably not the first time Miranda lusted after an AmoralAttorney.

However, it doesn't just prevent Fletcher from being unable to lie, he must be honest at all times and can't be dishonest in any way.
