[[User:Mira_Oubliette|Mira Oubliette]], or Mira, is a [[Female|female]] [[Homo sapiens sapiens]] of undisclosed age. In order to preserve [[WP:NPOV|NPOV]], Mira often refers to herself in the third person. While Mira was named after [[Mira]], the two are not to be confused.

Mira is a fourth generation American of German and Swiss ancestry. Her German ancestors did not teach their American-born descendants any German due to hostilities towards Americans with German ancestry during both WWI and WWII. Other ancestries include Scottish, Irish, Norse, and Czech.

===Etymology===
[[Mira_(given_name)|Mira]] is the Latin feminine nominative form of "mirabilis" which means "astonishing" or "wonderful". This is the basis for the modern English word "miracle".

Oubliette is a French noun based on the verb "oublier", which means "to forget". The -ette suffix indicates a diminutive form of the base word. Therefore [[Oubliette|"oubliette"]] means "a little place to forget", which in modern usage refers to a type of dungeon that can only be accessed by a small door or hatch from high above.

==Early History==
Mira was a frequent user of [[Main Page|Wikipedia]] before creating a user account. Since she accessed Wikipedia from multiple locations, editing without an account would have resulted in multiple IP addresses. Once she created her account, she became a stealth contributor who corrected grammar and typos when found. Soon, she began adding citations in articles when needed and was able to find a reliable source. She is still learning to [[Wikipedia:be bold|be bold]], although it is becoming easier as time passes (and as she learns more [[Help:Wiki markup|Wiki markup]]).

After spending a marathon 72 hour session editing pages in her namespace, using pages as sandboxes, Mira found it much easier to [[WP:be bold|be bold]]. The first article Mira made significant changes to was [[Theta1_Orionis_A|Theta1 Orionis A]], and is working on creating the page [[Theta1_Orionis_B|Theta1 Orionis B]]. The next page she plans on creating is [[Theta1_Orionis_D|Theta1 Orionis D]].

===To-do List===
*[[Theta 1 Orionis D]]
*[[Theta 1 Orionis E]] - is is [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] enough to warrant a page of its own? Visible with moderate to high-end amateur optical telescopes and easily visible in [[infrared|IR]] due to a dense dust cloud, unlike A-D. Where was that source...
*[[Family of choice]] - article doesn't exist and is becoming increasing important in societies where increased geographic mobility, rejection of an individual because of LGBT status, past abuse by a family member, or other factors.
**[[Fictive_kinship|Fictive kinship]] - a term used by [[Anthropology|anthropologists]] and [[Ethnography|ethnographers]] to describe forms of [[kinship]] or social ties that are based on neither [[consanguinity|consanguinal]] (blood ties) nor [[Affinity (law)|affinal]] ("by marriage") ties, in contrast to ''true kinship'' ties.
**[[Consanguinity]] - the anthropological term for "Family of origin".

==Userboxes==

Soon after creating this page, Mira discovered userboxes. She may or may not have too many of them.
