Rainbow Six Siege - In Depth- Operator Profile - MIRA

Revision as of 14:42, 22 December 2019


"For most people I'm a relief. But for you, I'll be a nightmare."
— Mira

Dr. Elena María Álvarez, codenamed Mira, is a Defending Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, introduced in the Operation Velvet Shell expansion alongside Jackal. She is the acting Research and Development Director of Rainbow.

Biography

Working alongside her father in his mechanics store from a young age, Álvarez can find the weaker spot on any machinery and turn it into an edge. She joined the police force Cuerpo Nacional de Policía so that she could be of service to those in need of protection, and thus serve her country.

Proving to have stellar strength, endurance and knowledge of vehicles sparked her progress in the ballistic field. She joined the Grupo Especial de Operaciones (GEO) to develop and test bulletproof materials on the field as well as enhancing bridging vehicles.[1]

Psychological Profile

Abandoned by her mother at birth, she was raised by her father in Madrid. Being an only child, she found her purpose working for the family business.[2]

Gameplay Description

Mira can punch her Black Mirrors through walls, reinforced or not, to create a one-way view to the other side. This allows her and her teammates to look out from the safety of the air-compressed glass. If the Defender attending the Black Mirror wants, they can break the gas canister to create for themselves a murder hole.

  • Mira's Black Mirrors are specialized reinforced glass-breaches that are immune to oncoming gunfire, allowing her team to safely observe an Attacking operator without risk.
  • Mira can deploy her Black Mirrors on any breachable wall. She can place them at crouch height or head level, and can even place them over the border between a reinforced and non-reinforced wall.
  • Deploying a Mirror takes 5 seconds.
  • Mira has two Mirrors, and once deployed, they cannot be removed through normal means.
  • Mira can only deploy the Mirror on the "deployed" side of a reinforced wall.
  • Non-reinforced walls cannot be reinforced if a Black Mirror was deployed first.
  • Mira can place the Black Mirrors at an elevated height if she is standing on an elevated surface while doing so.
  • As a one-way mirror, the Black Mirror is see-through only from the side it was deployed from.
  • The Black Mirrors can eject their bulletproof window by breaking their gas canister. The gas canister, located on the deployment side, can be destroyed by either gunfire, melee or, in more extreme cases, explosives such as Nitro Cells and Impact Grenades.
  • Breaking the canister releases smoke and a loud noise that can be heard on both sides. The window will be ejected after a four-second delay, creating a viewing port that players can shoot through. Note that the window's borders will still remain.
  • There are four anchors on the Black Mirror, two located at the top side and two on the bottom. Should they be destroyed by a thermal breaching gadget, the black mirror will be instantly and completely destroyed, not leaving behind a border.

Synergies

  • Mira works well with Operators like Mute, Bandit and Kaid as their gadgets are able to prevent Attacker gadgets from destroying the Black Mirrors if deployed on a reinforced wall.

Counters

  • Twitch's Shock Drone is capable of shooting its shock darts and destroy Black Mirrors' gas canisters.
  • Thermite and Hibana's gadgets, when deployed on a reinforced wall with the Black Mirror, will destroy the Black Mirrors.
  • If the Black Mirror is deployed on a non-reinforced wall, destruction of the wall around the Black Mirror will remove the Black Mirror with it.
  • Because of the nature of the Black Mirrors, Blitz and Ying, as well as any Attacker with a Stun Grenade, are still able to blind Defenders through them.
  • Maverick's Breaching Torch can take out the locks of the Black Mirror, destroying it instantly provided he knows where they are exactly located.
    • Maverick can also create a small hole underneath the Black Mirror, allowing him to shoot the gas canister and eject the black mirror easily.

Elite
  • "I was two years old when Papá first took me to the museum. I asked to visit my ‘yaya’ so often that we went every Friday, rain or shine. I think it helped him to get me out of the garage! But as I grew up, those visits became less and less important."
  • "Now, looking back on her life, I realise I know so little. My earliest memory is of her smile, but her dreams, her desires – her fears – those are all missing. What I love most is the light her memory brings to my father’s eyes. She is still very much alive in his heart. Now, whenever I visit, I spend hours listening to him talk about her, trying to capture that light for my own."
  • "The death toll of a war never tells the whole story. It says nothing of the casualties that occur after the treaties are signed. Bad habits, old wounds, memories – these kill so much more slowly. We can never understand, but we can remember and maybe, God willing, we can keep such a tragedy from ever happening again."
  • "They say time heals all wounds. What does it do for those that never began to close in the first place?"
  • "The past gives us a lens through which to view our future. Inspiration and opportunity come from introspection and observation."

Trivia

  • Mira was first teased in the Operation Red Crow Mid-Season Reinforcements website, and later officially introduced in the Operation Velvet Shell expansion as playable character alongside Jackal.[3][4]
  • Mira means "look" in Spanish. The similarities between "Mira" and "mirror" are notable as well, as her gadget is called the Black Mirror.
  • Mira was the lead engineer that created the specialized ballistic shield for Tachanka's LMG.[5] She, alongside Twitch, also worked on the creation of the CCE Shield for Clash.[6] She also designed Nøkk's HEL device, and potentially Ash's M120 as well.[7]
  • Mira has gone through many confusing changes in her basic information.
  • Mira's original name was Elena Álvarez Del Manzano. This later changed to Elena María Álvarez. The original name is still used in some official materials, and the Ubisoft website displays her name as Elena Maria Alvarez del Manzano.[8]
  • Mira's original date of birth was stated to be on November 18, 1971. The year was later changed to 1977.
  • Even her height changed from 1.78 meters to 1.65. If this had remained, she would have been one of the tallest female operators in the game, but is now among the shortest.
  • Mira developed a rivalry with FBI SWAT Operator Eliza Cohen following Operation Blue Orion.[9]
  • On Mira's Season Invitational charm (titled "Mira's Family), the coordinates 40°26'04.0"N 3°43'45.0"W are inscribed as well as the words "Tu Padre" (meaning 'your father'). The coordinates lead to a park in Madrid, Spain.
  • In Nokk's concept art #5, Mira is seen working on her gadget with the quote "Always a pleasure to see another professional at work."
  • Mira, Finka, and IQ all collaborated to refine Warden's Smart Glasses.
  • Mira finds Warden a nuisance for repeatedly asking her to develop new styles for his Smart Glasses.
