A new character has surfaced in the pages of Weekly Famitsu for the upcoming Grandia III. As previously reported, main charcter Yuuki is a restless boy, ready to take to the skies and escape his boring homelife in search of adventure. This is a trait he apparently recieved from his dear mother.

Miranda is the mother of our young hero, and the newest member to join the cast of playable characters in Grandia III. A master of Knives and Herbs, Miranda has raised Yuuki on her own, developing a special relationship whith Yuuki, where mother and son call each other by their first names instread of the standard Mother to Son relationship. So it's only natural that this Opinionated and Straightforward mother stow away on her son's secret Aircraft, to make sure both he and the young priestess Alfina stay out of trouble.
