Sidekick Saturday [27] - Unlucky

Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week's type
• Share a picture (if possible) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment

This week is Unlucky

My choice is Miranda
The Shadow Falls Series by C.C. Hunter

Miranda is a dyslexic witch who befriends Kylie and Della at the Shadow Falls Camp. She's their roomie and often gets into cute bicker-matches with Della. The reason that I like her so much is because of her flaws. Since she is dyslexic, she is often mixing up her spells. She has a frog that pops up out of nowhere and she turned Kylie's cat into a skunk. She gets so frustrated with her mistakes, but really they are what make her who she is. Also, she is not so lucky in the love department. She thinks she's making the right choices, and he thinks he's making the right choices, and they just aren't meeting in the middle.

Quotes:

“Wow," Miranda said, "You'd better be careful Della. In the last few days, I think you've used up your vampire quota of apologies for the next ten years."

"Kiss my apologetic ass!" Della snapped.

Friday morning, Kylie, Miranda, and Della, each carting suitcases, walked the trail to meet up with their  parents. They walked slowly, like condemned prisoners moving to their executions.
“I’m going to be peeing on a drug test stick every hour,” Della muttered.
Miranda sighed. “I’m going to screw up at my competition and my mom is going to give me up for adoption.”
“I’m going to a ghost hunt,” Kylie added. Both girls looked at her.
“Don’t ask.”

“Take some very deep breaths," Miranda said. "Relax. Concentrate. Then envision a frosty six-pack and wiggle your pinky."
A frosty six-pack. Kylie inhaled. She held out her pinky, and right then Della chimed in. "We are talking a six-pack of soda, not a cold guy with good-looking abs, right?"

There was a strange kind of sizzle in the air. And suddenly appearing in front of the refrigerator was a shirtless, shivering guy with great abs. His blue eyes studied the three of them in complete bafflement.

"What the...!" he muttered.
Kylie gasped.
Miranda giggled.
Della snorted with laughter.
