Talk:Mira

I don't mind speculation, when relatively substantial evidence is presented to support. Growling at Eddie isn't enough to place Mira as the dog Eddie shot. Eddie was a dog-killer and Hostile to James. Enough reason for the growl, to me.

As such, I saw nothing wrong with 97.106.47.54's revision, hence my revert. --TheGoodman 09:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I specifically said 'might' and added the other version. AlessaGillespie 09:45, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * How's that? --TheGoodman 10:00, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's fine. I wasn't trying to make a big deal out of it, just pointing out that I wasn't blatantly putting speculation without marking it. AlessaGillespie 10:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Gender
Have the creators ever stated that Mira is a "he"? I understand that English is a masculin language, but Mira is a girl's name, and is very uncommonly found in boys (even in the Japanese language). So, don't you think that Mira should be called a "she"? That is, unless the creators have stated that the dog is a boy. Have they? Jiyanamiki 01:32, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've always thought it was a female, also. Either way,though, I think it's just a matter of people usually calling non-humans "he." Still, I'm fairly convinced it's a girl.Alchemillahospital 10:34, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, Mira just seems like a girl to me. I guess it should be left as a "he" for now, since we don't really know what Mira's gender is. I shall add the theory of her gender to the Trivia. Jiyanamiki 20:25, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Mira pic
If anyone ever gets a chance, could he/she take the picture of Mira from the infobox and change the background to clear? I'm not yet experienced enough with Photoshop to do this. Jiyanamiki 01:39, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Name
Is there an official source referring to the dog as Mira? I am trying to verify that this isn't just a fiction passed around by fans (similar to a lot of the sexual frustration stuff) after this Tweet:

All I could find is special thanks notes from japanese SH2 OST. And it's mira not Mira. But in the game files and Art of Silent Hill its called inu.

 * It appears to be one of those "murky canon" things that have become canon. No one really knows if Mira's name and gender was revealed by an official source (before the series became western) or fan canon, or if someone thought the name Mira sounded female and so thought the dog was female. It's not that dissimilar from "Eric Lake" and "Tina Townshend" from The Arcade back in the day, who knows where their names originated. It could've just been someone trolling. The name "Mira" referring to the dog seems to be the common name for it in the fanbase. Regardless, Mira is named as such in Book of Memories and her gender is revealed there, meaning this is now official and what this wiki must use. You could always talk about this in a Trivia point. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  18:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
