Miranda Isabella Sanchez is a fictional character from the Disney Channel TV series Lizzie McGuire.
Family
It is stated in many episodes that Miranda and her family are from Mexico and they follow all its cultures and holidays. The Halloween episode shows her family celebrating The Day of the Dead. She also knows some Spanish when the gang attempt to go on a Spanish game show, but not enough to be very helpful.
She is shown babysitting a baby sister in one episode; this is the only sibling she is portrayed as having in the series, but a planned spin-off for which a pilot episode was filmed but never aired featured Miranda's sister, Stevie Sanchez, as the title character and made her just a few years younger than Miranda.
Near the end of the series, Miranda appeared less in the show, although she appeared in the final episode. She was, however, absent from The Lizzie McGuire Movie, which went to movie theaters in 2003.
Her absence in The Lizzie McGuire Movie was due to her vacationing in Mexico.
