Miriam is the third Vocaloid installment from Zero-G and was released on the 10th of July, 2004. Her voice is based off the popular British singer, Miriam Stockley, who is also the lead singer of the band, Adiemus. Miriam's programming surpassed her previous Vocaloid counterparts, Lola and Leon. Improved functionality was implemented into her which lessened the time for a Vocaloid user to produce a more realistic sound. In addition, Yamaha mentioned on their website that Miriam's synthesis quality was much better.

Unlike previous Vocaloids Leon and Lola, Miriam was also released at the same time as Virsyn's Cantor software and comparisons between the two software were noted. This put Miriam at the time at a slight disadvantage in her original time of release, as Leon and Lola did not have competition at the time and Vocaloid was not yet a popular software. Cantor was considered a far greater Synthesizing tool than Vocaloid and was able to do what Miriam could not offer; this impacted Miriam's sales.
However, this was not Miriam's only problem. For a period she, along with Leon and Lola, were not on sale due to the lack of interest in synthesized voices. This lack of interest was owed to the sudden change in indie music trends. After increased interest began to occur in vocaloids and renewed demand, Zero-G began reselling Lola, Leon and Miriam from their own website via their virtual shop. According to Zero-G, the 3 may also get a redesign in the future

# She is the only one of the Zero-G vocaloids whose voice provider is known, Zero-G does not normally name their voice providers for legal reasons.
# Miriam, Lola and Big-Al were featured in the freeware RPG "AD Lucem
One of the few lesser known additions of her fan image is her character item. Upon entering Miriam Stockley's webpage, a tube of lipstick would pop up on the screen which then writes out Miriam's name. For this reason, her character item is thought to be a tube of lipstick.

Personality
from what i can gather when Miriam was younger she was quiet and shy but as she got older she became a tough strong willed individual who, wile never looking for a fight, is not afraid to. Although she maybe tough she hasn't lost any of her feminine charm ,if anything her slightly withdrawn nature make her more mysterious and alluring.
