To all my fellow Grey's Anatomy lovers, we all relate differently to each character. But there is one character in particular that we all truly love, Miranda Bailey. Miranda Bailey is the one of the few who stays and remains constant through all 11 seasons. She is a kick-butt surgeon, friend, wife, and mother. Here are 12 reasons why we all love, and secretly want to be, Miranda Bailey.

1. She tells it like it is.

3. She is a problem solver.

Even if that means she has to whack a doctor with a patient file.

4. She embraces her emotions and is not afraid to express them.

6. She always puts others before herself, even on her wedding day.

7. She pushes those she cares about to be the best they can be.

8. She knows what she wants.

9. She says what everyone is thinking.

10. She saves lives, every day.

11. She's incredible, brilliant, beautiful Miranda Bailey. Who wouldn't want to be her?
