Back in 1998, Miranda was a senior about to graduate while Nadal was a sophomore. Lin describes Vanessa as “mathematical, opinionated, a great dancer, and independent” at the time.

He couldn’t go out and speak to her as he says he was very shy when it comes to talking to women who he found attractive.

They both never came across each other and talked and it remained the same for seven more years. In 2002, Lin-Manuel came across Vanessa’s interest were hip-hop and salsa. Two major components of his work.
