Mira
Golden sunlight streamed in through the window. Mira yawned and opened her eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the brightness gradually. When they felt good enough, she opened them all the way and sat up. When she turned her head and glanced out the window, she saw that the sun was already high in the sky. Mira slid out of the bed and stumbled over the the mirror that was hung on the walls. She looked at her reflection and saw a rumpled dress and messy, tangled hair. Mira felt in her pinny pocket for the comb that she had shoved in there. When her hand closed upon it, she drew it out and ran it through her hair quickly.
After combing her hair and braiding it, Mira smoothed her dress as best she could and walked briskly out of her room. Walking down the hallway to the Common Room, she was barraged with a multitude of smells; most of them made up of cooking food. Upon entering the room, she made straight for the bar where she ordered a plate of eggs and biscuits and a cup of coffee. After sampling her food (and finding it delicious), she scanned the room for any familiar faces. She spotted Lily and Willow sitting at a table with a newcomer, a woman. Picking up her dish and her cup, Mira sang out, "Lily! Willow! Good morning to you both!"
