Seraphina takes a deep breath, resisting the urge to tug the elaborate braids from her hair. Her brown eyes are narrowed and focused on the mirror. Of all the people, why was her family invited? She makes a vow with herself. If she got through the night without complaining out loud, she'd treat herself to a glass of wine, a treat she'd been denying herself of lately.
Her eyes skim the length of the insufferable green dress her mother had forced her into, the neckline plunging far lower than she was comfortable with. It was a modest dress, by the day's standards, just not one she would have worn on an ordinary night. Her lips twist as she withholds her negative comment. She sucks in a breath as her mother tugs on the ties, making breathing nearly impossible.
The dinner itself wasn't what had aggravated Seraphina. It was the fact that her parents had decided to go and take her along, regardless of her plans. She'd been planning to hang out with her friends, it was her birthday, dammit. She should not be going to a dinner she didn't want to go to.
Her mother, a woman with beautiful features, but a proud and haughty mannerism, motions for her to take a seat. "Come on. Sit down so the maids can do your make up."
"No." Seraphina's voice is soft, but it makes the room quiet. Her mother looks at her in shock.
"What did you just say?" She asks, her tone sharp.
"I said no. If I'm going to this dinner, I refuse to put on make up. Why hide what I look like when there won't be anyone I know going? It's not like I'll ever see them again after this." Seraphina answers, her voice still soft, not wanting to get into an argument with her mother. Not now. Not tonight.
A knock breaks the glare her mother had focused on her and both women face the door as a maid peeks in. "The carriage has arrived." She says, her eyes on the floor. Seraphina gives a small smile as her mother sweeps from the room, Seraphina following soon after.
The ride is full of tense silence and when they arrive, Seraphina's eyes widen. So this was why she'd had to dress up. Because it wasn't some ordinary get together. This was important.
She steps from the carriage with the help of the driver and allows her gaze to sweep the place. "Here goes nothing." She breathes out, heading toward the building.

I'd love to play one of her friends also forced into going to the dinner, if that's alright. Or a sister. If not, I'm really open to playing anything.
