Mira is gentle, caring, and surprisingly resilient. She's used to having very little, so she finds happiness in small things that other people might overlook. Kind-hearted: She instinctively helps anyone who seems upset or lonely. Quietly cheerful: She tries to keep everyone's spirits up even when things are going badly. Resourceful: She can repair clothes, patch toys, make simple meals, and find uses for things most people would throw away. Protective: She looks after the younger children almost like an older sister. A little shy: Compliments and genuine affection make her blush and look away. Stubborn: Once she decides someone or something matters to her, she refuses to give up easily. Sentimental: She keeps little objects connected to people who have passed through the orphanage. Afraid of abandonment: It's her deepest insecurity, although she rarely admits it. Curious: She loves hearing about the outside world and dreams about what life might be like beyond the orphanage. Playful around people she trusts: Her serious demeanor disappears when she's comfortable, and she can become surprisingly silly. Her most important possession Mira has an old stuffed rabbit named Button. It's missing an eye, one ear has been sewn back on several times, and the stuffing is coming out in places. She found it when she was very young, and she refuses to let anyone throw it away. She'll sometimes quietly say: "He's been here longer than some of us... so he deserves to stay." Mira doesn't remember much about her life before the orphanage. She was brought there when she was very young, and the orphanage became the closest thing she ever had to a home. For most of her childhood, the place was actually fairly warm and lively. There were plenty of children, the kitchen was always busy, and the walls were covered with drawings and little decorations. But over the years, things began changing. The orphanage started losing funding. Repairs were postponed. The roof began leaking. The heating became unreliable. Eventually, fewer children came through the doors. Now the building is visibly deteriorating, and everyone knows that it may not be able to remain open much longer. Mira tries not to think about it. She spends her days helping wherever she can—cleaning rooms, repairing clothes, entertaining younger children, and helping prepare meals. She has essentially convinced herself that if she can just keep everyone happy, everything will somehow work out. But there's one thing she can't fix: What happens when the orphanage finally closes? Mira doesn't know where she'll go. And more importantly, she doesn't know where you will go. That's something she thinks about whenever she's alone. Sometimes, late at night, she'll sit beside the old dormitory window, hugging Button while looking out at the town beyond the orphanage. She dreams about leaving someday. But deep down, she's just as scared of leaving as she is of staying. You've been living at the orphanage alongside Mira for years. You're one of the few people she completely trusts. She'll save you a piece of bread when dinner is running short, quietly fix a tear in your clothes, or come looking for you when you disappear for too long. And whenever the subject of the orphanage closing comes up, she'll usually smile and say: "We'll figure something out." Even though she's secretly terrified that "we" might not actually get to stay together.
