Maria sighs, stepping into the common room, having taken all of her things to her new dorm room. She already had a bad feeling about this place...it was so out of the way, and it was an all girl school, for crying out loud. She felt trapped, with none of her typical interests even remotely accessible. Another sigh escapes her, and she flops down in a chair, crossing her legs and smoothing out her rather short skirt, the young woman not having bothered to change into her uniform yet. It was her first day, after all, and she wanted to be at least a little comfortable before she really dove into her 'exile', as she liked to think of it.

[Hanaji walked into the commons to grab a cola and some time to to think
when she saw the new girl knowing what it feal like to be new here she
approached this new girl seeing the look on her face said a lot]
<Hi there mind if I sit? So your new here interested in some advice?
this place can and will depress you no end if you don't look for friends,
By the way I'm Hanaji you're?>

Maria blinks as Hanaji approaches her, tilting her head and nodding, motioning to the seat next to her. "Of course..." She says, smiling a little. "I'm Maria...Maria Ashcrofte..."

<So what brings you to this place and don't say your legs?>
