*Dado shows up at the subsection of the Mirage Arena. Hopefully, this will prove itself to be good training in his quest.*
Bonnie
*A heartless' dark corridor orb appeared off to the side of the arena. But instead of a heartless oozing out of it... It was... A woman? As she slowly reached the ground, the ground beneath her feet froze over with a light layer of frost. She held her fist off to the side and clenched it, as ice formed into what looked like a mage's staff.*

*Each of her breaths were visible, as if it were a cold winter day. When she noticed the arena she had appeared in she looked at everyone and almost shied away, hiding her face under her big sunhat.*
Michael
*He eyes Akyra cautiously, aware of what Heartless spawns sound like. But didn't the weird girl mention something about Dark Corridors back at Modgink's Tower? And the woman doesn't appear to have the trademark beady yellow eyes... Maybe she can be trusted. Plus, since when are Heartless shy?*

*He smiles and nods at her, giving a small wave. A good test.*
Bonnie
*She remained hidden underneath her hat. She spoke, but her words were softly spoken and cold, like a winter breeze.*

**"** *...It might work out the best for both of us if you were to just ignore me until the fight starts...* **"**

*It was true, her eyes didn't appear yellow, nor did she share the darker color palate that most other heartless tend to share. Yet, anyone with the ability to sense hearts would be able to tell that this woman was a creature of darkness.*
Michael
"Right. Sorry." *He turns away.*

*Self-conscious. Seems to have something to hide, which could be a bad sign. At the same time, though... This is his party member for now. Vaguely ominous or not, he needs to work with her.*

*He gets into his combat-ready stance: holding Kingdom Key close at a tilted angle, like a bat.*
Bonnie
*Peering out from underneath her hat, she noticed the keyblade. She made a kind of a quiet eep noise and pulled the hat back over her face. She knew what those things could do to her.*
Michael
*He smiles. Her mannerisms are cute. He'll have to make sure to avoid spooking her throughout this fight, though. Probably best to keep a healthy distance.*
