She opened the door to the shop and held it for her.
Sven was back at his worktable, but he looked up as they both entered. "Ah, Sera! Good to see you, m'dear!" He grinned. "I didn't know you were eith this young lady."
"Indeed I am." Sera dipped her head. "It's good to see you, too; I've just come to help out."

You are going to love some of your characters because they are you, or some facet of you, and you are going to hate some characters for the same reason.
