A disheveled Octavia looks at herself in the bathroom mirror.
I’ve been having trouble drawing faces in the past week for some reason, especially faces from a front perspective, but this one came out fine I think.
As for why she looks the way she does, I figure she did something drastic and is unsure of her decision after the fact.

Beauty isn’t easy.
In all seriousness, I can see her spending a good while standing there, staring at herself in the mirror before Vinyl came up from behind, wrapping her forelegs around her and planting a big wet one on her cheek.
She’s always there to pick her back up.
