Mika
The person outside would be met with a shriek of surprise as their knock disturbed the otherwise peaceful night, a shriek that launched the neighbor dog into an agitated frenzy. Was it a thief? Would a thief knock? A murderer perhaps, a murderer might try to cozy up to her before stabbing her. It wasn't July, July was at work. It couldn't be her landlord, she'd paid her rent two days prior. The neighbors wouldn't knock on her door, it caused shrieking and dog barking. It had to be a stranger, and why would a stranger want to knock on her door except to murder her?
Fully convinced of her impending doom, Mika was only further spooked by the fact that the intruder knew her name. She scrambled to grab a weapon, the first thing to enter her hand being a short mystery/romance novel she'd been reading earlier. It wasn't exactly a heavy book, but it was something. Clutching the book tightly, she made her way across the carpet to the door. She double checked that it was locked and the chain was in place before standing on her tiptoes to peek through the peephole (Mika wasn't particularly short, but the peephole was placed a little high). The person outside was a young woman, probably of similar age to Mika's own. The peephole made it hard to tell, but the woman must have been at least seven feet tall and very muscular, Mika was certain the murderess could bash down the door easily if she wanted.
The murderess was wearing a yellow hoodie, baggy enough to easily conceal a gun or a knife, maybe even a sword. Her brown hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail, probably to keep it from getting spread around the scene of the crime. Her eyes, a brown or perhaps slightly golden color, were looking away from the door, in the direction of the barking dog. Mika was certain she saw a murderous glint in them, the woman clearly wanted to silence the dog in addition to Mika. Mika couldn't see the woman's hands, as they were buried in the pockets of her hoodie, but Mika knew that they had to be wearing leather driving gloves, that's what all murderers wore in her soap operas to keep the police from finding fingerprints.
Hesitantly, Mika decided to open the door. If the murderess could bash it down, there was no point in trying to keep her out, maybe Mika could placate her somehow if they talked. She undid the lock, triple-checked the chain, and cracked the door ever so slightly. She kept her body well behind it, with only one eye peeking past. "Hello, I'm Mika, did you need something?" She asked in a nervous whisper.
Mika could now see the murderess more clearly, and realized that the woman was in fact only slightly taller than herself and, though the baggy hoodie largely concealed it, actually rather scrawny. Mika now regretted opening the door, she could have pretended not to be home and maybe the murderess would have left. But it was too late now, she was going to die if she didn't find some way to talk the murderess out of killing her. Mika remembered what July had said last time, "Mika, this is the fourth solicitor you've tried to bludgeon to death with a book, if you don't want to buy their stuff, just close the door in their face." The door slammed shut without giving the woman a chance to figure out what Mika had whispered and Mika went back to the couch, clutching the book to her chest as she tried to pay more attention to the TV than the door.
