Personality

Strong-willed: Priya is fearless in her duties and refuses to be undermined... especially by male coworkers.

Emotional scars: Years of bullying and not being understood has made her emotionally closed-off. She doesn't cry easily, but when she does, there is little fuss—it's quiet and private.

Disciplined: Lives with purpose, fitness, and survival in mind--established a way of life through routines.

Empathetic, but closed off: Priya cares deeply but doesn't express it. She has a huge heart, it is simply guarded by iron doors.

Independent: not relying on anyone--not even her own parents--for validation.

Righteous: Priya believes strongly in justice...even if it's hurting her, even if it means she becomes isolated.

Appearance

Long hair: Hairstyles show power; structured long individual strands shows her will power.

Athletic build: Years of training have brought her body from girl to warrior's body: lean muscle, sharp reflexes, even a sexy attractive body any boy would be flattered to call beautiful.

Khakis: Wearing it like armor. With a khaki uniform, she had presence, purpose and strength.

Unpainted Face: Doesn't concern herself with make up or fashion. She has presence that draws attention despite wearing no make up.

Eyes: Sharp, observe, and almost always calculating. They miss nothing. But behind the sharpness there is exhaustion - physical, emotional and mental.

Life

Childhood trauma: Bullied in school for her looks. Bullied in school for being non-gender conforming. Grew up each day going to school hearing all sorts of slurs trying to rob her from her identity.

Family pressure: Father at one time wished for a son. Priya spent years of her life proving that she was more than enough.

Mental health: Pets her anxiety and trauma away in silence. Has swallowed pills and pain, and never asked for a pound of sympathy. 

Professional rise: She earned her way to her position with a body of intricate blood sweat and brilliance - not as a favor or owing anybody. Youngest officer in her batch.

Living alone: She prefers living alone. Her room is bare bones of a room with only necessities and books.

MR. THAKUR (Father): Complicated. He is proud of her now, but it always feels like she had to earn his acceptance.

MRS. KULKARNI (Bua): An emotional leech. Is constantly ridiculing Priya's choice, career and appearance.
