The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.


 * Kalyani has always been bold and outspoken, but never like when she was raised by Kareena and Ceanna. Initially raised to be a submissive wife, when Kal arrived at the UK it was like she became an entirely new person. She never apologized for anything she did, and though she was always very respectful, learned to never be sorry for what she did or didn't do - not because it was a sign of weakness, but because of what it meant for herself and for others. For long enough had she been silenced, belittled, and taught to concern herself with men's emotions and catering to their every need; it was time for Kal to focus on herself, her wellbeing, and learning to accept and love every part of herself - even if she screwed up along the way. As instinctive as she is bold, Kal tends to act before she thinks. Whilst she has really good instincts that rarely ever fail her, it's a dangerous thing to do when her job usually means she's in a life or death situation at least three quarters of the year. Moreover, she's very ambitious and determined. It's a plus when you're constantly working for the safety of others, but sometimes it evolves, teetering onto workaholic territory. (Try tearing her away from her work. Really, give it a go.) Despite everything, Kal isn't a bad person. She always strives to be kind and makes a conscious effort to keep in mind not everyone thinks like she does. She tries to keep herself open to new ideas and suggestions all the time, though, and never lets herself think she's always right. She's very grounded that way, accepting when she's wrong and taking all criticism in stride. That said, just because she's open to others doesn't mean it holds true for her personal life; she tends to be more reserved about that, but not much so. Like many, she doesn't trust easily, but it's also not impossible to worm your way into her good side and win her over - it's just a matter of figuring out how. (And food & alcohol usually do the trick.) Regardless, even if you're in her good graces or not, Kal is a good person to turn to when you're in dire need of help and/or advice. Though she tries not to be, Kal is very maternal - she was, after all, raised under the belief her biggest accomplishment would be having kids and being able to raise them.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.


 * Coming from a wealthy Indian-Pakistani family, Kalyani Parekh was the kind of girl every man sought to marry. Not lacking beauty, every eligible bachelor was very interested in vying for her affections once she was of appropriate age, but alas, that wasn't what the stars had foretold. The product of an arranged marriage, it was only natural Kalyani's life took an ugly turn. During his prime, her father, Jawahar Parekh, was known across the country for his wealth and looks. Many women sought to become his beloved and ensure they died in the highest class achievable in India's social hierarchy. Very few, however, knew Jawahar was already betrothed to another - a Pakistani woman whose mother had a very special place in the heart of Jawahar's mum. They were childhood friends torn apart too early for their liking, events which led to the union of their eldest children: Jawahar Parekh and Rakhsha Askari. Truthfully, Jawahar's father was displeased with the arrangement, preferring to see his son married to an Indian woman of their same class. Nevertheless, his love for his wife blinded him and he agreed to the marriage, and as soon as both were eighteen, a lavish wedding took place. Immediately afterwards, they began trying for their first child. They were unsuccessful in their attempts for a long time, finally welcoming firstborn Kalyani Zohana Parekh when they were 26, followed by her sister _____ and her brother Eliani. Although it did put a strain on their relationship at first, as their parents continuously put pressure on them to cement their union with the birth of a child, they surprisingly persevered. They hadn't held any love for one another at the time of their wedding, but as time had progressed, they began to grow closer to the point that, six years after their public wedding, an intimate ceremony took place - just them, their closest friends, and immediate relatives.  Kalyani Parekh never lacked anything. She was given everything her heart so desired, and oftentimes had a swarm of relatives and nannies catering to her every need. Nevertheless, she had her mother's heart, and even as a young, perhaps spoiled girl, she never actually behaved like she was at the top of everything. Always a bright child, Kalyani understood her privilege, and knew many had the misfortune of being born into poverty and never being able to grow out of it. Thus, she grew up always being mindful of what she said and how she said it, trying to make sure she didn't accidentally take advantage of her position. For the most part, she was successful - not that it would matter much, because well into her tenth year alive, she went from a rich girl with a promising future (as a wife) to a banished orphan who lived with her disgraced homosexual half-aunt. You see, Rakhsha had a brother who was problematic, to say the least. Constantly getting himself in trouble and making enemies out of powerful people, it was no surprise he ended up marrying a girl in a low class who wasn't exactly as submissive as he'd hoped.  Yaghoub resented his parents for marrying his sister into a better family than they did him, and wanted revenge. He felt he deserved what his sister had, and thus acted accordingly. Lying his way into her home, Yaghoub wound up sexually assaulting his sister in the middle of the night and impregnating her. He didn't think much of it afterwards, leaving satisfied with the knowledge that he'd tainted his sister, and by extension Jawahar and his family's name. He also believed he'd gotten away with it, with raping his sister and intimidating her into silence. He had done what he'd hoped, but he didn't want to face repercussions for it. As long as she and Jawahar knew who had done it, and nobody else, he'd remain content and at ease. Jawahar, for his part, didn't intend to take the situation to the authorities. Not only did he think them incompetent, but he didn't want the situation becoming public. Between both, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He was understandably enraged, knowing what had transpired in his own home and what had become of it, and that led him to do something out of sheer fury: kill Yaghoub.  Shortly after killing him with the help of some of his most trusted friends, Jawahar confronted Rahksha. He gave her no option but to terminate the pregnancy, something she was vehemently against. Not only because of her religion, but because that was her child, no matter who was the father. Realizing she wouldn't relent, Jawahar became angry. He felt she should obey his every word, and shouted as much - something she didn't take to kindly, but didn't yell for. She did, however, refuse to abort her child, to which he responded by murdering her through eighteen stabs, twelve that were to the stomach. It was a gruesome sight that he made sure his kids wouldn't see. He had to play his cards right from that point on if he didn't want to get caught. He knew he was safe for the better part, with friends in high positions within the government, but he had to avoid social suspicion. Thus, he sent his three kids to the United Kingdom in the dead of the night with his illegitimate half-sister, and swiftly cut all ties to them. By paying off several corrupt officers, Jawahar was able to get away with what had transpired, claiming Yaghoub had killed his wife out of spite for marrying into a better family than he did, and he had been able to avenge her, but not without losing his kids to some of his brother-in-law's accomplices.  Although a slightly disbelieving story, Jawahar played his cards right, and found himself married to a younger, filthy rich, submissive wife, creating a new family whilst his three children struggled halfway around the world. Kalyani had been sent with her siblings to live with her aunt Kareena, the daughter of her grandfather but not her grandmother. She was a homosexual, had come out as such years ago, and had consequently been sent away so she wouldn't be killed. She survived, just narrowly, and ended up marrying Ceanna - a tourist she had fallen in love with as a teenager. It was thanks to them Kalyani hardly struggled. She had never been particularly close with her father, but had taken the loss of her mother badly, so having two motherly figures in her life really helped overcome that dark part of her life. Especially lucky that Ceanna was a witch, Kalyani didn't feel lonely when the time came to enroll at Hogwarts. (She'd unknowingly had a magical manifestation at the age of seven, by making the flowers in her mother's garden bloom much earlier than expected.)  At Hogwarts, Kal was sorted into Gryffindor. With an unbelievable intellectual capacity, Kalyani was able to do two years in one, twice over - her first and second years were muddled together, as were her third and fourth, allowing her to graduate at fifteen with unbelievable marks. While she was able to get a job in the Ministry, she was only assistant to the Head Auror. At least until she was 17, when she was allowed to become an auror trainee. Because she became an auror prior to the changes, she only underwent a year of training, during which she excelled, and soon became a member of the intelligence division, where she worked for about twelve months before she transferred to the dark wizards catcher unit. She went through a series of missions, and worked up a good record as an auror, surpassing all expectations as she made arrest after bust after arrest.  Kalyani was just nineteen when she received a medal for discovering, and subsequently arresting, with an assist from several aurors, a group of spies that had infiltrated the ministry and begun to sell governmental secrets. She went undercover at the age of twenty with another 5 field aurors, and was the only one to return alive; even though she was pulled from the case under belief it was now too personal, she assisted in arresting several members of different crime organizations, such as Arcana Alliance and The Black Parade. Her biggest case was a more recent one that caused her to remain away for a year and a half, thus missing the reign of the last three Head Aurors - she had been sent to india on a special case that had ended with Jawahar and his gang's arrest; they were the leaders of the biggest crime syndicate in India, known for sexually assaulting women, trafficking young girls, smuggling western drugs, selling government secrets, and using their wealth to enslave and abuse people of the lowest classes. Returning in October 2039, Kal was surprised with a promotion to Deputy Head Auror for her work and commitment to the British Auror Office.
