Hello! Vic again, this time with character number 5: Durga. Known in this lifetime as Pratima Kirmani. Durga was a great warrior who defeated ultimate evils with weapons and gifts loaned from the head gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. She also rode a lion. Pratima doesn't have a lion, but she has a pet tiger! In India. Don't worry.
Anyway! Pratima is 19, is a double undergrad in theology and Asian studies, lived in Jaipur until she was 14, moved to America. Wealthy and spoiled, but very religious (yes, she's Hindu). Both parts naive and incredibly wise (Durga's technically had lots of reincarnations. I mean Kali popped out of her forehead - wuuuuut). Bubbly and happy but tough as nails. You'll catch her at Montenegro Hospital, watching MMA meetings, participating in ballroom dance and fencing.
Warrior Goddess: Pratima isn’t primarily a fighter, but that aspect of her is too great to not be somehow effective. As a warrior of goodness and light, she instills a warrior’s spirit in others. She is very much a muse in that sense and can bring luck and fortune to those who battle with honest intentions. It also applies to herself when and if she ever chooses to fight.
Happy Days: Durga was known for her powerfully positive spirit and, when laughing at the demon Mahishasur, she caused a great earthquake. Pratima’s laugh has similar strength. General laughter automatically makes people feel better, happier. But get her really going and things begin to shake as though there is a minor quake.
Glowworm: The closer she is to a tortured, bitter, or enraged person, the brighter she glows.
Sheli has graciously offered up a character she's working on as Pratima's ex-boyfriend. ♥ It's also canon that Baldr and his family briefly stayed at her estate in Jaipur when she was child. Like said in extras, if anyone else wants any similar visitation lines, feel free. Pratima's entering her third year so all kinds of lines are open. But she spent her whole summer visiting family back home in India.
Also, I'm going to be a the hospital tomorrow, spending the night with my sister who just had surgery, so I'm going to be slow on updating!
