Character Introduction

1. Gauri - A strong girl who likes to 'princess-carry' her friends. She maintains a healthier lifestyle by sleeping and getting up early which is unachievable for her friends. Her best friend Aparna's linguistic incapability usually drives her mad; yet she is quite quick to accept the pricking misfortune of being her friend. She is really bad at directly saying no to people and so falls in a pit of immense psychologically stressing situations. She is good at doing heavy jobs as well as household chores. She isn't the type to plan any action in a scrutinized fashion. Rather she prefers moving ahead in straightforward way. Though altogether headstrong, she can be often compromising and encourage adjustments within their friend group to avoid any sort of inconvenience to anyone. Like her another friend Swarangie, she too keeps no grudges and is extremely forgivable unless someone holds a great nuisance value in her life. She helps others with all her might even if it is noxious for herself. She doesn't like beating around the bush and likes to talk in the most casual and understanding way.

Strengths : Handling Aparna more efficiently than others, correcting Aparna's language errors, Fluent in Japanese and Korean, Has good physique, Painting, Singing

2. Aniruddh - An indifferent kid with mediocre qualities. He rarely speaks lovingly, most of the time giving reality checks to his friends. He pretends to be uninterested but ultimately gets willingly or unwilling involved in every bullshit his friends do. He never falters from his principles which govern the maximum aspect of his personality. He is outright obstinate about his opinions and can dispute over something he disagrees for hours without the slightest tinge of exhaustion. He prefers to be logical and rational most of the time and avoids doing anything that is unnecessary at a particular juncture. But quite a lot of times, he gives in to the pleas of his friends and joins the bandwagon. He likes to mock Swarangie for being a kid, but can get very protective of her if needed. He totally despises believing things that are out of scientific shade which end up with him being in constant verbal conflict with their friend Vedanti who enjoys paranormal stuffs. He is usually diplomatic and polite while speaking, but can actually speak the most unwanted and hurtful thing at the wrong time uncovering his dark and garbage-like side of personality. He is generally bad with kids and claims to hate them; but can actually handle the childlike members of his group well.

3. Aparna : The snarkiest and laziest person in the group. She is originally a low energy human and prefers spending time without much of a chaos. Her signature colour is black and likes to be cool. She frequently roasts everyone with her witty remarks and thus considers herself to be elite most and interesting person in the group. She survives the whole college day on coffee and lazes around during lectures on the last bench. Though she usually denies doing everything that she considers to be bothersome, she too ends being involved involuntarily in her group's astonishing schemes. She finds Vedanti and Aniruddh weirdest of all and repeatedly talks about removing them from the group because of their clashing vibes. Overall she is fed up with the phenomenal frenzy of her friends but still tags around just because she finds them amusing. She expects nothing sensible from her friends and thinks she is the most sensible one, though always disagreed by others. She is close to Gauri as they both have a better chemistry with each other.

She is usually chatty and can talk for hours anywhere without caring a tithe about the listener. She gets nervous while performing in front of an audience but tends to cover it up using her naturally cute expressions. She is good with gadgets and softwares. Her friends like to set occasional pranks for her, but being not as foolish as her friends presume her to be, she never really falls for it. She treats everyone fairly good. However she often does not think through some situations, mainly involving emotions and ends up in a quandary.

She is easily affable and good at cooperating with everyone. She likes to especially make fun of Aniruddh's acting skills, believing that she herself is good at it.

She is adept at taking things sportingly and knows her boundaries well. She loves sunflowers which are her inspiration of positivity. She isn't really possessive about her friends in general, but gets extremely displeased when someone treats her friends poorly.

She is lazy but can cope up with her work even after procrastinating for a long time. She is normally very bubbly, but her sensitivity nerves can charge at any unpredictable point of time causing her to cry.

She knows everyone's character and secrets well and wisely remains silent about things that are better unsaid. She is another one with stubborn personality after Gauri, Aniruddh and Kshirja.

He has a habitually smiley face but hides a guileful side of his personality beneath it. He is inclined to comfort his friends whenever they are having a hard time and tries to come up with a solution for their problem on his own. He is good at teaching but sometimes messes things up due to his authoritarian manner. He too like Shreya likes to personally take updates from his friends about how they are doing.

She gets easily possessive of her friends if she faces any rival within the emotional proximity with her friends. She is another favourite target of Aparna when she is in a really sassy mood.
