PRIYA S. SHINDE

“People don’t wanna be compared to the teenage girl; the teenage girl is hated, teenage girls hate themselves.Even just things like being cripplingly self conscious or overly concerned with our appearance, that’s considered like a teenage girl thing and therefore its ridiculous, it’s stupid, it’s not relevant or legitimate, and you know, what we needed at that age was legitimization and respect and support but all we got was dismissal and “Oh, you’re such a teenage girl.” {x}

family life

There's nothing particularly wrong with Priya's family or homelife. She's had a stable, middle-class upbringing, has two parents who love her, and two siblings who've done no permanent psychological or physical damage. Score!

Neela Shinde (mother): Mumbai-born immigrant, works as a translator for the Dept. of International Magical Cooperation at the Ministry. Wants the best life possible for her children, but it also means she can be as pushy as she is loving. For Priya, it can often feel overbearing, mostly because they disagree and she wants to march to the beat of her own drum. She feels a lot of pressure from her mum to be more like her older siblings, who were more academically-minded, and have more direction than she does.

Nicholas Shinde (father): Manchester-born Anglo-Indian. musician and works in the advertising dept. of the Wizarding Wireless Network. More of the laid-back artistic/creative type than his wife. Priya adores and knows how to manipulate him (in a loving way?). From him, she gets a love of muggle music and mad guitar skills. He's got this sound-proofed room down in their basement full of albums from wall to wall and some of her favourite memories are dancing around with him and Mira while they played them at full volume. If anybody understands that she wasn't interested in conventional academic subjects and things, couldn't sit still long enough to read a book, then it is him. 

Siblings:  Mira (18) and Vik (21). Her older brother is smart and organized but socially awkward. People make him nervous so he likes to avoid them. Her sister, on the other hand, is a much more balanced personality than Vik or Priya -- creative, but down-to-earth; driven but relate-able; sociable and outgoing but definitely a leader. There's this love-hate sort of relationship going on, because as little kids there was this push and pull, this tension, between wanting to be just like Mira and never quite being able to. Priya absolutely idealised her. The two got along well enough, and their personalities overlap and are complimentary, but the love-hate has only intensified with time. She hates that she wanted to be Mira and knows she won't ever be able to and feeling inadequate.

It doesn't help that everybody compares her to both Mira and Vik.For Priya, there’s always a nagging voice in the back of her mind, maybe because her mother in particular has never “celebrated” her uniqueness like a parenting book will tell you to, that whispers about how she's never gonna be good enough. She can never be the daughter her mother wants, the student her professors want her to be, etc.

pisces traits: idealism, intuition, empathy, imagination, creativity, adaptability, gullibility, lack of backbone,  escapism, impracticality, emotional game-playing, inability to say 'no.'

TAG: {x}

When you bring these two frameworks together along with being sorted into Hufflepuff, this is kind of a summation of Priya's personality:

spontaneous go-with-the-flow lover of the fun & beautiful things in life who has a lot of energy. being an extrovert gifted with intuition, she's great at understanding other people as well as interacting with them. This means she has a wide social net, with varying degrees of closeness. But she does care about other people, and loves to give advice. Priya is shit at making plans and lives primarily in the moment, and loves Divination because it can give her direction and possibilities. Structure and routine stifle her, as do negative emotions. She doesn't like to dwell on them, and escapes into materialism and an obsession with romance to distract herself. If she doesn't think about them or talk about them, they don't exist, right? When negativity builds up and becomes overwhelming, Priya will lash out at the people around her. While she prefers to be the peacemaker, she can sometimes be the drama-instigator, especially when frustrated. A follower, not a leader, she'll go along with other people or trends but it doesn't mean she can't "think for herself." People who say that just don't like the decisions she's made, clearly.
