History


Date of Birth: December 7th, 1982
Home: Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, India
Family: Arpit and Kumari Saraswati (parents), Vineet (younger brother)
Comrades: Adri Gan Khon, Dalal Ghanam, Ravi Dattavalaram, Jilal Dattavalaram, Bo-Jing Qi, Cai Shou, Jun Ng, Rakhi Jijotiya, Xuan Wuhan
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (though her family was caste-scheduled as Untouchable, they were not dirt-poor or homeless, both worked hard in factories while unaware of their Makara heritage; luckily, Daya exhibited a great talent for dancing early on and it scored her enrollment in a traditional Jaipur-styled Kathak dance school, which was run by a Makara Kin, whose Trueblood boyfriend occasionally visited and noticed Daya's spiritual lineage)
Key Event #2: Personal Tragedy (carefully and quietly, this Makara boyfriend introduced Daya to the lore of her true people, and as a young woman, she would be encouraged to choose a mate among his peers; this put her off immediately, and she fled to the US to escape)
Transition: Shift in Nature (she danced her way across the country to make ends meet for a time, arriving to Little Asia's burgeoning Indian district in Kansas City; there she met Dalal, fell in love, and despite herself started a family with this Makara musician who gladly provided her musical accompaniment; despite their caste differences, they made their romance work, and they even had a daughter together named Kalinda in 2006; she found peace and security with he and the Beast-Court in general)


Significant Other


Name: Dalal Ghanam, 2004
Nature: Romantice

Dalal




Weakness
High Class, Low Caste


Daya may be Untouchable but she dances through life like a Brahmin. Nowadays, most people don't care about caste. But some still do, namely among people she wishes the most wouldn't.

Likelihood of Corruption

Very low.

Daya is kind and pure-hearted and lives among her Makara and Zhong Lung people. Pity the Yomi devils who dare target such a creature of grace and gentility.
