[color=Forestgreen]▼ [b]| PHYSICAL   DESCRIPTION : |[/b] [/color]
[indent]It's not difficult to tell where Kashmira was born and raised. Her facial features and skin tone are distinctly featured from the Indian-sub continent (the southern area, of course), and she speaks with a [i]very[/i] thick Indian accent - however she dresses more "American" than a walking stereotype (that's only for special occasions). The girl seems to carry herself with caution in mind, she usually takes slow steps but most of all watch her step. She usually keeps her hands together in front of her, or at her sides. A lot of people get the idea that she's rather tense given the way that she carries herself and the fact that she's very easy to startle. It's not the case innately, but she unintentionally gives off that kind of impression. 

In terms of build, Kashmira is a very small girl at just an inch below five-feet due to genetics alone. The girl finds it easy for herself to get into small spaces but always find it incredibly hard to get noticed. She's extremely slim, bony, even due to a mixture of her diet and the fact that she practices yoga every day so she gets plenty of exercises. She doesn't have a whole lot of muscle-tone nor does she have a lot of body fat, but what fat she does have is merely padding for the girl. She has some curves with 36Bs and some hips, but nothing that'd make heads turn. India is a very diverse place, and Kashmira has roots from the Keralite people (and other Indians mixed in but they're rather distant). Her skin tone is a little dark but nothing major and she has a very pronounced nose with a large nose ring, and her eyes are large and a brown color - packing a striking gaze within them. Kashmira has long shoulder-length hair that's a dark brown color and is very well-maintained, and it's naturally a little wavy - she doesn't keep it in any style.[/indent]

[indent][indent]

[color=forestgreen][b]Doctor  ⫻[/b][/color] Kasmira is a fully trained and licensed Doctor who has an encyclopedic book of knowledge in her head. She can identify any common ailment almost instantly and any uncommon one after thinking about it for a little bit. Don't expect her to perform field surgery though if someone got disemboweled. At best, she'd figure out a way to stop the bleeding enough for actual medics to arrive. She also keeps a supply of bandaids on her at all times.

[color=forestgreen][b]Trilingual  ⫻[/b][/color] Kashmira grew up in India all of her life, and thus the language that comes easiest to her is Gujarati, and you can find her speaking it on phones or accidentally slipping into it. However, Kashmira also took classes in Hindi and English, so she's fluent in both languages.

[color=forestgreen][b]Cooking  ⫻[/b][/color] Kashmira's mother taught her how to cook since she was young and by the time she was thirteen she was cooking meals for herself. It's helpful because Kashmira doesn't eat meat.

[color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | BACK   STORY : | [/b][/color]
[indent]To begin, Kashmira was born in and grew up in India to two loving parents, but she had a twin sister Rashmika. Her family tree is quite complex because her grandparents had thirteen children, and she is just one of a legion of grandchildren. Growing up in Ahmedabad, life wasn't particularly hard for the girl, she grew up playing and hanging out with the other children and she was raised to be a devout following of Shaivism. Her early life wasn't particularly eventful other than the fact that she learned English and Hindi while in school in order for her to effectively communicate with other Indians. Life was going to as ordinary for the girl; she was going to grow up to become an amazing young woman that would strive to achieve Dharma. However, [i]it[/i] came to Ahmedabad, the Beast, they called it, Kasmira now realizes that the thing had shaped her modern life. A powerful Metahuman that had been rampaging across Europe and Asia for decades and went on a rampage in her home city. It was a violent experience that haunts Kashmira, and worst of all she was separated from her parents. 

As a little girl wandering through a destroyed city was a chilling experience that Kashmira really does not want to experience again. However, she noticed a red light coming from one of the buildings and wandered inside... and found a really weird red crystal. She grabbed the crystal and stuffed it into her pocket, and eventually was reunited with her family after the coast was clear. Given that her home was destroyed she found herself living with her uncle's family in Hyderabad until she got a new place to live. She held onto the crystal but felt oddly strong when holding it, and while playing with it, she had inadvertently caused a chunk of the building she was in to fall off. It was a scary experience, but she realized that she had done it with a bit of experimentation and realized that she can control stone. Eventually, she showed her twin Rashmika, and also showed her the crystal - but upon contact with the crystal, her entire body started glowing with a red energy. Eventually, Rashmika manifested with the ability to create and control wood. 

They practiced with it and inadvertently attracted the attention of all the wrong people. When Kashmira was walking home from school, she took time to stop at her favorite place to kick a soccer ball. There was no one around... until she eventually smelled smoke and turned around to see Abel himself, smoking a cigar. The girl was terrified by the titan, but he stated that he meant no harm and that he tracked a Delta-Crystal to the area and asked her if she knew anything. The young Kashmira merely shook her head and Abel pressed on. In the end, Abel went on his way but she was terrified by the experience, so she ran home and grabbed the crystal and threw it into a river hoping that would be the end of their problems. However, they just started - the next night strange men were hanging around their household, and eventually made a move and broke in and held the family captive, demanding the crystal. Kashmira, out of guilt for starting the whole mess, told them that she threw the Delta-Crystal away. 

Abel soon made his appearance and requested that she lead him to it. So, Kashmira walked through the streets of Hyderabad with the world's most feared terrorist walking behind her. The streets were cleared by his mere sight and the police, military, and Metahuman regulation had no clue what to do without endangering Kashmira. Eventually, she let him to where she threw the crystal and he walked into the river and after a moment he came back with it. He merely walked past her, cryptically saying "We have come to terms." before walking into a portal and his REAPERS pulled out. Her family was heavily questioned by the authorities, but ultimately they couldn't get a lead on the elusive REAPER organization. 

This was, among other reasons, why the Sarai family ultimately made the decision to move to America - where Kashmira's grandmother lived. They settled in New York, Staton Island, and life wasn't the easiest for the family at first - given that Rashmika and Kashmira are the only two in the family that knew more than a small amount of English. They eventually got a job at a restaurant that Kashmira's uncle had, and Kashmira, once she was of age. Though Kashmira and Rashmika finally met their grandmother in person at last - the aging woman, Hanumanta, was one of the first Metahumans in India and told her granddaughter about all the adventures. Most of all, she gave Kashmira a necklace with the shard of a red Delta-Crystal in it and stated that it boosts the power of whoever wears it. She also explained that she used it when she was younger, but now that she's aged she has no more use for it. Kashmira nearly rejected it out of fear of Abel, her grandmother insisted that it was a dark, cold, harsh place out there and that she needs every tool in her disposal to survive. The words resonated with Kashmira given her encounters with Abel, and chose to take the crystal - only to use in the most desperate of all situations.

She had problems progressing through American school at first, but in time she hit her stride and became a grade-A student through sheer dedication alone. She wasn't exactly one that fit in with Americans, but she found common ground with other Indians... though, she still felt like an outsider from time to time. This stride continued from grade school all the way through college. Kashmira was a very compassionate woman, one that wanted to help people where ever she could. Part of her wanted to become a therapist, but she realized that her true calling was the medical field. Which is where she worked her ass off to meet deadlines and had to put off advancements from her fellow classmates until she managed to graduate and pass her bar exam.

Her entire family congratulated her, but she figured that it was time for her to move on and become her own woman... besides, New York was far too cold for her! Kashmira applied to places all over and eventually, a hospital in Charity City decided to give her a call. She didn't even remember applying but if they were calling she took her ass straight to Charity Beach. Eventually getting herself acquainted with her new surroundings and a nice new apartment just for herself. 

Though, Kashmira wants to follow her grandmother's footsteps and be the start of a massive family that'll hold her in high regards![/indent]

[color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | POWER   CLASSIFICATION : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Type-Red[/indent]

[color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | POWER   DESCRIPTION : | [/b][/color]

[i]Stone-Manipulation.[/i]
[indent]Kashmira's main power she received on contact with the red crystal, she's capable of manipulating all forms of stone; whether natural or artificial. At it's most basic her manipulation allows her to move and shape the earth, however her control is a more refined version of it. Instead of raw power her ability primarily focuses on [i]precision[/i]. While she can't cause a landslide or collapse a building with a snap of her fingers she can create functionally anything out of stone. She can erect walls, pillars, spikes, and more out of the group, and send chunks of stone flying. Kashmira finds it easier to control smaller stone than larger pieces. Kashmira has to do this through body motions, so she can launch objects out of the ground by stomping her foot and can knock over stone pillars by casually pushing her hand over. It can it any body movement, as it's a connection between her power mind and body. Kashmira has a ton of potential with her ability and has plenty of advanced techniques in her arsenal. Such as creating weapons/armor, flying using her ability, and controlling sand.[/indent]

[color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Kashmira's Stone-Manipulation has a painfully short range - around sixteen feet of herself, but she can best control stone that is closest to her. Kashmira has the easiest time manipulating smaller pieces of stone than larger chunks. So that example of her erecting a pillar out of the ground? It would be very tiring and straining on the girl. As stated before, her ability is more focused on precision than raw power so she has an easier time shaping a stone surface than making earthquakes. Seemingly, she feels as if her power is more focused on creativity than destruction. Her stone manipulation requires contact with the ground or contact with the stone surfaces. The purity also plays a part as the stone that's diluted with other elements such as concrete is harder to control. [/indent]

[color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Kashmira has a lot of potential and physical strength that can't be ignored, and FAMA classifies her as a high-level threat. However, Kashmira is a mighty-glacier, she has a lot of strength, but it requires that she's slow-moving or immobile in order to use her power. Mixed with the pathetic range and the fact that she's not too fast herself, her power will leave her helpless if she has to deal with a faster moving opponent. Using her ability causes nausea, physical weakness, and more - which gets even worse if she tries to do an extreme feat. Due to the fact that stone is heavy, it's very difficult to use the ability in the first place and far more tiring than other elements.[/indent]

[i]"Everyone is seemingly born with... uh, what was that phrase? "Growing pains"? I hope with compassion we can get through these "pains" before they get worse, much worse."[/i][/center]
[indent]Kashmira was raised as a devout follower of Shaivism and has no intentions of changing that. She is a vegetarian and refuses to eat meat on the grounds of said religion. 

Kashmira's grandmother gave her a necklace that has a Delta-Crystal woven into it, and she keeps it hidden safely in her apartment. She's afraid of it, but will not hesitate to use it in the case of an emergency.[/indent][/hider]
