She was a pretty normal girl with a pretty normal life (for this town) until around the time she turned fifteen. Then, she began to hear voices and know things that nobody else heard or knew. She tried to keep these secrets to herself, but she could only contain her new reality for so long. Some called her crazy, some called her a blessed prophet, some called her a witch, and a few of the more educated townspeople used the word "schizophrenia." Her parents tried to support her as a "blessed prophet" at first, but they never really believed her or respected her worldview, and they became frustrated when Aaranya's behavior grew increasingly less "proper." About six months ago, some sort of turning point happened. Rumors say Aaranya committed some sort of terrible crime, though the exact crime is unknown, with many different versions going around. Her parents disowned her and she went to live with her older brother. About one month ago - an intentionally short time, so the person involved would have little time to rebel or escape - Aaranya was randomly (supposedly?) chosen as the next Sacrifice. Other: Aaranya is quite aware that her mind does not work like others' minds. She has figured out some ways to manage her situation, but sometimes she has outbursts of strange behavior. On the other side of the coin, Aaranya has low self-confidence and poor ability to "believe in herself," as she knows that her beliefs don't always line up with everyone else's world. She is usually quiet and gentle, preferring deep thought over shallow words. Though her family was not very spiritual growing up, she has found solace in Hindu traditions and assigns the voices in her head to different deities. Aaranya's greatest passion is poetry. She loves to read and write poetry in her free time, and before her... [i]selection,[/i] her dream was to learn multiple languages so she could read even more poetry in its original form.
