Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:
Other than the obvious earlobe piercings a girl usually has, Ananya has her nose pierced (but rarely wears any nose rings unless its a special occasion such as a wedding). Ananya doesn't have any tattoos, yet, but she wishes to have one on her wrist but hasn't decided on the design.
Personal Style:
Ananya has the look of childish innocence. Wide face, large doe-like brown eyes and full pinklips always curled into a soft, welcoming smile. Her cheeks still have an element of babyfat, giving her the youthful look she has, and with the way she styles her long dark locks? Instant youthful look. She has fairer skin than those in her family, hinting at her non-active lifestyle. She is a petite girl - not helping with her childish appearance - with a hourglass figure usually extenuated with the fitted kurtis she usually wears.
Ananya's style is strictly traditional. She wears and always has been wearing kurtis and salwar kameez in varying shades, colours and patterns. Though in her recent years after leaving her home in the state of Bengal, Ananya has been experimenting with more western clothing such as tank tops, dresses and skirts.

Personality:
One way to best describe Ananya is a deer; small, elusive and easily frightened. Life for Ananya had always been about independence and hard work, each trait awarded with either a materialistic reward in the form of some new books or clothes, or a family outing to a place of Ananya's choice - though the latter was a lot rarer. Individuality didn't matter to Mr and Mrs Sharma, it was all about the amount of money stored in the bank account at the end of the day.
This oppressive environment was enough to grow a streak of rebelious behaviour within Ananya, buried deep where it could not cause any problems. Ananya's love for cooking comes partially from her inner rebellious self - one she satisfies by working at the hotel as a chef for some extra cash during and after college. Ananya loves to have fun once she's out of her little bubble: usually coming out during cooking or in a party. Though usually the end result of the party usually includes Ananya feeling guilty for going against her parent's wishes, and making up to them by studying twice as hard for her course.
Ananya is a big dreamer, wishing to be a chef rather than a doctor as her parents want her to be - but her weak nature forces her to keep silent against her wishes, forcing her to go along with her parent's dream without complaints. One day, she hopes to be able to tell her parents of her career plans, hoping that they'd accept her rather than push her away for going against them.

What Brings You To India:
Ananya has always lived in India. Granted, she was originally from Calcutta and the move to Jaipur was definitely a strange and shocking one. Ananya moved to try and escape her parent's oppressive nature, though it hasn't worked very well - but hey, at least they're not breathing down her throat every minute. Ananya took residence in the Best Exotic and eventually got a small-time job as a chef in the kitchens to help out the staff whenever possible, helping her grow her own skills as a chef in the meantime.
History:
Originally born in Calcutta (now known as Kolkata), Ananya was the forth child to two highly successful people. Her mother was a doctor at the local hospital, while her father was a highly influential politician. Her home life wasn't the most cushy and loved filled one, but Ananya never had anything missing from her childhood. Sure, her parents were busy and were often not home due to their busy jobs, but Ananya's brothers were enough to keep the young girl entertained for the first decade of her life. Ananya's three elder brothers were often both protective and dismissive of her, either wanting to keep her away from their 'cool games' or to protect her from other potentially dangerous children (even though it was just an exaggeration on their behalf, and they didn't want to admit that they actually wanted to protect their mousey little sister).
One thing Ananya was taught growing up that success was everything. Without a good education, one couldn't get a good job, without a good job, there wouldn't be enough money in their bank accounts and you wouldn't be marriage worthy if you were broke. Ananya's parents were strict on her education and were often harsh on her if she got anything less than a perfect score. It was a similar story for her older siblings, which brought the children together as they grew up over the years. Success was such a big thing for her parents that they even decided which career path the children would take: the boys would study engineering at the best college while the girl would study to be a doctor. It was set from their birth, and one that Ananya absolutely hated growing up. There was no way to go against their wishes, as proven by her eldest brother Rohan.
Rohan wanted to be a writer rather than study engineering. It was obvious, from his high scores in his English essays and creative writing skills compared to his other subjects, but it was a skill that Ananya's parents ignored. They pushed him, trying to get him to refocus and think rationally but Rohan was as stubborn as they were. Ultimately, Rohan committed suicide as a way to end everything - leaving Ananya alone in her bubble as she slowly realised that she also wanted to go against her parents wishes, to become a cook.
Ananya helped out the nanny (who was also the cook) as much as possible during her teenage years, hoping to learn the skills required to be a good chef. The nanny was the only one who knew of Ananya's dream, and often encouraged it behind her parents' back by letting her help in the kitchen, or to even cook some of the meals once she was ready. With the added pressure of her education, Ananya grew to be a hard-working individual - passing her Senior Secondary Examination with 92% in most of her subjects and clearing the entrance exams for her medical college in Jaipur.
In order to help Ananya grow as a self-sufficient individual, Ananya's parents decided to let her choose her lodgings as long as she kept up her high marks in college. It was easier said than done, but Ananya finally chose to stay at the Best Exotic. Eventually, Ananya took up a small role in the hotel's kitchens as an intern to help both herself grow as a chef, and to help the hotel in any way she could.

Underneath the skin there's a human

But I think I'm dying here
