Shefali

Name: Shefali Aradhya

Also known as Prez

Age: 16 at series start, 18 at end

Species: Human

Pronouns: They/them, mer/mers

The lively president of the Aspenview Academy DnD Club: professional daydreamer, dungeon master, deep sea enthusiast, swim team member, and self-proclaimed mermaid. Probably the most sporty and athletic of the club besides Kiera.

Dreamy, to the extent they often get distracted or lose track of what people are saying. Often found off in their own world spinning around, or obsessing over something they're fixated on– weird sea creatures are a big one. Sociable, friendly, and energetic, but still introverted, they tire after too much social interaction. They read often, mostly manga and comics, but novels and encyclopedias about the ocean too. Sensitive to overwhelming situations and loud noises.

As club president, they take care of official business and DM for most of the games. Their favorite part of DnD (and fantasy media in general) is the magic systems, which they put a lot of effort into overanalyzing and perfecting for their games.
