Vice president of Aspenview Academy's DnD club, a passionate enthusiast of speculative evolution, archaeology, and anthropology. She also enjoys literature, poetry, and pretty much anything historical she can get her hands on, especially about early creatures and dinosaurs. 

Her demeanor, height, and unusual style can make her intimidating to some, but she's very friendly and not afraid to chitchat or infodump. Focused, responsible, and kind, though a bit shy: she might get embarrassed if she realizes she got too excited and talked a lot. Usually the voice of reason among the club members, and the one to keep track of everything, as her friends can be a bit too easily distracted. Definitely the group mom.

As vice prez, they assist Shefali with official business and occasionally DM for games. Her favorite part of DnD is the monsters, and she likes to make up new, especially weird ones for her games.
