Meenakshi Banerjee
Nickname: Meena
Birth date and age: 21st July (18 years old)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In Depth Appearance:Standing at five feet, five inches, Meena is considered to be of average height for a female from Aarudhya. She has a thin, wiry frame which is always standing tall and proud, her head held high and posture moulded into perfection. She has thick, dark brown (almost black) hair, reaching midway to her chest in loose waves. Her face has often been compared to her mother's, both sporting the same sculpted jawline and full, rosy lips. She also has somewhat large brown eyes, the only thing similar to her father.
In her kingdom, Meena always has to give a well-put together appearance. She is always found either sporting traditional Indian clothes: varying in different styles and colours, or wearing western dresses. Her constant media following has given her the reputation of a style icon in the younger girls of the kingdom, inspiring them to follow her actions.
Personality:• Reserved • Dutiful • Perfectionist •
Meena was raised with stern words and an iron hand. Any rebellious behaviour was dealt with straight away, and any good actions were rewarded by the approval of the media - which was everything to her parents. Meena strives for her parent's approval, never speaking out of turn and always doing as she was asked, including going along with the arranged marriage. Meena doesn't have the courage to speak out against her parents, even if she finds them in the wrong.
She also has a constant need for everything to be perfect and cannot stand it if something is out of place. This can include furniture in her room, to her appearance. Due to her reserved nature, she doesn't actively seek out people to socialise with, content with just either a good book or a few close friends. Meena has always been considered the "serious" child, compared to her more free-spirited older brother. She follows with her parents' no-nonsense attitude to behaviour and is content with her life now, even if she does secretly wish for some more freedom.
As a child, Meena had grown up with various etiquette classes, one of the lessons being dancing. Since then, Meena had always found comfort while dancing, even in privacy. Her parents encouraged that passion, often reminding her that her future husband would want a wife who could be both graceful and smart.

Biography: Aarudhya has always been known as the farming kingdom. From common vegetables to exotic fruits, Aarudhya's farmlands have it all. With plentiful rain and relatively good trading agreements with other kingdoms, Aaryudhya didn't need to worry about money. However, Aarudhya was never always this quaint: the rise of a greedy tyrant leader several generations ago caused many to lose faith in the royal family, leading to many smaller rebel factions rising within the kingdom and eventually driving the tyrant and his family out of the kingdom.
The Banerjee rose to power not too long after the tyrant's escape, and have been repairing the damages done by the previous royal family ever since. From securing trade lines to giving benefits to the local farmers, the Banerjee family slowly began winning their people over, eventually being accepted as the kingdom's new royal family.
But the small rebel factions from before still refused to follow the crown, planting seeds of doubt into the people's minds. The Banerjee family have always been treading on eggshells because of them: one wrong move, and everything will be over.
Meena is the second child to King Rumesh and Queen Naina Banerjee, her older brother destined to take the throne from birth. While Meena will not take over Aarudhya as a ruling queen, she was still expected to follow the strict rules of society and her family alike, burdening her with expectations and responsibilities until she was the 'perfect' daughter. Her parents are strictly traditional Indians, preferring the princess to be more homely while the prince to be more active and... well...
manly.

Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me.
