Aruna Ramanathan

Living at the time of the end of British colonial oppression in India, during the 20s and 30s, Aruna is very distrustful of authoritarian bodies who wish to tell him what to do, without his consent. At 26, he's experienced, yet still idealistic and noticeably warm natured. Aruna is friendly to most, though mustn't be mistook as naive. He's intelligent and sharp witted, and will take no remorse in harming those who wish to stifle his good willed wishes. Being from rural colonial India, and furthermore, a lower caste, Aruna is especially proficient in farming, and knows how to use a variety of tools. Whilst his farming skills are highly proficient, making friends has been one of his hardest hurdles to overcome.

The tea leaf farm Aruna worked on had brutal overseers, especially if one happened to be of a lower caste. Working for the East India Company, the conditions were terrible, and worker satisfaction not exactly something the 'superiors' cared for. As a result of this horrific treatment, and Aruna's somewhat mischievous, elusive nature, he managed to avoid a few hours work and slip into a nearby forest, as he usually did. Upon arrival, however, the pond of which was usually covered in beautiful, green lilies was now replaced with a blindingly white reflection, seemingly of the sun. As Aruna approached, a buzzing began to fill his ears. Everything went weird, internal to the mind perhaps, and then it happened. Aruna arrived. Suddenly arriving at this mysterious place, Aruna is deeply troubled, but willing to try to start again, and perhaps finally kindle what he were lacking back home.
