The Female Protaginist of My Novel

 21 November 2025

First when I endeavored to write this novel, I was inspired by Flute Ramani'z Marugelara in a train taken from Trichy to Chennai. 

Many years back, again when travelling to trichy. I chanced upon a woman somewhat in her mid 30s. She wore a sort of Bengali Kantha chocolate color printed saree. Slender profile and thin skin.. 

I imagined she wore the the namam on her forehead.. slender Tikka on her forehead.. 

Had beautiful thick black plaited hair. A very beautiful side profile. 

What was her aura like. 

Initially I imagined a very serious and reserved aura. 

I later changed my plans. I wanted a sort of lively demeanor. With a Wheatiesh to.bown skin tone and eyes that speak. I was reminded of Nandita Das. 

 But with regard to the aura of the person, I still wanted a very deep, intrinsic poetic yet with the times sort of an aura. 

I was reminded of the champa flower. Something like that. 

Anyway this is what my female protagonist looks like. 

Fine what are her values. 

I loved the idea of poetic grace and a subtle imagination. In her days of solitude, she plays the tambura. I imagined 'Dance of the wind' Kitu Gidwani in offwhites. And ivory. 

Mercurial instinct like that of Elisabeth in Pridd and Prejeduice. I tried to incorporate some of Kiera knightley in some instances. But nothing occurs per se at the moment. 

What about care, concern, regard for the others well being. 

I was reminded of a character from -- Wild Praire rose'. There is care concern but also the need to lively in trying times. 

What are her hobbies.. 

This is what I had in mind. But I wanted to add 2 elements she works a s a trainer for autistic children and also volunteers for women with trauma and abuse. Something on these lines. 

How was she in a relationship? 

Now this was tuff.. 

I wanted to write poetic romance where she initiates,  I want this so deeply as it frees some aspects of my soul. 

How she loves to talk over the phone , her deep voice. Her silences, yet when she wants to have a laugh she has a very good time. 

I'll admit I want her to convey more subtle sexuality as opposed to what I seek to wrote for the male protagonist. 

I wish to do this with some undertones of Lucy Gordon's style. Let me think I've not yet decided. Or rather I d just go with the flow.
