This is Muzy. Yes, I have a problem.

[fireblown]

This is Nisha Kumar, first cousin to Kritika Rao, thirty years old, lifelong Spade, glassblower, and eternal disappointment to her parents for her stubborn unmarried state. A combination of a free spirit and a cool businesswoman, she runs a glass studio in Town where she keeps the furnaces and works, but she still lives in the Castle with her parents - they're kind of traditional, and she's not married yet, so...

Nisha tends to be a bit scruffy in appearance on a day to day basis, as you would be too if you worked for hours with furnaces up to 9000 degrees. Her glass work runs the gamut from artistic vases and bowls to more sculptural work, and she is eternally trying to convince people to let her put something huge, brightly colored and abstract smack in the middle of the Green.

Looking for frans, verbal sparring partners, love interests?

Elani has probably commissioned her from time to time. Friendly?

I have no idea about the others.

[fireblown]

I'd guess that she and Julien have at least a passing acquaintanceship since she lives in the Castle and is similarly ranked. But I doubt she's made anything for him.

Her glass studio might be near enough to the new age shop to have run into Justin. Plus, if it's like most new age shops, it's probably a good place for her to buy basic cotton and linen tunics and such for working in.

Probably does not know Johnny unless Johnny has hit on her and been shut down, and unlike her PB, Nisha doesn't do music.

ETA: And yes, she and Elani are probably professional/friendly.

[diemwnt]

...my first thought was that she'd get along really well with Freddie.

My second thought is that there's no reasons she would know Evan who is my go-to 'LOOK A FRIEND' and there's a high probability that Declán is constantly in a state of cringing at the State she's in why must she booooooo. And that Cynric gets a kick out of her work, if not her in particular.

[fireblown]

Apparently Elani has commissioned work from her! So possibly Evan knows her for I NEED SOMETHING PRETTY MOTHER'S DAY HALP reasons?

I'm sorry Chives. She does clean up well when she's not working, but there's no good reason to wear silk kurtas that will just get covered in sweat and smoke. She probably made a nice, tasteful vase for the newlyweds.

HEY CYNRIC:

[piqued]

And now it's probably "AAAAA THERE IS A ROMANTIC ANNIVERSARY OF OUR FIRST KISS/DANCE/TIME RILEY BEAT ME AT BASKETBALL HALP" as well. :|a

And I'm sure the vase was appreciated but will not stop the Sighing. So much Sighing, madam.

wlieskjd HE NEEDS IT. HE NEEDS TO BE A PART OF THE PROCESS. HE CAN BLOW FIRE CAN HE HELP.

[fireblown]

Pretty glass things are the answers to all your troubles, Evan. All of them.

Alas, she is used to the Sighing due to her Persistent Unmarried State, and probably lets him fuss before going into the family apartment to change.

IF HE'S VERY GOOD SHE WILL MAYBE ALLOW HIM TO TRY.

[butneverbreak]

Then she is the answer to where all his money goes, clearly. And all his panic. It's a tradeoff.

*and after she changes
There I fixed it.
:|

IS IT LIKE FIREBALLS BECAUSE ONE WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN IN HER SHOP.

[fireblown]

Just keeping her solvent and letting her practice the big sister skills again. Priya's all grown up and being a Strong Independent Woman, so she only gets practice with Evan and Kritika.

He can fix the pleats on her sari. :|

NOTE TO SELF BUY A CRATE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

[longingforthenight]

She probably gets intense judgment from her aunt and uncle, because Kritika goes "I DON'T HAVE TO GET MARRIED. LOOK AT NISHA, SHE'S DOING FINE."

[fireblown]

Nisha is just a general pain in the ass to the older generation. Just. Why. Why can't she marry that nice Dewan boy.

[inkedstudy]

She's a disgrace to the family, honestly. B|

Seriously, though. Kritika probably comes and flings herself at her all the time. Cousin = cousin-sister = practically a sibling.

[fireblown]

She probably tells Kritika to just hold firm and stay out of the house as much as possible. And gripes about having to be a bridesmaid in her little sister's wedding.

[inkedstudy]

Little sister? :O What's her name/age?

[fireblown]

Priya, 28, and she's a doctor :| They also have an older brother Surya, who's a lawyer and married with a couple of tiny kiddies. :D

[inkedstudy]

Awwww little kiddies. :D Also that works nicely with both families having three kids.

... Poor Surya. Having to run around with a pack of girls at family functions when he was young. XD

[fireblown]

He's probably been cursed with two tiny girls, JUST TO MAKE IT WORSE.

[inkedstudy]

Not necessarily worse. At least he knows how to deal with them/has had experience with raising them. XD

[fireblown]

This is true, he knows all their tricks between his little sisters and his cousins. XD

[holdsmyheart]

Not sure she'd know Theo or Lelial--well, maybe Theo by name since he's now King. She's in the same age-range with Ethan and that group, so maybe childhood-familiarity-in-passing sort of thing?

[fireblown]

Probably not Lelial, but she might know Theo if the Hearts have any interest in commissioning any glass art. She's more likely to know Ethan, though, since they're in the same age range and Suit, and he's, you know, Ace.

[cutslikeaspade]

Theo has the aesthetics of a fish, so other than his being King, it's doubtful. Lol, yah, and I'm sure Ethan's flirted with her several times during the teenage years probably.

[fireblown]

Then she secretly sighs and rolls her eyes and tries selling things to Elisha. XD

Prooooobably. I think she's a couple years older, so she probably eyed him with tolerant amusement.

[thecutdiamond]

If she ever gets coffee while in Town probably she could get it at Teresa's?

I think she'd more know of Rowan and Rachel :|a

[fireblown]

Like I told Emma, royals have probably commissioned her from time to time, so I imagine if she knows Rachel and Rowan, it's professionally rather than personally.

She's more one for tea. :| How's your tea, Teresa?

[thecutdiamond]

Sounds good \o

What is it with you people and tea :|| is what Teresa has to say. But also yes they have it and it is good and they have pumpkin spice flavour now?
