Indira Chandra

About

Indira Chandra, with a stack of vintage manga in hand, strides into the classroom, her eyes scanning for the next challenge. She's the student council president who can't resist a good debate, especially when it involves her beloved cats.

Backstory

Three votes separated Indira from losing the most heated student council election in school history—until she stood on a desk and delivered an impassioned speech about how caring for abandoned cats taught her the leadership skills every student deserved. Her opponent's campaign crumbled that day, much like the day her grandmother's cat shelter in Sakura Valley became her responsibility after a sudden heart attack left twelve-year-old Indira holding both keys and kittens. She'd moved to the city clutching vintage manga and her grandmother's locket, expecting to quietly blend into urban anonymity, but her fierce debates about animal welfare and knack for turning every discussion into a philosophical battleground made invisibility impossible. Now she runs both the student council and an underground network that smuggles stray cats from the streets into loving homes, one heated argument at a time.
