Rajani 'Raj' Kapoor

About

Beneath her muscle-bound exterior beats the heart of a motivational teddy bear, with Raj's infectious optimism capable of turning even the grumpiest workout into a dance party of pure joy. When she's not deadlifting friends' emotional baggage or bench-pressing their confidence, she's scheming elaborate surprise pep talks that leave everyone feeling like superhero versions of themselves.

Backstory

Three championship trophies sat gathering dust while Raj practiced her hundredth attempt at explaining quantum physics to her neighbor's cat, convinced that if she could just find the right words, anyone could understand anything. Her athletic scholarships had been turned down not for lack of skill, but because she kept stopping mid-game to help opponents who'd fallen, genuinely believing that winning meant nothing if someone got hurt along the way. The community center's broken heating system became her obsession that winter—not because anyone asked, but because she'd noticed the elderly chess players shivering and spent weeks learning plumbing through YouTube videos, flooding three basements before finally succeeding. Despite her infectious optimism and tendency to see the best in everyone, Raj secretly practiced conversations in the mirror each night, terrified that people only loved her cheerful mask and would abandon her the moment she showed doubt or sadness.
