(Personifying the mind, the individual) She represents the individual on her journey to growth. The mind seeks happiness in the external world, and is also impacted by the external world. When the mind identifies with the ego, it derives its identity and worth from external validation and roles i.e. I’m a good wife, good mother, good employee etc. Manasvi calls her identity called into question when she cannot have a child. She avoids dealing with the pain and the work of dealing with grief.

(Personifying inner wisdom / Captain) This is one of Manasvi’s closest friends, who loves Mana deeply. She sees & advocates for her incredible strengths and character, and embodies this saying: “A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.” Mitra is joyful in Manasvi’s presence and also emanates a sense of assuredness.

(Personifying love, romance) Also a closer friend of Manasvi’s, Kamy is warm, alluring, free-spirited, protective and nurturing.

(Personifying busyness, productivity) She & Manasvi used to work in the same office. She genuinely likes Manasvi and is encouraged that Manasvi seems to like her in return. She buzzes around helpfully completing tasks on the surface, but would feel uncomfortable slowing down to “go deep.”

(Personifying adventure, play) She is playful, and has a big, seeking spirit. She finds/creates opportunities for adventure & brings along whomever is around her.

(Personifying care, nurturing) She is the consummate mother-nurturer. She is thoughtful, deeply present and cultivates a rich environment for her family and children to thrive.

(Personifying grief) D, like gravity, is with you. D gathers & holds the force of your love, even when she knows the container of your life cannot. D only asks you to see & acknowledge, to look closely, to not deny or ignore her. She resolute and has a strong presence. Though being with D can be very difficult - she’s deep & disruptive - she is always pointing at a larger truth.
