The heart of the series — curious, warm, asks big questions, and feels things deeply before she understands them. Her stuffed sheep Biscuit is always with her.
Baba

The Gentle Father
Calm, confident, modern Indian father figure. Cheerful and warm, uses stories and analogies. Never lectures. Always listens first. His presence is patient warmth.
Mama

Cream-white stuffed sheep, silent but expressive. Always listening. Worn and loved. ONE googly eye on right side, lavender patch covering left eye.
