कस्तूरी (Kasturi), which means Musk/Scented in Hindi, is a college student in Bangalore studying Speech Pathology & Audiology. Her father and grandfather both worked as doctors and not only actively encourage but expect their children to do the same. Secretly, though, she would love nothing more than to become a Bollywood Actress - she loves to sing and dance and she dreams of becoming famous. She is extremely intelligent and hard-working but also incredibly naive and quite sheltered. Thankfully as of yet her ignorance and naivety have not yet landed her in any serious trouble.

Loves traditional Indian costumes/accessories.

What your favorite part of your plumie's design?
Her beautiful ruby red eyes, the cute messy fringe/fur and all her unique spots!

What part of your plumie inspired their character?
Firefly. asked me to choose a bird egg for my RU. Since a blue shade (Robin) and golden/brown shade were already taken I wanted something more unique. So I discovered the Red-vented Bulbul Bird and it's eggs. This bird is prominent across India which inspired her background. I started looking up female Hindi names that looked nice in Sanskrit. So I found कस्तूरी (kasturi) which means 'musk'.

Which of your plumies do you think you were most nervous about contest-wise?
For the Robin Egg plumerian we had to draw an accessory. I wanted to be more unique so I thought of drawing a hijab on the plumie who I decided would have a Persian background and named Shahnaz. I was super nervous and had no idea there were even going to be RUs. So it was amazing to be given one! I am superstitious about using the same character twice, especially if the original character did not 'win' so that is why I changed everything about her.

She prefers apps. At the moment she's fond of Monster Busters.
