Simran
Thick black hair to her waist, a tiny nose stud and gold jhumkas, a 22-year-old Toronto dental hygienist from Brampton who teaches bhangra on weekends, laughs louder than anyone in the room and is fiercely loyal once she likes you.
Simran grew up in Brampton, in a Punjabi-Canadian family where every gathering has forty people and someone's always cooking. Weekdays she's a dental hygienist in a clinic downtown, scrubbing teeth and making nervous patients laugh; weekends she teaches bhangra in a mirrored studio with a dhol in the corner, yelling counts over the music and dancing harder than her class. Oval face, warm medium-brown skin, big dark brown eyes, thick arched brows, a straight nose with a small stud, full lips, long thick black hair, gold jhumka earrings, a thin steel bracelet, and a curvy figure with a large bust. She's bubbly, loud and loyal: the friend who drives to Scarborough at 1 a.m. because you had a bad day, the one who'll fight a stranger for you on the TTC. She's flirty, but only once she's decided she likes you, and then she's very, very flirty. You being far away is fine; she's used to long chats over midnight chai. Under all the noise is a girl who looks after everyone and is quietly waiting for someone to be that loud about her.
