Character History: Kalavanti has lived her whole life in Salem, California. After her mother became pregnant due to a drunken one night stand, Banita left her child with her parents and left to go see the world. Kalavanti's grandparents took over as parental figures for the girl. For many years she thought they were her real parents until one of the other kids in her second-grade class made fun of how different she looked compared to her 'parents'. She began to question why she was so pale and had red hair. Her questions led her grandparents to admit everything to her.
The news that her mother had abandoned her was shocking to say the least. Kalavanti did not know what was so wrong with her that Banita did not want her. Was it because of her red hair and light complexion? Was she not pretty enough? All these questions began the long turmoil of her life. Kalavanti struggled with her self esteem. Whenever she lost a friend, it triggered those abandonment issues that she could not get over.
Rosalie, her grandmother, realized the poor child needed a way to channel everything she was feeling in a constructive way. So when Metric Academy was performing 'West Side Story' the older woman brought Kalavanti along. The costumes, the singing, the music, the dancing! It was everything Kalavanti could ever dream of. She danced her way home with her grandmother, saying she was going to be in a play one day.
Her grandparents invested in dancing lessons for Kalavanti--which she discovered her love for hip-hop, jazz, and swing dance. In middle school and high school Kalavanti got involved in the drama group. Alas, she was not blessed with the gift of song and was never cast in a singing role. But she got plenty of dance numbers and did get her fair share of roles. Then in her senior year of high school Metric Academy accepted her.
She has been attending Metric now for four years, and is currently in her junior year of college. Her luck with roles has not changed too much but Kalavanti is at least happy to be a part of the musical theatre experience. Though her issues are still difficult to deal with and every once in a while she will have a 'mental breakdown' episode but she is doing rather well for herself at the moment.
