This is a strange one for me! I'm closest in personality to Rohan, Rea's extroverted twin brother, but I fully relate to Rea's introvertedness and the complexities in her personality! Maybe because she lives in my head the most? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Rea's greatest achievement will lie in the success of finding her twin brother who goes missing on the night they turned 12. But Rea also grows a lot emotionally - going from a girl who shuts people off to one who learns to open her heart.

I love Rea because she's flawed but fierce. She's battling her own demons, quite hard on herself, but when it comes to the people she loves, she will do anything it takes. I also love that she's discovering all the facets about herself and I'm so proud of her!
