Bhadra

Bhadra (भद्र) is a character in Far Cry 4. She is a member of the Golden Path and considered the living incarnation of the goddess Kyra, she is the next Tarun Matara after Ishwari Ghale, the late mother of Ajay Ghale. 
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Bhadra was born and raised in Kyrat and since a young age, she has been in the middle of a civil war. She had to grow up too soon and before the age of six, she was known by members of the Golden Path as the reincarnation of Tarun Matara, a goddess mythology of Kyrat, 
Bhadra had to ally herself with the Golden Path at twelve years old, as she was considered the Tarun Matara and her parents died in combat fighting for the Golden Path. Bhadra has a very heavy weight on her back, standing between Amita and Sabal who constantly disagree over what direction the Golden Path should take.
=== A Goddess ===
Bhadra is considered by the Traditionalists to be the Tarun Matara, the living embodiment of the Goddess Kyra. The Tarun Matara's duties are never explicitly stated but she is touted as a religious icon for those who still hold to the traditional religion and mythology of Kyrat. 
Bhadra's status as a deity is one of the main causes of contention between Amita and Sabal. Sabal sees it as her duty to inspire the people and pushes for her to go out and reassure them. Amita; however, is strongly against the old religion and specifically against making young girls take on the role of Tarun Matara. She initially helps Bhadra, teaching her self-defense when Sabal has forbidden it yet later in the game she begins to see Bhadra's status as a deity as a means of undermining her anti-religious regime and takes a much less friendly approach.
== Far Cry 4 ==
In November/December 2014, Bhadra was training with Amita on how to use a bow, until the members of the Golden Path returned from a mission to save Darpan. Instead, Sabal returns with Ajay Ghale, the son of Mohan Ghale who was the creator of Golden Path. Amita is cross that Sabal saved Ajay and not Darpan and storms off to return Bhadra to her bow training. After allying with the Golden Path, Ajay saves Bhadra's life during an attack and in return, she tells him about the Ghale Homestead.
== Possible Fates ==
If the player chooses to make Amita lead the Golden Path after the game has ended there is a cutscene in Tirtha where Amita has ordered the Golden Path to take children away without their parents' permission to work on the opium fields because she needs more soldiers. When Ajay asks her what Bhadra will think about this, Amita replies she had her sent away and that she won't be coming back. The player cannot locate Bhadra following this interaction; whether she is alive or dead cannot be verified and it is somewhat implied that Amita had her killed.
If the player chose to make Sabal the leader, Bhadra is made the Tarun Matara in the ceremony of purification in blood, by slaughtering Amita's followers in front of her. She does not die as a result of this ending.
If the player stays with Pagan Min right from the start, it's unknown what would happen to Bhadra. 
== Personality and Traits ==
She is depicted as an adventurous teenage girl, who is thought to be the new Tarun Matara, the real-life incarnation of the Bride of Banashur from Kyrat mythology. Bhadra grew up in a Kyrat that has never known peace, and as a result, she is mature for her age. The Far Cry website states that she is used to friends and family dying. She is often caught between her respect for Amita and Sabal and is unsure who she should be listening to. In the end, however, she just wants what is best for Kyrat, and is willing to take on the personal sacrifice of being crowned Tarun Matara if it means the best outcome.

==Trivia==
* Bhadra appears on the back of the 9-inch Pagan Min statue.
* Bhadra is left-handed, as witnessed while Amita is seen teaching her how to use a bow.
* Bhadra's jacket seems to have a broken zipper or has been outgrown, as it is fastened around her with two safety pins.
* You can hear Rabi Ray Rana during a Radio Free Kyrat segment that revering a girl this young in her supposed godhood is "a lot of pressure for a teenager", and that if he were in her position, he would abuse such a status by ordering people to drop down and do 25 pushups so they would look fit as no one would dare to piss off a god.
* Word Bhadra (भाद्र) is Nepal calendar month. This month coincides with August 17 to September 16 of the Western Calendar and is 31 days long.
* Bhadra is regarded as the next Tarun Matara around 2006, even though she was born in 2000, while Ishwari Ghale was still alive. This is likely because Ishwari left Kyrat in 1990, and Kyrati beliefs regard the Tarun Matara as being resided by Kyra who can actively leave at will, similar to Nepalese Kumari, therefore not necessarily waiting for the previous Tarun Matara to die before residing in the next Tarun Matara.
