Aaravi Mishra

"Aaravi Mishra (22), a hotheaded adventurer possessed by a curse who had turned out to be the most annoying roommate ever."
- Aaravi's introduction in "Monster Camp"
Aaravi Mishra,Monster Camp most commonly referred to as The Slayer, is one of the side characters in Monster Prom, and is one of the game's antagonists.
She was later promoted to a primary love interest in Monster Camp, and is given a curse as a sidekick, named Hex.
She is voiced by Brooke Thorne (aka Dodger, @dexbonus)
== Appearance ==
Being half-human and half-monster, Aaravi has some monstrous characteristics. She has pointed ears and bright green eyes, both in iris and sclera. She has dark skin and periwinkle blue hair, and freckles on her face. Her fingernails seem to be painted the same periwinkle blue as her hair.
== Biography ==
TBA
== Personality ==
She seems to be a big fan of RPGs and video games, considering that the interactions with her often reference such things, and a comic made by the creators even has her waiting in line to buy a fictional game called "Human Prom" but not realizing it's not sold physically.
Aaravi sometimes displays tsundere traits, such as getting flustered if you sit with her at lunch or having a Freudian slip when Zoe is under a tree she's in during a scenario.
In Monster Camp, TBA.
== Role ==
=== In Monster Prom===
In Monster Prom, Aaravi is a minor character and antagonist that frequently attempts to kill several of the main love interests, primarily Damien LaVey and Liam de Lioncourt. 
She has a secret ending in which she can be romanced, which also reveals the details of her backstory and the motivation for her homicidal behavior that is otherwise only ever hinted at.
=== In Monster Camp===
In Monster Camp, Aaravi has been promoted to a primary love interest for players to pursue, and has been partnered with a living curse named Hex from a necklace she wears.
== Stat Requirements ==
Monster Camp's built-in guide (available to purchase in the Meta-Shop) states, "Aaravi is a completionist herself and values someone who can stay ahead of the game and have NO weaknesses."
Exact numbers are not known, but this implies that Aaravi requires the player to have a balanced set of stats, with all of them high to some degree.

== Relationships ==
*Father: A monster that sired Aaravi and her brother Salil with their human Slayer mother. He was never home and eventually abandoned the Mishra family entirely. He caused Aaravi's mother to die of heart-break (in addition to an unrelated disease) and motivated her brother to search for him and disappear. It is because of him that Aaravi harbors a deep hatred for monsters.
*Mother: A human and Slayer that sired Aaravi and her brother Salil with their monster father. When he abandoned the Mishra family, she died of heart-break and a potentially curse-related disease. While alive, she raised Aaravi to embrace their Slayer heritage and be exceedingly violent and unforgiving toward monsters.
*Salil Mishra: Aaravi's younger brother. Unlike his sister, he was too young to know the kind of person their father was. At some point, he left home to search for their father, and was never seen again. He, along with their father's behavior, inspired Aaravi's deep hatred for monsters.
*Norah: Therapist.
* Valerie Oberlin: Aaravi does not hunt Valerie like other monsters because monster hunters and cats are known to be good partners. They are on friendly terms, and have nicknames for each other.
*Damien LaVey: One of Aaravi's primary slaying targets, as demons are one of the oldest and most evil monsters to plague humanity. Monster Camp confirms that after events of Monster Prom, Aaravi once ended up in an awkward threesome with him and Liam.
*Hex: A living curse that she is stuck with, stemming from a cursed necklace she wears.
*Liam de Lioncourt: One of Aaravi's primary slaying targets, as vampires are one of the oldest and most evil monsters to plague humanity. Monster Camp confirms that after events of Monster Prom, Aaravi once ended up in an awkward threesome with him and Damien.
*Zoe: Implied crush.
==Trivia==
* Aaravi's hatred for monsters is both an unhealthy coping mechanism for the mysterious disappearance of her younger brother Salil and fueled by anger at her father, a monster "who was never home and ended up abandoning" her family.FAIRY
** Her mother died from a (potentially curse-related) disease and, Aaravi believes, a broken heart, as "she was never the same after he left." Norah implies that their mother may have raised her to be violent, likely embracing their Slayer heritage, by suggesting Aaravi have an "honest, frank (conversation) about (her) parenting style."
** Salil disappeared after their mother's death. Aaravi believes he was kidnapped by monsters because he is of The Slayer bloodline. However, he may have actually left on his own to search for their father because he was younger and never got to see the kind of person their father was; Aaravi finds the kidnapping theory easier to entertain.
* Her original design is primarily inspired by a design for the female demon hunter class in Diablo 3. Her monster characteristics and those of her brother were based on the Rakshasa creature from the horror comic series These Savage Shores.
**Likewise, her brother Salil's design was also based on Illidan Stormrage, a demon hunter from the Warcraft franchise.
*According to Julian, the developers have various ideas for what type of monster Aaravi's father was as well as some general backstory information for her, but have not yet settled on one and consider it still in-flux and up for debate until official content mentioning it is released. Different ideas for what he and his children might be include:
**Rakshasa (specifically the variety from These Savage Shores; it is considered a variety of demon)
**Nightmare creature
**Dragon
**Fallen angel (considered another kind of demon)
*In the Second Term DLC there are hints she might have a crush on Zoe, in one event admitting to her that she looks "hot" and in other when attacking Damien, Liam and Zoe having her mention that she "might have a crush on one or more of them".
* If you tell her Damien and Liam's weaknesses, there is a chance that after the ending of the game, she will be mentioned as accidentally ending up in an awkward threesome with the two of them, that neither wants to speak of to anyone again.
**Due to a possible bug, this ending also happens if you follow Slayer's secret route in the Second Term DLC, despite it not making much sense in context of the ending.
**In Monster Camp, Aaravi reveals during a game of "Never have I ever" that an awkward threesome with Liam and Damien also took place, or at least Hex saw it in Aaravi's memories.
*Her catchphrase is "Prepare to die!" which she will occasionally shout when she appears on screen.
*Her birthday is October 22nd, making her a Libra along with the the Interdimensional Prince.https://btflglitch.tumblr.com/post/185013660960/lore-reveal-these-2-have-the-birthdays-of-2
*Aaravi is said to be a Hindi name that means "peace".
**Mishra is a Hindi surname that means "mixed" or "blended".https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0 It was revealed in the teaser trailer for Monster Camp.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVINsWPX8XM
*Her prom outfit is directly inspired by the Joan of Arc-inspired armor dress worn by Zendaya for the 2018 Met Gala.
**She wears that same outfit in the CG of the THERAPY ending.
*She (and as of Monster Camp, Hex) lives in a flat.https://btflglitch.tumblr.com/post/631981655943446528/monster-prom-2-monster-camp-on-steam
