*"Indirah Alnazar is my mom- well, not really, but she's like a mom to us. She gives the best advices and she would never laugh at you when you cry. She could solve your problems in a snap like she's a witch. Speaking of, she's learning to be a clairvoyant who interestingly could make a lot of money if she were to make it as a side gig." - Kellan's journal entry about Indirah*

One of the tritagonists in Scintillate is **Indirah Alnazar** (Hindi: **इंदिरा अलनाज़ारी**), or better known as **Ira**, is the older twin sister of Illias. Born under the star sign Cancer, she is often described as the "mom friend" of the group, with Kellan Xalvador and Sapphire Chauvera being her best friends. She holds the title of being the HQ's "doctor", and her nickname is **Agent Twilight**. Indirah's patron arcana is **the Magician**.

She is based on **Amree Aguinaldo**, who is one of the writers.

## **Early Life**

She's born on the 9th of July under the astrological sign Cancer to unknown parents. Because of complications, their mother had trouble delivering the twins and she died not long after. Their mother's death causes their father to give them away as he believes he couldn't support the twins on his own. It was Sunset Mendoza's mother who adopts them, and years later were appointed to be junior agents in Trench HQ, making Indirah and Illias the first children to have made it into the agency.

## **The Crimson Plague**

In the event of the Crimson Plague almost 7 years prior to the events of Scintillate, Indirah was the only one among her family members to be infected, forcing her to be quarantined away from the rest of her loved ones. At the age of 10, she was shipped off to the Lazarette to be cured by one of the few plague doctors at the time, Agent Sunset's father, who also poses as a father figure to Indirah.

After getting cured, the plague in Indirah's body would halt its spread, and the death of the previous king- the first carrier- led the end of the plague. In the aftermath, Indirah would begin wearing white colored sclera contact lenses to hide her plague eye, a sign she has gotten the plague and been cured.

## **Personality**

Indirah describes herself as an introverted extrovert, which means she's often very friendly with others, especially with her own friends and family. She's often the one Kellan and Sapphire go to whenever they need advice, and as the oldest of the group, she's the most level-headed and responsible- even being more mature than Illias at times.

She follows every task that was assigned to her, although she could be a bit reckless completing the job. Shown as creative, she is also known to be the most resourceful among her friends as she immediately thought of a way to get into the palace by cross-dressing Kellan as Anela.

## **Physical Appearance**

Indirah has straight black hair that reaches her waist, and she has fringes covering her forehead. Like her brother, she has reddish-brown eyes which could come off as russet brown sometimes. She's about 5'3" in height.

She usually wears a white turtleneck long-sleeved shirt which she tucks into a black pleated miniskirt, and she layers a hot pink noodle strapped crop top over the turtleneck. Indirah has black stockings paired with black platform lace-up ankle boots, which boosts her height to two inches. She has a long-chained silver necklace with a wire-wrapped ruby pendant on it.

Indirah still wears the same outfit as Agent Twilight, although she switches her turtleneck for a tube top and adds a women's blazer over her clothes. Over her right eye is a skyblue-colored smart eyelens (single lens eyeglasses) with a small built-in mic and speaker attached to her right ear. She uses it to communicate secretly with the other agents.

Her sleepwear consists of a dark blue cotton long-sleeve and black shorts.

In the prince's birthday gala, she wears a simple gray tulle ballgown with small rubies on top of her off-shoulder bodice, along the gown's waistline and hemline, Indirah's hair is left down, although it was curled a little on the ends, and her makeup is natural-looking. She still wears her silver ruby necklace for the ensemble.

## **Trivias**

* Indirah's name in the Chinese translation is Cascade Jiāng.

* Her necklace pendant is pure ruby, which is the July birthstone. July is the month she's born in.
* The interval of delivery between Indirah and Illias is around 3 minutes, making Indirah 3 minutes older. They're fraternal twins as they look nothing alike.
* Indirah has some facts that relates with the person she's based on, **Amree Aguinaldo**:
	+ Indirah is skilled in swimming, as she and Illias grew up in the Mendozas' family house with a pool, often competing with each other whenever they're bored.
		- Indirah is Amree's third character who knows how to swim, the first being Ingrid Yuikawa in the TWICE Songfix Series, and Léa Navarro from Beyond Worlds.
	+ She is so far the only character based on Amree that has a huge difference of persona- Amree isn't usually the soft-spoken person that Indirah is nor the "mom friend", since **Pauline Sui** has that title in Chrysalis. Amree is merely labeled as Chrysalis' older sister.
	+ Both Amree and Indirah are studying tarot card reading with both of them starting at around age 11, not to mention Amree and Indirah's interest in astrology and horoscopes.
		- Indirah's Arcana Journal is written and illustrated by Amree herself.
	+ Both are considered introverted extroverts.
	+ Indirah is Amree's only character who doesn't have any known headpiece on, unlike Ingrid Yuikawa who have baker boy hats, and Léa Navarro who ties her hair.
* Indirah's gala ballgown has a strong resemblance to Ariana Grande's Cinderella tulle dress she wore for the Grammys 2020, albeit less dramatic and more manageable to move into.
* Despite having the ruby being her birthstone, she doesn't like the color red because of the Crimson Plague. In fact, cerulean is her favorite color.
* Illias is the only character to pronounce Indirah's nickname, Ira, as both "Ai-rah" and "Ee-rah". He claims it's the same thing and that she'd understand anyways.
* She is the only one in the main characters to have the Crimson Plague, just like in real life how Amree Aguinaldo was the only one to have sore eyes.
* Her father was originally abusive to her and Illias after their mother's passing. This was changed so the story wouldn't take a dark turn than what initially was planned.
