She also appears in the "Missing Pieces" vignette as the viewpoint character, and an unnamed character matching her description appears in "Black Cats".

## Appearance

The unnamed cheerleader in "Black Cats" that seems to be Sanvi is noted to have distinctively wide hips.

## Personality

Sanvi is capable of feigning enthusiasm, though her true feelings are readily apparent in her eyes. She is snooty and considers insufficiently attractive people beneath her, doing little to conceal her intentionally ignoring the more ordinary Cory and Eli in favor of Dale, getting highly annoyed when Cory calls her out on it. She is a cheerleader at SAU, but doesn't care for promotion duties. She is rather hardworking in spite of this, however.

Sanvi is a Science Education major at SAU. Sanvi has been passionate about science since childhood, and is frustrated that her friends have never shared said enthusiasm. She feels that something about society keeps women away from the sciences, so Sanvi hopes to one day introduce programs that make the field more enticing for them.

## Abilities

Sanvi apparently has strong academic performance, as she is a science education major and considers herself on track to eventually introducing reforms to the sphere.

Sanvi is a cheerleader and seems to be skilled at her promotion duties. She is seemingly also adept at dealing with people and social media management, as she is aiming to succeed Tanya in particular out of all the cheer officers.

## Biography

### Background

Sanvi is said to have not come from a wealthy background. Growing up, Sanvi became frustrated that her friends did not share her love of science, so she resolved to make the field one women would be more likely to pursue. She began attending Schuyler Adamson University one year ago as a Science Education major and joined its cheerleading team. Sanvi eventually took notice of team captain Cammy's pattern of behavior: Cammy preferred to make friends with those of wealth and power, and would often promote to the Pep Squad cheerleaders that fit this criteria or were otherwise favored by the captain. Sanvi was initially mad at this unfairness, but after deducing that these two patterns are unified in the purpose of improving Cammy's image and social standing, she decided Cammy would be an excellent friend to have now and in her career. Sanvi's dedication to her cheer team work led to her being highly trusted by Cammy.

Though she is not named, an "Indian girl with the widest hips [Lauren] had ever seen" is among the four SAU cheerleaders that appear in "Black Cats". One day in late October one year ago, the group visits Poltergeist Halloween in search of costumes. As they're about to enter, Angela claims to have forgotten something in the car and splits off from the others. While the three cheerleaders are speaking with store employee Lauren, they are interrupted by Spirit Guard Valor breaking down the emergency exit and a black cat decoration revealing itself as Tricky Streetcat. Valor orders everyone to evacuate so she may fight the monster, prompting the cheerleaders to immediately run through the emergency exit.

### Weeks 2-4

As one of her conditions for her joining the cheer team, Robynne has Cammy purchase a set of computer components for her. Not wanting to link herself to this misuse of the cheer team's funds, Robynne has the package delivered to "Bluster" at her old dorm where Cory, Eli, and Dale live. Cammy wants to find out who Rob entrusted with receiving the package, so Sanvi is ordered to spy on the delivery. She feigns being on a promotion assignment while watching the delivery man. Once he leaves, Sanvi moves in to promote a party to the dorm's residents. She finds Dale at the door, with Cory and Eli behind him. They turn down coming to the party, but reveal that they know a cheerleader. Sanvi assumes the more attractive Dale is Robynne's confidant, and her report of this leads to a rumor among the cheer team that Robynne and Dale are dating.

"Missing Pieces" follows Sanvi immediately after meeting Cory, Eli, and Dale, and adds details about the circumstances of Sanvi's job. Sanvi was asked by Cammy herself to watch the delivery and figure out who Bluster could be, though Cammy left out how she knew of the delivery to begin with. Sanvi is certain that Dale is Bluster and romantically involved with Robynne, but she is unsure why the package was sent in this way or how it's relevant to Cammy. Sanvi feels doing this job will only help her stay in Cammy's good graces, though.

## Relationships

### Cammy DeCroix

Sanvi is on friendly terms with Cammy and is highly trusted by her. Like many cheerleaders, Sanvi was initially unaware of the kind of schemes Cammy would play on people, but in time caught on to the patterns of her behavior and decided she could be a valuable ally, so she makes an effort to maintain their good relationship. Sanvi wishes to remain close to Cammy beyond college, as such a rich and well-connected friend will be extremely useful for her career.

### SAU Cheerleading Team

Sanvi is part of the cheer team's Promotion Squad, and is noted to have little enthusiasm for the work involved. She is actually rather dutiful, however, in order to remain liked by Cammy, which she believes will be key in securing Tanya's officer position once Tanya graduates. "Black Cats" suggests that Sanvi is on good terms with Tanya, as well as with Angela when the latter was still on the team. Sanvi gets charged with following the package Robynne had extorted from Cammy and finding out who was trusted to receive this secret delivery, and reporting back that it's Dale leads to the rumor of he and Rob dating forming among the cheer team.

### Dale Bridges

Sanvi follows Robynne's package and finds Dale at the door of the apartment it is delivered to. She finds him rather attractive and makes a point of including only him in their conversation. Upon being told Dale is familiar with a cheerleader, Sanvi assumes he must be the "Bluster" that Robynne had the delivery addressed to. Some time after Sanvi reports this to the cheer team officers, the rumor of Robynne and Dale being a couple forms.

### Cory Frost and Eli Drake

Sanvi finds Dale's roommates Cory and Eli behind him while spying on Robynne's delivery, but doesn't pay the more ordinary-looking boys any mind and excludes them from the conversation. She gets very annoyed when Cory points this out, but he and Eli apparently don't leave a strong impression on her and get erroneously ruled out as Robynne's confidants.

## Trivia

* The original version of Chapter 38, as well as "Missing Pieces", name this character "Pari", as well as a "Pira" spelling that appears to be a typo. Chapter 41 changed her name to Sanvi, and Chapter 38 was revised to use the new name on September 4, 2021.
