***“**The day my parents got swallowed by a rakkhosh and whisked away to another galactic dimension was a pretty craptastic day. The fact that it was actually my twelfth birthday makes it all that much worse. Instead of cake or presents or a party, I spent the day kicking demon butt, traveling through time and space looking for my family, and basically saving New Jersey, our entire world, and everything beyond it.**”*** *- Kiranmala, The Serpents Secret*.

**Kiranmala "Kiran" Ray** is the youngest offspring of Sesha, The Serpent King, and the Moon Maiden. She is the younger sister of Naga & the possible love interest of Neelkamal. She is the main character & protagonist of the Kiranmala & the Kingdom Beyond series.

## History

### Early Life

Kiranmala "Kiran" Ray was born in the Kingdom Beyond on October 31 to the Moon Maiden & Sesha. Kiranmala was the eighth child and only daughter of Sesha and the moon maiden. Her seven older brothers were turned into Naga, a seven headed snake.

Her mother was scared that Sesha would turn Kiranmala into a snake too & sent her down the River of Dreams in a clay pot. She was rescued by her adoptive parents, Ma and Baba. Sesha went after her and scarred her arm, but she and her adopted parents escaped to Parsippany, New Jersey.

### Parsippany, New Jersey

Her adopted parents did things to keep her safe & close to the Kingdom Beyond, they never put curtains in her room, so the moonlight could shine in, her mother & her father always checked for cobras in their front yard, even though Kiranmala insisted there were no cobras in Parsippany, New Jersey. She took lots of vitamin gummies, though they weren't related to her past. Kiranmala knew nothing about the Kingdom Beyond until her twelfth birthday.

## Kingdom Beyond Series

### The Serpents Secret

Kiranmala was living a good life in Parsippany, New Jersey, until her 12th birthday. On October 31st, Kiran noticed that her parents were acting weirder than usual, but she didn't really pay attention to it because according to Kiran, they always acted weird.

But when Kiran came back from school, she saw that the house was a mess and her parents weren't even home. Then someone knocked on the door and Kiran opened it to see two handsome boys-- one wearing red clothes, and the other one wearing blue clothes.

## Appearance

Kiranmala is a girl of Indian descent. She has black hair which she ties in a braid, deep brown skin, and dark brown eyes. She wears a sweatshirt and jeans, plus her favorite purple combat boots. She has a moon-shaped birthmark on her neck and another scar on her arm, which Kiranmala describes as 'looks like a strange pair of saggy glasses' and 'is the exact shape of the symbol on a cobra's hood'. During Game of Stars, she had green splotches all around her arms as well as green streaks in her hair.

## Personality

The book is written in Kiranmala's point of view, giving us an in-depth look at her personality. She is shown as sarcastic and witty, with a bit of a temper. She is also loyal, which is proved by her determination to save her family and friends. As shown in The Game of Stars, she will never stop until she finishes the job. She is afraid of showing weakness, and she is embarrassed by her family at first, but embraces who she is. She is also a royal, in the Kingdom Beyond.

## Relationships

### Neel

While Kiranmala's first attraction was to the kind and handsome Lal, she developed a shakier relationship with Neel. She found him arrogant and annoying but slowly came to a mutual understanding. Neel was angered by his father but fully understood why Lal was the crown prince, even though it left Neel feeling invisible in his father’s eyes. During the end of the first book they developed a lot of feelings for one and other, even going to the point where Kiran asks if Neel will ever visit her in the mortal-world.

### Naya

Kiranmala & Naya have a strong relationship. At first, she thought Naya was a perky middle-schooler, who somehow hitched a ride on an auto rikshaw that ripped through time & space. But when realizing that Naya was a Rakkhoshi, she was infuriated and said she didn't need her help. In the end, it was Naya who saved Kiranmala from her dad and Kiranmala said she was sorry. After that, they became good friends.

## Quotes

*“As weird as they were, they were my weirdos, and nothing in the universe could ever be right without them.”*

*“If you have never driven an auto rikshaw through a rip in the fabric of space-time created by two giant, hippopotamus-sized birds, I strongly recommend wearing a bike helmet when you do so. And if your rikshaw doesn't have a seat belt, you should probably consider duct-taping yourself to the seat. Because I have never been on such a bumpy, upside-down, mentally and emotionally disturbing ride in my life. And I've been on some doozies.”*

*“I wasn't the kind of person anymore who waited for bad situations to get better, hoping someone else would take charge. I was the kind of person who stepped up, fixed things, and made them right.”*

*“If people can learn to pronounce Tchaikovsky or Lothlórien or Parsippany, they can learn to pronounce Kiranmala! And even if they can’t, it’s still my name!”*
