“Oh, your accent is horrible Mr. Steve! I’m so embarrassed. ”
—Kalyani[1]
Kalyani is one of Stephen Leeds' aspects.[1]
She is a linguist who was created after Steve flips through a book on Hebrew syntax, grammar, and vocabulary.[1] She acts as Stephen’s interpreter during his visit to Jerusalem. Stephen isn’t very good with languages, and Kalyani sometimes has to feed him words one at a time. She occasionally slips up though, acting as if she is talking to a person rather than Stephen.[2] She is kind and patient and likes to give hugs. She also may make Indian curries for the other aspects, or encourage them to try them, as J.C. mentions her making one for them (which he assumes is Chinese food, since it has rice in it). After asking Stephen multiple times if he can make her husband Rahul an aspect too, saying that he is a good photographer, he appears at the mansion where they live.[3]
Appearance and Personality
She is a round faced Indian woman in her late twenties. Her skin is a deep tan, and she has a red dot on her forehead. She wears clothing of intricate make, red and gold colored. She sometimes wears a sari.[1]
History
“Is it often going to be like this around you, Mr. Steve? Because I am not very well cut out for this. ”
—Kalyani to Stephen[4]
Steve created Kalyani after reading through a book on Hebrew syntax, grammar, and vocabulary on the plane to Jerusalem. She came up to first class with him and talked with him. With Kalyani’s assistance, Steve spoke with a flight attendant in Hebrew, helping prove to Monica that he his aspects really are real and give him knowledge.[1] Upon arriving in Jersaulem, Kaylani often wandered a bit, listening in on conversations in Hebrew. She helped Stephen ask questions of a police officer.[2]
