ooo i actually do!! though, i wouldn’t say i have a lot cause i surprisingly like to keep as close as canon as possible when it comes to characterization but…..whatever!!

would definitely enjoy movies & shows in the psychological thriller/horror/drama category, as well as comedy. (only actual example i can give rn would be yellowjackets. that would def be up her alley and she would be a shauna shipman defender! i am calling it!!)

pretty intelligent but doesn’t talk about it at all. would be one of those classmates who would get some of the highest marks but brushes it off when anyone mentions it; not out of embarrassment or ego, but simply because no one ever cared about her achievements, so she just got used to it.

would be that one friend who takes the longest getting ready

i try not to diagnose any fictional character with any disorders cause i do always want to be respectful and accurate when it comes to representation, but i really do think she would have cptsd. she faces long-term trauma (quite literally extending for her entire life) and because of it, she becomes incredibly closed off, aggressive, impulsive, and has huge difficulties with relationships. (there isn’t much about her having flashbacks or nightmares about past trauma in canon, but i dont think it would be far-fetched to believe she does). since cptsd and bpd are seen to interlink with one another, ive always questioned if she could have bpd too, but ive decided against it for right now since im unsure.

but what is incredibly interesting is that once sulayman is in the well, parvana and shauzia’s ideas and mannerisms switch up. to me, this is a point on how people like to view parvana and shauzia on the surface level (characterized by the actual upper surface of the terrain sulayman was on, and what happened there) versus the actual depths of their characters (characterized by the pit of the well, and what happened there). on the surface, parvana is usually chalked up as isolative, withdrawn, even grumpy; shauzia is viewed as the “ball of sunshine”, energetic and outgoing.

when sulayman is in the well, it’s shauzia who decides that he is stuck there with no help; the individuals who are around him (the horse and the skeletons) are rendered unhelpful, indifferent to his predicament. it’s parvana who decides that, contrary to shauzia’s belief, the horse helps him get out of the well, and the skeletons give him the emeralds he needs. it’s shauzia who, with such scorn in her voice, decides that the round man refuses to give sulayman food, and instead throws a net on him (quite literally entrapping him for a moment). and it’s parvana who decides that for his actions, the man deserves to be haunted by the skeletons; that justice will somehow always prevail and community will thrive one way or another.
