How to tell the Noah twins apart: aka Neha and Mahavir a shallow dive
Previous post
Neha is the brains, Mahavir is the brawn
They're kind of the opposite of each other in a way that complements the other, like filling in for the other's weaknesses
So yeah, Neha is the literal genius, child prodigy who can't stand people and is basically an unwilling introvert
She strongly believes that physical exercise was a torture method created by adults in her life to try and humble her- it was unsuccessful
Mahavir is more of a jock, like captain of as many sports teams as he can get his hands on (including gymnastics) type of jock, he is also one of the friendliest people ever and is very popular in school
He strongly believes that school and tests are unimportant factors in life and making friends should prioritise over them- even if Neha bullies him into passing them all
As for physical appearance, Neha is shorter and slimmer with the obvious biological differences whereas Mahavir is taller and has a sleeper build- put on some baggy clothes and they look really similar
Neha also has more masculine facial features and Mahavir has more feminine ones
Hell, if it wasn't for the fact that Neha has obvious breasts and Mahavir likes his hair as short as possible (it's only practical) then they'd both look completely androgenous, instead they're semi there
Neha also has darker hair and eyes whereas Mahavir's are a few shades lighter- barely noticeable unless there's a side by side comparison
You'd expect them not to get along too well because of all this but they're basically attached at the hip
Hell, the whole Neha hacking stuff at six years old was because her and Mahavir were playing spies and got too into it
In fact, their childhood was basically a cycle of them committing what were probably crimes because they got too caught up with the bit in the games they were playing
Of course, not that anyone would believe that literal children were doing any of that, the joys of young prodigies
Another key thing is that Neha is a hell of a lot more protective of Mahavir than he is of her and that's mainly because as kids she was the one chasing and scaring off bullies (even getting people to believe she was a witch so they would back off) and keeping him away from bad people since his naivety used to attract them
That isn't to say that Mahavir isn't protective of her in his own ways, it just comes off differently and happens less, he's more than happy to de-escalate situations whenever her mouth runs too much, and he has thrown hands once before
So, the key points in telling them apart on the show basically are:
if your Noah is willingly participating in physical activity with minimal complaining? It's probably Mahavir
If your Noah is doing absolutely anything to get out of doing something physical? Chances are it's Neha
If your Noah is actively initiating conversations or interactions, being friendly even? It's probably Mahavir
If you Noah is being ruder and spewing a lot more insults while complaining at every chance? Chances are it's Neha
If your Noah is pulling off a physical feat that counteracts the appearance and previously stayed abilities? It's probably Mahavir
If your Noah is barely eating anything and staying awake at night? Chances are it's Neha
If your Noah is spending free time napping or talking? That's probably Mahavir
If your Noah is spending free time reading or can't be found? That's probably Neha
If your Noah is giving non-backhanded compliments to 'dumber' people? It's probably Mahavir
If your Noah is getting manhandled by Izzy? Chances are it's Neha
If your Noah is chill with Tyler talking to them and is even willing to engage with eating the food and engaging in team bonding exercises while seemingly oblivious to any manipulative schemes? That's definitely Mahavir
If your Noah gives you unsettling vibes like they know everything you have ever done and exactly what you're thinking right now with a single hum of acknowledgement? That's definitely Neha
Does this mean that Neha is the one that got them eliminated? Yes. Yes it does.
Though I guess it would be funny if world tour was Mahavir's fault because he was grumpy over something... But Neha does have the chronic foot in mouth syndrome
Also they totally gave Alejandro whiplash because one moment 'Noah' would be looking at him and talking to him like 'he' knows what Alejandro has been doing and the next he's seemingly completely oblivious and not interacting with him in the same way (or remembers the specifics of their conversations, he couldn't have been the only one right?)
