Been a while since I posted something... I apologize, I really do but I've been having art block for drawing in general so I only really have ideas for SFM art and then I don't have much experience with SFM so I don't make much SFM art.

Name meaning: "Lotus" in Sanskrit
Species: Octoling (Southern Keeled Octopus x Coconut Octopus)
Age: 28
Height: 5'3'
Weight: Idk...? How heavy would an Inkling or Octoling be compared to a human since Octolings don't have bones...?
Gender: Female
Weapon: Formerly an Octoshot Replica, now a tri-Slosher.
Personality: Saroja is a persistent warrior and won't give up until she wins. That being said, Saroja is also very selfless and if she had to die, she'd want to die saving her loved ones. Having grown up with three extended families living together, she doesn't believe in owning anything she wasn't born with, which often gets her into conflict with Cuivre, who has been in tough life situations when he was an ex-war criminal but was otherwise privileged when it came to owning an RV trailer attached to a custom-made RV car bedroom.
Relationships: Jagger (father), unknown octoling (mother), unnamed adoptive parents, Laleh (half-sister), Seren (half-sister), Ramses (half-brother), Farai (half-sister, half-niece), Sahar (adoptive sister, landlord), Cuivre (adoptive brother, landlord), Najib (adoptive nephew), Perle (adoptive niece). Her other relationships might be revealed in stories and comics
Backstory/bio: Saroja doesn't remember much about her biological mother as her mother died when she was very young and her father left her before she was born, as her dad usually did when he knocked up a girl. She was later adopted by an octoling couple who were a part of an extended family living with two other extended families, so her idea of a home was more like a community of tightly knit individuals. That being said, she had trouble figuring out who was in charge because there were multiple adults around and the rules could vary depending on who was in charge at the time, so she had to figure this out on her own. She went to the same school as the kids of the other families (they only went to school part time, and then they were homeschooled part time). Having both education offered from the Octarians themselves and her own little community, she became very knowledgeable and smart, able to discern a safe from an unsafe situation, able to know when to fight and when to back out, when to be seen and when to be heard, and such. Being smart, the other kids looked up to her as a role model and their parents saw more potential in her than they did in their own kids.
However, she became more detached from the community as DJ Octavio ordered she be sent to boarding school when she turned 14. While her training sessions were enjoyable for her, she missed her old family. Of course, all the kids doted on her because she was going to be a general and Saroja appreciated them, but she still couldn't get over being separated from the community she had grown up with. It wasn't until she adopted an Inktoling by the name of Dipti that she felt better being at the boarding school because Dipti understood what it was like to be powerless and helpless and that gave Saroja solace.
At around age 20, the same age Laleh got her new job as a colonel, Saroja became a general in the Octarian army. She worked for five years until she was injured badly and then kidnapped by Sahar and Cuivre. Her army unit believed she was dead as she was taken away by Inklings after she became unconscious, but in reality, she was alive and well cared for by the couple. She does worry once a while about her unit but she otherwise knows that there's someone else who is probably more passionate and qualified for the job than she is. Alongside that, Sahar and Cuivre love and cherish her along with her best friend and former pet, Dipti.
She does know Laleh, but they don't always get along. Laleh does often questions her ability as a leader because she is of the younger generation, but she brushes it off as she believes this position doesn't belong to her and all that matters is she's working with other generals to achieve a goal.
