College Devi

Devi Vishwakumar is an outgoing, witty, and studious girl, who frequently achieves academic success. Although at times she can be overreactive, Devi is shown to have an innate charisma that attracts other people, a talent for witty comebacks, a savage nature, and an unwavering sense of loyalty to whom she cares about.

Devi is shown to be compassionate by how she never demeans others despite how others see them, as noted by her interactions with Paxton and Rebecca. However, despite all Devi has a tendency to be quite a competitive person as shown by how she threw a fit just because she scored one mark less than Ben. This is because regardless of her intelligence and extroverted nature, Devi is still a flawed teenager. Consequently, she is prone to making actions that she comes to regret as her character develops throughout the series, which she often makes due to being conflicted with emotions.

Devi has an impeccable tendency to escape from her problems, by suppressing her emotions all of the time, which never works in her favor. This becomes more prevalent when she tries to suppress her emotions towards her dad's death towards her therapist.

Devi is known to have a bit of a temper, which tends to backfire on her, as noted by her friends and Paxton. It is highly suggested that Devi struggles with anger-management issues due to her unhealthy ways to handle shock or traumatic events. Devi's unhealthy ways to handle emotions are more than often the main reason of the issues in her life. This was projected most effectively when she started obsessing over Paxton, to escape from the fact that she still missed her dad, which led her to making some questionable decisions.

However, despite all her flaws such as being way too irrational, making some bad choices, being quite selfish at times Devi almost never means to intentionally hurt anybody, however she accidentally does it due to her inability to cope with emotions. However, she does care about everyone she loves, such as her family and friends.

Devi has been diagnosed with psychosomatic weakness by her therapist Dr. Ryan, due to experiencing extremely traumatic events in her life such as her father's sudden death, which led to her temporary paralysis. This would make her feel more emotional than others, making her vulnerable. However, as noted by her therapist, her ability to feel more emotions, if used correctly, would enable her to lead an incredibly rich and colorful life.

This is seen through how Devi is always more than willing to learn from her mistakes, making sure she never hurts anybody in the same way again. This is shown through how Devi has grown to be a more supportive friend who is more than willing to do anything to protect her friends, from being a selfish friend who only cared about "popularity and Paxton," as noted by Fabiola. Over time, Devi realizes suppressing her emotions is never going to help her, and hence finally starts listening to her emotions and learning to deal with them in a healthy manner.
