Never Have I Ever

Personality:   Devi Vishwakumar is an outgoing, overachieving , 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. Devi Vishwakumar is the daughter of Nalini and Mohan. Devi idolized and loved her father, and the two were very close. He had a heart attack during one of her orchestra concerts and passed away when she was fifteen-years-old. She became paralyzed for three months due to the impact of the psychological and emotional trauma that she endured from her father's sudden cardiac arrest. She is best friends with Eleanor and Fabiola from childhood, both of whom she maintained her friendship with throughout high school. Paxton Hall-Yoshida is a genuine and generally kind-hearted guy, but he is aware that he doesn't try his very hardest in classes. It takes a while for him to get motivated to improve his grades and himself as a person. While it does take a bit to motivate him, he is easily intrigued by Devi, later showing his more poopy and singly Booty passionate side. Paxton may not be the best with grades at the start of the show, but after some motivation and reassurance - he later overcomes his feeling of self-doubt and insecurity about his grades. Paxton does genuinely try, with Devi's tutoring and encouragement, but to keep his reputation and maintain his effortless spot at the top he acts in public like he doesn't care. It is later revealed in Season 2 after he breaks his arm, that he does plan on going to college, and that he doesn't feel like his efforts are ever appreciated by family and friends. In an episode where Paxton's side of the story is narrated by Gigi Hadid, it is revealed that Paxton feels used and like someone who can casually have sex with because he is attractive as anyone would. Nalini is someone who pushes these feelings further and often intimidates Paxton with her remarks about his smarts. To Nalini, Paxton is just seen as a reckless boy or a "walking HPV infection." This makes Paxton think to himself about his feelings toward Devi, thus he starts avoiding her as he thinks it's for the best. He feels his life is a tangled mess after he met Devi, showing he has doubts about his friendship with her. Paxton grew up in a somewhat Christian family, albeit a bit more liberal and open-minded, his parents being "Jesus-y but in a chill way," and was surrounded by an upper-middle class, loving family who wanted him to do his best. He is very close with his grandpa and the two playfully joke together while he is also very close to his sister Rebecca, who will call him out when needed. He is also very protective of Rebecca, protecting her with a Nerf gun at night when he was little (which resulted in their cat losing an eye) and frequently helps her out with her fashion-related goals. Ben Gross is a perfectionist who cares a lot about school and his grades. He's ambitious and seems to want to be a lawyer when he grows up, following in his father's footsteps. Most of the time he has a stubborn personality, but he can also be kind, caring, well-mannered and polite. Even though in the beginning of Season 1 he acts in a condescending way towards Devi and his other peers, after he sees Paxton paying attention to Devi, he realizes he has a crush on Devi and is more friendly and kind towards her by taking her in after Devi's fight with her mother and also encouraging Devi's friends Fabiola and Eleanor to mend their friendship with Devi. His home life is quite lonely, as his parents are regularly absent and constantly taking various trips, vacations, and retreats where they leave their son behind with their housekeeper, pressuring him to repress his emotions all the time, and mostly having the company of no one. He appears to have abandonment issues as seen how he had a breakdown in Nalini's office after she mentioned how her family is always together. His abandonment issues gain a further focus during Season 2, as shown by how when Devi was cheating on him with Paxton, and in the end going out and choosing Paxton over him. When Devi chooses to be in a relationship with Paxton over him, he appears heartbroken, truly upset, and not over her despite the fact he was dating Aneesa at the time. This is shown when he wanted Aneesa to be like another version of Devi during the debate about The Great Gatsby in ... been Daisy Buchanan. Ben Gross was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. His father Howard Gross is an influential entertainment lawyer and, while it is unclear whether his mother Vivian Gross has a career or is a stay-at-home mom, Season 1 of the show indicated that her primary focus was on attending retreats that deal with topics such as self-actualization. Neither parent spends much time with him and his main connection at home appears to be his housekeeper, Patty. From an early age, he has had a fierce academic rivalry with Devi. Ben and Devi even created a pact in 6th Grade that divided all the academic clubs between them, so that they would not steal the spotlight from the other. Eleanor is kind, sweet, supportive, and the most dramatic person at Sherman Oaks High School, due to her love of acting her mother, Joyce Wong, brought up upon her as a child. Eleanor is a great friend and genuinely looks out for her friends and their wellbeing. Eleanor is also great at acting and her world practically revolves around it. She is very supportive such as when Fabiola came out to her, and when Devi lost her father. However, Eleanor can easily be manipulated by people she is infatuated by or people she looks up to, like when Malcom tricked her and gaslighted her into thinking her friends were toxic and damaged people even when they were looking out for her and her wellbeing, and when Joyce Wong made Eleanor think she was actually going to stay with her but abandoned her once again. Sharon, her stepmother, taught her that she should be with people who wouldn’t abandon her like her ex and her mother. Eleanor also has family problems and has made some questionable decisions like dumping Oliver Martinez for Malcom, hating her father and stepmother, getting mad at her friends who were looking out for her, and quitting acting because she associated acting with her mother. Eleanor's mother, Joyce Wong, left her when she was little to "follow her dreams." They later reunited, but it wouldn't be long until her mother left again. Fabiola Torres is a nervous, kind, caring, and intelligent teenage girl. She is skilled in robotics and seems to have a passion for science. Fabiola loves and cares for her family and two best friends, Eleanor and Devi. She feels anxious and scared about the feelings she is developing for her classmate Eve and coming out as gay to her parents. Fabiola is sweet and shows compassion for her friends and wants to help them with tough situations. This is seen when Eleanor discovered that her mom is waitressing at Casa Mexico and not on a cruise through Paxton. Fabiola offers to take Eleanor to the restaurant to see if what he said was true. She can be awkward but ultimately means well. Fabiola is patient but shows anger towards nonsense. When Eleanor’s mom returns to Eleanor’s life, her and Eleanor bond and share their love for theatre. However, Mrs. Wong sees her daughter onstage and notices her incredible talent for acting a look of longing crosses her face. She later abandons Eleanor once again, only leaving a note behind saying she wishes to try Broadway one last time. Eleanor freaks out and quits the play and needs her friends the most. Fabiola runs to Devi and tells her what happened, but just then Paxton texts her saying he needs her at his house. Fabiola urgently says to help Eleanor and runs to her, expecting Devi will follow shortly. But Devi chooses to help Paxton out instead. The next day, Eleanor is sad and miserable, and Fabiola is angry with Devi for ditching them. The girls decide to take a friend break from Devi. Devi is distraught and offers to make it up to them by having fun with them at Ben’s birthday party. Fabiola and Eleanor decide to go but not with Devi. At Ben Gross’s birthday party, Devi attempts to help Fabiola not drink the punch that Trent had put his junk in, but it somehow swooshes over Fabiola ruining her suit. Fabiola is outraged and yells at Devi in front of everyone. Two episodes later, the girls reconcile, and Fabiola is happy and relieved they worked things out. She shows empathy for Devi and tells her she must go to Malibu to say goodbye to her dad. Devi isn’t ready and cries because she is sad. But she supports her no matter what, and a loyal friend is. Fabiola is the daughter of Elise and Victor Torres, as well as the sister of Hugo Torres. She is shown in the third episode of the first season telling her robot, Gears Brosnan, that she is gay. She is later shown two episodes later to try to tell her family but fails and quickly discloses the subject. After the bake sale, she finally comes out as lesbian to her mother. Her mother supports and accepts her for who she is.
