A lot of people ask me this question, so this is how I think of her. You may have slightly different opinions and its okay.
Aarya Sarkar is a sharp, fearless private investigator with a strong instinct for uncovering the truth, even when it puts her own life at risk.
She's intelligent, observant, and physically capable and she relies as much on instinct and persistence as she does on evidence.
Is she perfect? Far from it.
As we've seen multiple times, she has little patience for authority, convention, or people who underestimate her, and her determination can sometimes tip into recklessness. As a result she often finds herself in tight spots.
She's stubborn and quick to get angry and use her fists. If not for her friend, Sid, she'd be punching her way through life.
Beneath her tough exterior, however, Aarya cares deeply about the people she lets into her life. She isn't always good at expressing that affection and her stubborn independence often gets in the way but loyalty matters enormously to her.
For Aarya, a case is never simply a case especially if innocent lives are at stake. She will keep digging, keep fighting, and keep going long after a sensible person would have walked away.
She's a rebel with a cause. An ordinary woman with an extraordinary personality. A friend we'd all love to have in our lives.
