The document presents a character study of a 13-year-old girl from a socially marginalised class to highlight how gender, age, and socio-economic status exacerbate vulnerability to floods. It details how floods lead to school absenteeism due to security fears, financial instability caused by rising food prices, and the burden of household chores in semi-permanent housing. The persona emphasizes that participation in disaster management or water-saving projects is contingent upon guaranteed personal safety and the ability to balance such activities with education and domestic duties.

• The persona illustrates that adolescent girls from marginalised backgrounds face multiple barriers to disaster management participation, including the need for permission and accompaniment for safety, and the priority of household chores over community meetings.
• Floods negatively impact the education and security of the character, who avoids school during heavy rains and water logging due to safety concerns.
• Economic vulnerability is heightened during floods as the character's family, living in a semi-permanent (kuccha) house with no savings, struggles with rising food prices.
