Bholi
Bholi was a simpleton who contracted smallpox as a child, which left her with pockmarks all over her body, making her appear ugly. As a result, she was neglected from a young age, with no one speaking kindly to her or showing her love. When a new school opened in her village, Bholi's family decided to send her, thinking no one would marry her anyway. At school, Bholi received kindness from her teacher for the first time, who spoke to her softly and assured her she would help her speak fluently like the other students.
