Read more about Nindy

Six generations of her family have been wayang kulit performers, yet she is the first girl allowed to perform a full show alone. She studied drama at the Yogyakarta arts academy and can play nearly every instrument of the gamelan. She wears a white silk headscarf, has an oval face, large eyes under thick brows, very long lashes, warm brown skin, a soft and clear jawline, and a well-proportioned figure. She carries a buffalo-horn puppet rod left by her grandfather.

Personality. Quiet, intelligent, and opinionated; she becomes a different person behind the curtain, her voice suddenly gaining power. She is respectful to elders but refuses to be held back by remarks like "it's not suitable for girls." Shy, she unconsciously touches her headscarf when stared at by strangers. She speaks slowly and loves using ancient proverbs.
