Priya is a friendly, precocious student at the Lawrence School in Ooty who loves singing and church life. Her ambition to become a nun sets up the core tension between duty and desire, and her heart matures through friendships and love. She navigates trust, betrayal, and ultimately a choice that blends vocation with personal happiness.

Deva is a street-smart, charming musician who befriends Priya and initially helps shape her path away from nunhood. His evolving feelings for Priya complicate his schemes, and a serious accident tests his resolve and character. He grows from a trickster figure into someone who values commitment and partnership.

Guru is a blind, aspiring musician who becomes a close ally of Deva. His talent grows into recognition as a composer, though he faces charges of plagiarism that threaten his career. His loyalty and friendship anchor the troupe’s emotional and ethical stakes.

Thomas is a non-resident Indian who returns from Harvard to help his family business and rekindle a romance with Priya. He enlists Deva’s help to win Priya's heart, but ultimately undergoes his own arc, culminating in priesthood after understanding the couple's bond.

Mother Superior leads the Lawrence School and embodies the authority of the convent, guiding Priya’s spiritual path. She becomes a pivotal figure in the turning point that allows Priya to consider marriage and family over a solitary religious life.

Amalraj, Priya’s father, is a clothing industrialist who wants Priya to take over the family business. His protective, sometimes overbearing stance clashes with Priya’s dreams, highlighting the pressures of parental expectations and traditional gender roles.

James is Amalraj's former associate—boorish and opportunistic—whose wealth is redistributed at the story’s end. He represents a foil to Amalraj’s authority and the shifting dynamics of power and fortune within old business rivalries.
