Summary

VARU: THE BARBER Varu lives for barbering. She seems to revel in every aspect of it: intricate styling, a simple utilitarian haircut, and—most especially—the conversation that accompanies the process. You can always count on Varu for the latest gossip, but just remember not to tell her anything you don’t want repeated to her next customer! Still, no one could accuse Varuna of malice. It’s not her fault that her creator was known as the hub of the small town’s news—and, after all, what’s wrong with a little friendly chat? Varu is usually seen in the company of her twin sister, Laru. Legend suggests that Varu and Laru were created by twin sisters—the former by the town barber, and the latter by the town welder. As was true of their creators, Varu and Laru are rarely apart; being together without arguing is even more rare, but they seem content in each other’s contentious company.

LARU: THE WELDER Laru is a firm believer in the importance of “growing together”. She is fascinated by the joining and changing of things, whether changing out masks for a new look or bringing people together in community. Laru’s love for her work is matched only by her skill at it: if you need any modification done, she is the one to call—as long as you don’t mind the constant banter (and frequent bickering) between Laru and her twin sister, Varu the Barber. Many have wondered why these two choose to remain in each other’s company, but do not voice this question to either twin—especially Laru. With unfailing loyalty and a fiery temper, she does not take kindly to any criticism of her sister. They are determined to stick together, no matter how heated the argument gets—and, after all, isn’t that what family is all about?
