Amita Zecharia (Cataclysmic Gerosha)

Amita Zecharia is a minor supporting character in the background story of the 2022 version of Corando's "Don't Lose Hope". She is the mother of Mahima Zecharia, one of the survivors of the destruction of Porbandar.

Character bio
Amita married Aayush Zecharia at an early age of 17, and the two were a very close couple throughout. They joined an underground church near Porbandar, and were eager to expand it. They eventually had a daughter named Mahima in the 1990s, and were determined to make her as much an evangelist and activist as they were. Alas, they found themselves facing fierce opposition from Hindi nationalist extremists.

After Aayush died, Amita became determined to find Mahima a husband. She found an ideal candidate in Darshan Chawla, whom Mahima enjoyed being around. Amita did all she could to keep the couple growing closer together, but warned them they would always face danger.

Amita's warnings were validated when Daruka Naidu discovered the underground church - and became obsessed with his desire to traffic Mahima as a prostitute. A riot broke out across Porbandar, and the church was burned down. Amita was assassinated by Prateem Chankedar, an armed goon working for Daruka, immediately before the building that the church was inside of was set ablaze.

Daruka and his goons had previously reduced the Christian remnant in Porbandar to only ten. By killing Amita, Prateem lowered the number to nine. In response, Porbandar fell under the same judgment as Sodom and Gomorrah. Amita didn't live long enough to see Darshan and Mahima's actual wedding, nor the later birth of their son, Adriv.

Personality
Amita is portrayed to be a very kind soul, who wants what's best for her daughter. She has a strong admiration and respect for Darshan, and believes that Darshan would be a good fit for Mahima. Before much else can be seen or made known from her, however, she is gunned down by Prateem.

Trivia

 * In real life, Amita Zecharia's name was inspired by Amita from Far Cry 4, in spite being considerably older and having a very different personality.
 * Likewise, the Chawla Homestead in northern India is modeled after the Ghale Homestead from Far Cry 4.
 * The church building that Amita is shown inside of was originally a "Cinnamon Kingdom" lot on the Sims 4 Gallery; which had been heavily modified to make it look more Indian and less European.
 * Slow performance on said lot resulted in Dozerfleet Main receiving an upgrade from an 8 GB motherboard setup to a 16 GB setup, in order to support Sims 4 having increasingly difficult-to-meed performance demands.
