,” created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, introduced viewers to the chaotic world of Leighton , Bela , Whitney and Kimberly , freshmen at the fictional Essex College who find themselves placed together in a suite despite their contrasting — and often contradictory — personalities.
Aspects of each character serve as foil for the others. In the first season, Leighton uses her WASP-like snobbery to obscure her queerness, the result of which is a seeming prudishness that runs counter to Bela’s MO, which is to have as much sex as possible.
Whitney fills the void via an unlikely place: the classroom. It’s a development that Scott said “thrilled” her. “Secretly, I was like, this is great, because my mom will love this. My mom is an engineer, so I was like, ‘Here, Mom. This is for you.’ I felt like I was channeling her.”Bela’s efforts to break into comedy, most directly through Essex’s comedy paper “The Catullan,” are often hampered by misogynistic attempts to sabotage or belittle her talent and drive.
“She’s going through the blocks, she has to deal with sexual assault, she has to deal with jealousy, and as a result of dealing with that, her coping mechanism is, ‘I’m going to be the boss,’” Kaur said. “As a result, she ends up hurting her closest people. These are all things I’ve experienced, and so I’ve tried as an actor to give my personalization to Bela to make it more human.
