She is completely covered. Only her eyes and fingers can be seen. The rest of her body is hidden behind a black burqa.

“It’s like the phrase ‘the pen is mightier than the sword,'” explains Haroon Rashid, maker of the cartoon series. “We want to show that education can eliminate many problems.”
The TV series is comprised of 13 episodes, each of which is 22 minutes long. They focus on the story of the heroine, who is a teacher by day, and also on three young school children from the imaginary city of Hawalpur.
