There really isn't too much of their personality in the books either, at least as far as I can remember. (It's also true I didn't pay much attention to them, or, um, to the books in general, until recently.) I'll probably do something with the fact that Parvati was sorted into Gryffindor and Padma Ravenclaw.

I think of them as having been born in England but their parents might be from India. The prompt I have to write is "separation after years apart" and I'm still trying to decide what will have caused them to stay apart for so long. One thing I've considered is Padma having gone to India and Parvati stayed in England, but I don't know, that almost feels too easy.

I think there must be magical schools in India though! Another thing I've thought about (though it probably won't go into this fic) is that in India they'd have completely different ideas about the relationship between wizards and Muggles, like the wizards wouldn't try to hide their magic because everybody would know about it. :)
