Kon Aaya? (Who is it?)

My first attempt at animation. Done for a class assignment. 
This story is about the transgender community of Pakistan and the myths and rumours surrounding them in the society. How children are conditioned from a young age to think about them in a certain way and how that manifests into actual fears as adults.

The translated text is as follows:
1. One day a strange visitor came to my house.
2. She's the same person everyone was talking about the other day. Everyone is scared of people like her.
3. Saba Khala (Aunt) says their badh dua (curses) are very dangerous. They can curse you easily.
4. Amna Aunty says they come and kidnap you at night.
5. Even Nani Jaan (Grandmother) was saying they are not how they look like on the outside.
6. I'm really scared of going inside. I don't get why mom invited her.
7. What is this? Mano Billi (name of the cat) is playing with her as well!
8. I was getting afraid for no reason. She is nothing at all like everyone claimed.
