-
Weera is part of a secret women's group and takes pride in being able to resist the Taliban in these underground, quiet ways
"Mrs. Weera had been in the Afghan Women's Union with Mother. She was so sure Mother wouldn't mind her dropping in that Parvana obediently led the way."
"Speak up, girl! Don't stand there with your mouth open as though you were a fish in the market! Speak up!"
"Mrs. Weera was a tall woman. Her hair was white, but her body was strong. She had been a physical education teacher before the Taliban made her leave her job."
"That's no way to keep up team spirit," Mrs. Weera said. "Nooria, why don't you get the little ones washed for dinner. Use cold water. We'll let this first batch of boiled water be for drinking."
Mrs. Weera is a round character because is a important character but not the protagonist as she helps a lot parvanas family and as we can see in the description of the round character that has the ability to change but is not forced.

Parvana´s conflicts
external
character vs society
Parvana lives in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, they force women to hide themselves, they are cruel, they do not accept any
thoughts or ideas different of them. They kidnapped her father, they lead her no option than turn herself into a boy
During the first 7 chapters we can see Parvana and her family desagrees with the Taliban, that is why we can infer that she would fight against them and her society during the remainning of the book.
