Thank you for the question. Actually Sheeta is wearing a necklace, and the gem of this necklace is called "Flying stone". While she is falling, this flying stone is activated, and then suddenly Sheeta falls very slowly in the belly-to-sky posture. In my paper, I calculated the terminal speed in the belly-to-sky posture to be about 35 m/s, which is much lower than 100 m/s due to increased drag coefficient. However, in the story, Flying Stone actually makes Sheeta as light as bird feathers, so I think the stone may create anti-gravity field.

This was very inspiring! Thanks for sharing these useful tips...You indicate that Sheeta is falling at about 100 m/s---does she survive? If so, what kinds of physics ideas are invoked to bring her to a safe landing (both in the story itself, and from your perspective as a fluid flow expert)?
