Karen
CharacterDating a man named Robert was the worst decision Karen never knew she made; the charming boyfriend was the spy Twilight, working an angle on her father Edgar the entire time. When the mission ended she was dumped, her proposal refused, and her own criminal record turned into leverage.
Appearance

Personality
Her attachment to Robert ran deep enough that she proposed marriage. Beyond the romance, Karen carries baggage of her own, having participated in enough criminal activity to land in serious trouble should anyone choose to expose it.
