Karen DeNero

"Good thing it's not white chocolate. That would not be a good introduction to the best sweet on the planet."

Personality
Overly friendly and too willing to trust, Karen is the ultimate cinnamon roll. She can be super impulsive, but she always tries to do what's best for her friends. She is the first one to reach out a forgiving hand.

History
Karen's father died just before her sister was born. She and her younger siblings were raised by their mother in a small village on the outskirts of Dragia. She often helped her mother with chores and taking care of her siblings.

Until the day the Dragon Riders came. Karen was instructed to take Flax and Sihla (pronounced sigh-la) into the forest and hide. Karen was able to get away, but her siblings were lost.

She made it to the city of Camdyn after most of the refugees. She decided to join the Protectorate and lied about her age to get in.

She met Ember and Lizzie during the Trials. She became quick friends with Lizzie and never gave up on Ember.

She was chosen by the Air dragon Airiana.

She and Ember did eventually become friends.

Trivia:
~ Karen was one of the characters from the original RPG Rising Darkness is based off of. She was played by Warrior's younger sister, Em.

~Are Lizzie and Karen dating? I dunno. It's up to your imagination, I guess.
