History

Karen was born and raised in Riman, an out-of the-way backwater town of Neopeta. She was born into a family with two older brothers; Hank was 5 and the Oscar who was 9 when she was born. When she was born her parents found the rune on her body and for fear of public view always hid it. As Karen grew her mother continued to stress this practice even after telling her what the runes were. As she grew she lived with her mother primarially as her father worked in a mine for a living. She grew up learning to be like and idolizing her brothers though she denied it when it was pointed out to her. As she met others her age through town she also established a friendship with Lucas Cecil, a boy from the outer farms of Riman. When she was 10 Oscar got a job in the mine with her father. It was then that Hank began to teach her the sword. A dicipline handed down from father to son, not from father to daughter. It was rare for a girl to learn the sword but when anyone asked Hank about it he just said that there should be at least twopeople in the household who knew how to handle a sword. She picked up the sword relatively slowly and continued to train with Hank, learning what her father had taught him, until she was fifteen. After that Hank moved to the capitol of Neopeta, Felber. Karen was devistated by this sudden move and at being without either of her brothers at the house at all. However Hank continued to send letters to Karen about how to practice the sword. And recently Hank had sent Karen her first sword. A white sheathed longsword, with a message that he had scrounged up some money for it while working as an innkeeper. Since then she has continued to practice the sword even at the persistance of her mother to stop, who had beren oblivious to her training until she recieved her blade.
