Fears:
Greatest fear:Thanatophobia-Fear of death- Karen is scared from the unknown that will come after you die and also dying in itself. Any way which you can die she is afraid of, whether it is an accident or natural causes, she feared the idea of being dead and she will be no more on this world. She won't talk to her friends, her family or do the normal stuff she is doing because she is dead. She really hopes there is life after death because she fears the death more than the way to death. This is why she is very cautious about anything, not doing anything extreme like bungee jumping, free falling etc.
Minor fears:
-Arsonphobia: Karen had a little trauma when she was 10 years old. During her birthday party when they brought the cake with the candles and before she blew them, she was standing behind the cake with her back turned to it. Karen's hair was very long back than and she did not notice her hair catches fire, luckily nothing happens and it got put out fast. But still till today she stepped a little backward from fire and not getting to close.
-Genophobia: Karen is not shy and she had a few boyfriends, but the same reason for breaking up with each one was she could not get herself to kiss him a lot. She did kissed a few times but it made her feel uncomfortable. She is still a virgin but she thinks it is good cause she only 16, but she can't bring herself to kiss and hug boys a lot and have intimate relationship. Mostly it is because that Karen was born when her mother was raped by someone and she kept her. It is the fear of sex that is she most afraid of.
Coulrophobia: When Karen watched the movie "IT" of Stephan King which she loves this author, ever since that she is scared of clowns. Even the clown from McDonalds kinda make her shiver and scared. She will not try to avoid of all cost seeing any clown, but if she sees a clown coming towards her she will move to the other sidewalk or just closing her eyes when clowns performing in the circus.
Oddity: When Karen is very stressed or scared she scratched her head a lot. She is trying to avoid it cause she doesn't have lice or dandruff, she doesn't want anyone to think it. But when she is very anxious she can't help it and she scratch her head.
