Name: Karin Sørensen
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Birthday: November 7th
Sexuality: Unsure
Special Characteristics:
Personality: There are several different facets of Karin’s personality that one must take into consideration when examining her actions and her character. One of the first and foremost characteristics that one might notice about her is that she is an extraordinarily private person. She rarely talks about her own feelings or the impact of her experiences, almost always deferring the questions or turning them on the questioner in some way, shape, or form. The subconscious aversion to any questions regarding her personal life may have something to do with her previous years of solitude in the wilderness, or perhaps something else entirely; the casual outside observer would never know due to her unwillingness to do so. She might, on rare occasion, open up to a person she feels comfortable with—a person with which she has placed significant trust—but those shutters will immediately come up, and the world will lose it’s rare glimpse into the huntress’ mind as soon as she feels that they have violated that mutual understanding of confidentiality. Interestingly, while she walls her feelings away from the world, she is skilled in getting others to open up—like a thief with their lockpick, her tone and choice of words is often able to pick past the other person’s mental walls with little difficulty. A valuable and destructive tool is the silver tongue of a counselor-type personality, but Karin uses it with care rather than malice; the trust she gives to others is a fragile and delicate path to her inner self, and she treats the trust given to her with as equal care as she would expect from another being.
Despite her reserved nature when it comes to her own feelings, Karin is not asocial. She may prefer to be by herself to relax or to collect herself, but her social abilities are on par with most extroverted personalities—even if it does mentally fatigue her after extended periods—when the conversations are meaningful or pique her interest; she becomes uncomfortable and sometimes awkward when the conversation entails large amounts of small talk or mentally numbing subjects. In spite of this, she rarely loses the appearance that she’s calm and collected. Her decisions are well thought out and purposeful, as opposed to more spontaneous and frantic thought processes; the results may not be the most efficient or practical of solutions, but they are grounded in observations and her interpretation of the environment and people around her.
Others who know her well have described her as: thoughtful, sympathetic, and, in some cases, maternal. Her warm personality is often overshadowed by her tendencies to daydream and occasionally give a cold shoulder; she has an air of whimsical innocence about her, although it is impossible to tell if it is an act designed to be a coping mechanism with some past trauma, or if it is a genuine part of her personality. Around strangers and those unfamiliar to her, it is a different story; while she tends to be courteous and polite, she’s notably distant, and it can take a long time to get her to consider someone as anything more than an acquaintance or co-worker.
In battle, there is a hidden craftiness within Karin that comes to light. If there is a way to debilitate, distract, or otherwise take the attention away from her for longer than a second, she will find a way to make it happen. She tends to keep at a distance from her opponents, preferring to pick them off from a distance or find a way to avoid them entirely. Traps, ambushes, and other guerrilla-style tactics have all evolved from her time spent in the wilderness; she has learned how to be aware of a situation and how to exploit it to her advantage whenever possible. When fighting along teammates, she is more likely to try and influence the battle from afar rather than becoming directly involved with it, unless she is ordered to do so. As a leader, she tries to make sure the outcome of an event comes out to her teammate’s benefit: whether that is in the immediate or the long term is on a case-by-case basis. While, outside of battle, she is a warm and caring soul, her fight-or-flight instinct turns her into a ruthless commander, and can be judgmental of slip ups from anyone if the situation is exceptionally stressful.
Likes:
◈ Quiet Time- Any chance she can get, she will indulge in a bit of quiet time to collect her thoughts and meditate on the day’s events.
◈Nature- She can’t get enough of being outside and away from the cities.
◈Birds- Her favorite kind of animal.
Dislikes:
◈Loud People- She finds them obnoxious and rude, but puts up with them nonetheless…
◈Close-Quarters Combat- As an archer and a huntress, she would prefer to be out of reach and sending arrows at people rather than using a blade or similar weapon.
◈Demons/Supernatural- It’s always left a bitter taste in her mouth whenever she speaks with one...
Motivations:
◈Self-preservation- Despite the selflessness her nature would seem to imply, it would be misleading to say that she’s entirely willing to do whatever is necessary to save someone or something; if it’s their life or hers, she’s going to try to keep herself alive before she thinks about anyone else.
◈Self-worth- She is always trying to prove to herself that’s worth something, even if it’s not obvious to anyone observing from the outside...
◈Harmony- Despite her other, arguably selfish motivations, she does seek harmony overall rather than to cause waves and rock the boat.
Fears:
◈Her father- Let’s just say she has daddy issues...
◈Wolves- Traumatic childhood experience...
◈Tornados- More childhood trauma...
General Appearance
Height: 5’9”
Weight: Nope, not telling.
Hair: White
Eyes: Bright amber
Skin Tone: Pale
Appearance: Tall and elegant, one of the first words that comes to mind when someone first meets Karin is “regal”. Her long and silky whitish-silver hair—coming down well past her hips—is often allowed to flow freely when she is at home or around the guild hall. At any other occasion, it is usually tied in a loose tail: one band is tied at her shoulders, another about halfway down her back, and a final one about six to eight inches from the end of her hair; for formal occasions, the top band is replaced with a colored ribbon tied in a bow. Her wardrobe varies from day to day, but there is a clear dichotomy in how she dresses: when on jobs or doing anything require movement, she tends to wear clothes that allow for more agility and are more utilitarian in purpose; when relaxing, her outfits tend to be more feminine and appealing to the eye. Overall, her figure is slender and slightly willowy, although a closer inspection reveals an athletic constitution as opposed to an unhealthy slimness.
