Kara Matheson

Gender: Female
Age: 20

Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics:

Personality: Meet Kara Matheson, potentially the biggest wind up merchant and the most stubborn, independent and perhaps threatening person you could ever meet without stepping into the depths of a Dark Guild. This isn’t to say she’s vicious, selfish or a threat to society, although she certainly could be if she were pissed off enough. No, she’s merely very set in her ways, and can come across as quite abrasive and abrupt. Her general attitude towards new people is somewhat cold at times, unless she is introduced via someone she trusts. It’s not that she doesn’t like people, she just struggles to speak with them on a friendly basis until she feels like they’re deserving of her friendship. Instead she will simply attempt to show some level of superiority over them, assuming they are not obviously of considerably higher rank than her. This ‘superior’ attitude has a tendency to rub people up the wrong way, however it is actually more of a front than anything else. The way she views it is that if they can’t show they want to try to be friends, or if they can’t cope with her supposed ‘superiority complex’ then they’re a waste of time. Ironically though this is actually one of her traits she hates the most, but is the one that she has found impossible to overcome over the years.

Once someone becomes her friend however, a whole new side is revealed. She is actually incredibly sweet on the inside, often going out of her way to help somebody out with a problem they’ve got, no matter how small. This does have a tendency to backfire though, as she’ll often jump into action without knowing all of the details surrounding the issue and end up red-faced for it. When embarrassed she will snap and will most probably throw something at the friend she was trying to help as if it were their fault. This is merely one of her quirks that is easily overlooked – although never forgotten – due to her unquestionable faith and loyalty.

She also has a tendency to really tease her friends, although never to the point of upsetting them, and never about particularly touchy issues. However, she is not particularly good at being teased herself, and will quickly retaliate to any attempts made by smashing the other person in the face with the nearest heavy object.

When battle ensues and she’s caught in it, she will stand firm with her beliefs. This stubbornness does mean she’s very susceptible to taunts, although being taunted will only make her even more threatening than she already is. What is surprising though is how quickly she will cool down once she’s released some of her rage, and she can often make a very well-sniped taunt back at the initial offender. She isn’t one to give mercy to somebody unless they are a friend. Even if a battle ends with her as the winner she will continue to torture the poor soul further by making them a kind of slave, making them do various chores for her.


Likes:

• Wine - Kara is somewhat of a wine connoisseur, and has collected many bottles of wine over the past few years. What's more, this hobby is not hindered by a hangover like most, as her magic completely prevents her from getting drunk in the first place!
  
  
• Magic - Kara was a late bloomer with her magic, only really beginning to learn and understand it in her late teens. However, this allowed her to really appreciate how great magic is, and has allowed her to meet many great people and friends.
  
  
• Animals - She’s never had a pet before, but Kara absolutely adores animals. She hopes to eventually save up enough money to get a pet. Unfortunately she often spends her money on wine instead. Life is full of such a tough decisions...
  

Dislikes:

• Perverts - Kara hates people who would rather spend their time trying to get her into their bed than trying to get to know her. People like this often receive a swift kick to the face.
  
  
• Dresses - After years of her youth being spent attending noble events and having to wear elaborate ballgowns and dresses, Kara has simply had enough. She almost outright refuses to wear a dress unless it is absolutely 1000% necessary.
  
  
• Pergrande - A rescue mission in Pergrande has taught her that those in power there are monsters who spread fear so as to stay in power. She lost her best friend in that mission, and she will never forgive Pergrande for it.
  

Motivations:

• Marick Lowell - The Wizard who pulled her out of her downward spiral, who took her under his wing and was like a father to her. The man who taught her to control her magic, and the man who took his last breath fighting to protect both her and his biological daughter. She lives now to repay that faith and love that he showed not just for her, but for the wizards and people of Fiore.
  
  
• To become a better wizard - The last few years have been rough on Kara; she lost her guild, she lost her best friend and mentor, and now she's back to being all alone in the world once more. But unlike her youthful years she has a goal now. She intends to take Marick's mantel and become a powerful wizard and protect those around her. She will not lose anyone else.
  
  
• Get a damn pet! - She's been a registered Wizard in Fiore for two years now, has been taking jobs, and yet she still doesn't have a damn pet! This must be changed!
  

Fears:

• Going back to the way she was - Kara resents how she acted in the years following her mother’s death, and despises the possibility of returning to that attitude. She felt herself slipping back again when she lost Marick, but managed to pull through. Nonetheless, she knows that her old self is still there, sleeping beneath the surface.
  
  
• Being embarrassed - Kara is naturally a very proud young woman, something which most likely comes from her noble blood. Thus she will immediately knock a person unconscious to make them forget an embarrassing moment ever happened, and then flee the scene.
  
  
• Losing someone else that she loves - This is pretty much a typical fear of everybody, but this has been pushed into Kara’s mind after she lost her mother, and then again more recently when she lost Marick. She is terrified of getting too close to people, but knows it's an inevitability and that she will feel that pain again.
  

General Appearance

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 109lbs
Hair: Kara’s hair is of a violet colour with two small protrusions at the top of her head that look similar to cats ears, and reaches down below her waist and almost halfway down her thighs. She has a white hairpiece on the left side of her hair that she cherishes and that is always kept on. She will occasionally put her hair up into a ponytail, although this is purely dependent on whether she can be bothered or if it is necessary for something she needs to do.

Eyes: Violet
Skin Tone: Pale
Appearance: Kara is quite a pretty young woman with a slender figure that allows her to get away with wearing pretty much everything. Her preferred clothing changes on a regular basis, although a simple jean and hoody combination or a shirt and skirt combo are the common choices she will return to. She will occasionally wear a dress, although her many years of going to noble events has caused some resentment towards wearing them in public.

Appearance:

Guild: Sabertooth
Tattoo: Kara's Sabertooth guildmark is located upon her right thigh in Violet.
