Kasumi Karen

~~~~

Karen is a deeply Christian woman who, appropriately enough, works at a soapland. She does stuff with fire every once in a while too. Now, the people at CLAMP have apparently invested in a thesaurus of some kind in order to talk about Karen as much as possible without coming out and saying that she's a whore. They avoid that word altogether. Now, I'm as big a fan of hidden pasts as the next guy, but come on...she's walking around in lingerie, for Pete's sake. Now, as any females out there know, lingerie is not for normal use. It's for inducing a slack-jawed stupor into your significant others when they get confused and think they have a spine. Nevertheless, Karen walks around in a little teddy and garters giggling a lot, and somehow I know that were this animated, she would be bouncing.

The bounce is to distract the enemy guys why she turns them into charcoal. She had a suitable tragic past and her only childhood friend was a teddy bear her crazy mother gave her. Now she seems to be in love with a perfectly well adjusted guy with a steady income. The only problem is that he’s married and has a kid.
