==Background==
Kari auditioned for roles as Ashe and Shelke at the same time and was booked for both of them within a day of each other. For her role as Ashe, she took a theater class on Shakespeare in order to sound more regal to fit the role of a princess. She has also stated that playing Shelke was challenging as she had to convey a completely emotionless character.http://www.uffsite.net/interview2.php
