Karina The Mawile

**Karina The Mawile** is a houseguest on *Pokemon Big Brother 2* and *Pokemon Big Brother 5*.

Karina was often subjected to assumptions of being "cold" by the other houseguests, which only made dents in her social game. This made it all the more difficult to sway votes when Faith The Aipom had planned to target her by nominating her against Tamara The Goodra. Karina, lucky enough to be swooped up by Sound From Underground, became one of their members and narrowly stayed against Tamara in a nail-biting 7-6 vote. Karina, not wanting to let the opportunity get away from her, planned to exact her revenge on those who she felt were partly responsible for her nomination and voted her off. She had her goal to split up Suzie The Espeon and Darren The Mightyena, successfully eliminating Darren from the game with her first HOH. After Andrew The Poliwhirl had nominated their friend Kali The Nidorina for being too close with alliance member Eric The Mudbray, Karina turned the heat down to try and avoid the controversy surrounding Andrew. Karina mainly remained with Sound From Underground for votes, and mainly took the back seat while Andrew and Isaac The Rhydon were becoming bigger targets. Edwin The Gourgeist had told Karina that Andrew, Isaac, and Colton The Golem would never take her to finale with them and were wanting to ideally take her out in Week 10. Not to be bested, Karina eventually caved in to these rumors and turned on her former allies, starting with a vote to send Isaac out of the house. With her second HOH win and an explosive fight that lasted several days, Karina had successfully gotten rid of Andrew who she believed was holding her back from being her best self. Unfortunately, Edwin's tricks were all for show as Finneas The Drampa had given Karina the heads up that Edwin planned to save Emily The Chansey with the veto, leaving her betrayed yet again. Though Edwin ended up saving Finneas, Finneas turned his back on Karina and Colton, voting Karina out and leaving her blindsided. She was evicted 2-0 and became the fifth juror.

On finale night, she voted for Edwin to win.

Karina competed again on Pokemon Big Brother 5, swearing to not be as gullible as she was on her first run. Voting in the minority on the first eviction spelled disaster for her social game, but she was not anyone's immediate target. Karina would rely on floating between people, wanting her bases covered on all fronts. She would make one true ally with Ken The Ivysaur, whom she believed had changed from his first run. Initially wanting to remove a perceived threat in Cade The Electabuzz, Karina would have to shift her target to Roberta The Staravia following Cade's veto win. Knowing she was gunning for Ken after Easton The Marowak clued her in, Roberta was backdoored, and Karina's HOH was a success. Karina played neutral to the feud between Jameson The Honchkrow and Shaunie The Cinccino, not hesitant to evict both targets back to back. Karina would lose Ken to Livi The Indeedee after being nominated alongside him, but she stayed with zero votes against her. Karina had started noticing how Easton was getting really strong in jury management and had sought to target him. She put him next to house wildcard Luca The Monferno, resulting in a botched HOH reign when Luca was evicted unanimously for being untrustworthy. Karina had gotten Cade and Emily The Blissey on her side against Easton, but Emily would be evicted at the Final 4 when Easton won veto. Having the upper hand, Karina cast her vote against Easton out of fear he was a jury threat, bringing Cade to the Final 2.

The jurors praised Karina's social game but were critical of some of her failed HOH reigns, particularly with Luca The Monferno's eviction. Regardless, her jury management and amazing social game earned her 6 votes to Cade's 3 and crowning her the winner.
