## Appearance

Karma has a lean and tall build, with well-built thighs. Her hair is identical to Kenma, black on top fading into blonde. She has long hair that she almost never takes out of a high ponytail, she has pieces that are pulled out by her ears and forehead. She has three piercings in each ear as well as a nose piercing on the right side of her nose.

She can often be seen wearing a black t-shirt, red sweatpants and a Nekoma jacket. During official matches, she wears the Nekoma jersey with the number "1."

When not in uniform of any kind, she wears black leggings and a red sweatshirt keeping up with the Nekoma colour scheme.

## Personality

Karma has a sarcastic and laid-back personality. She easily provokes people alongside Kuroo. Despite being sarcastic and provocative most of the time, she is actually very kind and understanding. She always apologizes if she thinks she may have made someone upset, while provoking them. She cares deeply and looks up to Kuroo.

When she was younger she had a very confident and loud personality but was severely bullied when she was eight till she was fourteen. People kept telling her she was "annoying," "boys will never like an annoying brat like you" and "do you ever shut up, your like a dog barking." This caused her to become severely withdrawn and depressed. She met Kuroo in her first year at Nekoma and he helped her come out of her "shell." She can never be seen more then five feet away from Kurro unless she's playing volleyball, practicing or is in class.

She is a very reliable, strong and understanding captian, she makes sure her teammates and underclassman are always cheerful and well.

## Background

From ages eight to thirteen she was severely bullied for her loud and outgoing personality, this caused her to become very withdrawn and depressed.

Her family moved when she was fifteen and she was enrolled at Nekoma. She was introduced to Kuroo and Kenma after she accidently ran into them trying to find her class, they offered to help her and they quickly became friends. Kurro helped Karma go back to her old personality and told her to never let what anyone says get to her and keep her head held high. She uses his advice everyday. Kuroo was the one who introduced her to volleyball after she went to his house where he and Kenma were practicing in the backyard. He invited her to join to which she accepted and she immediately fell in love with the sport. The next day she joined the Girl's Volleyball Team and went on to be their captain.
