## Appearance

Karly has very ashy brown hair that is tousled and naturally messy. She has fair skin, rosy cheeks, and two unique shades of blue eyes. This condition is known as heterochromia indium- where there are two different colours in the iris of each eye- so, Karly's left eye colour is sky blue, while the other one is cyan. Her small, plain magenta scarf droops down to where her collarbone is, and matches her casual, comfy dark cerise jumper with three light pink stripes across the chest. The sleeves also drop far down to her arms. Underneath, she wears fluffy lavender purple shorts with lighter baggy knee high socks and dark classic trainers. Her clothing choice is likely down to her insecurities surrounding her body image, as its shown that Karly never developed breasts during puberty, and is entirely flat-chested.

Same as Lightning, Karly also holds a **Gadget C.O.B.Y 2000** on her wrist under her sleeve, and was also gifted a magical geode too by the Rainbooms. She hides it underneath her scarf around her neck and still continues that trend in Season 2, but in that outfit, you can see it. Karly is notably shorter than Lightning, but not most people can see it. To them, they are the same size, so everything applying to Lightning is the same to Karly.

## Personality

Having come out of her shell considerably since adolescence, Karly is a fun-loving girl, but also one with a strong sense of justice. She prefers to stick by the rules and not risk getting into trouble, as well as lives at her own pace and never rushes into anything. She shares this quality with her Pixel friend, Arianna, and the shy Rainbooms member, Fluttershy. Karly is sometimes also prone to stressing when faced with pressure of any kind, and is quite mentally fragile and sensitive to criticism. Karly has a very affectionate relationship with her lover, Jace. Being boyfriend and girlfriend at the start of his first appearance, they are arguably one of the closest out of everyone in the group. She tends to depend on him and, sometimes, Lightning, a lot, which can sometimes cause conflict.

Karly is a very anxious young woman, and her anxiety is amplified further by the fact that she travels and adventures into unknown locations with Lightning, always unaware of what they could encounter. Because of this, she often finds herself alone within her own thoughts, where in which she tends to go into internal states of panic. However, despite her rampant paranoia, Karly is actually a very quiet kid, and will gladly let other people do the talking for her. However, it really depends on WHO she is talking to. When it comes to talking and behaving to certain people, Karly to described to react in one of these four 'S's; shy, sassy, stubborn or sweet. If its Lightning, her boyfriend, The Fireflies or the Rainbooms, or any other amiable companion of theirs, she will be as sweet as pie. If its her ex, bullies, enemies or generally a hostile person, she will be either scared (if she's meeting them for the first time) or annoyed. Again, it depends on what kind they are.

Karly enjoys admiring Sheroham and Canterlot City's environment, and she takes a particular interest in the tiny magic particles she sees fly around CHS. She also loves to marvel at the sun when it rises and sets, getting a good feel of the world. She's an artist, so sometimes she even draws and paints what she sees. Any landscape is her inspiration, and this hobby of hers gets her through life, almost melting away her anxiety when she's feeling that way. No amount of therapy can contain her stress, just a pencil or a brush.

## Abilities

Karly Crystal is represented as the element of determination towards The Rainbooms. With that, her equestrian magical geode gifted her the ability of teleportation, as well as summon and create vortex portals, allowing her to transport objects, make objects disappear and reappear, shape the earth, etc.

### Teleportation

So, with her geode, Karly can teleport objects and people, or herself anywhere and anytime as long as she is touching them. It doesn't depend on how small or big they are, any object or person can be transported. However, teleporting three or more people/larger objects will take a toll on her, as she has passed out from the strain before in the past.

It's unclear how many times or how far she can teleport too, but she does appear to have a limit. Nothing overly dramatic happens when teleporting either. How it works is that Karly senses where she wants to teleport, and in a flash, she fades away, only leaving a few sparkles of magenta glitter in her place, then re-appears in the spot she wanted to go to.

### Vortex Portals

Besides teleportation, Karly can also pick up things, throw them about, and teleport them using portals that have a swirling pink vortex inside. She creates them by drawing imaginary circles anywhere, and letting a golden outer outline the circles, then the vortex appears. It can be any size, or any shape, squares and triangles are allowed to become portals, as long as Karly can draw them with her fingers or item she is holding, such as a pencil.

### Wall Phasing

Phasing through walls is a technique Karly learns later on throughout the series. After she makes physical contact with a wall or any sort of fence, window or even flooring, on her command, she will be able to transform the part she’s touching into a pink gravity-defying liquid, and directly swim through, emerging on the other side before it closes up and reverts back to normal.

It is entirely possible for her to bring objects and people through walls with her, but only if they are latched onto a part of her, whether she is holding the object or the person’s hand or anywhere else.

## Trivia

* Karly may wear a lot of pink and magenta, but really, she prefers the colour blue. It would have been her original colour if Lightning hadn't struck first.

* Karly gave Lightning the nickname 'Sparker'. However, it didn't catch on.
* Before Jace, Karly had a boyfriend called Danuel Dussault. They began dating when they were only twelve, but then broke up the next year. Karly now just wants to cut him out of her life forever, despite him constantly trying to call and asking her if they can get back together.

* Karly has a terrible scar on her ankle from when her foot got caught in a bear trap while escaping an insane man that was after her dog.
* Karly can't swim, and the reason behind that is because she has difficulties moving her arms and legs while in water.

Lightning stopped it and saved her, but Karly never got over the fear of being in water or swimming after that.
* Before she became busy with going on missions and adventures, Karly was a phone wizz. She would always be on her phone whenever you saw her either researching something, playing games, or even recording/filming something suspicious. She never leaves home without one.
