Karen Tehama

**Karen Tehama** is a Safety Patroller and the force's forensic expert. Karen normally appears as a background character in most episodes of *Fillmore!* and she can be bribed to give lessons on forensics. She is voiced by Lauren Tom.

## Appearance

Karen is an light-skinned Japanese-American teenage girl with black eyes. Her hair is styled in pigtails, are naturally black and dyed with pink streaks, but held by pink hairbows. She wears a pink short-sleeved shirt with a white cat design, orange sash, blue jeans with red cuffs, white socks and black sneakers.

## History

Karen is mostly a background character so never a lot is known about her history other than the fact that she has a sharp interest in forensic science and she is Japanese-American. Karen has appeared in most episode and can generally depict the nature of a scene by the aftermath and the components of various crimes with her trusty powder, magnifying glass and microscope.

In one episode it is revealed that she can be bribed with a certain candy bar for lessons. Ingrid did this in A Wurm in Our Midst to get Tehama to teach her basic fingerprint detection with powder and brushes.
