"Promise me something, will you? That with me, we will fight on, for we are those that fight further. The two of us, I wouldn't have it any other way." - to Jeff Wright

Kara refers to the person recently uncovered to be a born clone of Kari Frost made to reside in the "Aether" dimension. She is identical to Kari in every way except that she simply is not Kari herself, even being identical down to DNA. Same skill set, same memories up until the revelation (latest December 2090), and even supposedly the same *Sweet Dreams Requiem*. Upon this revelation Kara found herself with a newfound freedom and a lack of identity, then being haunted by her meaningless existence. With her freedom she chooses to carry out Kari's will and act as an ambassador and a friend to Kari as she continues to carry on in the "Aether" dimension with Jeff, Duke, Hugh, Caz, and more. Even going as far as still upholding the goal of returning Nate back to World Zero, only to find a new problem as the Nate with her is also a fake.

Kara's personality is the same as Kari's and either could pass as each other, especially given that Kara is able to morph her looks to however given she can see the likeliness of who she wishes to be or what she wishes to look like. Kari is able to do the same using *Sweet Dreams Requiem* but only with her face, hair, and eyes whereas Kara can do such as a changeling. Kara chooses to still resemble Kari's face and body build but with different colored hair and eyes, as well as having a different wardrobe style.

## **Personality**

Kara is very much different in personality to the person she was made to clone, Kari Frost. Kara is rude, challenging of those in rank, and often very intimidating. Even her own friends are reluctant to get too close to her, and sometimes she even doesn't make any sense in an attempt to seem even colder. Yet, somehow past all of that she is given respect due to the results of her actions. Her priorities for such are to make sure no one is collateral and to only kill when necessary, do things subtly and quietly, and make it fun if you can; in that order.

It takes time for Kara to warm up to people, but to the other four she works with she feels a positive connection to work with them out of comradery. This is not the case, however, with Jeff Wright. He often considered her his best friend in his whole life, making the patch she wears on her now lone pauldron on her left arm. This was because the friend he had was Kari, having felt deceived of Kara's real identity. Through determination and reassurance Kara was able to prove her worth to him was all the same, and by that she too felt what he does. This makes Jeff the only one she considers a real best friend from said group, as the others are more like friends through experience. Similarly she would put her life on the line for any one of them, and also for those in need.

To everyone else in World Zero she is just as cold as Kari once was going under the alias of Stygian. Whereas Kari saw the good in others' hearts and grew to like them Kara is all the same, but harder to reach. Kara is similar to Kari in that serious attitude, but instead of smiling often and inspiring others Kara is more one to boss others around and speak more seriously and firmly to others she crosses paths with. The sole exception is that she feel subordinate to Kari, being a fake of her, whereas Kari feels that Kara is being too hard on herself. Kara also treats Voce more like a sibling or a cousin, someone not her son, as she also feels not on par with Kari but below her. Lastly, Kara feels really awkward around Nate given that the one she encountered believing she was Kari was also a fake. This leads Kara to be distant towards the real Nate out of a state of nervousness.

## **Appearance**

Previously, Kara wore a long tailcoat with bisected sleeves to create long, flowing tassels of cloth that each had a purple stripe at the ends. Also previously she wore silver pauldrons on each shoulder. Other than these clothing articles she wears the same as seen now.

Of what were the same in both outfits are a black suit vest and rolled-up shorter shorts, black translucent tights with similar knee pads to one of Kari's sneaking suits, and identical boots to Kari minus the lace color being purple instead. On her right arm is a latex sleeve that covers her elbow up to a purple hand sleeve identical to Kari's. On her left arm is a latex glove that covers from her bicep down to her hand, which is cut like a racer's glove. On her hip is an older-styled black leather handgun holster, bolted to two straps that circle around her waist and her right thigh.

Different to a previous look, Kara now only has one pauldron on her left arm that is adorned with a handmade patch of a steering wheel with the text, "King of the Asphalt Fight" arcing around it. She wears a sweater that only has the left sleeve, zipped up halfway over her bust, that only covers partially down over her abdomen. Lastly, in both instances of her clothing styles she maintains the black bandana identical to Kari.

## **Trivia**

* Kara has had to refer to others like herself, clones of Kari, on many occasions. When in the company of others she feels comfortable around, or those used to her, she refers to the real Kari as "Onaji-sama". The word, onaji, is Japanese. It means "same", as in how she and Kari were once the same person. The "sama" is a prefix used to refer to someone both politely and formally, like "sir" or "miss".
* Kara, just like Kari, knows English, German, Japanese, and Italian. Kara goes one up and knows the language of the heavens as well.

## **Quotes**

* "When it comes down to it, I prefer conflict be permanently solved without bloodshed. I don't enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other. Practiced hands make for short work, and someone's lord knows there's much to be done here." - to Jeff Wright
* "When it comes down to it, I prefer conflict be avoided in lieu of peace. I don't enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other. Practiced hands make for short work, and I know there's much to be done here." - to the Chosen Ones
* "I have to confess, the greatest way I've felt about your resistance reminds me of a song lyric as such, 'What's going on, could this be my understanding? It's not your fault, I was being too demanding. I must admit, it's my pride that made me distant. All because I'd hoped you'd be someone different'."- to Ping Keraser
* "Did you know that 100% of all decisions made held at gunpoint by me will result in getting you shot?" - to a captured enemy soldier who thought of running away
* "I can't think of why, but something deep in my soul, I have the need to yell...'Objection'!"
* "Do you realize what you've done, what you possibly have done to yourself, having consumed such a thing? That substance, we call it, 'Sprite Cranberry'. You are doomed." - to a weak enemy soldier who hath drank Sprite Cranberry in a world where it doesn't exist
* "Sagst sie 'Hallo' auf meine wenig Freunde."
* "You only know technicalities. Predictions, hypotheses, prophesies. You know not of emotion, or feeling. You favor what needs to be done over what others want to be done, other than your own. When someone's want grows strong, necessity to fulfill those desires comes both a means to please civilization and a means of self preservation. Right now, you must focus on preserving your life yourself from us." - to Azathoth, the elder being of chaos
* "I do not fight with my mind, for that who fights with their mind has forgotten their purpose of being. I fight with my soul."
