Karolina Nováková

**Karolina Nováková** is a student that attends Arlington Academy.

## Description

"*Considered by many to be the prettiest girl in school, Karolina specializes in modelling. She’s gorgeous and fully aware of her charm. She is ruthless and will do anything to get what she wants. However, despite her overachieving ways and her promising future, Karolina finds herself struggling with her image and building relationships in general. Her best friend and "second in command" is Neha.*"

## Appearance

Karolina has long red hair that ends mid back and light blue eyes. She is five feet, nine inches tall in her light tan heeled boot she wears over thigh high black socks. She has her blazer wrapped around her waist, and wears a lace petticoat underneath her skirt.

## Personality

Karolina is a competent individual valuing this quality specifically when it comes to people. She is a very sharp girl with sharp tongue and incredibly talented model.

She has a really strong personality and doesn't fear to say what she thinks. She is condescending with most people and is very hard to get along with her because of her "model" attitude, as described by Ms. Nabila Khan. It's exactly this personality that marks her as a leader when it comes to group works and social situations.

## Biography

Karolina comes from a rich family and was born in Czech. Her mother is a failed model and because of that she is expecting much from her daughter, causing high performance pressures for her since young age.

Karolina's parents controlled her life and friendships in her childhood, dooming most people too ignoble to be Karolina's friend. Because of this or people's secret intentions to use her family's wealth to their own account, Karolina eventually lost all her friends, usually even before reaching friendship status, since no one of them was willing to stand up and endure her parents behaviour. Before Neha, she feels she hadn't had any true friend and had spent her entire life in loneliness. Karolina is somewhat bitter of her parent's actions, especially her mother's.

Karolina's lonely and cramped childhood is the root for why she despised scholarship students: She had worked so hard to be the best and got in Arlington Academy because of her hard-earned talent while scholarship students could get in just by passing one test. She later realised she didn't actually hate scholarship students and was only redirecting her own bad feelings to them: the ones she hated was her own insecurities and suffocating pressures to be perfect and scholarship students reminded her what she would be without her talents; imperfect beings without any right to be succesful - thoughts she has possibly assumed while growing up under strick atmosphere.

## Relationships

### Tegan

Tegan and Karolina are twins, though, on Chapter 2, he doesn't seem too keen on talking to his sister. They are really different from each other.
Although they don’t always get along, they are strongly attached to each other. He was shown angry, frustrated and worried when she fainted before everybody and he was held back by security.

### Neha

Neha and Karolina are best friends and roommates. Neha often worries about Karolina's health and fears her having a burnout someday. Neha calls her "Karol". Their relationship was later on pause when Karolina found out Neha was a scholarship student but they quickly made out.

### Alistair

Karolina does not like Alistair, probably because he's a scholarship student, but tolerates him for a very specific reason. They are seen bickering with one another, only to be stopped by Tadashi. Their relations have gotten better with time.

### Tadashi

Karolina is believed to have a not-so-secret crush on Tadashi, but he doesn't seem to return her feelings. As Axel said on Chapter 2, it's a shame Karolina is always beautiful, but Tadashi never seems to notice her. Tadashi and Karolina later talked about the situation.

### Parents

There isn't much known about their relationship, but in Chapter 7, Tegan talks about how Karolina got the nagging side of their mom.
