Echo Rose posted this video on her channel September 16th 2019, but it was filmed on September 13th.

Because of a nosebleed in both nostrils, Carma plugged her nose with tampons. Echo explains the significance of the Pisces Moon and they begin the Full Moon Ritual by writing two things they desire or want on pieces of paper. Carma writes "I want to know what happened" and "~~I want to solve~~ I want a girlfriend". They then show the audience items of significance that they brought. Carma has brought a bottle of Holula Hot Sauce, her only piece of makeup (an eyeliner) and a silver medallion that depicts the Virgin Mary, which is a family heirloom. They meditate on the circle for a few seconds with Carmen looking visibly upset. Echo reads Carmen's Tarot Cards and Carma looks very sad when she talks about the Five of Cups, which symbolizes grief.

Carma accidentally reveals the identity of her secret crush, Misty Graves. After a brief visit at a local coffee shop, the proceed to walk around the local graveyard, where a strange man can be seen in the background, watching them and smoking a cigarette.

### *looking for Carma*

*Main article:* looking for Carma

Zipper Films posted this video on November 26, 2019.

The video shows Echo and Zip looking for Carma in the bog, following a trail of empty beer cans and wine bottles until they finally find her sleeping under a tree. Carma, still very drunk, mentions that she goes into the bog at night, and says that she heard another person. Her friends carry her home and at the end of the video explain that Carma's mother is looking after her.

## Personality

Despite her quirky style and sense of humor, Carma often seems rather insecure and introverted. She does not always seem comfortable talking about her feelings, at least on camera. It would also appear that she is easily intimidated, as can be seen in her reaction to a possible lawsuit from an unknown party in her video *the truth* on the Zipper Films YouTube channel.

As indicated in the videos Gifts for Carma!! and looking for Carma, she appears to be in severe emotional distress, the reason for which still needs to be determined. Carma's current lack of psychological stability is shown to have resulted in sleep deprivation, sleepwalking and alcoholism. Despite the severity of these problems, Carma was seemingly unable to reach out to anyone around her, resulting in her friends and her mother only finding out about her issues when Carma got caught lying about her whereabouts one night and was effectively missing for a number of hours. These events show how introverted and hurt she actually is, and the worrying competence she displayed when it came to hiding this fact.

## Astrology

### Taurus Sun

The Taurus woman is an infinitely fun-loving woman who approaches life with a naive, unspoiled, childlike vision and in doing so freely spreads joy. Taurus is a fixed Earth ruled by Venus making her a beauty loving, sensual, and always embracing the finer things in life while still having a deep reverence for nature. Taurus women are hard workers, but rest just as hard too. Generally they are stable and reliable in everything they do. If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing until they reach the point where they are satisfied with it. When pushed they can be as stubborn, possessive, and uncompromising in what they think, believe, and do.

### Pisces Moon

The moon sign rules over a persons emotions making a lunar Piscean dream and not always in touch with real life. Pisces being a more psychic sign influences these individuals to have a sharp intuition bordering on psychic abilities, tending to pick up on the things around them more so than others which leads to them trusting their gut to act on their hunches. For someone with a Pisces moon, romance is vital. This dreamy sign has always wanted the kind of fairytale romance that we read about going up.

### Family

Carmen's mother moved from Paraguay to live in Nettlebrook with Carmen's father. Carmen's father was absent and Carmen has no memory's of him. Her mother works as a nurse.

Carmen also lives with her aunt, who she calls "tía". Her aunt and uncle came to live with her mother along with their daughter Flora Gonzalez, who disappeared in 2009 when she was in High School. Carmen was 11 at the time.

### Religion

Carmen was raised Catholic and attends Mass. but states that she is mostly Agnostic. She also has a traditional silver necklace that depicts the Virgin Mary, which she inherited and treasures greatly.

Carmen is open-minded, participating in the Full Moon Ritual, meditating, and by getting her Tarot read.

### Languages

Carmen is Bilingual, speaking fluently in both Spanish and English.

### Mental Health

Carmen is very introverted and suffers from depression.

### Alcohol and Drugs.

Carmen describes herself as an alcoholic preferring Miller Light. She is shown drinking in several of her YouTube videos and posted a photo to her Instagram holding a bottle of vodka.

Shortly after her announcement that she would be opening the chest in her room, Carma went missing for several days, until she was found by Echo and Zip in the bog. Carma was highly intoxicated and had apparently emptied several cans of beer and at least one bottle of wine.

Carmen does not do illegal drugs including recreational Marijuana. Zip Wilson gifted her a bottle of CBD gummies, a type of Marijuana edible in *Gifts for Carma!!* through it is unknown if she ate any.

## Relationships

### Zip Wilson

Carma's relationship with Zip seems to be very positive. She refers to him as "the most pleasant person [she has] ever encountered" in Echo's video *Full Moon Party!*.

### Echo Rose

Echo and Carma seem to have developed a close friendship within a very short period of time, despite their contrasting personalities. While Carma is often taken aback by Echo's extroverted attitude and has some difficulty opening up and relating to her, Echo's enthusiasm and positivity appear to rub off on her within minutes, as can be seen in their videos *Full Moon Party!* and *dr0nk makeup tutorial*. These videos also indicate that Carma is trying to embrace her more "feminine" side, and accepting Echo's help in order to find a girlfriend.

### Flora Gonzalez

Flora was Carma's cousin and mysteriously disappeared in 2009, when Carma was only 11. Since the girls most likely spent a large portion of their childhood together, she was so close to Flora that " she was basically a sister to [her]". Carma still seems very shaken about her loss.

### Hunter Holloway

Carmen mentioned meeting Hunter Holloway during his initial investigation into the disappearance of her cousin, Flora Gonzalez, in an Instagram live stream.

She also revealed in a DM that the Zipper Films Crew is being employed by Hunter Holloway after losing their scholarships and that he will assist with their investigation.
