History: here
Personality: Karolina is first and foremost optimistic- everything she does is in the hopes of it helping the Greater Good. She's, essentially, sunshine and rainbows. While at first glance this is endearing, her darker traits show up as a result of this. Karolina is manipulative- and though she does so with good intention, it still doesn't hide the fact that she uses others to try and achieve her goals. This trait is easily ignored, considering her naturally sweet and kind disposition, but it doesn't excuse the fact that she's put people in tough situations throughout the first season, simply because she thought it would help. Asking her father, for instance, to confront PRIDE and Jonah about the shady dealings they had.

Again, stemming from her optimism, is also her tendency to play devil's advocate, as seen when Chase destroys the laptop and she's spending more time trying to keep the peace within the group by defending him and his actions. The need to keep the peace in the group drives her, but it just doesn't always manifest in a positive way.

Though she's come out as both a sparkly acid dream and a lesbian (part way), she still struggles with her insecurities. Sometimes, as can be seen when she and Gert go back and forth over the fact that Chase likes her early on, she can fall into a bit of a mean girl act and intentionally provoke jealousy. (This likely stems from a very comfortable and spoiled lifestyle as well.)

Above all else, however, Karolina is loyal to her friends, despite the struggles she fights against. In an unknown situation, she'll remain optimistic to a fault (several faults, really)- though at first she will shy away and introvert it up.

Powers and Abilities: Without her bracelet, Karolina glows like a rainbow/celestial being from a light she emits. She can also hone this light and shoot it as a weapon and fly.

Inventory: Her bracelet- that's all she really needs from home.
