She is characterised by a ruthless level of rationality, drive, determination and sharp mind to achieve whatever she sets for herself, and others. She loves a challenge, big or small, and she firmly believes that given enough time and resources, she can achieve any goal. Her ability to think strategically and hold a long-term focus while executing each step of her plans with determination and precisions makes her a powerful leader. This determination is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, as she pushes through her goals through sheer willpower, where others might give up and move on, and because of her nature, this means that she is likely to push everyone else right along with her, achieving spectacular results in the process. Karena has a strong and independent survivalist instinct, due to her family heritage and long line of hunters, which gives her an advantage in combat situations, as well in creating complex plans to fight the supernatural. It is this outside the box thinking that allows her to adapt, and change a situation to meet her needs, and to ensure that her goals are met, completely. She is dominant, relentless and unforgiving in negotiations, not because she is cold hearted or vicious per se, its more that she genuinely enjoys the challenge, the battle of wits, the repartee that comes from such an environment, and if the other side can't keep up, that is no reason for her to fold on her own core tenet of ultimate victory. This means that at times she is not socially adept, and has a tough time making new friends due to the emotional strain on her life, due to being a hunter, and the demands of the supernatural world, making her appear hard and cold on the surface. Though she can be rather blunt and cold, she does have a vulnerable side which she only shows around those that she is close to, and has a rather natural maternal instinct when it comes to kids. If anyone gains her respect, it's someone who is able to stand up to her intellectually, who is able to act with a precision and quality equal to her own. She has a particular skill in recognising the talents of others, and this helps her in her team building efforts, (since no one, no matter how brilliant, can do everything alone) and this keeps her from displaying too much arrogance and condescension. She does however have a particular skill in calling out others failures with a chilling degree of insensitivity and this is when she usually starts to run into trouble. Emotional expression isn't her strong suit, her distance from her emotions is especially public, and felt directly by a broad swath of people, especially in a professional environment, she will simply crush the sensitivities of those they view as inefficient, incompetent or lazy. It is easy to make enemies with this approach, not that Karena minds. She is very strong and stubborn, rather determined and ruthless to get what she wants, at times crushing others as she goes along, and often she will react first and ask questions later- without worrying about the concerns of others. She is a true powerhouse, and she cultivates an image of being larger than life, and often enough, she is. She needs to remember though that there stature comes not just from her own actions, but from the actions of the team that props her up, and this is when she knows it is important to recognise the contributions, talents and needs, especially from an emotional perspective of her support network. While she knows not to take things for granted, this display of emotion can be particularly hard for Karena, given that she has come to be a bit self-centered and self-reliant. Although she will sacrifice herself for those she cares about. She rarely shows her softer side to those that she isn’t close with, a small circle to be sure, by her daughters- for she considers her niece to be a daughter, as she has raised her since she was a child- being two of the few. She would do anything for her girls, as she has a natural maternal instinct that comes out when she is around kids. Highly protective of both of them, they are Karena’s weakest link. She has learned not to take things for granted, her experiences having taught her to appreciate the things she has in life, what she values most, and not take them for granted. This is her girls, first and foremost, and they are perhaps the only things that keep her strong. Her greatest hope, her greatest dream, is that one day she will just be able to enjoy the simple pleasures of being a mother, and wife, although being a hunter is something she knows she will be for life.

Karena jogs and exercises regularly while sparing time to do cardio and light weight lift exercises at her gym along with archery and racquet ball. [color=Teal]| Strengths |[/color] ♦ Karena has a wide range of skills in both long and short ranged combat, and weaponry, particularly archery. This has come from long training, over many years, due to her hunter family status, she was trained to fight from a very young age, to give her the best chance at being a skill hunter. ♦ Karena has an extensive knowledge of the Supernatural, having her families bestiary, which she has studied since she was a child, Karena knows of many types of Supernatural creatures, and with a network between other hunters, she has access to more knowledge, should she come across something she knows nothing about. ♦ Her girls are perhaps her greatest strength, keeping her going when all else seems lost, she does what she does for them, to keep them safe and happy. [color=Teal]| Weaknesses |[/color] ♦ Her girls are perhaps her greatest weakness, they are what makes her vulnerable, and she will do anything for them, extremely protective of them both. ♦ highly stubborn, it often becomes hard to change her mind. Nearly all the time. ♦ Occasionally, she'll allow her emotions to get the better of her, which can have rather disastrous consequences. [color=Teal][b]History:[/b][/color] Although Karena is a capable leader and fierce hunter, she doesn't always get the perfect strategies and tactics considering most thing go to hell when the supernatural are concerned, but few hunters are as honed in combat as her. She's been taught skills with the usage of a whole host of various types of weapons, armor and ammunition. It isn't until she discovered the bow that her true abilities as a hunter come to fruition though. With guidance and training from a previous hunter in her younger years, her marksmanship is deadly in its precision and accuracy, allowing her to truly defend herself and others quietly and from a distance. Karena is a notorious hunter from the D’Nile family, known for her deadly precision, she shows these skills in not only the bow and arrow but in long-ranged weaponry and other target-shooting-based activities where it is rumoured she has never missed her target when dealing with a bow and arrow. Karena has a mutual understanding of protecting Klamath Falls with an unlikely individual, Zoé does protect it in her own way as a pack alpha. This mutual understanding has since grown into respect when over a month ago Zoé came to her house late in the night covered in blood and physically upset when she was forced to defend herself from being slaughtered by a hunter, Karena naturally did what any hunter would do first and checked her eyes to see any signs that the one the Alpha had killed was an innocent… Her eyes were not blue, this meant the hunter was rogue and not innocent. Karena helped Zoé get cleaned up, check for any signs of injury and get her a set of fresh clothes. The hunter came to learn a little bit about Zoé, that she was different, however the hunter was still weary.[/color] [img]https://media.giphy.com/media/QTkhqaIbVlngY/giphy.gif[/img] [/center] [hr][hr] [center][color=Teal] [h2]The Other[/h2] Although Karena is currently in a long-term relationship with Darien, the father of their Daughter Emilia. The stress of the relationship is at breaking point after years of constant fighting over trivial things and Cleo’s behavior, with the hunter choosing the Dhampir over her partner along with keeping secrets of the supernatural world from him, This has caused Darien accuse her of not being loyal as they generally do not spend as much time together anymore like they used to, this has really broken it down. God help the guy when she finds out how he has been treating Cleo behind her back...
