Due to her fascination with Europe, Kara enjoys reading travel magazines and reading books that focus on exploration. [b]Backstory:[/b] Kara was born with an irregular heartbeat. Even though it didn't bother her much as a kid, her mother pressed to have her stay inside if there was even a slight chance of bad weather. Kara stayed in most of the time as a child and spent time with her grandmother since her mother was always so busy. Her mother then met a man from Japan and had a child, before they decided to move to Japan. Kara didn't want to leave her home with her grandmother and it was decided that the girl would continue to get treatment in the United States while she stayed with her grandmother. The two of them loved to cook together, especially sweets. As she grew into her teens, her symptoms got worse. Kara now suffers from Arrhythmia, specifically Bradycardia. This is when your heartbeat is too slow. It can mean that not enough blood reaches your brain and can cause you to pass out. After spending a few more years being treated by the doctor's in America, she was deemed safe enough to move to live with her parents in Japan. While she was sad to leave her grandmother, the older woman gave her a parting gift and the two of them would frequently send baked goods by mail to each other. After winning a cooking competition at her high school, Kara's talent was written out in the newspaper and wealthy men and women called on her to make her dishes for them, soon gaining them as sponsors. Finally, she was invited to Hope's Peak Academy to continue her studies.
