[color=#CC6600][b]SKILLS:[/b][/color] 
[list]
[*] [b]Uncanny Agility[/b] - Years in the hot desert teaches you a few things, especially if it means that you can survive. Even more so when you often have to run for your life, which is the case with Karissa. She is swift on her feet, nimble with her hands and flexible with her body. Climbing rock faces with bare hands doesn't scare Karissa, but if she has to avoid getting hit she will probably still be fine. She's far more agile than her large size would make you think, and she'll happily cartwheel around you all day to prove her point.

[*] [b]Spellcaster[/b] - Karissa didn't grow up with a sword in hand like many others. Heck, she hardly had time to grow up at all before being thrust into a life where she had to survive. But what she lacks in martial proficiency, she more than makes up in her magical potential: though still young and inexperienced with magic, Karissa has experimented with her ability to manipulate the air around her via magic, creating diverse effects that are mostly limited by her imagination: and her reserve of magic.

[color=#CC6600][b]APPEARANCE[/b][/color]
From the moment one lays eyes upon Karissa, her unique features become obvious. Her stature is taller than that of most men, and her skin is surprisingly pale for someone who spends her days in the blazing sun, and her shapely body quickly attracts all kinds of attention. While both of these can be explained by her innate magic messing with her body, the hows and the whys of this curious phenomenon remain a mystery. Of course hardly anything is simple in Karissa's life, and most tend to stop pondering about these questions when they stare into her enchanting golden gaze. 

[color=#CC6600][b]PERSONALITY[/b][/color]
Karissa has all the features you would expect from someone who had to grow up too quickly. She is serious and her head is always thinking about the next step. She is a problem solver who tends to lead by example, even when she isn't aware that she is doing it. But at the same time, the small girl she once was still remains inside her heart, and comes out when in the company of family or friends like a shy bird who flutters away at the first sight of danger. Still, a certain degree of playfulness almost always shines through, a feature that Karissa happily tends to ignore when questioned about.

All in all, Karissa is just a large kid, who is looking to get by. She tends not to search for emotional attachments, but finds herself falling for people over and over again, a fact that often drives her to travel. She is someone who would be equally happy with a teddy bear and a crate of silver coins, though would never admit to one of these two. But when you manage to take away the mask of the girl "too serious for life", you'll find a girl who is looking for a place with people she could call family.
