Appearance

She is a very short, very busty young adult with short purple hair that cascades down in two points on either side of her face, down to her shoulders. She has vivid purple eyes and pale skin. She typically dresses either in normal elite clothing (away from home), or as a stereotypical vampire when at home (low cut black dresses, fangs, the works). She usually looks slightly hapless, except when acting as a hostess. Then she looks quite confident. Especially if her family isn't attending.

Fetishes

Her Fetish is her Splat: Sailor Warrior

Personality:

Karin is a very nice and gracious person who usually seems to be in over her head at anything other than being a hostess or fighting. Despite being reasonably agile when it counts, she is somewhat klutzy the rest of the time (perhaps psychosomatic).

Like most Tepes, she fakes being undead; her family devote themselves to faking being vampires. Karin is not very good at faking being a vampire, except when she forgets her self-consciousness, and thus tends to either come off as very fake or a little scary, depending on whether she's paying attention to what she's doing.

She hates to fight and is hard to make fight, but will fight viciously if she has to. But she prefers running parties.

She has a deep bond with her younger sister, Anju, who is close to the Exaltation age, but already a brilliant thaumaturge. Her best friend is Nebbish Maki, who she met in school, and she has a crush on her assistant, Nebbish Usui.

History:

Tepes Karin grew up in a fairly normal branch of the Tepes Gang. Her family feign vampirism and lurk in a big gloomy castle on the north shore of the Realm, scaring the locals. She was sent to a normal primary school, and this has created a tension in her between her gang's customs and the normality expected in most of the Realm; Tepes kids get teased a lot.

Despite this, she made some friends, and one of them (Nebbish Maki) exalted with her during an attack by REAL undead. She also befriended (and fell in love with) Nebbish Usui, a poor but smart and hard-working mortal male. After she flunked her entrance exams to all the secondary schools, he came to work for her as she became a professional hostess for her family. (Maki went on to attend The Escherite Academy and is now a lawyer of some skill) She has flourished in that role.

However, her family is now looking to arrange her a marriage, and a hapless mortal Nebbish like Usui has little hope of securing the bond they both want. She doesn't know what she is going to do about this...

Storyteller's Notes:

Karin is a fairly normal flunk-out, someone who doesn't make the cut for the elite secondary schools, so their family has to find some kind of work for them. Her mother comes from a long line of moderately potent magical girls and hopes her daughter will manifest the same strength; she hopes to push Karin into going out and adventuring some, as that's the road to power. Her father is quietly sympathetic to her love for Usui, which she thinks her parents don't know about. He will help her if he can.

Of course, just to further complicate things, Usui himself is tagged by Destiny to exalt as a Stalwart Bishonen soon, which will likely make things messier...
