Karyn was still Karyn, but now a new Karyn. Karyn Black had been a spunky tomgirl, a good friend, foolish at times, but loyal, funny, charming, kind, and independent, she was insecure about things but you would really have to get to know her to tell, she had a great poker face which hid her knowledge of her failings. That she wasn't as pretty as the others, wasn't as popular, wasn't as smart, wasn't what you would expect from a girl. She had tucked into this, bought in and made an image of herself that was "Karyn Black: Iconoclast!". She stood apart from the rest, because she didn't fit in with the rest, and that was where she had made her own personal throne for her to sit on and "be herself", she was the outsider, the one who didn't care what you thought, to those who looked at her and her devil may care attitude which she wore as a green sweater. It's not like she wanted this role, but it was where she was, it was who she had become to the people who knew her. Fact was her first chance to change her situation, to become more like the other girls, to fit in, she couldn't help but take advantage of with an errant wish for boobs and hair that might make her more acceptable, more part of the group. The tragic problem from this mistaken wish was that it didn't change anything, before she was a redhead with small boobs, now a blonde with large ones, and nobody had cared or noticed and nothing had changed, she was still Karyn Black, so if she was to be that girl, she may as well be the one she was before rather than some cheap knockoff of Sarah McMillan. That was Karyn Black, but Karyn Black was gone.
In her place stood a new girl, still named Karyn, aware that there was once a girl who must have had a life similar to hers who had the name Karyn Black, but she also knew that she was not that girl, that was someone else. She was Karyn Brewer, sister of the largest girl in school Gladys. This Karyn was a jock, or at least she tried to be, being big ran in the Brewer family, it clearly got the better of her older sister, and Karyn didn't want that to happen to her. Karyn was taller, wider, built like a linebacker even though she was a girl. She deeply wanted to be on the volleyball court, but was too thick for that, she ended up playing softball, her extra weight made her an excellent batter, but she always was trying to keep that extra weight off. It was a losing battle, but the Jock in her was a fighter, a contrast to roguish Karyn Black, this Karyn found herself in a constant struggle not to be her sister, it showed, she was most certainly in better shape than her globular sized sister, but she was still to big to be considered actractive, or even overtly feminine, what she could do was use her size to win, she knew how to throw her weight around, had she been allowed to play football with the boys, she would have been an asset to the team, one of the team heroes, but she was stuck as a girl, in girl sports, she resented that quirk of her birth, her feminitiy. It not only kept her from the field, but also kept the boys who she liked away from her, nobody ever treated her like a girl, they all just saw a hulking mass, intimidating, brusing, and she hated the cute girls like Sarah for it. Jon was a bright spot in all this, who had maned up and took her to homecoming that year, maybe out of pity, but she at least had a guy with her that night, even if he was two inches shorter than her amazonian frame. At the end of the night she had grabbed him and kissed him as a thank you, which he had taken awkwardly, but well. They had never spoken of that night since...this Karyn was n't good with tact, zero charisma.
"I've got to get to the gym, you should join me, you know....it'd help with that stuff." She couldn't help but look at his arms with a sort of "come on dude." look in her eyes.
She quickly ran off, but not before giving Jon a peck on his cheek, she had to bend slightly to do this. The she turned to her still open info page and turned it off herself, brushing it aside like it was a bug in her way. As she did that Jon heard a voice.
"Player 2 has entered the game!"
