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 DeVries,and this Karyn believed in magic. Not in the immature gothic way like her sister, Athena, but she actually believed in something supernatural about the world, some power underlying everything which she could manipulate if she just learned how. She liked spending time in nature, reading books, studying things like the Kaballa and Tarot and spells. At one point she felt like she had been able to convince a teacher to give her an A on a test she hadn't even taken through a spell she cast, but it could have just been a mistake on his part. She felt like she was so close to a break through, just moments a way from true revelation of something ethreal and magical of calling down the blessings of the Gods, if only she could get it right! She was friends with Jon through a mutual misunderstanding and annoyance with their younger siblings, who were also friends. Athena and Zoe were goths and really into it, Karyn thought it was Athena attempting to be like her 'cool' older sister, but she just didn't get what magic was, magic was life giving, not dark, unless you were doing it wrong. Jon also didn't judge her somewhat strange interests in magic, if she needed to go into the forest to find berries and moss for a potion he was more than willing to come along for the ride. He even tried a love potion she made once, but it made him sick for a couple of days...still she thought he gave her a look, that longing, lustful look for brief moment after he drank it. Then he threw up. So close. She wanted badly for magic to exist, to live in a world of fire staffs and lighting in bottles and incantations.
"I think I've found a way to control fire, I need to check some things first though, come by my place tonight...and maybe bring a fire extinguisher."
She quickly ran off, but not before giving Jon a peck on his cheek, ever since he took the bullet of drinking that love potion she sometimes felt like she may have feeling for him, but maybe not. Then she turned to her still open info page and turned it off herself but she seemed to do it without using her hands, As she did that Jon heard a voice.
"Player 2 has entered the game!"
