Name: Karena Svendsen
Sex: Female
Gender: Cisgender
Grade: 11th
Role: Boarding Student
Birthday: 16 years old. March 23rd, 2001
Hometown: Copenhagen, Denmark.
Appearance: Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'7", 136 pounds, A little on the small side.
Personality: Comes off as fairly normal on the surface, but she fits pretty closely with the saying that there is "More than meets the eye" to someone. You might make your preconceived opinions of someone based off of a brief interaction, but that wouldn't be enough to truly figure her out. Seems generally friendly and nice on the surface, based off of her upbeat and cheery personality. That's not to say that she isn't, but below the surface, there is more to her than that. Would likely do some more questionable things than you would imagine from someone like her. Hence her being full of surprises, really. Because she comes off as normal, but really isn't. Seems to be a bit adventurous, considering the fact that she came all the way from Denmark for a new experience, so seems interested in just aimlessly wandering. Will become sexually experimental, more so than you might imagine if you for some reason thought about that, with your assumptions based off of her normalcy. With the way she acts behind the scenes, you would think she might be a slacker who is a failure at school as well, but she's actually a fairly good student. Can be surprisingly lewd at times. Rebellious in certain circumstances.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual. Probably a 1.5 on the Kinsey Scale.
Moral Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Personal Skills: Bilingual. Can speak fluent English (with a Danish accent), and speaks Danish, the latter being her native language. She is obviously better at Danish and is more understandable in her own language if you know it, but she is also fairly good in English and is usually fairly understandable despite her accent. Seems to be a decently skilled student in general, getting on average B to A's, without being exceptionally positive in anything specific, like beyond A's where merely getting A's is something easily achievable.
Personal Vulnerabilities: Seems to have an addictive personality, which goes over to various things in her life. Gets caught up in the pleasure of things in life a bit too much sometimes. Is a masochist at times, which you could say makes her put herself in a vulnerable situation.
Biography: Karena was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, originally only speaking Danish until her parents, and herself, decided to learn English to understand people in a large chunk of the world, since it was one of the most prominently spoken second langauges, and 3rd most spoken in general. It didn't take her long to learn it, in fact. She may have even learned some as a child, but mostly she spoke in her native language as a child. But she still learned English very young, just most of the time didn't have a reason to speak it, as she was in Denmark, so it only made sense to mostly speak her native language.
This was of course until she decided to go and be a foreign exchange student in America, specifically Florida. This is where her English speaking would be much more prominent, and likely her accent would fade more as time went on. Though her accent wasn't so heavy she wasn't very understandable. She could be understood fairly well. But her accent was definitely there. Her main reasoning for it seemed to be for the adventure of traveling to a foreign country, and experiencing a different culture and all that from her own. Her parents accepted, even though it was also sad for her to go so far away. They also didn't entirely expect much out of the American school system, but this school had been at least highly praised. Her parents still had her younger brother to take care of back home, though, who was 10. Which the brother seemed to be a later decision to have a 2nd child instead of just having her. Now, she had gone on a foreign adventure. So now it was just the 3 of them, while their daughter tried to make something of her life in America.
RP Sample: Foreign exchange student comes to America and life changes for her quite a bit in various interesting ways.
Other: She sounds like
this, though less heavy of an accent because most of the time she's pretty understandable, as mentioned above. Is a sadomasochist, meaning a sadist and a masochist.
