__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionStanding five and a half feet tall, with beautiful porcelain skin, and long golden hair Karina always has eyes on her. And if they linger long enough, they often have the opportunity to watch her stumble and fall, or crash into a closed door. While gorgeous, she is not the most graceful. She is prone to accidents, most of which are the result of her own actions. Her clothes often have to be mended from various mishaps, and it's just as often as not that she has a bruise or two on her beautiful face. Her big blue eyes are too often buried in a book, and she doesn't notice the obvious danger in front of her. For this reason, she keeps her attire to simple travelers clothing, her hair pulled back and braided, and is armed only with a staff and one small dagger for utility purposes.
PersonalityDespite the tragedy she has faced in her life, Karina always has a song in her heart. She is loving, warm, loyal, and is always more concerned with the people around her than her own well being. To her own detriment, if the situation called for it. She is a charitable person, always looking for the best in people and never their faults, with a thirst for adventure, knowledge, and new places. And there are always new friends to be found in those new places. In her mind, the world is a bountiful place for her to spread love and joy. She is, however, and bit eccentric. Coming from a frozen Tundra she always thinks that other people have strange foods and drinks. She detests tea of any form, and believes wine is a child's drink, and will always choose red meat over anything else. She is also not afraid to speak her mind, which has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion.
Magic/AbilitiesKarina is an exceptional artist and has a near perfect visual memory. She is skilled at charting maps, and sells her skills whenever possible, and has exceptional skills navigating the wilds and surviving.
As for weapons, Karina stays away from blades, for fear of hurting herself. While she is aquatinted with a bow, axe, and various other weaponry she rarely uses them. She carries a staff of rosewood that she is quite skilled with, and uses as a spellcasting focus.
In terms of magic, Karina has always been in tune with nature. She is a practitioner of Druid magics, healing and shape shifting, has an affinity with the stars. Since birth, the heavens have influenced her life, and in turn, her magic. She is able to harness starlight and moon fire to sending out powerful projectile attacks.

HistoryKarina was born in a truly harsh winter in the far north. Her family, nomadic hunters who followed the elk, were loving, protective and loyal. They traded with other groups regularly and had a reputation for providing good meat and quality furs at good prices. The young girl absorbed her family's good nature and pride. From a young age, she was fascinated by their dealings, and was encouraged by her mother to learn as much as she could from her father.
Due to their nomadic lifestyle, she took to making maps when she came of age, which her father sold to other travelers. They marked hunting grounds and game trails for other, or used them to help guide explorers. Unfortunately, not everyone was receptive of her family's good will.
They were attacked in the dead of night. Her family, and others they traveled with, were slain. Her brother was taken by the raiders, and their women were taken as slaves. Karina managed to escape, but few others were so lucky, and had it not been for her fathers lessons she would have never survived. Karina went on to use her skills to make a name for herself, and she eventually made her way south to warmer lands.
