Notes and Trivia
Karen has lived in Dallas her entire life. She grew up not far from Bo’s childhood home, and he always found himself smitten with her. She always reminded him that they were friends, nothing more, but for years, he tried to woo her. However, Karen always belonged to a different class of student. While Bo read comics and played video games, she was busy trying out for cheerleading and dancing. While she felt flattered at the attention he always lavished her with, Karen looked for the traditional jock type of guy. Bo’s infatuation with Karen was the means that Ray used to trick Bo into summoning Nergal.
Ray promised Bo that a god, Nergal, could unify humanity under a banner of peace, but that it required an Adam and Eve type of situation. That together, Bo and Karen would usher in a golden age. Karen, of course, had no idea about any of this, and even if she had, she would never agree to it. When Ray and the other guys abducted her, she had no idea where she was going or what was happening. She screamed and cried until her throat wore sore, and she had no idea what they were planning to do. When she finally saw Bo, her fear turned to anger! She threatened him, and warned him to let her go, but Bo saw a chance to have his dream come true- a Karen that would forever love him, and better, the world would enter a time of peace and prosperity! Karen, did not see it that way, until Nergal’s foul essence first slipped into her body. At the moment, she wanted only what her unholy master desired. However, Bo eventually managed to save Karen’s soul, and free her from the curse. Now, she finds herself oddly torn inside. Anything a person knew, felt, or did while corrupted, remains after the cleansing. Karen felt an undying, morbidly powerful love for Bo while corrupted, like a slave girl to a master. However, now that she has become human, she does not know how to feel. Part of her loves Bo, part of her hates him, and part of her remains as she once was- seeing him as a friend.
