Karen (Adventures)

Karen is one of the Team Rocket Executives recruited by the Mask of Ice during the Gold, Silver and Crystal Chapter of Pokémon Adventures.

Background
Karen specialises in Dark-type Pokémon, and is initially part of the newly formed Team Rocket alongside Will. However, once Team Rocket's plans are foiled, they are approached by Bruno and Koga, who invite them to join the new Elite Four.

Personality
Karen has a cruel personality, as shown when she willingly sided with the Mask of Ice, but under the guise that they were kidnapped alongside the others. She is shown to despise Green for her ornithophobia (fear of birds).

Skills
Karen is exceptional in her control over Pokémon, as shown when she was able to control the Legendary Pokémon Ho-oh in the final battle at Ilex Forest Shrine with relative ease. Both Karen and Will were considered to be geniuses, and that no-one could best them when it came to Pokémon battling.

Appearance
Karen is identical in appearance to her game counterpart. When she becomes a member of the Johto Elite Four, Karen's appearance is rectified to match her revamped game outfit. She also wears one of the masks shared by all of the Mask of Ice's subordinates.
