Spotlight Friday: Kattalin Wolfe

It's Friday (again). I should, like every other normal person out there, be looking forward to Fridays. Mostly it means that I have the weekend ahead of me to catch up on sleep. And sleep? Is awesome. But stuuuuuuuuff. Anyway. You lot aren't here to hear me whine (though, if you wanted to, you could always find my non-Jaelin Nemain twitter/LJ/etc).

Today's unrelenting spotlight falls on a lady who I'm more or less still figuring out and who, probably, I wouldn't like if I met her. :)

Name: Kattalin Wolfe
Codename: Karma
Power: probability/luck manipulation
Team Affiliation: The Alliance

I spend a lot of time in Medic's head (you'll meet him.... July 15th) so I refer to a lot of characters by their codename. Karma, though, is mostly okay with this. She is the current leader of the Alliance, having took over when Derian left and Lena said a big "HELL NO" to leading. Karma appears to be very much in control, but she's really not. Before Derian left, there was this big thing that happened that prompted people to lay all their cards on the table. Then that team broke up. 6 out of the 13 members of the previous team left, leaving Karma with a team that either hated each other or couldn't trust each other. She's held on admirably, but she's fraying fast. Her second-in-command is Scry, though they both resent it. Mostly because Karma doesn't listen to Scry in the least bit. She doesn't think he has the clarity that his aunt does.

Karma was born in 2000 (no month or day yet, big surprise) and is roughly 5 foot 6 with black hair that's usually back in a ponytail or braids and green eyes. She's currently dating teammate Daniel Roca, codename Fletch. He's an archer. I have such a thing for archers (and redheads). Anyway. She runs the Alliance mostly like a friendly dictatorship - she will listen to you and your opinions, but it's ultimately her call, and she will always go with her gut instinct. This is also part of the reason she and Scry clash a lot. Scry Sees things, but Karma doesn't want to acknowledge the visions or his feelings. She really doesn't like precogs, or cognitives of any type (there's a couple of them). There was no other choice for leadership (aside from maybe Daniel) so the Alliance is stuck with her. She has toyed with the idea of leaving many times, but she's kept the team together (more or less) for the past six years. She's also made deals, many of them ones that no one knows about, with the Cabal and other various organizations in the belief that eventually it will make the world stronger.

She is very flawed. And has a lot of bad things coming her way because of those flaws. I sometimes feel bad for her, but then she starts being a ... less than nice person to some of my other characters and I remember why her grave is so deep - she dug that hole herself.
