Profile

Appearance

Karma is a rather toned young woman. She has very short and messy red hair with yellow streaks. Her eyes, always wide and darting, are a pale yellow. Marked under each of her eyes is a golden notch, the symbol of a Pyrusian noble Head.

She's most often seen in official House Selvatilla garb—a short dark cloak with red and gold accents that resemble scales. Additionally, her wrists and shins are armed with metal bracers studded with retractable spikes. A metal chain hangs from the back of her belt, which floats around when charged with magic. At its end glows House Selvatilla's family talisman, Chimera’s Claw.

Personality

A wild grin, a golden blur, and dried blood under the sunlight. Karma is manic, always full of energy and glaringly unaware of the volume of her voice. She often interrupts others when they’re talking, or walks away when she’s being spoken to.

Karma is addicted to the feeling of the highs and lows of a clash, and is willing to compromise anything—even Nox Noctis missions—if it means she'll get a good fight in. She's also interested in witnessing unique and powerful abilities, which she hopes to see in her fights. As a result of her attitude towards battles, she’s developed an odd sense of morality and honor. Her opinions of others are entirely based on how strong she believes they are.

Though she lacks respect befitting of a Head of a Pyrusian noble house, Karma is still recognized and feared for her nobility. However, she’s not very concerned with the responsibilities that come with ruling a country—in fact, she’s hardly ever found in North Pyrus. Additionally, Karma is uninterested in talking about her family, only giving half-honest responses to those who inquire.

Abilities

Karma has a radiance aspect and the highest AGI of all characters in Bolt from the Blue. She is often able to act more than once in a single turn.

Magic Contracts

Thanks to a pact with Enki, members of House Selvatilla's noble blood have the ability to form magically-binding contracts with other people. Karma uses this ability to form "battle contracts" with her opponents—before every fight, she carefully establishes a list of detailed rules, such as win and lose conditions, handicaps on both sides, and rewards/deals upon battle conclusion.

Because it is magically binding, breaking an established rule results in the offender becoming weaker. Generally, only Karma can break her own contract, but she refuses to do this. The only other way to break a battle contract is to break off the glowing tip of her chain.

Relationships

Ilia Miron

Karma is often accompanied by Ilia on missions. Ilia tries to keep her on task, but Karma is allowed a surprising amount of liberty to act as she pleases.
