Karen Izayoi

Karen Blade (ブレード=カレン, Burēdo Karen) is a mercenary. Well, she attempts to be.

Personality and Traits
Karen is a woman of oddness, a dishonest wildcard and a whimsical individual who, although knowing the basics of the modern era, does not seem to know about social norms. She has little regard for most beings, seeing them for their flaws, with Gai being one of the few exceptions. Karen also believes that she has the right to get whatever she wants and vehemently detests having to give something away if there's no benefit for her. However, she can become cunning, ruthless, and pragmatic if the situation requires. She will go to any length to ensure that she comes out the victor in anything that interests her, even going as far as to demand "a second round" constantly. Despite this, she is slothful and childish, due to the nature of her upbringing, as noted by Gai to be "erratic in her behaviour...I can't tell if she's just crazy or oblivious."

She is usually friendly and cheerful to her friends, always being curious and not worrying much about things, though she subtly manipulates them at all times. She usually tries to raise the spirits of others, making her the mood maker of the group. She has problems reading the atmosphere in situations and just speaks out what comes to mind, sometimes making others surprised at her actions. Due to her upbringing, she knows nothing of the world or how to interact with others. During battle, Karen is prone to eccentricies like posing, pre-battle speeches and calling her attack names as loud as she can.

Despite being a wacky and ditzy woman, Karen focuses only on "rewriting the wrongs of the universe". She has however been shown to repay debts to people, giving Gai the means to awaken his Devil Fruit's ability after he sealed it, though this is mainly because she wanted to use Gai as a tool in her quest at first. Karen has taken an interest in Gai in a slightly sly and teasing manner, and constantly throws him off balance with embarrassing remarks and actions, all while maintaining a poker face in the process, which results in her being constantly treated with suspicion by Gai, who calls her 'that devil woman'.

She serves Gai as 'mission control', supplying him with new goals. She has taken a liking for popsicles, taking them whenever possible without second thought such as taking them from a cart and making Gai pay and scaring off children. One of her many eccentric hobbies is baking cakes, commonly birthday cakes often pulling an apron right over whatever she is wearing to do so. In fact, she has a very unsuitable oven kept in her office and built her office over a bakery. She usually has the other main characters eat the cakes she makes, whether they want to or not. She also has a strange intonation in her speech. Any items she has sent to others are normally refered to as 'presents' and wrapped up as such.
