Karen Stradenflugen
Biography
Karen's dark streak is hidden behind the abundance of bright pink she dresses in.
Karen Stradenflugen (formerly Karen LeBlanc) is a Sim who resides in Sunset Valley. Karen lives in what used to be the Goth familyhouse. She lives with her single mother, a politician named Monique Stradenflugen who she's very close to. Karen's father, half-sister, and step-family live not too far away but Karen despises them. Karen has a son who lives in the town, but is being raised by his adopted family.
Karen LeBlanc was born to Monique and Andrew, a politician and a scientist. A couple years after Karen, Blair was born, and the siblings despised each other from the start. At a point during the girls early teen years, Andrew cheated on Monique with single mother Dusty and fathered a daughter with her. Andrew and Monique divorced and Andrew married Dusty. The event caused more heartache within the family, and Monique was left to deal with her squabbling children. As a result of the divorce, Monique changed her surname and the girls to her maiden name Stradenflugen to spite Andrew. It's possible the trauma of the divorce is what caused Karen to become as vindictive and cruel as she ended up being.
Teen Years
Teen Karen
Monique and the girls moved into the abandoned Goth house, and immediately made it their own. Blair took up painting in the attic, Monique filled the place with her gem collection, and Karen took good use of the large, supposedly haunted house to scare her sister at every opportunity. Karen was known for her popularity at school, both being the class clown and the "it girl". Blair is the complete opposite, a goth girl who keeps to herself. The clashing personalities caused more conflict between the sisters. As much as Monique tries to keep the peace, Karen couldn't help but feel as though Blair is the obvious favorite.
Soon, Blair began to get more popular when she started dating Kameron French-Frio, the son of Jared Frio and Molly French. Karen was jealous of this relationship as well as the school-wide attention Blair received because of it. After another massive argument between the twins, Karen planned an attack on Blair in order to get the message across that Blair needs to stay away from Kameron. While Monique was out at a work dinner, Karen scared and assaulted Blair savagely. Karen left Blair, expecting her to get up afterwards and fight back, but came back later to find Blair was still where she left her. Karen soon realized that she had killed Blair. Karen became upset and hysterical, she only meant to hurt Blair not kill her. Karen left the scene and hid, leaving Monique to return and find Blair's body dead on the floor.
When asked, Karen made up a story about a burglar coming in and attacking the girls, and Blair took the brunt of the attack. While some suspected Karen, Monique wholeheartedly believed that she had nothing to do with it and the case was dropped, the murderer never found. At one point after Blair's death, a burglar broke in and was interrogated over Blair's death and the "previous robbery". Despite Karen's best efforts to get the burglar charged for the murder in order to get the case done with, it was eventually proven it wasn't him by lie detector and the case remained unsolved. Monique's grief caused her to pass out at the funeral, causing Karen to feel immense guilt over what she did and briefly consider confessing. After a while, the family moved on from Blair's murder, and Karen continued her class clown demeanor, with no one knowing that Karen had murder on her conscience.
Young Adult
Karen's full body
Karen graduates from high school with honors and was voted Most Likely to Take Over the World. After graduation, Karen joins the Criminal career path. Karen goes out to a nightclub, where she meets billionare vampire Thornton Wolff and after a few drinks she hooked up with him. Karen's tryst with Thornton was an unpleasant experience as she realized Thornton had become infatuated with her overnight and Karen realized would much rather start a relationship with his wife Morgana than with Thornton. Karen began to regret the encounter as she discovered her attraction to women in the past and realized she's a lesbian. When Karen tried to leave, Thornton got violent and locked her in his bathroom overnight. Karen spent the night in the bathroom, and in the morning Thornton once again got violent and attacked her. Traumatized, Karen killed Thornton, marking her second killing. A few weeks after the traumatic encounter, Karen discovered she was pregnant much to her dismay. Karen immediately decided she was unfit to be a mother and it wouldn't be fair to raise the baby, with Karen being a criminal with two murders under her belt and the baby having been conceived in a traumatic experience, Karen decides the child would benefit greatly from being raised by another family and decided to have the baby adopted.
Karen told her mother about her experience, but refused to name the child's father as if she did, she would likely be arrested for Thornton's murder. Monique is sympathetic about the circumstances, but tried to force Karen to keep the baby as a way for Monique to compensate for Blair's loss. Karen was adamant she wasn't keeping the baby, which made Monique upset as she realised that with Blair being dead and Karen not wanting children, Monique would never become a proper grandmother. Eventually, after realising how distressed Monique was making Karen, Monique agreed to let Karen give up the baby. Karen gave birth to a baby boy, and Monique instantly became smitten. Monique tried to adopt her grandson as her own, naming him Jacob Stradenflugen. Karen didn't want to be anywhere near the baby, as he reminds her of Thornton. After making Monique choose between Karen or Jacob, Monique chose Karen, and baby Jacob was adopted by the Vasquez family, Wendy and Bennie, and renamed Dustin. Karen said goodbye to Dustin and admitted that it's because she loves him that she has to give him up to a better life. After that, Karen simply tries to forget about the experience and begins dating her boss, Ayesha Ansari.
Karen started to feel as though with Ayesha, all her demons were behind her. She'd forgotten about Blair and Thornton, her son was happy with his adoptive family, and she had a stable job with a stable relationship. At a party thrown by Monique, Karen proposed to Ayesha, who accepted. They had a private wedding at a dance club. Karen and Ayesha enjoyed a brief but happy marriage, as Ayesha brought up the subject of adopting children and Karen got scared. Karen opened up to Ayesha about how she previously had a son that she gave up for adoption, shocking Ayesha. Ayesha tried to convince Karen to get custody for her son, but Karen effectively ended the marriage, stating that she didn't want children and never would and if it was a dealbreaker then it was a dealbreaker. Karen and Ayesha's divorce was finalized not long later, and Karen reached adulthood soon after.
Trivia
Karen and Blair's relationship was similar to the Pleasant twins Angela and Lilith. One popular sister (Karen/Angela), one goth sister (Blair/Lilith), and they both despise each other. The only difference is the roles are reversed. While with the Pleasant sisters the popular sister is the favorite good sister and the goth child is the overlooked bad sister, with the Stradenflugen sisters the goth one is the favorite and the popular sister is the overlooked one.
The ghost of Karen's sister Blair
So far Karen has killed two people. She killed Blair Straudenflugen in a sibling rivalry attack gone wrong, and she killed Thornton Wolff after he locked her up and attacked her.
Karen loves her mother very much and despite feeling as though Blair was the favorite child, it is shown Monique also loves Karen just as much, which explains why Monique simply took Karen's word for the circumstances surrounding Blair's death.
Karen feels remorse for killing Blair and the effect it had on Monique, but no remorse for the way she initially treated Blair.
