Background / History

Karina is John’s sister-in-law and a half-elf Magic Potion Maker. She worked at Fluorescent Academy in Fluorescent City, teaching students to identify magic potions in the mornings and using the academy’s professional mixing room to concoct potions in the afternoons. She had purchased a small two-story house near the academy. 110

When John brought Pal and Wei Wei to her, Karina agreed to use the heart of a Silver-level Ink Shadow Leopard to make Pal a breakthrough potion. The first potion caused a bloodline conflict because Pal possessed another Magical Beast bloodline; Karina expelled the remaining potion, treated him with a recovery potion, diagnosed the issue, and undertook to create a tailored Bloodline Activation Potion. 110 111

After researching Pal’s bloodline attribute and gathering materials, Karina successfully made the Bloodline Potion that allowed Pal to reach Bronze-level Knight. 112 128 137 She remained in Fluorescent City during John’s pursuit of Red Robe, acting as a source of information and looking after Pal and Wei Wei at John’s request. 111 129 147

Karina later left Fluorescent City in a hurry after something occurred at home, selling her villa. 252 Pal reunited with her in Ronghua City, where she was representing the Yongge Family in the Magic Potion Maker Competition and operating a barbecue stall out of boredom and to earn pocket money. 266

Pal informed Karina of John’s death and returned his Dark Knight One-Handed Sword. Though devastated, Karina accepted that John had fulfilled his wish and allowed Pal to retain the sword as John’s legacy to him. 266

Appearance

Karina is a petite half-elf with a delicate appearance, usually presenting herself either as a professional potion maker or in more casual clothing. 110 112

• Approximately 1.6 meters tall. 110
• Fair skin, silver hair, and red pupils. 110
• Slightly pointed elf ears. 110
• Wears her silver hair in a mushroom cut. 110
• Uses transparent crystal glasses while working in potion-mixing rooms. 110

Personality

Karina is lively, blunt, and confident in her professional ability. She warmly welcomed John, Pal, and Wei Wei into her home, but quickly teases or scolds people she cares about—especially Pal when he acts recklessly or leaves without informing her. 110 137 147

She is protective of her remaining family and deeply concerned for John’s safety. Her questions about his travels conceal this worry, and she reacts dangerously happily when Pal reveals John’s womanizing behavior. 110 118 John considers her his only relative and insists that she avoid direct danger during the Red Robe crisis. 129

Despite her small stature and occasional lack of composure, Karina is resilient. After learning of John’s death, she grieves openly but regains enough composure to discuss his final wish and safeguard his legacy. 266
