About:
A spunky sort, Kari has gained her mother’s rowdy side and has a natural preference for adventure and autonomy, though refuses to acknowledge her lack of maturity. At fifteen years of age, Kari believes she can handle herself, having beaten half the fighters within her vicinity while having escaped the other half with ease, for in the past, there were those who tried to gang up on her. She brims with energy and seems to walk with an extra step, almost seemingly dancing. The reason behind her constant movement comes from experiences in the past where she had to be alert at all times when visiting unfamiliar areas, and being active at all times helped her get out of tight scenarios easily.

Kari lacks intellect, or rather, dwells on her impatience and desire to get to the solution right away. Mentally, multitasking is a bother to her, and oftentimes she would react on impulse be it by speech or action. If possible, she will rely on brute force. Kari often throws blind blows when she fights and thus, lacks the accuracy of a marksman. Where she lacks mind power, she makes up for it with agility earned over the years venturing off

Having grown up without an actual mother figure, Kari never got to try relating troubles and thus, does not like to dwell on emotional aspects. In fact, she still believes they don’t exist. Despite her dislike for sentiment, she is still a girl who still has silly dreams of finding her Prince Charming and living in a castle, so to speak. When irritated, her appetite increases, and she proceeds to down carbs like an athlete until she’s full.

Kari is familiar with both the American and Philippine cultures, though knows more of the Philippine one, having lived in the Philippines longer compared to the United States. However, Travis's upbringing has made her more..."American", so to speak. She is fluent in English, but can't speak Tagalog (though she can understand it enough).

History:
“Could you foster my little girl? Please, you’re the only one I know I can trust her to!”

Travis Panganiban was a friend to Charlie Merrith, whose name appeared on the local news after she got caught stealing in the act. Though the two had not seen each other for the past seven years, it was at this supervised meeting during visitation hours in a prison facility in the United States that Charlie asked this friend of old to take care of her daughter, Kari. Charlie was to serve a term of twenty-five years, unfortunately. Although reluctant, Travis took up Charlie’s request. After picking up 3-year-old Kari from Charlie’s sister’s place, he quit his job as a business consultant and processed some papers, taking Kari with him back to the Philippines, his homeland.

Kari grew up in one of the old cities, the ones that existed underneath the new gargantuan metropolises now common around the world. Government facilities still kept them alive, but the cities underneath were nowhere near as beautiful as the cities above. Despite the small international community in existence within the old cities, Kari’s Caucasian descent gained a level of discrimination from small-minded locals. As a little girl, she often got herself into fist-fights, not liking the constant teasing from the other kids. Other times, she would get mistaken for a foreigner…and…well, let’s just say there was a time Travis had to convince her captors to let her go. Amidst the trouble, Kari would find time to snap pictures and write letters to Charlie overseas.

When Kari was eight, Travis was offered his old job back, with monetary benefit. Seeing the need for money to support Kari, he took up the job. Kari was left in the care of Travis’s older sister, Meranda Tagbanua. Without Travis to keep her out of harm’s way and only her mother’s letters to keep her heart strong, the same past troubles fell upon her shoulders. The years were good to her, however, for while the same type of brutes came to make her life worse stayed the same, she became stronger. Faster. Tougher. Intellect, however, was a different story. With Travis gone, Kari explored her more adventurous side, often testing her stamina whenever she went on a misadventure.

Eventually, life got easier, but as one who dwelled under the cities, Kari was always one to leave her room at night just to perch on an old metal beam hanging around while she gazed up at the sky. The upper cities always seemed to be so beautiful. Travis’s money couldn’t get her a life up there, sad to say, but she never stopped hoping. Her yearning to find a place where she could live within the beautiful cities never died.

One day, she heard the call for recruits to join the international organization, Asagii-Renova. A world-class official would have the right to dwell on the upper cities, right? She entertained the thought greatly. Finally, she thought much while thinking of herself as part of Asagii-Renova, a chance at the stars!

Soon a letter was sent to both Travis and Charlie, each one with the same declaration as the other:

I’m going to join Asagii-Renova.
