"Karen does not look at the map again. she just smiles & takes a sip of Wax's beer. They continue talking, more about Wax's girl troubles, another round of 'dont worry, keep living, you're young' & then out of nowhere Wax leans over & kisses Karen on the lips. It lasts less than a second & clearly shocks her, but when he leans over & kisses her again she does not resist. In fact the kiss turns into something more than a kiss, Karen's hunger almost exceeding Wax's."

"The radio remains an incomprehensible buzz of static, but from somewhere in the house, rising up like some strange black oil, there comes a faint knocking. Chad & Daisy actually detect it first, but by the time they reach their parent's bedroom, Karen is already up with the light on, listening intently to this new disturbance."

"Karen says nothing when she hears Navidson make this comment, though she does get up abruptly to go out to the backyard & smoke a cigarette."

Reading these little tidbits about Karen, I can tell she is a cool, calm, collected person who doesnt mind fighting for what she may or may not believe in. She knows how to bite her tongue & when to speak at the right moments. She could have confronted Navidson but decided to relax & have a little nicotene break. When she heard knocking, however, she was the first one up to confront the issue. All together, though, she is just passionate. The way she kissed & knew how to defend the others along with herself, it shows she has a lot of heart.
