Karen was born on a spring Saturday afternoon at 2:35 p.m. Watson picked her name which means "pure" because he felt pure joy in seeing his daughter.

Karen describes her & Andrew as "two-two" (that she got a book called "Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang") because they split their time between the "little house" (which is their mom's house) and the "big house" (which is their dad's house).

Karen and Andrew tend to have two of most things since they spend a lot of time at each of their parents' house.

Karen is in the second grade in Ms. Colman's class at Stoneybrook Academy. She is a very smart girl and reads a lot.

When she began kindergarten, she was put in the first grade during Christmas. After spending a week in first grade, Karen's teachers decided to move her to the second grade.

When she was younger, Karen attended Little Friends Day School where her teacher was Ms. Herman.

Karen takes her spelling seriously and is protective of her little brother.

She believes her neighbor Mrs. Porter (or Morbidda Destiny) is a witch.

She thinks that the attic in the Brewers' house is haunted by the ghost of Ben Brewer.

Karen has to wear earplugs when she goes swimming. She likes to help out in the kitchen.

She loves to make up games. She likes to play Let's All Come In and her favorite character in the game is Mrs. Mysterious (who dresses in black). Karen's favorite game is Going Camping.

Karen attended Camp Mohawk one summer and even attended a circus camp with her friends.
