As a playable character
Edit
It is evident from trailers that she is one of the main party members that appears in battles in Dark Dawn, and she uses a fairly typical collection of Psynergy for a Jupiter Adept in Golden Sun games. The E3 2010 floor demo footage showing her in battle shows her selecting and using the Plasma Psynergy (whose appearance has apparently been changed to resemble what one might expect from the Bolt Psynergy series), and she is also seen to possess the Whirlwind and Impact Psynergies. Unlike previous Jupiter Adepts Ivan and Sheba, however, she does not have access to the Ray Psynergy series and instead has an all-new Jupiter-aligned healing Psynergy series named Fresh Breeze and Healthy Wind, the first Jupiter-aligned healing Psynergy of any sort. In the 2010 floor demo, she has the Jupiter Djinn Gust and Waft Set onto her, and also has the Sleep Psynergy. In terms of battle statistics and equipment, she is essentially a clone of Ivan from the original Golden Sun.
BiographyEdit
Added by Erik the AppreciatorIn contrast to fellow party members Matthew and Tyrell, Matthew of whom greatly resembles his father Isaac and Tyrell resembling his father Garet, Karis's parentage has been much more open for debate. Her green hair and purple eyes cause different fans to assume or speculate different possibilities for her parents, though an issue of Nintendo Power released in October 2010 has confirmed that she is the daughter of Ivan. [1]
Karis is a spirited girl. She prefers to think her actions through before following them, often to Tyrell's frustration. However, she can be equally impatient with her plans and forget that Matthew's the leader, something she often apologizes for. Throughout the game, she develops an unyielding yet understanding personality, and so helps keep the party's emotions under control. Karis has been noted by Blados and Tret to be as smart as her father, Ivan, which makes her blush. A reliable person, she acts as a second to Matthew, speaking for him while following his lead.
At any rate, in the E3 2010 trailer, she and Matthew are seen at a town watching a Psynergy Vortex pulsating in the vicinity.
Translation of a brief article on Dark Dawn in Japanese-language magazine Jump describes Karis as a Jupiter Adept and a strong-willed and reliable individual.
EtymologyEdit
The name Karis (alt. spelling charis) means "graceful" in Greek. It is the same word used to convey the word "grace" in the Bible. This is a fitting name for Karis, as she is graceful and never loses control of her emotions.
TriviaEdit
- She is currently the only Jupiter Adept ever introduced who is unable to read minds.
