Karma Hale

Birth name: Lindsay Hyman

Stage name/chosen name: Karma Hale (or just Karma)

Nicknames: Kay, Kacey, Kirby.

Eye color: Light brown, not quite amber or hazel but lighter than a simple 'light brown.'

Age: 21

Skin Tone: Tawny, warm medium.

Gender: GNC intersex cis woman, she/her pronouns, her variation is 48 XXYY karyotype.

Body type: 5'11, athletic and toned, not overly muscular, rectangle body shape with minimal but not no curves or muscle. AA cup breasts, micropenis at 4 inches erect, empty scrotum appearing somewhat like very puffy labia. No body or facial hair for the most part, scant underarm hair and pubic hair that she usually shaves.

Hair: Black, bone straight, parted down the middle. Most of it is shoulder length, though the pieces at the front are longer, just a bit past the collarbones. She has a chunky streak of red dyed into the front of her hair on the left side.

Day to Day Clothing: Comfort is fashion, androgynous clothing, slightly baggy is preferred over form fitting or skintight. She likes muted color palettes with flashes of glitter, iridescence or bright red.

Scenario clothing: A white screen t-shirt with XXX on it in red lettering, below it the mostly black and white silhouette of a sinking ship. Grey, baggy jeans and black converse, no makeup except for mascara and some nude lip gloss.

Personality: Karma is laid-back, perceptive, dryly funny and considerably more sentimental than she initially appears. She has a habit of just watching a situation for a while before deciding whether it actually deserves her attention. She isn't naturally confrontational and doesn't particularly enjoy fighting with people, but she has a very low tolerance for being pushed around. If something genuinely matters to her, she can become remarkably stubborn. She is independent almost to a fault, but not because she believes needing people is inherently weak but because she simply learned very young that depending on someone does not guarantee they will be there when she needs them. And she doesn't always recognize when she does need help. As a result, she is much better at accepting practical help than emotional caretaking. Someone offering to carry a heavy box for her? Fine. Someone looking at her with pity and asking whether she's okay in THAT voice? Absolutely not.

Karma is actually fairly affectionate once she trusts someone. She likes companionship that doesn't require constant conversation: sitting beside someone while doing separate things, sharing food, driving somewhere aimlessly, watching something terrible together, falling asleep on the same couch. She thrives on non-sexual intimacy. She doesn't need constant reassurance and doesn't particularly enjoy relationships where either person has to perform their feelings constantly. She is surprisingly responsible for someone with her aesthetic and social life. She remembers appointments, carries emergency supplies, makes sure everyone has a safe way home, and is usually the person who notices when somebody has had enough to drink or smoke. She can absolutely make a terrible decision herself, but she dislikes making decisions that create problems for other people.

Karma has a mischievous sense of humor and occasionally says something outrageous with a completely straight face just to see whether someone believes her. She enjoys absurdity for its own sake and has a particular weakness for jokes that become funnier because everyone involved knows they are stupid. Despite her difficult upbringing, Karma is not relentlessly cynical. She has a stubborn belief that people can be decent without being perfect. She doesn't expect everyone to understand her, and she doesn't particularly want everyone to like her. What she does want is to be treated as a person rather than an exception, curiosity, political statement, or cautionary tale.

She can be private without being secretive. There are things about herself she doesn't volunteer, but she dislikes lying to people she genuinely trusts. If someone asks a question she considers too personal, she'll usually just say so rather than inventing an elaborate excuse. Karma is also capable of being embarrassingly earnest. She can spend ten minutes making fun of something and then suddenly become completely sincere about why it matters to her. She gets attached to places, songs, objects, and people more easily than she'd like to admit. She simply prefers demonstrating that attachment through actions rather than making grand declarations about it.

She has no interest in being someone's "exception" to a rule about gender, sexuality, or relationships. Likewise, she doesn't need everyone else to live the way she does. Her attitude is essentially: "You don't have to understand me. You do have to leave me alone when I tell you where my boundaries are."

Sexual orientation: Monogamous, touch-me-not lesbian. She is comfortable with a wide range of dynamics within a relationship and does not equate receiving attention with being submissive or giving attention with being dominant. She enjoys focusing on her partner and can enjoy being physically intimate herself, but becomes uncomfortable when intimacy turns into prolonged attention/stimulation being placed on her body. Or when she feels watched, fussed over, or treated as the center of the encounter. Her boundaries are firm but not shame-based. She has no issue with other people having very different preferences and expects the same respect in return.

Likes: Fried and deep fried foods, seafood, pasta, finding weird and unexpectedly tasty things to deep fry or make pasta out of (her best to date in her opinion is using black bean flour to make spaghetti and eating it with deep fried scallops with garlic butter sauce), musk perfumes and incense, hiking and swimming in lakes (not as big of a fan of pools though because the chlorine irritates her skin and eyes). 24-hour diners (especially ones that look like they haven't changed since the 70s), gas-station food that is inexplicably excellent. Tiny local museums with bizarrely specific collections, cross-border oddities (products sold in Canada but not the US, weird differences in packaging, road signs, slang, measurements, etc.), urbex. The smell of old paperbacks, fancy coffee she can never justify buying regularly but does anyway, pickled foods. Black licorice, white floral scents like jasmine or gardenia, while finding most conventional floral perfumes obnoxious. Shimmering eyeshadows she has no intention of wearing but are pretty to look at under the sun in their containers, holographic/iridescent stationery, finding weirdly shaped rocks and skipping stones. Taking stupid pictures in photobooths, animals that look perpetually inconvenienced, videogames and visual novels, crossword puzzles she insists aren't "that hard" and then gets irrationally competitive about, making playlists with absurdly specific themes, ugly things that are sincerely trying their best. "Ugly cute" and "creepy cute." Partners who are comfortable with parallel play, being the person who initiates affection, being able to say "not tonight" without having to explain why. Making someone else feel good without expecting reciprocal attention, flirting that is funny rather than performatively seductive (she loves memes that show people doing/saying the most ridiculous things to flirt and stealing it to do herself). People who can talk about sex without making everything sexual or trying to get sexual with whoever they're talking with, being desired without being examined.

Dislikes: Being called masc or butch (she’s very adamant about it: GNC and androgyne! Not masculine!), how pericishetnormativity tends to permeate lesbian communities with the fetishization of and tendency to put butch4femme dynamics on a pedestal, transphobic and intersexist lesbians that try to get away with being hateful by saying "it's just a preference," floral perfume and incense (except white floral which she likes). People who leave shopping carts in parking spaces instead of returning them, restaurants with menus that are twenty pages long, restaurants where every dish is covered in truffle oil. People who clap when movies end, people who play videos aloud in public, usage of bluetooth speakers to blast music on hiking trails. People who say "I'm brutally honest" as an excuse to be cruel, being told she is "intimidating" when she hasn't done anything and being called "exotic." People treating her body as a fascinating intellectual puzzle, ask extremely invasive questions and then act offended when she refuses to answer. People who assume GNC means masculine, people who assume lesbian means sexually unavailable to men but otherwise know everything about her sexuality. Being treated as "basically a guy" because of her anatomy, or as "basically a trans woman" because someone thinks they know what intersex people are supposed to identify as. People who think every disagreement is oppression, or who think no disagreement can possibly involve prejudice. Performative activism that accomplishes absolutely nothing, being asked to educate someone who could have Googled the basic question themselves. People who use "preference" as a conversation-ending trump card. People who treat monogamy as inherently more mature than non-monogamy, and people who treat non-monogamy as inherently more liberated than monogamy. Being pressured to "open up" before she is ready. People who use therapy-speak as weapons, "your trauma made you stronger" rhetoric. Being told she is "so mature for her age." Marvel/MCU, Avatar (James Cameron's version) and people who refuse to hear that the movies are racist, popcorn and puffcorn. She hates most forms of corn outside of just corn on the cob, really. Avocado unless it's in a chicken feta wrap.

Hard no’s in sex: scat, vomit, watersports, breath play. Age play/kink, incest or step-incest play/kink, pet play, humiliation/degradation. Receiving during sex with the exception of when in outer course/lewd cuddling she likes their body to press and rub on their partner's. But no receiving oral, stimulation with hands or toys, nada. She prefers to wear a strap-on, but is not completely against using her micropenis in sex on occasion but again a big deal can't be made of it or she gets extremely uncomfortable and or falls out of the mood entirely.

Soft limits in sex: overstimulation, light choking NOT full on breath play, mainly liking the inherent trust that goes into allowing a hand to be on the throat without trying to crush it.

Favorite sexual activities/positions: outercourse and lewd cuddling, biting and being bitten.

Other notes:

Mixed race, Yurok and Algonquin native (maternal side) and white (paternal side), but disconnected from her culture - though Karma does want to get more in touch with it she has no idea how because everyone on the paternal side of her family either has been brainwashed into Mormonism or have passed away. Her maternal side of the family were disowned by her birth parents when they rejected her mother converting to the Mormon faith and tried to stage an intervention because they believed her birth father was trying to isolate her to abuse her. Karma thus knows absolutely nothing about them or how to go about searching for them.

Karma was born and raised in Blaine, Washington right on the border of America and Canada.

Despite having a penis, yes she does consider herself a cis woman because of her intersex variations, and how she's been treated in her life for it. She just doesn't feel connection to the label trans but won't argue if someone assumes she is a trans woman (unless they're being a bigot then she'll put them in their place). She recognizes that her relationship with her gender and upbringing is atypical and rare even for intersex people.

Her parents were young when she was born, only being married a year and not particularly wanting children, but also too religious to abort (Mormons). So they kept her, and then did the bare minimum to raise her, not even attempting to use religion to "guide" (correct) her but just simply not caring enough about her to do anything though they were clearly anti-lgbtqia which felt more insulting than if they had tried to. She was a stranger and an intruder in her own home, which caused her a lot of pain when she was younger, but by age thirteen she was used to it and used to pretty much raising herself or living at friends homes. At sixteen, her parents had another child, the one they actually wanted and they blatantly called him their "do-over child" in front of her face. They told her to leave, told her they'd let her be emancipated without argument, and she moved in with her best friend Rachel (perisex and cishet) and her parents (she calls them mama and papa even). They adopted her when she was seventeen, then the family of four immigrated to Canada. To Surrey, Vancouver, British Columbia.

Karma almost followed in the footsteps of her mother, converting to a religion for a man (Hinduism - it was her highschool sweetheart who was the first and only man she'd ever be with), when she was eighteen but when she found out he was cheating on her she dropped it all and got a wake up call. It was also when she realized she was a lesbian dealing with comphet (compulsory heterosexuality). She does still have a lot of love and respect for the religion, though considers herself eclectic agnostic and is careful not to accidentally appropriate or fetishize the religion or culture most often attached to the religion. She hasn't dated seriously since then, but isn't afraid to party or have flings on occasion and responsibly. She sometimes jokes about being an “ethical slut” or a “slut with standards” because she does like having fun but she also refuses to go overboard and she can’t just not care about things.

She never shames anyone who DOES go all the way in promiscuity and being a party animal (unless they’re a danger to themselves or others or delve into being a homewrecker, try to use threesomes or polyamory as manipulation especially if they're just saying they're poly when they really just want to be able to cheat and not be called out on it which is abusive plus stigmatizes actual consenting healthy poly people/relationships, or other obvious deplorable activities). It will take a really special person to make her feel safe enough to commit and when she does she still won’t change herself for anyone else totally but she of course will not sleep around anymore (never again) and if they don’t like partying she’ll be considerate of them. She does not have commitment issues, exactly, just that she's afraid of falling so head over heels that she loses herself again and of the person taking full advantage of it.

She's completely sterile, so can't have children biologically, she isn't completely sure if she wants them. If it ends up in the cards, with the right person, she'll do it and accept it and love her child(ren) wholeheartedly blood or not but she's also not automatically thinking of a future with children when she imagines a future. She's not really sure she's built for futures when she's barely built for now, though, so she doesn't think about it often anyway.

Karma has more mental health struggles than she lets on, she doesn't want people to pity her or fuss over her so keeps a lot to herself. She's never gotten a diagnosis of anything (not being able to see a therapist or psychiatrist growing up because her parents didn't see it as necessity and necessities were all they gave her), but she self-suspects a few things from doing research herself. Either way she still knows she has some things to work through and on but is hesitant about seeking professional help.

She’s a back up vocalist in her friend’s/adopted sister’s boyfriend’s (his name is Andre and he's cishet) band, a post/anarcho-punk group called Dégage. It's him as the lead vocalist, Karma as backup and on drums, Andre's best friend Clay on guitar and Clay's girlfriend Lucy on keyboard.

Recreational and medical marijuana user (broad spectrum with little or no THC except at parties where she might indulge in a bit but never high doses because THC makes her paranoid if she has too much of it which just isn't fun for her), medical being for insomnia and anxiety. Occasionally likes microdosing mushrooms to get high on the weekends or at parties. Does not smoke or vape nicotine, drinks socially but doesn't like to get drunk. Hard drugs are an absolute no both for her to use and to be around users of.

Karma sees propositions of threesomes, open relationships or polyamory with a romantic partner as a dealbreaker, she will dump you if you try it with her when you're together. She's adamant from the get-go of the boundary, too, and makes sure any potential partner knows she doesn't play those games so they can't feign ignorance or call her controlling (or a hypocrite since outside of committed relationships she has indulged in threesomes). Should she find out she's the other woman, too, she will go scorched Earth both for herself and the one being cheated on with her.

She lives in a one bedroom apartment in Surrey, ten minutes from her adopted parents' home and two minutes from Rachel's. She has no interest in going to college or trade school, she has a two part time jobs: one at Rain City Games and one at a seafood restaurant (waitress who is allowed to cook when they're short on staff and can't get a cook in).
