Character Overview
In her first appearances, Karen is the secretary for the law firm of Daredevil’s alter ego Matt Murdock. Karen and Elektra have been Daredevil’s most prominent love interests.
Like most aspects of the Daredevil mythos, her character grew darker and more three-dimensional when writer/artist Frank Miller oversaw the comic book in the early 1980s. Karen became a heroin addict who sells Daredevil’s secret identity, causing him innumerable problems. In subsequent years, she redeems herself, but is killed by Daredevil's adversary Bullseye in Daredevil vol. 5, (10th of March 1999).

Famous quotes containing the word character:
“We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused—in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery—by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press—their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
