Fanon:Karen Stradenflugen

Karen Stradenflugen is a Sim who resides in Sunset Valley. Karen lives in what used to be the Goth family house. She lives with her single mother, a politician named Monique Stradenflugen who she's very close to. Karen's father, half-sister, and step-family live not too far away but Karen despises them. Karen's full sister, Blair, is deceased.

Early Life
Karen Stradenflugen was born to Monique and Andrew, a politician and a scientist. A couple years after Karen, Blair was born, and the siblings despised each other from the start. At a point during the girls early teen years, Andrew cheated on Monique with single mother Dusty and fathered a daughter with her. Andrew and Monique divorced and Andrew married Dusty. The event caused more heartache within the family, and Monique was left to deal with her squabbling children. It's possible the trauma of the divorce is what caused Karen to become as vindictive and cruel as she ended up being.

Teen Years
Monique and the girls moved into the abandoned Goth house, and immediately made it their own. Blair took up painting in the attic, Monique filled the place with her gem collection, and Karen took good use of the large, supposedly haunted house to scare her sister at every opportunity. Karen was known for her popularity at school, both being the class clown and the "it girl". Blair is the complete opposite, a goth girl who keeps to herself. The clashing personalities caused more conflict between the sisters. As much as Monique tries to keep the peace, Karen couldn't help but feel as though Blair is the obvious favorite.

Soon, Blair began to get more popular when she started dating Kameron French-Frio, the son of Jared Frio and Molly French. Karen was jealous of this relationship as well as the school-wide attention Blair received because of it. After another massive argument between the twins, Karen planned an attack on Blair in order to get the message across that Blair needs to stay away from Kameron. While Monique was out at a work dinner, Karen scared and assaulted Blair savagely. Karen left Blair, expecting her to get up afterwards and fight back, but came back later to find Blair was still where she left her. Karen soon realized that she had killed Blair. Karen became upset and hysterical, she only meant to hurt Blair not kill her. Karen left the scene and hid, leaving Monique to return and find Blair's body dead on the floor.

When asked, Karen made up a story about a burglar coming in and attacking the girls, and Blair took the brunt of the attack. While some suspected Karen, Monique wholeheartedly believed that she had nothing to do with it and the case was dropped, the murderer never found. Monique's grief caused her to pass out at the funeral, causing Karen to feel immense guilt over what she did and briefly consider confessing. After a while, the family moved on from Blair's murder, and Karen continued her class clown demeanor, with no one knowing that Karen had murder on her conscience.

Trivia

 * Karen and Blair's relationship was similar to the Pleasant twins Angela and Lilith. One popular sister (Karen/Angela), one goth sister (Blair/Lilith), and they both despise each other. The only difference is the roles are reversed. While with the Pleasant sisters the popular sister is the favorite good sister and the goth child is the overlooked bad sister, with the Stradenflugen sisters the goth one is the favorite and the popular sister is the overlooked one.
 * Karen is very close with her mother, which explains why Monique simply took Karen's word for the circumstances surrounding Blair's death.
 * Karen feels remorse for killing Blair and the effect it had on Monique, but no remorse for the way she initially treated Blair.
