Position in Story
Karen Erra was a orphan from a young age, Suffering due to her mother being killed by a Tengohg, a resident gargoyle-esque creature native to neudaiz. This has made her seem quite stern at times. She's dedicated to what she does, and is seen through most of the game supporting ethan up to the final Magashi fight. She's first seen in Episode 2 where she comes and tells ethan how to make and dissolve a party, and then sets off to help out the local farm, in which the animals have become rather unruly. She's more background until episode 5, where she collapses twice at the site of a Tengohg (it is here that the player finds out how her mother died).
She then disapears for a while, and is thought to be seen in chapter 7; However, this is Mirei. The two share a special bond which allows them to disguise themselves as eachother (Karen doesn't know this, though). She's then seen at the centre of the temple ontop of a pink rune floating slightly off the ground, while being towered over by Dohgi. He, Apparently, wanted to finish what he started earlier (He attempted to kill karen while she was young for not quite being up to scratch as the princess of neudaiz as her sister mirei; this lead to her mother running away with her and the events that followed. Mirei effectively takes the hit for karen, as Dohgi lashes out at her and hits her with a fatal blast of energy as she attempts to stop him from killing her. Ethan then fights Dohgi (who is in a Giant ninja robot mech). After the fight, Karen wakes up from the stasis above the rune and speaks to Mirei before she dies. As mirei is gone, and was the only hope for the people of Neudaiz (and gurhal itself, it seemed), she takes her place, and is able to imitate mirei in all but eye color. She then leaves Ethan and co to get used to Mirei's position.

During this, SEED attack the local area; Ethan and Lou go off to cut the threat, while Karen continues. After this, they come back, and the Ritual itself completes.

Other
- Ethan and Karen talk after the credits about network mode (Quote: "Go play network mode and make a character!" - Karen "Hey, i thought i was the main character?" - Ethan)
- Karen has a few random voice shots after chapter ending sequences if you do the chapter in question twice (on a different save each time). In one such case, She asks Ethan if he finds her attractive.
- Karen is voiced by Tanaka rie, a Famous female voice actor with a Very large fanbase (Extending to outside japan). Tanaka herself apparently plays the online mode (she says this in her blog on [1]), though it's unknown what character she is.
- Karen is Deftly afraid of Tengohgs, as they are the cause of her mother's death; She faints half of the time whenever one appears, and entirely blacks out when Ohma Gohg attacks the party.
- "Karen" in chapter 7 is Mirei disguised as her (Which a few people never actually realised), where it's commonly believed she isn't.
