Karen Renda (簾田 カレン Renda Karen[?]) is an original character by SHOUCHANG and protagonist of the song Love-Sickness.
A girl who fell in love with “love”.[1]
Appearance[]
Karen has greenish-yellow, short, and wavy hair, along with eyes and rounded eyelashes of the same color. She wears a white dress shirt, a black tie with a grayish-blue sweater overlaying it, and a short black skirt. She is said to look very different from how she acts.[1]
Personality[]
Karen is a mentally unstable girl who is obsessed with the act of falling in love. She acts in strange ways, has very strong assumptions, and is very good at self-suggestion.[2][3] Despite Karen being obsessed with "love", she doesn't truly love; when she "doesn't need [love] anymore", she throws it away.
Relationships[]
Mene Tame[]
Karen, after seeing Amane fall in love with Mene, also falls in love; however, Karen does not truly love Mene, and is only "in love" due to her self-suggestion.[1]
Amane Amasaki[]
After seeing Amane fall in love with Mene, Karen starts suggesting to herself that she's also in love. Karen stands in Amane's way as a "love rival" of sorts, and blocks her from making any major moves towards Mene. Due to Amane's personality not being very sharp, Karen's behaviour of falling in love with "love" only increases in intensity.[1][3]
Yuu Yuumukai[]
Yuu is aware that Karen is a "love rival" to Amane.[3][4]
Etymology[]
Karen (カレン[?]) has various meanings depending on the kanji used. Possible definitions include 火恋 ("fire love"), 伽蓮 ("companion lotus"), and 佳憐 ("excellent sympathy").[5]
Renda (簾田[?]) means "bamboo screen, rice paddy".[6]
Story[]
In Gods' Miniature Garden, she uses her skill of self-suggestion to convince herself she's in love with Mene Tame after finding out Amane Amasaki was in love with Mene, and stands in way of Amane as a rival. Since Amane hasn't taken any major actions to swoon Mene, Karen's odd behaviour of "falling in love" escalates.
