Karen
Karen is a character from the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. She is a supercomputer who is the wife of Plankton, owner of the Chum Bucket. Despite taking the form of a literal computer she nonetheless garners waifufags attracted to her dry and sarcastic wit, voice, and vibrant facial expressions shown through her screen.
Tournament History[edit]
Karen has made the Ms. /co/ tournament on two occasions: in 2020, she made it to the second round before losing to the ultimate tournament winner Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, and was a major dark horse in the 2021 contest, unexpectedly progressing to the Sweet Sixteen, upsetting Hekapoo, Velma Dinkley, and Anne Boonchuy, before being eliminated in a noted "Mann vs Machine" matchup by Miss Pauling.
Karen managed to live up to her 2021 run by again making it to the fourth round in Ms. /co/ 2022, with Enid, Marceline, and Shego among her defeated opponents. However in typical Ms. /co/ fashion Karen's run was embroiled in the midst of controversy, as she was accused among other characters by the host of having been rigged, to the surprise, confusion, and doubt of anons as Karen was the only among the listed "rigged" characters who was not a furry. Perhaps coincidently, she lost the fourth round to another character accused of rigging, Nicole Watterson.
In Ms. /co/ 2023 Karen's part in the 2022 rigging controversies was seemingly forgotten or otherwise disregarded, as little to no mention was made of it. In this year the computer wife managed a victory against Gwen Tennyson before becoming a victim of Harley Quinn's rise to the Elite Eight in the second round.
Karen received a hype boost in Ms. /co/ 2024 due to certain episodes of nu-SpongeBob being released focusing on the character and inspiring a variety of fan-arts based off of the designs she was depicted with in said episodes. Karen immediately became a highlight of the first round in her match against Jucika, which inspired many fanarts ranging from the two characters engaging in a dance-off based on the nu-Bob episode Tango Tangle, to various "lewds" of Karen in a bikini with Amity Blight. Both Karen and her opponent's supporters gave great effort in supporting their favorites, but in the end Jucika narrowly took the victory by 10 votes and went on to reach the runner-up position, leaving some pondering if Karen might have achieved a similar result had she scored just a few more votes in her first round bout with Jucika.
