Visual (view gallery?)
Eye-catching and striking, Karlach's a hard one to miss. She stands out with her strawberry red skin, the burn of infernal fire behind her amber eyes, slit pupils, long devil-shaped tail, and her towering height. The glow of the engine underneath her ribs can be seen through any thin clothing, constantly pulsating in time with her heart beat.

The colour of flames it produces can shift from orange/red to others, a clear indication of her emotions.

Almost never seen without a great-axe or other hefty weapon.

Aural
Loud, confident, warm, and just a little deep. Much of her emotion clearly comes through via her voice, often unable to hold it back. Prone to shouting and exclamations.

Olfactory
🔥🌲🥥 Earth, fire, and something a little sweet from her last bath. Cleans up well, but usually smells like dirt and sweat with a hint of sulfur.

Demeanour
😄🤩👿 Friendly and personable, Karlach is a veritable social butterfly. She loves talking to people, hearing what they have to say, or stories they can tell, and just getting to shoot the shit. Warm by default with others, but also more than capable of flying into a heated rage if offended enough.

Physical Touch
{/} WARNING: FIRE. Burning hot to the touch, Karlach's skin isn't the easiest to physically come in contact with. She's more likely to damage the hand trying to touch her, ranging from a singe to severe burns. Handle with thick gloves.

The source of her internal heating problem is the infernal engine in her chest, working as a replacement heart. It's kept her from physical touch for around a decade, making her eager to be able to touch others again.

Combat
{} Never a bad time for a fight or a friendly spar. Violence is a multi-faceted solution.

Death
{?} Against permanent death scenarios, but open to being felled. Message to work out details.

Romance
{} Across the board, yes. Karlach is interested in living life to the fullest and part of that is giving her heart to someone. Before her days of tearing up the hells, she was still in the phase of "jump on anything that moves".

Actually, she's still a little in that phase. Don't judge her, she's been at war for years. There's a lot of pent of feelings there.

Mental
{/?} Held together by an impressive amount of determination and spite, Karlach's mind is pretty stable. Or it would be if not for the mindflayer tadpole that's wiggling around in her brain.

It doesn't exactly like being looked at.
