Description This is for 's contest. This round was weakness.

It took me a while to figure out what Karli's biggest weakness was. She's afraid of many things; heights, the dark, insects... but it dawned on me that those are just fears she has. None of those things affect her on a psychological level. What does, however, is her sister. Since Full Metal Alchemist is all about brotherly love, I wanted to make Karli's relationship with her sibling the polar opposite of that, just to spice things up.

Veronica is older than Karli by a year. While Karli is always referred to as the "cute little sister", Veronica has a much more adult-like appearance. She is blessed with a beautiful voice and look, but somehow fell short in the personality aspect. She knows she's talented and attractive, and uses that to her advantage as much as she can. She also knows that her fortune aggravates Karli, and adores showing off while she's around for that reason.

Though Karli is a bit jealous of her sister's voice and looks (though she'll never admit that to anyone), what really bugs her is that she feels the world picks Veronica over her. When they still lived in Aerugo, Karli had very few friends because whenever someone talked to her, they were most likely trying to use her to get close to Veronica. After years of this occurring, it has developed into one of Karli's greatest fears; that Veronica will always out shine her so much, no one will ever be able to see Karli under her shadow.

Yey~~ This was good weakness, IMO! I was thinking of "fear/cowardness" for Marina too, but I recently changed my mind to something else, something more original.

I just have to say, I really like Karli in that outfit! She's so cute in it!

I wish you good luck in the contest! The due date is the 5th so I have a couple of days!

I wish I could draw like you

If you ask me, I think Karli AND Veronica both look equally beautiful Karli should start appreciating herself more; true beauty is on the inside ^.^ (or maybe this is just me rambling because I just finished watching Hunchback of Notre Dame *sniffs and wipes tear*)

I think insecurity is a real weakness and you've protrayed it very well Well done!

Aw shucks, thank you! You just made my whole day.

Somewhere down the story, I think I'll have Veronica visit. That'll be a nice little side story.

You're very welcome

Ohmigosh, that would be so much fun! I don't know about you, but I think watching Veronica clash with Roz would be absolutely hilarious! They're such polar opposites of each other!

Bahaha, I was thinking that too! I was picturing Karli sitting all emo in the corner because she's is taking up attention again, then she hears Roz and Veronica bicker, then she's all, "*beam of happiness*"
