Karla Choupette is an all-around character introduced in 2023. She is a student at Shadow High that focuses in Fashion Design.
Character Description
What's black, white, and pink all over? Karla Choupette of course! Born and raised in Paris — Karla’s the epitome of French chic. From classic patterns to tailored silhouettes, every detail is extremely refined and polished. And while her personal style tends to be black and white, her designs are anything but. In fact, she doesn't believe in following gender norms and finds a lot of her inspo in menswear fashion magazines. She believes it's not what you wear, but how you wear it.
Looks
Physical Appearance[]
Karla has a medium build and very light pink skin and grayish lavender eyes. For her makeup, she has icey pink and dark silver eyeshadow, white eyelashes and eyebrows, topped with light pink blush and lipstick. She has icey pink long hair that’s mostly worn down, being tied up on the top of her head.
Outfits[]
Karla wears an outfit which consists of a white puff-sleeved shirt with a black tie that has a shiny Shadow High button pin in the middle. On top of that is an icey pink sleeveless buttoned dress going down on some of the flaps, this piece has 2 pockets on it. On her hands are icey pink fingerless gloves with "SH" embroidered on them. She has a leather belt that has the letter "S" on it. Her earrings are huge letter monograms of S and H, connected with silver dangling chains which has a white jewel attached to both ends. She wears thigh-high black leather boots which are unzipped about 1/3 of the way up the shoe with buckles. Her fingernails are painted white, and pointy.
Personality
Karla is described as being very artistic and friendly, taking lots of pride in her fashion. She's also very unique, not caring about what's seen as normal and acceptable.
She highly values her fellow classmates as her true friends and cares deeply about them. However, this can also make her a bit of a people pleaser, as she will often have difficulty with trying to choose one persons suggestion over another and try to combine all their ideas to make them all happy, which doesn’t always work out.
She seems to have a bit of trouble feeling confident in her decisions and leadership skills when put in a position of authority, but can find her passion for her design with a bit of encouragement.
