👩 Karen Whitmore

Species: Human
Position: HR Assistant

Karen is still the company's infamous complaint machine. She's bossy, judgmental, nosy, and constantly convinced that someone is violating company policy.

Her relationship with Polyphemus: Absolutely terrible.

She complains about his size.

He complains about her complaining.

She files a report.

He reads it and says:

"I'M NOT READING THIS."

And walks away.
