Throughout most of Class of 09 Re-Up's plot involving Karen's story arc, she had displayed her emotions in a way that indicates she prioritizes using her (Fe) function. Though quite expressive with her feelings especially when she was mocked for her weight by Nicole and Jecka, she seems to be quite careful about articulating her feelings especially when talking about her self worth. Humble to a fault, when being fake complimented by Nicole, she clearly insisted that wasn't what was she was being described as. Even when being aware of the fact that she was being manipulated by Nicole into letting her use MySpace on one of the school pcs in the local library, she still let her use the PC because she had read from her situation that she seemed desperate in some way, even when Karen didn't know that Nicole had, in fact, been trying to find a way out of her homeless problem. This was clearly to build rapport with her in good faith, in order to prevent Nicole from causing further trouble in the library. She also seemed to be able to discern that Jeffrey's obsession with certain niches, like anime and even various fetishes did not necessarily make him a bad person who is willing to act out on his fantasies against real life women. In fact, she had thought Jeffrey to actually be a really unique and nice person based on her validating compliment in that one mall scene with those two dating. Unfortunately, her tendency to rely on her Fe function had also put her into a bad situation, such as when she was being tricked into getting guys to "skeet" with her by Nicole and Jecka. With regard to her (Ni), it's been explained by her ex-middle school friend Jecka that there were many times in which Karen would bring up books and movies with such depth that she lost friends because of this tendency of hers, much to her social detriment. It can also be implied that her use of her (Ni) function was what made her quite comfortable with and accepting of Jeffrey's episodes of him diving deep into niche topics, prior to being manipulated by Nicole and Emily into breaking up with him. And of course, she is just as much of an introvert, like Jeffrey, due to their lack of friends and spending time alone reading books and watching shows.
