History - Loosing her parents at a young age caused Karine to grow up fast. She became responsible for her siblings, and a family friend, looked after Oasis Hold as she grew up. The mystery of her parents' death haunted her as she tried to understand what had caused their demise. No one knew, they had just vanished after a Gather in the South, not even a body had turned up. It was suspected that they were attacked by a wild animal and would not be returning.
In her younger teen years, Karine was convinced she did not want to be Lady Holder, and she did everything possible to get away from that part of her life. She tried running away, refusing to do things required of her, even going on hunger strikes, but the knowledge that it was what her parents wanted, always broke her, and she would fall back into place. She just never felt like she belonged there, like she was an outsider.
At the age of seventeen she was officially named Lady Holder of Oasis Hold. She met her soon to be husband just after the celebration. He was an Offworlder named Matthew Dunham, and they were married after he properly courted her for a Turn's time. Karine finally felt like she belonged to Oasis, now that she had her husband, her siblings, and her own family would be starting soon.
At the birth of her son, Karine and Matthew could not have been happier. He was perfectly healthy and a wonderful child. Karine was living a completely blissful life. Her Holdfolk were becoming used to her authority and had begun to take her seriously, even at her youngish age, she had the love of her life by her side, along with her brother and sister, and now she had her son too.
After two turns of complete happiness, a strange sickness befell Makarin, Karine's two Turn old son. The healers didn't know what to do, and Karine even brought in some offworld doctors to look at him. What he had was spreading so fast and growing so rapidly that there was nothing any medicine or surgery could do. Makarin died in his mother's arms.
After the death of their son, Karine and Matthew grew strained, and finally they separated, Matthew leaving Pern to return to his home planet. Karine wanted to turn Oasis hold over to her siblings, but they convinced her to keep going as Lady Holder. For six Turns she silently grieved, never showing a sign of weakness in her authority. She was changed, slightly, not as happy as she once was, much more serious about her responsibilities, but she retained her kind, gentle, caring, maternal nature that kept her Holdfolk loyal to her.
