karia tenshi wang was born one chill morning in brooklyn to two doting parents who considered her to be their little miracle. they had tried for years prior to have a child to no avail so when yoshiro and keiko found out they were to be expecting, they spared no expense to make sure that their child would come out happy and healthy, and she did. what they didn't expect was to have such a quiet child and for the first year, she didn't really cry unless she was hungry, tired, or wanted attention and hadn't gotten it. not that either were going to complain. when she started to talk they couldn't shut her up though. No matter what she was doing, or who was around, she was always talking, even when there was nothing to really be understood coming from her. it was as if she liked the sound of her own voice, something she'd forever be teased for because she really didn't have an ability to stay quiet for long, that much evident as she grew and was able to form actual sentences and couldn't stop once she started.

there has always been a void in karia's life, brought on by the fact that when she was just three years old both of her parents had died in a car accident and she was sent to live with her aunt and uncle in irvington. not like it was too much further from where she was borna dn raised, but it was still a change from the start in life that her parents had begun with her. while her aunt and father were twins, they both had very different views for the world that they were living in and their thoughts behind it. her father was very much set in the old ways and while they were home, he and her mother were intent on talking mandarin in the house, wanting karia to grow up knowing her native tongue first and foremost, while her aunt had very much adapted herself to the "american lifestyle" and made sure that english was the main language spoken in her house.

while she always felt the void her parents absense in her life caused, karia was a very outspoken and energetic youth, and always found herself getting in to one thing or another, and driving her aunt and uncle up a wall. for the most part up until she was a teenager, she was as ideal of a student as a hyper active child could be. it wasn't until she was a teenager that her hyperactivity got the best of her, and her aunt had to spend more than one afternoon up at the school because karia had gotten herself in to trouble. it wasn't intentional but she couldn't help herself, and she couldn't focus. there were times she'd just walked off campus when something caught her eye and she'd wander off to take pictures or to just explore. while it did cause problems with school, her aunt and uncle were always proud that at least she wasn't out doing anything that could really get her in to trouble or worse. they would take a niece that often wandered off, and more often than not ended up skipping classes because of it, to take pictures than one that got in trouble for drugs or crime.

making friends in person wasn't easy for karia though. while she loved to be outspoken and could talk anyone's ear off, most found her to be too much and a tad annoying that they didn't spend much time with her. not that it phased her, she still tried to befriend anyone that would allow her to and would talk to anyone and everyone she came across. she really found her niche though in the online world and between the games that she'd play and the forums that she was apart of, she at least had friends that she could talk to and to share things with, even if some of it was behind anonymity. her favorite thing to do being playing her games, whether it be call of duty, grand theft auto or even world of warcraft and having that bond with her friends on the games. her favorite part of that being that she didn't really know who they were outside of their gamer tags, but she knew that she could always depend on them and that no matter what they'd always have fun together, or at least they would try.

when she was in high school, she began to offer her services as a photographer as a means for making money without having to resort to a job in fast food. the first year was slow for projects, but it was something that she expected with the fact that she didn't have that much to show off. it's when she started her instagram account for all of the random pictures that she took through out the days from children playing on playgrounds to the most random of shots that she could find. she would even stop people on the street to ask if she could take photos of them. while she's been at it for years now, and had some regulars that she does projects for from different shoots through out the year for the holidays and to mark milestones for theif children, she also has a part time waitressing job and does some modeling work on the side to make sure that her ends meet.
