Karen Hargraves

A petite woman in her late fifties, Karen's seemingly fragile appearance belays a personality hardened by years on the job as district attorney. Wearing her hair in a grey bob cut and dressing in simple suits, she has a hard, disciplined look about her. She has a brilliant smile, but hardly anyone has seen it.
In the office, Karen has a no-nonsense attitude, working long hours with little reward, driven by her passion for serving the public trust and enforcing the law - and she expects others to do the same.
In private, she is an adoring wife and grandmother, but few people get to know her privately, as she makes sure to keep her work and personal lives separate.
Both of Karen's parents were police officers, and her mother died in the line of duty. Karen joined the force herself and became a detective, but she realised that it did not matter how good a job she did if the prosecutors didn’t get the convictions. She entered law school, and after passing the bar, she joined the district attorney’s office. From that point on, her career has progressed steadily forward.
