Karandeep Kaur
Karandeep (Kara) Kaur (a.k.a. Morpho)
Kara is determined, spunky, charismatic, and a peace-loving person.
She loves to get involved in extracurricular activities, such as assisting Houston with his inventions and potion making, tending Jenelle’s garden, and acting on stage at the Glendale Global Theatre. Most recently she has been cast in the role of Lady MacBeth.
Despite being strongly against violence, she is more than willing to fight if her friends are ever in danger, even if it means risking her life. When Jenelle and Rick are incapacitated Kara briefly joins the Butterflies. The girls in the gang all grow to admire Kara and her devotion to her friends, eventually earning her name Morpho. The name is based on both Kara's ability to create camouflage and after a species of butterfly.
Of the group, Kara is closest to Asher. She loves his fun loving attitude and often assists in his practical jokes. She admires his ability to be free and unapologetic for who he is, a trait she one day hopes to acquire.
When the Countess of Elba comes to Glendale, Kara is commissioned to create several costumes for her and her associates. While Kara questions some of the costumes, she assumes they are meant for future productions at the Glendale Global Theatre. When Kara finally meets the illustrious Countess at a masquerade, the Countess suggests casting Kara in the lead role in an upcoming opera. While Kara is hesitant, the Countess promises to hire voice and acting coaches to ensure Kara is well prepared for opening night.
Always up for a new challenge, Kara gladly accepts.
As Kara practices, she becomes incredibly frustrated as she struggles with the notes. Her coaches grow increasingly impatient with her and increasingly suggest finding a replacement for her.

The pair reconcile and Kara expresses her gratitude and voices her admiration of the strength her mother has shown by protecting her family over the years.
