Friendly Neighborhood Sadist 

C albert thought this is best described as a drugged, manipulated, vulnerable woman taken advantage of by a guy looking to pick up any one he could get back so he could trap them. Uses his alienation and hostage taking skills to force the her in compromising situations...this guy is a disgusting....truth is a friendly neighborhood sadist would be a slut, someone easy, a mark....so with that said you fail to accurately describe any Caren(beautiful crazy woman) I know....Carens are the magic yet flexible enough to be the magician, a Witch yet smart enough to be the Spell, often a Teacher but also the lesson needed.....Carens wouldn't be best described as unicorns, just not enough uniqueness..maybe a glowing unicorn with a sparkling glitter mane elevated by love, if a unicorn is a must it would be THAT GOOD..she is a friendly neighborhood sadist only if you rewrite a few dictionaries and relearn the ENGLISH language until that occurs she will be MAGIC

Caren isn't some 2 bit friendly neighborhood sadist Charlie makes her out to be but her Magic lets him believe whatever he wants to believe while she remains the same.
