Karoline 

Karoline is one of the most prettiest girls out there. She is also funny, sweet, romantic, outgoing, caring, speacial to many. She's sometimes rude.. but she doesn't listen to any shit people give her. She stands up for her beliefs, her friends, her family and others. Karoline's can sometimes act very immature, like a 5 year old, she is very sarcastic, and loves teasing people but sometimes she over does it. She is quite pure and just incredibly talented. She is very determined to get what she wants and doesn't like to let the people she cares about down. She can be seriously bitchy most of the time too but that is just who she is but once you get your eyes on her you'll get over it. Karoline's also have a really nice body but they usually take foregranted. If u ever fall in love with a karoline... don't let her down, always check up on her and make her smile, tell her u love her and just be good to her because she's not someone u want to lose in ur life.
