Headstrong, excitable and stubborn, she lets no one stand in her way. She likes to do things her way even if it might not be the best way. Quite the curious creature, she loves to explore and finds nature fascinating, and its not uncommon that she often tries to bring nature back home with her in some way, be it the mas of leaves, sticks, sap and grimy water clinging to her coat. Or the 'gifts' she tries to bring to her handler, such as dead birds, strangely shaped sticks, or sometimes, live critters she befriends. But even though she is so bull headed and can be rather rude, if not heinous and spiteful at times, she can be very sweet. However Karrigan suffers from a brain condition caused by pressure on her brain as a pup, causing a condition which gives her random mood swings and sometimes she acts out for no reason. It takes a special type of handler to take care of such a large Dire like Karrigan. And she'll let you know it.
