Karen Greene

Karen Greene is a character in Boston Breeder. She is Jade's mother, and widow to Martin Greene.

Background
Karen and Martin met at a young age, growing up together and falling in love over the years. One night while out, she was abducted by the Zetans and injected with an early strain of the IHFM and sent back to earth for field trials. Upon her return home, she instantly jumped Martin, resulting in her pregnancy leading to Jade, whom she called her "little bundle of joy", until 'Little Green Devil" became more fitting.

During her time as mother, she had to take a more paternal role than her husband. While Martin frequently let Jade off the hook, Karen had to act as the voice of reason in the family.

Karen's life took a turn for the worse when a group of raiders led by Cancer attacked their family home in the Commonwealth. Karen sacrificed herself by taking a last stand against the raiders while Martin and Jade fled to safety. During the fight, she was critically injured, resulting in permanent damage to her uterus, rendering her infirtile.

Karen was left for dead, but survived the attack. She waited by the house for months, hoping her family would come back. At this time, she met Liam Blackwood, who helped Karen move past her family and rebuild her life on her own.

After giving up on her family returning, she began working with Liam to set up a group of Rangers, specializing in uprooting Raiders in the absense of the Commonwealth Minutemen. During her work with Liam, the two became romantically involved for a period of time.

Just prior to 2287, Karen began working as a caravan guard after leaving the Blackwood Rangers. Her combat expertise and renown as a Blackwood Ranger helped her find plenty of clients to work with.

In 2287, Karen was reunited with her long-lost daughter, after over two decades of being separated.
