History
Date of Birth: December 19th, 1970
Home: Oakland, California, United States
Family: Taner and Seran Nazif (parents); Karya (birth name; parents changed it legally when they immigrated to Joan); Oscar Chapman (husband), Mandy (oldest daughter), Suzie (middle daughter), Justice (youngest daughter)
Death: Personal Tragedy (Joan's parents immigrated from Turkey when she was 5, she grew up in America and she studied hard in school and later in med school, becoming a talent and successful plastic surgeon in the Bay Area, but then died driving her daughters home from school one fateful day; her two older daughters in the car died with her, but the youngest, still a toddler, survived in her car seat), 2010
Mentor: Carey Dakota
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (Carey Reaped her after sensing her death marks and tutored her in the bizarre and frightening Underworld, initiating her in the Masquers after she quickly picked up the "rules" of being dead)
Comrades: Carey Dakota
Key Event #1: Treachery (Joan was confronted right away with the shadowy existence of her two dead daughters, and it wrecked any sense of serenity she might have had right off the bat, and to make things worse, Carey began to sadistically exploiteJoan's dark attributes)
Transition: Defeat (Joan felt helpless and submitted to Carey's command over her afterlife until she spots an opportunity to rebel and save both she and her daughters from Carey and any others' depredations; even her surviving widower husband had been all but forgotten)
The Shadow
Appearance: Her Shadow manifests as a hopeless, desperate, helpless immigrant teenager; her Shadow also manifests two of her three daughters (the one that died with her in the accident but apparently did not Reap as wraiths) at almost all times
Trigger: Whenever she's leading others or others are acutely dependent on her

Carey
Weakness
Mixed-up Mom
Dr. Joan Chapman was very proud of her career and accomplishments but her untimely death threw it all into stark contrast, especially since her daughters' lives also cut short. She feels guilt and, consequently, extreme protectiveness over her daughters, even if she realizes that the manifestations at her side aren't her really real daughters (probably?). Plus, there's the matter of her third living daughter...
Likelihood of Corruption
High.
Her anxiety, combined with her abusive mentor's diabolic delights, is likely to send her spiraling straight down to Oblivion.
