Matthieu la Wellsearia: Though the two really don't know each other that well, Kari knew that he was a shady character from the time that they met and didn't trust him at all.

Dueling Skills
Since she works at the card shop, Kari has come to learn the game Duel Monsters very well. She introduces Duel Monsters to her school as well. She knows everything about the mechanics of the game, but doesn't know how to put strategy into her cards. Her deck consists of Fairies and Spellcasters which work to raise your Life Points and defend them using the Fairies while dishing out effect damage and going on the offense with the Spellcasters. Her cards also work with the rare card her grandfather had left behind called "Ancient Light- Shine Wizard".

Kari asks Kazumaru to rate her deck, which he tells her that she needs more cards that will stop attacks instead of just having cards that raise your lifepoints. He tells her the best cards would be the ones that do both, such as "Draining Shield".
