KAREN or KEN
The term Karen (or Ken) is typically used to describe a specific type of person, usually a middle-aged white woman, who is perceived as entitled, demanding, and often confrontational. The Karen frequently complains or asks to speak to the manager in various situations, such as in retail stores, restaurants, or customer service interactions. They are often portrayed as being overly demanding, insisting on their perceived rights or privileges, and displaying a sense of entitlement.
However there are also other types of people who fall into different categories.
JOLENE or JAYDEN
A Jolene (or Jayden) is a person who possesses captivating beauty and charm and uses it to pursue the husbands or partners of other women. She exudes an irresistible allure that can cause married or committed men to be tempted and potentially stray from their relationships. Jolenes are often seen as a threat, as her captivating presence and appeal can create insecurities and tensions within relationships. She symbolizes the potential disruption of the stability and fidelity between couples. Also sometimes called "A Homewrecker".
SHARON or STEPHEN
A Sharon (or Stephen) likes to work in offices and is an employee whose lack of motivation and productivity is matched only by their catty nature and fondness for nasty gossiping. In addition to her sluggish approach to work, Sharon frequently engages in malicious conversations, spreading rumors and fostering a toxic atmosphere within the office. Office Politics is their game and they excel at it. When a Sharon is not slacking off on their duties, they can often be found whispering in hushed tones or engaging in small groups, eagerly sharing and perpetuating negative information about their coworkers. Lastly, Sharon will always try to climb the corporate ladder on the backs of people that they have badmouthed, and as soon as they become their superior they fires the people they've been gossiping about.
HELGA or HUGO
A Helga (or Hugo) is the epitome of a terrible neighbor, an individual who encompasses vanity, envy, avarice, and deceitfulness. They are driven by a deep-seated need for attention and is constantly preoccupied with their appearance and their house's appearance, seeking validation and admiration from others. Their vanity extends to their real estate and leads them to judge and belittle those who do not meet their perceived standards of beauty or success. Beyond their self-centeredness, Helga is envious of the success, possessions, and relationships of others. Rather than celebrating their accomplishments, they harbor resentment and seeks to undermine and sabotage them out of a sense of jealousy. This envy fuels their spiteful actions and fuels a desire to see others suffer.
