Kasira Vang's Car

ABOUT
HISTORY
MISCELLANEOUS

Upon leaving the student parking lot, Zac noticed Kasira Vang watching them from her Matrix, surrounded by her usual contingent of young female cronies. She frowned as they passed, which gave Zac a curiously pleasant feeling..."

This eye-catching Toyota Matrix is the personal vehicle of Kasira Vang.

It's unlike any other vehicle in Hidden Rock... and perhaps the world. This lavender-colored Toyota Matrix with a giant flower decal on the side is a true reflection of its owner: beautiful and pretentious.

Kasira Vang uses the vehicle like a mobile office, often "holding court" around it in the high school parking lot after school or shuttling around members of what Ben Sher refers to as "her entourage."

Although classmates assume the car was given to Kasira by her wealthy parents, she actually purchased it used from money she earned working in her family's restaurants.

The lavender paint job and flower decals were added at a later date.

Kasira's Privileged Life

There's no doubt that Kasira Vang has the nicest car of anyone at Edgewater High school... and she knows it. The car's not only a symbol of Kasira's popularity, but of her family's wealth and reputation within the community of Hidden Rock. Although much of the Vang's wealth came (allegedly) from criminal activities organized by her great-grandfather, today the family owns only thriving and legitimate businesses. To her credit, Kasira works part time in one of the restaurants and uses her earnings to pay for upkeep on her expensive car.
