Who Am I?

Daughter of Smoke & Bone By Laini Taylor
Karou, the main character works for this half human half animal named Brimstone. Karou isn't a normal child and her friends start to notice that, but its not only her friends getting suspicious but when Karou storms into Brimstone's office with slash marks about to black out, the two Chimeras Issa and Yasri try to help her and one of them named Yasri said, "You don't think...? They couldn't know about her." That is when Karou started worrying that they are not telling her some thing, some thing important.
I think that Karou is worried about who she really is because Brimstone never actually told her who she is, where she was born, who her parents are if she has any. I also think Brimstone and Issa and Yasri are worried about telling her, but why would they not tell her, is it going to make her change her mind about Brimstone? Probably not though because he has taken care of her ever since she can remember. Then again Brimstone and everyone were really worried when Karou didn't come to the shop for a long time and Brimstone said that he thought she was gonna leave them forever and then Karou asked why he cared and he brushed it off. That makes me go towards Karou's thoughts of who she is and why no one will tell her. Her friends are getting worried and always asking her where she is from and she cant answer and she has blue hair and weird things happen with her when Karou makes wishes that her friends don't know about.
From her friends point of view i would be suspicious too. I would also be mad if my best friend that's close to me didn't tell me things about her and i would try to find out for my self. But if her friends do get mad it would be wrong because Karou doesn't know but its also her fault for not telling her friends the truth either. Her friends are also suspicious of why Karou is always gone and comes back injured or with new exotic things or anything else and Karou is obviously hiding things from them but for good reason i can see why she does because if she did tell her friends wouldn't want to be around her.
Lastly I am suspicious of who she is and why Brimstone wont tell Karou who she is. It couldn't be that much of a change can it?  But the truth hurts and maybe it will hurt everyone. All we can do is wait...
