Who are Karen and Grace?

Karen and Grace are characters from the show "Will & Grace." Karen is a socialite, who has to work to stay away from her family. Grace is an interior designer who hires Karen as her social worker. Grace and Karen are close friends, but their professional relationship is fickle and difficult, as Karen doesn't do her job efficiently. However, she doesn't want to offend Grace and so she says she will do whatever she wants. This is a way of characterizing Karen in an indirect way, as it shows how she wants the well-being of her friendships, even amid her flaws.
