Karen Gillan in “Jumanji 2”

There are many theories out there about why the actress, Karen Gillan, is dress in barely nothing in the new movie “Jumanji 2.” When the first image was released to the public, it show the notable cast member looking like she was at a Halloween party and then got lost in a jungle.

Gillian plays Ruby Roundhouse in the film, alongside Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black. Johnson insisted that there is a reason in the plot for the clothing choices of Ruby in the movie.

Some fans are even guessing that Gillian’s character is meant to be a trope, who is a stereotypical character from the game. For now, we must trust The Rock on Ruby’s wardrobe. We can only guess on the different storylines that might need a character to dress in barely nothing, from running away from animals to shrinking her clothes in the dryer.

The feminine name Karen is the Danish short form of Katherine, which is taken from the Greek name Aikaterine. The names etymology is debated, it either comes from the Greek name Aikaterine or hekateros meaning “each of the two”; or it came from the goddess Hecate; or it may have been related to the Greek word aikia meaning “torture”; or from a name in coptic meaning “my consecration of your name.” However, in the Christian era, it was associated with the Greek word katharos meaning “pure”.

The name Karen became popular after the 1930s in the English-speaking world for females.
