Talenii Karo was nineteen when she made her début for Starblaydia during the World Cup 29 Qualifiers. Though Khim Azanulbizarn was unsure of whether her best position was as attacking midfielder (behind Durum Rage and Fillipo Zinaldi) or as defensive midfielder (behind Pedro Rujano and Tara Niodonna), he took Talenii as a utility player able to cover both positions. Her first goal came in those qualifiers, as part of a five-nil win against Virginia Nova.
She required the retirement of Pedro Rujano to advance to a starting position in the side, when Jaime Oberlander selected her as the starting Defensive Midfielder for World Cup 31. Starblaydia easily reached the finals, despite two losses to Qazox, where Karo scored against Demot on Matchday Two of the Group Stages in The Lowland Clans. She also played at World Cup 32.
Talenii was a stalwart of the Starblaydia women's national football team, beginning as an attacking player before making the transition to defensive midfield, where she appeared thirty-three times and scored on five occasions. Talenii's daughter, Karinha (meaning 'little Karo'), played football as a Central/Attacking Midfielder for Starblaydia after Starblaydia's international football hiatus).
