The daemon is named Ilibaugam. It is not a combat oriented daemon but rather feeds off of despair and dark passions of humans and other sentient creatures. It either works behind the scenes of a small cult to manipulate them into depravity or it will outright possess a human, preferably a psyker and work it's cruelty directly. Basically it is a clever manipulator that patiently weaves a web that will eventually allow it to burst forth in an orgy of torment, temptation and ultimately damnation and destruction.
It doesn't directly serve any of the four Powers but might be a combination of aspects of Tzeentch and Slaanesh.
When it possessed her it used her powers to amplfy its own. It wasn't a matter of warp lightning and crude fire although it used those powers; mostly it worked with subtle torments of the mind. The whole process was pretty nasty and only a lucky strike with a blessed spear wounded her deeply enough to give Kara the chance to shake off the daemon.
Kara was not possessed long enough to be truly warped but the process had started. She was pretty before the incident but had started to be transformed something otherworldly. Eventually she would have been twisted into a daemonic shape similar to a daemonette but had not gone that far. I used the term hauntingly beautiful to reflect some subtle changes that linger in her appearance. She's not obviously warp-touched or she would have been destroyed on the Black Ships but she catches the eye. Also some of her fey attitudes are due to the stress of the sanctioning but also some of it is left over from sharing her head with a creature from the Warp.
