Nickname(s): Cal, Izzy
Age: 690 years
Sex: Female
Species: Elf
Faceclaim: Billie Piper
Allignment: Neutral
Alias: N/A
Group: N/A
Average Hero/Villain Information:
Callista, having been born without the shapeshifting power her family is usually known for, has instead taken it upon herself to become a healer. She banished herself from the Elven world, and now works as a doctor in the human one.
Powers:
- Control over magic: She can perform most spells, bar the incredibly high-level ones, with just a snap of her fingers
- Healing abilities: Not a particularly special power, as it comes with the magic, but Callista has always had more of a skill with healing others then anything else.
Weaknesses: Iron, like all fae.
Mutations: None unusual in her race.
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5'2”
Build: Petite
Overall Physical Description:
Callista is unlike most of her sister in that she has actual curves. Instead of being small and delicate, she actually seems robust in a way, certainly capable of taking care of herself. At least... that was how it was when she was tall. Now that she's been banished and shrunk about a foot or so in height, she seems like the sort of type you would want to protect if it came down to it. As much as she hates it when people assume this.
Her hair is the golden blonde common among Elven royalty, and it comes down to her shoulders. She keeps it straightened and trimmed just the way she likes it. Her eyes take on the pattern of most Elves' eyes; the "whites" are a lighter shade of whatever color the iris is, in this case blue. They glow white when she is extremely upset or if she's using powerful magic. She changes them to a common, chocolate-brown color when passing as human. Callista's clothes are casual yet fashionable, unlike the dresses her sister Evelyn often wears.
Overall Personality Description:
Callista has always had a mean competitive streak, wanting to be the best out of her siblings or at whatever she was doing at the time. The problem was, often times she wasn't, and this left a mark on her that couldn't be taken back. She began to believe herself inferior, and still thinks herself so. It doesn't take much of an insult to break her pride, and even now, after living amongst humans for about a year, she's still a very fragile thing; she was the sibling most affected by her father's abuse.
Despite this, she will not take crap even if she does believe it. She's fiery, and oftentimes the only emotion she shows is anger or a calm, cool slate of neutrality. It takes a lot for her to open up to someone, and most count theirselves lucky if she does; if you're on Callista's good side, good things often happen to you. When she does manage to open up, she can actually seem... sweet, in a way. She loves to laugh.

History:
Callista was a... special case, in her family.
She was born the fifth of the nine children of Demetri and Persephone Sophronia, and the only one other then Evelyn's twin Evander to not be a Shapeshifter. For the longest time, she tried to prove herself the best of her siblings to make up for the skill that she lacked; the nicest, most obedient, smartest, quietest of them all. But she ultimately failed, and her father still treated her the exact same as the rest. She was still punished (harshly) when she did something her father found out of line, and she was still thoroughly ignored otherwise.
For the longest time, she just endured this, though it nearly killed her inside. She was just the type that needed attention, and when she couldn't get it...
It was Evelyn's banishment that finally drove her away from the family. She and her younger sister had always been close, and her being forced to leave gave Callista an idea. She ran from the palace, to make her own way in the world. Maybe she could prove herself out there.
It wasn't long (at least, not for an Elf) before she met Damek, an Elf commoner whom she almost immediately attatched herself to. He made his home out of a large pine tree and mainly lived by conning unsuspecting humans. Damek took a liking to her, as well, and so the two became a couple.
Callista didn't even realize he was conning her, too, before it was too late. Damek knew about her high status, being the daughter of a prince, and hoped to use it to his own benefit. But when he found out she had cut all ties with the royal family and refused to return to them, he simply left her. He didn't even say goodbye; just wrote a note in the middle of the night and fled. Callista was heartbroken, and it was Damek who was the one to finally push her into the unemotional, guarded person she is.
She went into human society after that, and after a while she found her talent with healing. She became a healer where people would take her as one, moving every time it became clear that she wasn't aging. She now works in a hospital in New York, one of their top doctors.
