Appearance:
Even from just a single glance it is easy to see that Callo is a warrior, not because of any bulging muscles, but because of the way in which she carries herself. Her stance reflects a mind that is keenly aware of its surroundings, ready to act at any presumed provocation, while her slim body is aptly built for both speed and prowess, though she excels more in the former than the latter.

Callo's light brown eyes are flecked with shades of copper and gold, giving them a warm, inviting glow when she's smiling, but a fierce predatoriness when in the heat of battle. Her blonde hair falls to her breasts when it is not pulled back away from her face; it is often in worn in a single, tight braid that she slings over the front of her right shoulder. Her skin portrays only the faintest indications of a tan, and the scars that mar that sun-kissed flesh are worn with pride, the most noticeable being the "L" shaped scar by her right eye and the vertical slit across the right side of her lips.

The woman's attire generally consists of linens and leather wear of the kind associated with the medieval period on earth. Callo cares not for clunky, metal armor, choosing instead to adorn herself in lightweight leather armor as to not hinder her speed. In battle, Callo typically wields a pair of twin hatchets that years of practice have allowed her to throw with amazing precision. It is a rarity for anyone to see her without these hand axes on her person at any given time.


Personality:
Determined and confident, Callo's usual bold and brave attitude is undermined by a surprising lack in articulation. This absence of eloquence often leads to frustration and embarrassment for the blonde who has been known to speak in broken sentences, or even stop speaking all-together in mid-sentence, if she cannot determine how to properly express herself.

What she lacks in communication Callo makes up for in physicality. The woman is quick-reflexed and agile, and has a deadly accuracy with long-ranged weaponry, although it is not beyond the blonde faerie to jump right into the thick of things, brandishing the blades of her twin hatchets furiously. That being said, Callo is very competitive, which means she loves a good challenge, and will likely take up any that is given to her whether it be serious or just for fun. Her sense of bravado has gotten her into trouble in the past, as has the general gullible nature of her character. To put it simply: she has a warrior's instincts, but not a whole lot of common sense.

Callo is not entirely blind to her own faults, however. She has learned when to keep her mouth shut, and has also become better at determining who does, and who does not, deserve her respect and trust. If a person manages to gain those two things from her they will have undoubtedly found themselves a deeply loyal and protective ally.

Despite her love of battle, Callo does have a softer side that enjoys a good time. It is not beyond the blonde fae to mingle with faerie of any standing and kingdom if the company is friendly, especially when ale is involved. She is an equal-opportunist in every sense of the term, and there are very few times when she honestly harbors ill will against another faerie unless she wholeheartedly believes that they deserve it.


History:
Callo has always been a faerie with an adventurous spirit, and as such she has spent about just as much time in the human realm as she has in Alanor. This constant jumping back and forth between worlds, accompanied by her own immortality, has left the warrior-woman with a skewed sense of time—she is often unsure of how long she has spent in one place or the other, not that it really matters all that much to her.

Accompanying Callo on her many adventures is her mantle, an energetic firefly named Cid. The pair have a bad habit of getting into tricky situations together, but always seem to manage to get out of any dilemmas they happen to find themselves in one way or another. Despite the trouble they often cause one another, the faerie and firefly share a deep adoration for one another, and any bickering between them is generally short lived.

Since her most recent return to Alanor, Cal has found herself involved in the situation revolving around the Sluagh and the Drow. Much of her time has been spent hunting and destroying these threats to the faerie, or aiding those caught up in the fighting against them.

I'm so-so about Cal. I'mma say let's keep her around for now in case the Seelie end up hurting for characters once we get things back up and running.
