[h3][i][b]~Personal Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Personality:[/b] Calista, as a daughter of Aphrodite, is a known flirt. She enjoys the dating game as much as a child of Ares likes the battlefield. For Calista, it is a battlefield a true test of one’s abilities. She has honed her charm and charisma to a deadly edge and finds herself eager to please. Calista is typically well liked by those who get to know her, however she typically has to make up for stepping off on the wrong foot with most people she meets. This is most commonly due to her flirty exterior, people assume she lacks depth. Calista is very proud of at least half of her heritage, she had an upbringing many would be jealous of, especially Demigods. Aphrodite, her mother, dropped her off at her half sister's house when her father passed away. She was told growing up that one day the same may happen to her, though for some reason it seemed a fantasy that would never happen. But if there was one thing Calista took from her childhood it was immense pride as a daughter of Aphrodite. Most other demigods look down upon her mother as a lesser god with feeble abilities, but years of training directly under her mother has benefited Calista deeply in both tactics and deception. Calista handles negative emotions in an unusual way for a daughter of Aphrodite. Most seek a partner or ten and make do with what they have. However Calista acts much more human, she sits, she cries she gets angry and throws a tantrum. Her mother accounts to this to how strong her father’s will was. Calista feels as though this is one of her defining features and is surprising proud of her human characteristics after spending so long around Jaune and Aphrodite herself. She has very mixed emotions of her father, on one hand every story accounts to him being the paramount of a man, he was a barrel chested ice fisherman with a figure chiseled from Mount Olympus itself. But she had long forgotten his figure or form. He had the voice of a siren and the eyes as blue as the ocean he constantly traversed. However before Calista’s fourth birthday he passed, drowned at sea. She fears being left and though she would never admit it also fears open water to some extent. She has a distaste for Poseidon, knowing her father died in his domain however as Aphrodite has explained more than once, gods cannot save every human from every inevitable death. Calista still finds it difficult to get over however. [b]Skills:[/b] [b]Amokinesis:[/b] A power possessed by all of the children of Aphrodite. The ability to control emotion, most prominently those involving love. Calista’s experience and training under another daughter of Aphrodite has given her an inherent talent manipulating those who love. Her experience has also allowed her the ability to easily manipulate a lack of love, whether that create animosity, hatred or apathy. [b]Charmspeak:[/b] The ability to influence other with the strength of your voice. Charmspeak is bestowed on few children of Aphrodite and works to strengthen their abilities of Amokinesis. It took little time for Calista to discover this ability with the tutelage of a daughter of Aphrodite herself. She is able to persuade other with just her voice and to the untrained ear, unbeknownst to her target the majority of the time. Some examples are simply asking to cut in line at a coffee shop or asking a mark to betray valuable information. [b]Inherent French:[/b] As all children of Aphrodite can, Calista can speak French as long as it is popularly known as the language of love. As an offshoot of this ability Aphrodite or her children’s abilities are at their strongest when in Paris, the city of love. [b]Virtuoso:[/b] Calista is a phenomenal harpist as well as an enchanting singer. She has learned to use Charmspeak through singing as well as speaking in order to get what she wants from someone however it is much more difficult to do through singing in a variety of ways. First off, she must make direct eye contact with the mark, secondly she must be thinking of both the coming notes and melodies as well as their hidden meaning. If she can focus long enough and hard enough to accomplish this, this version of Charmspeak is much more potent. [b]Fighting:[/b] Calista fights with αγκαλιά αγάπης (Spelt phonetically: ankaliá agápis). She is swift and relatively nimble utilizing Amokinesis in mid fight in order to make an enemy hesitate before striking the winning blow. While she is somewhat competent fighting with her hands and a sword and shield, any who had actually spent time training in either of those two aspects would be able to best her without any other outside influence. [b]Biography:[/b] Calista was born in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Her father was a fisherman whose weekly routine would be to cast a wide net around the island of Victoria and then make his way back into harbor. One evening he met a woman on his way home, she had red hair and emerald eyes, freckles too. They say that Aphrodite looks different depending on the time of day, month, temperature and wind speed. Which is more or less true, they also say that her children will inherit her features at their conception, this was definitely true. Calista, without an Irish bone in her body, is a sturdy redhead who can hold her nectar sporting freckles all around the bridge of her nose and cheeks. For the first four years of young Calista’s life she lived with her father, he was a fisherman and as such she had her sea legs before she managed to figure out her land legs. It wasn’t long after that her father had passed away. For poetries sake, it would be nice to think of that day as a huge storm, raging currents, pounding winds, the whole package. But it was a clear sail, a steady sea and everything except for one little thing in the universe was [b][i]perfect.[/i][/b] The first time Calista met her mother was at her father’s funeral. She was scooped up into her loving arms and embraced, hushed and coddled all the way home. She was brought to a home completely unfamiliar to her, though it was still in Vancouver. Turns out Aphrodite had thrust a child upon another one of her daughters. Apparently it's not even all that uncommon among the daughters and sons of Aphrodite, having a child, a sibling thrust upon them in times of need. A god can't permanently raise one of their children, or so Calista has been told. Jaune was Calista's half sister, her primary caregiver and Calista's greatest antagonist for the majority of her life. She treated her less like a relative and more like an instrument she was tuning, day in and day out. She twisted, pulled, replaced parts of Calista trying to shape her into the perfect being. Calista's seventh birthday she was given a dagger, bronze, had similar abilities to cupid's arrows. She was told it was worth more than she would ever amount to. A person can only take being told they are worthless for so long until they snap. Calista remembered that day well. Aphrodite's second visit, her longest visit. She took the two girls out for a day rowing on a canoe, though she did not row, their mother convinced to able-bodied men to. They sailed over the stretch of open water where Calista's father had drowned, not too far from shore, in fact one could've swam. But he did not, Aphrodite explained to her daughters, sometimes things had to happen and those things were devoid of meaning and importance. Calista took training more seriously and she became that finely tuned instrument and oh how she played. Two years ago Calista began real training. She was bred a lover [i]and[/i]a fighter. Taught how to use her looks as a soldier uses his sword. How to sway people’s strongest opinions to her side with a glance, a flutter of her eyelashes. She was taught to pluck at the strings of a harp as if she was one of the sisters of fate plucking at the string of a life. By the time she was let back out into the world she was no longer Calista Celena Eden, daughter of a fisherman living in Canada. She was Calista, daughter of Aphrodite, a demigod. Calista entered camp half-blood when she was nearly eighteen years old and has been there ever since. She isn’t too well known as she has yet to want to make an appearance, but watching heroes return from missions, it makes a girl yearn for some adventure. [h3][i][b]~Weaponry Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Weapon/s:[/b] a Dagger. [b]Weapon/s Name:[/b] αγκαλιά αγάπης (Spelt phonetically: ankaliá agápis/Lover’s Embrace). [b]Weapon/s Type:[/b] Bronze Dagger. [b]Attributes:[/b] αγκαλιά, as a bronze weapon cannot harm humans, however it possesses qualities not unlike Cupid’s arrows. When a mark is struck by the dagger they feel immense feelings of love, lust or obsession, depending on if the target is struck in the torso, lower body or head respectively.
