Asteria and Charon, well known among the supernatural community for their past endeavors, had decided to settle down after the birth of their first and only child, Kalista. Here, Kalista was able to live blissfully in peace, away from the dangers of Hunters and Humans. She could wake up every morning without the fear her parents had held growing up. The family lived happily for the first thirteen years of her life. Every night, Asteria and Charon would tell Kalista of their past adventures, under the magical tree, Dodona. She could still remember the leaves rustling against the wind, as if it were whispering to her. Both of her parents believed Dodona to bring good fortune, so they took residence there. They would often explore the area, always making sure to stay within 10 miles of the tree. Kalista’s parents taught her how to hone her magical abilities, to transform into her human form, and most importantly, how to enjoy life. She was incredibly close with her parents and loved them dearly. She keeps these memories close and often dreams of the times she lived within the Fae realm. Shortly after Kalista had turned thirteen, Asteria and Charon had received news from an old friend. A castor, Yana, was nearing her end and wished to see them one last time. Yana had been one of the very few present at the birth of Kalista and was especially close with Asteria. They knew the risks of entering the human world. They hired two Guardians to escort the family to Yana’s residence. A powerful Ignis Witch, Stefan, also an old friend of Kalista’s family had willingly volunteered to help them. An Irish shifter, Conor, who had come in place of the family's close friend, Valon. Conor had trained under Valon, a powerful, Mezmer Guardian, and due to Valon's inability to leave Rome, the young pupil gladly volunteered to take his place. Transforming into their human forms, the family secretly set out to Yana’s estate. It had been the first time Kalista entered the human world. While she was curious about its existence, she preferred the seclusion and familiarly of her home. The group had travelled for two days and were on the outskirts of Russia before they were attacked. The Korikov family was well known for their malicious methods of murdering the supernaturals. Kalista’s family was well aware of their threat as they travelled. Despite the large amount of secrecy and planning that had gone into the journey, a Korikov couple and their son had managed to hunt them. They attacked in the middle of the night. Kalista’s remembers the event vividly. She watched as her parents were brutally murdered, watched as the older man sliced the magical horn off her mother’s head, watched as they continued striking her father tens, hundreds of times. They were smiling. She wasn’t able to move, even after Stefan firmly grabbed her shoulder, even after she heard a sharp scream escape from her own mouth. She couldn’t feel the heat of the flames Stefan created to border them from the Korikov family. Everything had gone numb. Kalista’s eyes stayed attached to the two individuals she loved more than anything. She watched their bodies slowly cease to move. She watched it at all. She remembered her eyes eventually meeting the young boy, his dark, colorless eyes swallowing her. He smiled as Stefan dragged her away. Kalista fell into unconsciousness shortly after. Kalista awoke several weeks later, in an entirely new world. Unsure what to do, Stefan had brought Kalista to a small town in Virginia, known as Nowhere, where he had spent several years of his life studying at Gringore Academy. He met with the headmaster in private, and begged for his help. Alfred immediately called in the Fae Advisor, Nala, and the academy’s own Unicorn, Arianwyn. The four swore to secrecy of Kalista’s identity and agreed that Nala would raise her. Death of Asteria and Charon soon circled around the world, and a great mourning shortly pursued. Kalista’s whereabouts became a mystery to all. Stefan claimed she disappeared when they were attacked, and eventually returned to his Guardian duties. He occasionally visits to check up on Kalista, but stays far out of sight. It took several months before Kalista was able to cope with her reality. Nightmares haunted her every moment, both awake and asleep. She hated herself for not having the strength to help her parents. She vowed to never transform into her Unicorn form until she had brought justice to her parents. A year passed before she was able to make it through the day without tears. Nala taught Kalista the ways of the world and helped her learn how to blend in with human society and avoid modern iron inventions. She changed her name to Kayley Sherwood and pretended to be a Maagia with Magic Immunity, to both keep her protected and blend in better. Kayley eventually came to trust Nala, but continued to keep her at a distance. When Kayley learned of Gringore Academy and the Guardians, she promised herself to work harder than anyone and become a Guardian who could protect those who needed help. No one would have to go through what she did ever. Until she came of age, Kayley busied herself studying supernatural creatures and getting her human body into shape. Three years after Kayley had been with Nala, Naida was brought to her home. A Merrow who had nowhere else to go. Kayley saw so much of herself in the girl and easily grew close to her. She helped her ease into the human world and quickly became protected of her. After a few years of adjusting to mundane life, the two eventually enrolled in Gringore Academy. Kayley quickly became one of the academy’s top students. Because of her vow to her parents, she studied, practiced, and worked harder than any of the other students. She is incredibly dedicated to becoming a powerful Guardian and bringing justice to her parents. Unlike Naida, Kayley is quite blunt, stubborn, and often viewed as rude during first impressions. She has no social skills and tends to keep conversations with others short. The only person she feels comfortable around and trusts completely is Naida.
