If you look closer you’ll also notice she has quite a bit of scaring over the rest of her body including lashing marks across her back from being whipped in prison.[/indent] [color=#8D3B72]Clothing Preferences[/color] [indent]Most often when people see her in the castle she’s dressed comfortably in dark clothing. Usually a slightly tighter fitting top, dark pants, and dark comfortable boots. Kalliope, however, actually has a love for fashion and clothing. If you were to visit her apartment within the castle and look in her closet you’d find it’s filled with fine dresses and other clothing that’s in style currently. She also has clothing from Caesonia, Varian, and even Alidasht as she likes to where what she wants when she wants and when the mood strikes her.[/indent] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center] [h3][b][color=#ACFCD9]Psychology[/color][/b][/h3] [table][row][cell] [color=#8D3B72]Likes:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Books [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Music, especially playing the piano and singing [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Fashion, clothing, and jewelry [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Sweets, sweets, and more sweets [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Her swords [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Nighttime [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Her own space [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Alcohol of all types [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Parties [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Sunshine[/list][/indent] [color=#8D3B72]Dislikes:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] People disturbing her when she reads [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Prying people [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] People that chew loudly [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] People that underestimate her [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Edin, but she tolerates his idiocy [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Not having time for herself [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Apples[/list][/indent] [color=#8D3B72]Sexuality:[/color] [indent]Heteroflexible[/indent] [color=#8D3B72]Hobbies:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Reading [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Singing [color=#B6C649]☪[/color] Shopping[/list][/indent] [color=#8D3B72]Life Goals/Dreams:[/color] [indent]Shh it’s a secret.[/indent][/cell] [cell][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100636746015854642/2023-04-25_21_15_57.519-0700.jpg[/img][/cell][/row][/table] [color=#8D3B72]Personality Summary:[/color] [indent]Kalliope is a complex and multifaceted individual, shaped by her past experiences. She is driven by a fierce determination to reach her life goals, and this drive fuels her every action. She is confident in her abilities and is not afraid to take risks or challenge authority when she sees fit. Despite her many talents, Kalliope can be quite conceited at times. She takes pride in her many abilities and is not afraid to show it. She enjoys being admired and praised for her skills, and sometimes has a tendency to show off or boast about her accomplishments. Kalliope's confidence often manifests as a sarcastic and slightly vulgar sense of humor. She has a quick wit and is not afraid to make biting comments or crude jokes when the occasion calls for it. This can sometimes rub people the wrong way, but Kalliope doesn't mind – she knows that she is more than capable of handling herself in any situation. Beneath her tough exterior, Kalliope has a caring and protective side, especially towards those she cares about. She can be fiercely loyal to those who earn her trust, and will go to great lengths to protect them from harm. One of Kalliope's defining traits is her secrecy. She is very guarded and does not reveal much about herself or her past to others, preferring to keep her true thoughts and feelings hidden. This can make it difficult for others to get close to her, but those who do earn her trust will find a fiercely loyal friend and ally in Kalliope.[/indent] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center] [h3][b][color=#ACFCD9]Background[/color][/b][/h3] [table][row][cell][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100636894406135829/FaceApp_1682482313553.jpg[/img][/cell] [cell][color=#8D3B72]Current occupation:[/color] [indent]Works for King Edin, don’t ask questions[/indent] [color=#8D3B72]Any past occupations?:[/color] [indent]Nosy aren’t we?

If people were to ask her about herself she often informs them that she was adopted and raised in Alidasht by a man who was paranoid and ran the underbelly of Genasea. From a young age she was taught how to fight, sneak around, steal, and basically do anything her father asked of her. She didn’t have a childhood that many would admire, if she messed up or acted against her fathers wishes then she was punished severely. This only served to make her more defiant of him, but she did know her limits…usually. At one point as a young teenager she got to meet and befriend some of the Alidashtian royals, even growing closer to a few. She supposedly was helping the Grand Vizier with some things and was just another of his servants for a bit. This lasted for a few years until she was 17 years old and she decided she didn’t enjoy doing her father’s bidding and wished to leave. She informed him that she was using the money she’d made over the years to buy her freedom from him, something he often held over her head, but she was not met favorably. He was furious with her, but finally told her if she did one last job for him she would be free to go. She agreed reluctantly and soon was off to complete this last job. Things went south quickly and she soon found out she’d been framed for the murder of someone near and dear to her. She found his body there, the building on fire, and guards soon surrounding her as she sat over the body in disbelief. She was arrested and found her father there smirking at her. His last words to her were “Perhaps this lesson will teach you to disobey me.” She was then sent to one of the most ruthless and highest security prisons in all of Alidasht, a pit mine many never made it out of. Heartbroken and furious, she was led through the mines as they explained what she was to do there. She saw starving, sick people who’s spirits were completely broken. The sight only served to break her more, especially when some of the prisoners were even children. Could the Sultan actually know of the conditions here? He didn’t seem like the kind to allow this, could he? She felt sick and she decided she couldn’t live like this. Before the guards knew what was happening, Kalliope had grabbed a pickaxe and she attempted her escape. She killed seven men before she was shot with an arrow and stopped. They didn’t let her die, keeping her alive and making her suffer. She was whipped severely after that and proceeded to spend the next five years there until a little prince decided to free her. It seemed rumors of her feat in prison had reached a young prince in Caesonia just in time for a special competition the King was holding. Each noble was allowed to present one champion to compete in a series of games. Whoever won would be awarded riches and be gifted a place to live on the palace grounds. They would work for King Edin in a special position and be viewed as almost a lesser noble. Knowing the king would be horrified a criminal was in the competition, let alone that she was a woman, Prince Callum named Kalliope as his champion and she went on to compete. She won, of course, and now has been working for Edin and living in the castle for the last two years. She is often gone, however, as Edin sends her many places for…diplomatic matters.[/indent] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center] [hider=Questionnaire][center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center] [h3][b][color=#ACFCD9]History[/color][/b][/h3] Did you grow up nurtured or neglected? [color=#8D3B72]Well, I certainly wasn't nurtured. My 'father' was a paranoid criminal who only taught me skills that would be useful to him. And don't even get me started on the conditions in that prison. Neglected would be an improvement.[/color] When you were upset, where was your sanctuary? [color=#8D3B72]My sanctuary? Ha! When I was upset, I didn't have the luxury of a sanctuary. I had to toughen up and deal with my problems head-on. There was no one to turn to, no place to hide. But if you're asking where I go to blow off steam now, it's usually the training grounds or a good old-fashioned brawl in a tavern. Or maybe it’s getting lost in a good book in my room while eating a bunch of sweets. Or shopping! And maybe parties with Callum and Anastasia.[/color] What were you like in your teenage years? [color=#8D3B72]In my teenage years, I was a bit of a rebel. I didn't like being told what to do and I often acted out against my father's wishes. But I was also very good at keeping secrets and was loyal to those who were close to me. It wasn't until I was thrown into prison that I truly learned the value of true freedom.[/color] How close are you to your parents? [color=#8D3B72]Parents? What parents? I was raised by a paranoid maniac who ran the criminal underworld, if you can even call that parenting. So no, I'm not exactly close to my 'parents' or anyone else for that matter.[/color] Do you have any trauma that haunts you? [color=#8D3B72][i]pauses for a moment, looking away as if lost in thought[/i] Haunts me? No, I wouldn't say it haunts me. But I carry the weight of my past with me every day, and it's shaped who I am now. The years I spent in that pit mine, seeing the suffering of those people, it's not something I can forget. And the betrayal of someone close to me, leading to my imprisonment... it's not easy to trust anyone after that. But I wouldn't say it haunts me. I've learned to live with it, and I've learned to use it to my advantage.[/color] What advice would you give your younger self? [color=#8D3B72]Trust your instincts, little girl, and don’t let fear hold you back. Also seek out trustworthy friends and allies to help you when times get tough…or manipulate them to owe you in the future when you call on them.[/color] Were you an obedient child or defiant? [color=#8D3B72]Oh honey, let's just say that obedience wasn't exactly my strong suit. I was always a bit of a rebel and never liked being told what to do. That's probably why I ended up in prison for a while there. But hey, it all worked out in the end, didn't it? I guess I really haven’t changed much either. [i]smirks as she crosses her arms and leans back into the chair, placing her feet up on the table[/i][/color] What is your biggest regret? [color=#8D3B72][i]face hardening some, she all but glares at the interviewer[/i] Next question.[/color] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center] [h3][b][color=#ACFCD9]Romance[/color][/b][/h3] Have you ever been in love? [color=#8D3B72]Oh, you mean that warm and fuzzy feeling that makes you want to do stupid things and throw all logic out the window? No thanks, I'll pass. Love is overrated and just another way for people to get hurt.[/color] What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner. [color=#8D3B72]Oh, so we’re keeping with these questions? Brave soul. Well, they gotta be able to handle my attitude and not be intimidated by a woman who can handle herself. They should also be good in bed, obviously. Oh, and they gotta have some serious coin. I'm not about to settle for some broke loser.[/color] How do you display affection? What is your love language? [color=#8D3B72]Oh please, do I look like a touchy-feely kind of person? My love language is called 'mind your own damn business and don't fucking touch me unless I ask you to.' But seriously, I don't really show affection that much, except maybe with a well-placed insult or a punch to the arm. You gotta earn my affection, and most people don't even come close.[/color] Have you had your first kiss? What was it like? [color=#8D3B72]Oh, my dear, sweet summer child. Of course, I've had my first kiss. It was like eating a really delicious piece of chocolate cake, but with more tongue involved. Ah, those were the days.[/color] Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? [color=#8D3B72]Love at first sight? Please! That's just your eyes getting ahead of your brain. Sure, physical attraction is a real thing, but real love takes time to develop. You gotta get to know the person, see if you're compatible, if you can put up with their quirks and they can put up with yours. So no, I don't believe in love at first sight. But hey, if it works for some people, good for them.[/color] What does marriage mean to you? [color=#8D3B72]Marriage? Hm, I don't know. The idea of being tied down to just one person for the rest of my life seems a bit suffocating. But who knows, maybe I'll meet someone who changes my mind. For now, I'm just enjoying the single life and not worrying too much about it.[/color] Are you currently crushing on anyone? [color=#8D3B72]So goddamn nosy, are you done yet?[/color] (open for plotting) Do you ever consider having children in the future? [color=#8D3B72]Well, honey, I'm not even sure I'll make it to tomorrow, let alone think about children in the future. Besides, do I look like the maternal type to you? But hey, who knows what the future holds, right?[/color] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center] [h3][b][color=#ACFCD9]Personality[/color][/b][/h3] Describe your ideal Sunday morning: [color=#8D3B72]My ideal Sunday morning? Well, first of all, it has to start with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. I love to curl up in my favorite armchair and get lost in a good story. After that, I would love to head out for some shopping. There's nothing like browsing through the stores and finding some great deals. Of course, I would need to stop for some sweets along the way, maybe a nice cupcake or some ice cream. And then, in the afternoon, I would love to attend a fabulous party, dressed up in my favorite fashion. So, basically, my ideal Sunday morning involves books, sweets, shopping, fashion, and parties – all the things I love!.[/color] What kind of person do you aspire to be? [color=#8D3B72]I don't like to reveal too much about myself or my aspirations. Let's just say that I have big plans for the future, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them.[/color] What bad habits do you have? [color=#8D3B72]Honey, I'm perfect in every way. But if I had to pick something, it would be that I tend to indulge in too much sugar and sometimes stay up way too late reading.[/color] If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be? [color=#8D3B72]Oh, you know, everyone has things they wish they could change. But I prefer to focus on the present and the future, rather than dwelling on the past.[/color] What is your greatest fear? [color=#8D3B72]Oh, you know, just the usual stuff. Spiders, heights, the dark, commitment, and running out of chocolate. Nothing too crazy, right?[/color] What are your pet peeves? [color=#8D3B72]Oh, just a few things. People who don't know how to use their brains, loud chewers, and anyone who tries to talk to me before I've had my morning coffee. Nothing major, you know? Oh! And people who try to pry into my personal life. [i]a deadly smirk plays on her lips as she stares the nervous interviewer down[/i][/color] When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others? [color=#8D3B72]When I'm in a sour mood, I prefer to be alone. I find that time to myself helps me clear my head and work through whatever is bothering me.[/color] Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue? [color=#8D3B72][i]ponders for a moment[/i] Both? Both. Both is good.[/color] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1064772112633569330/1100627858638000148/Banner.png[/img][/center][/hider][/color][/hider]
