= Personality =
Overall Calliope has a pretty well rounded personality. At times she can be a bit impulsive which can lead to bad decisions, but she is also ambitious to become a better person which can help her stop and think before making decisions. She is adaptable to many things in her life which give her a leg up, but her being stubborn to accepting things can ruin her adaptability. Callie is emotional and hotheaded, often making the people around her annoyed. The truth is that she was never taught how to control her emotions by her parents, she knows that it is a bad trait of hers and will try her best to not have outbursts. Calliope is also quite persuasive, she will do almost anything to win an argument, only the most stubborn will not be swayed by her manipulative words. She is Regretful too, which stems from her childhood and not saying goodbye to her brother, Archie, and her parents. Callie is also a traitor to most other than the ones she loves most. She tries her best to not get attached to others, so any that get attached to her may feel hurt by her traitorous personality and deeds.

~Positive~
[Confident][Ambitious][Curious][Adaptable]
Of the positive traits Calliope has, the one that most tend to notice is how she is adaptable, which is even shown through how she loses fur during the summer. She has always been good at being confident, curious, and ambitious too. She wants to learn and get better at what she does, and her personality helps her along with that.


~Neutral~
[Emotional][Persuasive][Regretful][Obsessive]
Calliope's neural traits are being emotional, persuasive, regretful, and obsessive. Her being emotional can be both good and bad depending what she’s emotional about. Also like being emotional, being persuasive can help her do both good and bad depending what her intentions are. Her regret comes from her past and not trying to make it work at the Falconry Village. Her obsessiveness comes from her being emotional, which makes her obsess over things

~Negative~
[Stubborn][Impulsive][Frivolous][Rebellious][Traitor][Hotheaded]
Calliope is well known for her anger, she can easily go from zero to ten if you say something that really ticks her off. There are not many things that do tick her off; however when you do hit the right spot you're in for the long run. She can also be impulsive and stubborn making her seem quite self-centered even though she does care a lot about others.



= History=
CW: Suicide/Self Harm
As a young pup Calliope was often repressed of her creative freedom, she loved to sing and draw; however, the inhabitants of Falconry village weren’t as fond of her joyousness. They often told her to go away and shut up and weren’t approving of her art and music. One instance especially made Calliope snap. She was down by the swamp doing her thing when her dad tracked her down and told her to stop singing, and that everyone could hear her. She knew that the swamp was far away enough so no one could hear her. She started to feel embarrassment and disappointment to her parents. They were always shunning her, just like the other members of Falconry Village. This made her feel like the only friends she had were occasionally her brothers and nature. As time passed she grew more and more loving of nature and the things she learned there. Her relationship with her brothers remained good until Griffith started to push her into becoming a falconer. Then she and Griffith grew apart, and slowly she and Archie grew apart too. Eventually Griffith would try to help her find her first falcon on the Cliffs of Estregis. It is here Calliope strays from her brothers and becomes a free spirit.

=Calliopes POV=
I can’t believe mom and dad are making me do this! I said to myself exasperated that she wouldn’t listen to me. I trod alongside my two older brothers that were hellbent on making sure I was okay. Birth order in my family determined whether you were the leader or not, and I was the youngest. Despite being the youngest I could stand up for myself pretty well, my brothers were protecting me from myself. We were headed to the Cliffs of Estregis where there had recently been a lot of bird sightings, and a lot of cliff jumping. We all stopped when we reached the end of a riverbed. The water was gushing over the rocks. It looked fairly easy to cross so I waded in admiring how the light danced on the surface. Griffith out of nowhere splashed me drenching my fur. I splashed him back but hit Archie. A bit of chaos ensued, after all of the fun was done we stood panting at the other riverbed.
A day later we were climbing up the cliffs. I was smiling thinking back on how fun the river was. Griffith was gone looking for some food so it was just me and Archie. I was looking over the cliffs when he came up behind me and said “you shouldn’t get too close”. Boo hoo I said back at him, he looked sad, “I wouldn’t joke about that” he said. It was here where he confessed how he loved a beautiful she-wolf who once ventured here and jumped. He continued saying “I think she loved me too, not now I can never be for sure” when Griffith returned. That night around the campfire Archie looked happy. It made me happy too, I went over to him and snuggled up nudging my head into his thick fur. We all watched the fire blaze together and I slowly fell asleep.

The next morning Archie was gone, Griffith and I looked at each other and knew that it was not coincidental. “I overheard you guys last night” Griffith said looking down at his paws “I knew something was up with him, but I didn’t exactly know what. I wish I could’ve been better to him.” Griffith looked back up at me and shifted his stance “I can help you though, go to Ketta Village, they’ll be more accepting of what you want there.” Griffith and I parted ways at noon. He agreed to tell mom and dad that both Archie and I had died in an avalanche while climbing.

I started the journey south to Ketta Village, it was a long way there but the warm summer made it better. Just as the cold was starting to set in I reached the main road by twilight I was in the village. A voice singing from a bar told me I was in the right place. I settled down to rest finally feeling at home. I’m going to start a new life once I wake up, I thought to myself as my eyelids drooped and I fell into a deep slumber.

The next few weeks went by quickly. I was finally doing what I wanted as a singer and artist. Still something felt off, as winter got colder and colder I realized that I longed to explore. Nature, after all, was what my art was inspired by. I was contemplating how I would explore when I passed a sign that read “traveling traders needed.” The sign stuck with me, I knew I wanted to travel still but I didn’t know what I would do about my art. Then it hit me, I could go be a traveling trader that helped teach others about art and anything else I know. That night I slept sound, although it was a little different from what my family had thought I would be doing, it was what I needed and wanted.
