Appearance:
Callista Adair is, if seen, curiously clad in evening gowns. What is this strange vanity? She walks barefoot in these gowns, her hair usually loose but occassionally elaborately done. There is something disconcerting about the beautifully-dressed creature for, despite the care, there is no warmth or welcome in those cold blue eyes.

Now and again, she lays aside her finery for the most basic of oufits. Plain, fitted black or white fitted trousers and t-shirts with a long trenchcoat. There is usually something afoot when this is seen. Hell, there has to be something afoot if she's seen at all.

Callista is never without her charms. They are everywhere, shining, jingling softly in her wake. There are three of these bracelets wrapped around her left wrist, hanging bells and lockets and so forth. Another long charm necklace hangs around her neck, bedecked with little stars and leaves. The last are around her left ankle: two of these, finely-linked bracelets these are. The make or story of these charms has never been divulged to anyone.

Strengths:
Callista is mentally strong. She is used to relying on herself and has used that quiet time to develop rather commendable mental power. She is able to shield her thoughts from others and resist most forms of mind control.

She is naturally graceful and an exceptional dancer: as such, she is incredibly fast. Her quickness is the stuff of legends. One moment there, the next she is gone in the blink of an eye.

In addition, Callista has good linguistic abilities. She already speaks several languages and is adept at learning new ones. While this skill is not as useful when it comes to reading and writing in different languages, she is able to make out the gist of the text. Usually.

Weaknesses:
Callista doesn't know who made her a vampire. This is the cause of considerable distress and frustration for her. She has almost convinced herself that it does not really matter and tries to ignore the itch. But the truth is she scratches time and time again. She wants to know. So she can destroy who made her utterly. Often, this desire motivates her actions.

Due to her isolated, loner nature, she leaves herself vulnerable. She does not work well with groups and does not want to. These are dangerous times and being alone is not the brightest of ideas, but Callista cannot bring herself to change. Furthermore, being alone for long periods of time often leaves her out of the loop on enemy movements, etc.

Personality:
Callista Adair is struggling with her own identity and, as a result, is distant and elusive. Her loneliness is trumped only by her inability to trust anyone, especially her own kind. She has no intention of ever letting anyone in and, even if she wanted to, she isn't sure she'd know how to.

There is a viciousness lurking just beneath the surface, a darkness which goes deeper than just the need to drink blood. She knows no mercy, no tolerance, no forgiveness. She does not stalk victims, taking only those who are unfortunate enough to venture in her path. But these deaths are frequently drawn out, seldom clean or quick. Whatever inner demons Callista fights, she takes out on her victims. This violence is countered by her cool, collected demeanor. She is rarely ruffled. The very epitome of stateliness and class. Callista is cold to the core.

The flipside to this aspect of her character is the sudden, almost random kindness she is capable of showing. She has especial love for horses and will suffer no harm to come to the beasts. She has also been known to lead the lost or astray back to safety, or to spare the life of any being who strikes some chord within her.

Regardless of her anger and distance, there is something compelling about Callista: it is not only her beauty, but her considerable charisma. She can, when it suits her, turn the charm on and convince just about anyone to do whatever she wants. It's not often she suffers herself to communicate with people this way: she rarely needs anyone for anything at all. And when she does need someone to satisfy her more carnal desires it doesn't take much to convince them. She need only make the slightest sign that she's interested and they take their cues from there.


xo Warmth and Family
Family:
Her mother, Katherine, died when she was very small and she does not remember her at all. Her father, John, lived on long after Callista's transformation. She was outside the window the night he died and shed the first and only tear she ever cried since becoming immortal. She has no brothers or sisters that she knows of.
History:
Didn't Callista Adair have a bright future stretching about before her? She was young, she was talented, she was in the prime of her life. She lived with her father, a moderately well-known sculpter whose works decorated the lush green lawns of the wealthy. His works were perfection, usually depicting heroes and mythological characters from the past. The income he earned from selling these painstakingly-crafted pieces were enough to support both himself and his young, blonde daughter.

Callista was training to be a dancer. She knew she wasn't likely to become famous for it and she knew it would be a lifelong struggle for work. But she was dedicated and that made up for the lack of the x-factor which made her a good but not great performer.

Her love of dancing soon took her from home. She kissed her father goodbye and went to the city, leaving the provincial life behind. Getting work was even harder than she had thought. Callista longed to join an academy, to further improve her skills, but she did not have the funds necessary to allow that. She took on roles in low-budget musicals and performances and, when the chips were really down, was not adverse to dancing exotically. Callista was a fearless, determined young woman, unafraid of her sexuality and very aware of her own good looks and charisma. She knew how to use them to her greatest advantage.

After awhile, she began looking for more respectable work less and less. She earned good wages dancing on tables and wrapping her body around poles. She enjoyed it. And perhaps more than the dancing she enjoyed playing the flirting game with clients. She was unattainable, held aloft and longed for as an acolyte longs for his Goddess. Sex was her weapon and she wielded it with deadly accuracy.

And then, one day, it was suddenly over.

There was no warning to the end of her old life. One night, a few hours before dawn, she finished work early and was walking home to her apartment. She had the distinct impression she was being followed, but was never able to see anyone and wrote the feeling off as paranoia. In that moment, she was snatched into an alleyway and felt the most powerful and lethal kiss imaginable. She was drained to the point of death and given a new life - as a vampire.

And then left.

Who was the creature who took her life from her? Who had she offended, who had she captured the attention of to warrant such a curse? Whoever had done it deserted her and left her to learn all she could about her new form by herself. Long, difficult years lay ahead of Callista. She developed her inconquerable, solitary persona and sank into her own darkness. She will find who did this to her. She will find him if it kills her. He.... that's all she knows.
