the appearance

[/color]
height & weight ; The first thing you notice about Caly's body is that their is no lack of it. She is defintely no petite little doll of a woman. She is for a woman fairly tall as she tops off at 5'11. She is also no light weight. Unlike many women she has absolutely no desire to be a stick with legs and arms. She enjoys her curves and is quite proud of her one hundred and thirty four pound frame. The woman is also notably curvy and she has them in all the right places. Her breasts aren't especially large, but as she says just enough to be interesting and she has a very generous and firm derrirer. Her frame is toned but not overly muscled, but it's fairly clear that Caly takes very good care of her body.

hair ; Caly's hair is a dirty blonde that leans more to blonde than brown thanks to her habit of being in the sun quite a bit. She has always kept it long as she feel short hair is far to masculine. Her hair generally has a well maintained if not coifed look. It's obvious that she cares for it, but only doesn't spend a lot of time on it. She genereally prefers to wear it the way it natrually falls which is gently wavy. She will wear her hair up for special occasions and has a habit of pinning it back when she is working with her plants.

eyes ; Caly's eyes really should be one of the most notable things about her however thanks to her body and the way she often has her eyes narrowed in a variety of emotions Caly's eyes can be overlooked. Despite this they are however defintely worth a bit of notice. Her eyes are almond shape blue bedroom eyes. Surrounding these eyes is a generous helping of thick, long, and fairly dramatic eyelashes.

facial features ; Caly's realtionship with a good portion of her family is very rocky and she's not very happy to be related to a lot of them, but she defintely has them to thank for good genetics. She like the rest of her family was born with naturally good looks. Her face is what one would normall consider very classic and clean cut. Her nose is nearly perfectly aquiline except it's graced with a little bump that while it is an imperfection tends to make her a little more approachable. She has high prominent cheeks bones and a fairly strong chin. Her face borders on the severe however her lips save her from that as they soften the harsher lines of her face.

distinguishing features ; Caly is on her own distinguishing enough, but she doesn't lay claim to many distinguishing mark. She personally would never get any tattoos as they are far to permanent and has only gotten the most common of peiercings. She has one hole in each lobe of her ear. Her hands aren't scarred, but they are lightly calloused thanks to her work in her gardens and in the green house. She is generally scar free thanks to her own caution and a slew of natural remedies that help reduce the visiblity of scars however she does have one fairly noticeable collection of scars around her ankles and the tops of her feet. These scars are a result of the various thorned plants in her garden and the fact that she doesn't wear shoes when she can get away with it.

style ; Caly has two distinctive styles of dress. Her first style is meant only for herself. Away from prying eyes the woman tends to prefer a more natural look and sticks to simple things. She feels most comfortable in simple loose clothes her favorite being loose flowy gypsy like skirts and peasant blouses. This look is almost always accompanied with bare feet and minimal make up. Her second style is the one meant for public consumption. If one wishes to be succesful one must project a certain image. This image is most certainly one that has nothing to do with the natural. This look tends to fluctuate with current fashion trends and fads. She will often wear whatever if popular and not ridiclously uncomfortable.

Her public appearance also tends to fluctuate for whatever she's trying to accomplish. If she attends a business meeting her style will be business chic. If she's trying to catch the attention of a certain person she will dress in whatever manner she thinks will suit them best. The only constant in her public wardrobe is the fact that she will always play up the fact that she is indeed attractive. It may not be blatantly obvious, but there will always be some little details that reminds everyone that she is a beautiful woman. Well that and high heels as she knows they make her already long legs look even better.

the personality[/color]
likes ;

HEALTHY LIVING[/u] Caly believes very strongly that one's body is one's most important investment. And just like any investment one shouldn't neglect it. She is one of those people that whole heartedly likes taking care of her body. She enjoys eating healthy not only because it helps your apperance, but a healthy diet leads to a healthy and energetic life style. She enjoys excercise and is known to try to coerece her friends and such into excercising with her. Running is one of her favorite activities. She is also a vegetarian since dead meat is not only gruesome, but unhealthy.

PLANTS[/u] Calypso is named for a sea goddess which is ironic since she isn't actually a big fan of the ocean or any large body of water for that matter. If her mother had wished to be acurate with her naming she would have dubbed her something like Demeter. Caly has a strong affinity with plants. She is often impatient with people and has little tolerance for people, but she treats her plants like precious children. She will spend hours and hours in her garden and green house tending her various plans. She is also extremely protective of them there is no better way to piss her off than to step on one of her precious plants. She finds the work of gardening to be an almost zen expereince.

SECURITY[/u] When Caly says that she values Security she does not mean tough looking men with uniform jackets and ear buds. Physical security is a nice bonus of course however what she really means in a social and financial security. There is very little she wants or enjoys more than the certainty that no matter what happens she will not have to worry about little things like being able to eat and having a roof over ones head. She likes not having to worry or plan.

PIZZA[/u] Caly is pretty much a health nut, however even the most die hard health nut always seems to have at least one unhealthy obession. Calypso isn't much for sweets other than fruit of course, but she's a huge fan of Pizza. She loves just about everything about it and anyone that knows her when she gets particularly bitchy the best cure is a nice big veggie supreme pizza. She also likes that as unhealthy foods go one can adjust a pizza enough to make it less than horrid for you without sacrificing the flavor.

ANTIQUING[/u] Caly is one of those rare women that really doesn't enjoy shopping all that much. Usually she only shops when she absolutely must, the one exception to this behavior is antiquing. She loves antiques and she loves spending hours looking for the perfect little piece even more. She's been known to wonder from antique store to antique for hours just looking. She enjoys the whole expereince even if she does walk away without buying a single piece.

dislikes ;

SLOBS[/u] The woman is no stranger to getting her hands dirty since she does love spending time with her plants, but she still hates messy people. Dirt has it's place and that's outside or in a potted plant. She is equally picky about things being put back in their place. An unorganized space means an unorganized mind. Slobbishness if to her a sure sign of incompetence. She also believes it's only common decency to make sure when you leave an area you leave it as it came in. An unmade bed is of course one of her biggest pet peeves, but people who track in mud are an even bigger pet peeve.

POOR PEOPLE[/u] If there is anything in the world worse than a muggle it's a poor person. Caly sees being poor as a personal failing. If you don't have money it's because you don't have the fire to get it that or they are incredibly lazy. She has very little tolerance for poor people she has no desire to see them or deal with them at all. They are of no use or consequence so she sees no reason to allow them to waste any of her time. The homeless and beggars are of course the absolute worst sort of people and she has gotten in trouble a time or two for hexing a beggar or two.

WASTING TIME[/u] Caly is a woman who makes the most of her time. She hates sitting back and doing nothing. She will very rarely waste time. Even her leisure activities tend to have a point. Her antiques are of course good investments, the few parties and events she does attend she goes to with the intention of networking and establishing connections. Even when going out for a night on the town finding a respectable man to marry is at the back of her mind. She feels wasting time is not only lazy, but a sure way to lead yourself into the poor house.

WASTE[/u] Waste not want not is a proverb that Caly has seriously taken to heart. And she takes it very seriously and applies it to almost all parts of her life. She doesn't throw anything away that could have some other use. All the scraps from her and her sisters kitchens are used for compost. She does her best to reuse the items she buys and gives them many uses. She doesn't like to throw much away unless it is completely and totally useless. People who are wasteful irritate her greatly. She pretty much views a wasteful lifestyle as just throwing money out the window.

GOSSIP[/u] If there is one habit most women partake in that Caly hates above most it's gossip. With a few rare exceptions she finds gossip to be both detrimental and a gigantic waste of time. Very rarely does anything good come out of gossip as it's rarely based on any actual fact. There is always something more useful and or productive that one can do. The only time Caly will indulge in gossip is when she is schomoozing with someone who could be beneficial to her future.

strengths ;

PRACTICAL[/u] As a woman with very few illusions about the world Caly is capable of being very practical. She will do whatever she needs to to accomplish her goal as quickly and as easily as she can. She won't let little things like moral or squeamishness keep her from doing whatever is best. Nor will she let more important things like her pride or vanity get in the way. What she wants and needs will always be more important than what she has to do to get it. She has no problem resorting to violence, bribery, sex, and others things to accomplish whatever she wants to get done.

FLEXIBLE[/u] When one uses the word flexible to describe Caly one actually is talking mentally. She of course thanks to her vigourous excercise program is quite physically flexible, but her ability to stretch mentally is much more important. Of course Caly isn't one who changes her mind often once a decision is made it is made, but she is very good at adapting. If one plan doesn't work out she is almost always ready to try a new plan. She is generally inflexible with her ideas and such, but to get what she wants Caly is always ready to bend and go with the flow if needed.

GROUNDED[/u] Caly craves security to not have to worry about the future and she does have lofty goals. However the woman is still quiet in touch with reality. She doesn't let her lofty goals go to her head and influence her behavior. Her feet are most defintely on the ground and her head is out of the clouds. She doesn't try to act as if she is more important than she really is and she's realistic enough to realize she has a long way to go before she gets where she would like to be.

weaknesses ;

PROUD[/u] Pride is of course one of the seven deadly muggle sins, but Caly doesn't know this and if she did she wouldn't care. She is a proud woman and she is ok with that. Her pride doesn't always get in the way or at least not when she's trying to accomplish something, but her pride can make her personal life a little difficult especially with her family. She will rarely admit a mistake and will almost never apologize. Her pride will also often set her temper off fairly quickly.

STUBBORN[/u] When Caly makes a decision and it is made and it is very unlikely that she will change that decision. Once she decides she is right it's nearly impossible to convince her other wise. One can occasionaly coax the woman into changing her mind, but it would take a ridiclous amount of work. She hates changing her mind almost as much as she hates being wrong. She genreally considers changing ones mind as a sign of weakness. This can at times lead her to stick with decisions that she really shouldn't have which can cause a few problems.

SHARP TONGUE[/u] Caly can be very pleasant when she puts an effort into it. However left to her own devices she can be quiet abrasive. She has a habit of not sugar coating anything she says as she feels sugar coating is just another way to waste time and she has better things to do than pussyfoot around the simple truth. She also has no problem telling most individiuals their every character flaw. The only exception to this is again people she beleives could help her reach her goals.

MAGIC[/u] The weakness that she is probably most aware of and most resentful about is her magic. She unlike most wizard children was not allowed to attend a proper wizarding school and was instead taught by her aunt. Her aunt was of course in her own right a hell of a potioneer, but practically useless when in came to magic. So Caly despite her best attempts will always rank much lower than most people when it comes to magic. She can dance, she was taught how to use her body as a weapon of seduction, she can run circles around most wizards with her herbology knowledge, but even the average seveth year out of Hogwarts would probably be better with wand work than she is.

boggart ; Being homeless, penniless, and alone. The idea of losing everything she's worked for and schemed towards is the worst possible fate Caly can imagine.
amortentia ; Lemon zest, mint, freshly tilled soil, and clove
erised ; Most people think Caly is the sort who wants it all, but really she wants very little more than to have an established and stable family life.
veritaserum ; what is your character's deepest secret?
dementor ; what is your character's worst memory?
patronus ; what is your character's happiest memory? and what form would their patronus take? please remember that mastering of the patronus charm is advanced magic and not likely to be learned until after O.W.L.s are taken. also note that not every witch or wizard can produce a corporeal patronus

personality ; Caly is first and foremost a very driven woman. Nothing and she does mean nothing will keep her from achieving what she wants in life. She is exactly the sort of woman who will do anything neccesary to assure that she has a secure and comfortable future. She will lie, cheat, seduce, and harm her way to secuirty if she must. There is nothing she wants more than the safty and comfort of knowing that her future is secure. She is also ruthless about her future she will let no one stand in her way and she will without a hint of remorse tear down anyone who tries.

The woman however isn't especially greedy. She doesn't care if her secure future takes place in a lavish mansion or a small but comfortable cottage. All she really wants is peace of mind to know that she will never go without something she needs. That she will not wind up penniless and destitute. Another integral part of what she considers security is actual physical safety. She is painfully aware of the fact that her magic is not up to scratch with that of the average wizard and that means she's vulnerable, so she considers finding a man capable of protecting her and her carefully built success.

Caly is over all a fairly reserved woman she neither feels or shows emotion easily. It takes a lot to invoke emotion out of Caly. More often than not she approaches life with a mostly detached air as if the word is little more than a word problem. This often makes her seem a little cold which more often than not is true. There are only a handful of people that she acts even slightly warm to. Those people are her siblings, a few people just just genuinely likes, and the people who she believes may be of use. She of course takes the protection of those people very seriously she will not hesitate to hurt anyone who threatens her people.

Caly is also more than a little territorial. She's not the best sharer in the world. She regards what is her as her and is reluctant to share those things with anyone else. The only exception to this rule is of course her home which she shares with her sisters. To be honest if she didn't think her sister would always be in trouble if she lived elsewhere she would probably prefer to live on her own. Bothering with her things is a good way to get her temper flaring.
