Physical Description
Cali is a tall, willowy woman who hasn't seemed to quite realize that she's allowed to grow out of the "gangly" phase of her teen years. Though she is no longer clutzy and awkward the way she was as a girl, she still carries herself with the kind of careful deliberation born of years spent knocking one's knees and elbows into things constantly.

Her hair is often frizzy, ginger red and typically left loose around her face. A pair of half moon spectacles is always perched on the edge of her nose—though her nose is so small that they're frequently slipping down. Behind the glasses her eyes are soft gray-green, with an observant gleam that never seems to entirely fade.

Personality
Much like her apparent physical belief that she is still awkward and not yet grown into herself, Cali also retains much of the shy and stuttering nature of the younger woman she once was who always found it difficult to forge connections with other people.

She is a sweetheart, but an awkward one, and often finds herself putting her foot in her mouth.

Magic/Abilities
A witch of moderate power, Caliope mostly uses her earth affinity when working in her garden, or sometimes to encourage medicinal plants to bloom more frequently, etc.

She also has a rather strong "knack" with animals; though not a beastspeaker, she seems to almost be able to communicate with most furred or feathered creatures anyway. They take a liking to her, anyhow, and it's easier for her to coax an animal into doing something it may not necessarily be naturally inclined to do than it is for her to hold a lengthy conversation with another human.

Relationships
The people of the village of La'marri

History
Cali was raised in La'marri after her dying mother left her with her uncle, a cobbler. Her life was actually rather mundane, for the most part; she managed to add a little to her uncle's income by training and raising village animals (hunting dogs and hawks, horses, mousing cats, etc.).

When she turned sixteen and her uncle decided she should get a place of her own-- "Spread your wings, a bit"—she bought a small shop towards the center of town and decided to try to sell her services more professionally.

When a trader came through with an exotic new animal from Yoreiq, Cali immediately knew the creatures would be sold off without proper care. She bought the lot of them, and spent months studying what little was known about the tiny dragons to ensure they could be placed in loving, happy homes.

Quite without meaning to, she became the mainland expert on the creatures, and soon enough her little shop was booming with adoptions requests from just about everywhere. She doesn't actually intend to keep adopting out the little creatures, but the occasional trader from Yoreiq will pass through with more, and she can't just leave them.
