Message: <blockquote data-quote="Semirhage" data-source="post: 362363" data-attributes="member: 938">BackgroundCallistae Ashandrii was raised in Waterdeep, though she was born in Evermeet. Her mother, the daughter of a powerful gold elven family, was disowned because she chose to marry Callistae's father, a cansin gold elf, of whom the conservative House disapproved. House Ashandrii, her father's house, an off-shoot clan that survived the fall of ancient Illefarn, has been present in some form or another over the course of millenia in many elven civilizations, but in order to strengthen their line, they resorted, much like the Daemonfey, to congress with outsiders. Many elves disapprove of such methods.In Waterdeep, however, Callistae and her family were readily accepted by the small and mostly transient elven population. The family has a villa in the best section of town, as well as a small estate to the southeast of Waterdeep. Her father has been successful at turning his various contacts into a small trading empire. He would not be unhappy if Callistae chose to follow in his footsteps. Her father makes money because he is very creative, though he spends it almost compulsively. Large, expensive gifts that have no use at all were common during Calli's childhood. Callistae felt the call towards music and magic very early in her life. Magic turned out to be a greater lure, but she never neglected her love of music. Recently, she has managed to combine the two. A bard's wandering lifestyle never suited her, as she loves cities, but as a clear virtuoso, at the top of her field, she delights in challenging bards who think they have the advantage. She is rather happy go-lucky. She's happy most of the time, though sometimes get angry when 'the rules' interfere with her fun. She genuinely likes most people, and has fun toying with them, tweaking their noses. Sometimes she has weird mood-swings, but not too often. For a wizard, she is sometimes flighty, but for a normal person, she can seem dedicated. Most of her experience has been around Waterdeep, though she is fairly well read. The farthest from home she has ever travelled is Silverymoon, and that was a flying carpet caravan engineered by her father. She was very sad to hear what had happened to Silverymoon.The prospect of travel is something she views with anticipation and some trepidation. She'd like to do it, but it seems like more effort than its worth. (Stats are being made.)</blockquote>
