Personal
Personality:
Calliope does her best to keep a calm, cool and collected persona, even in tense situations. However, she’s really quite anxious. She’s worried that energetic outbursts will result in her getting the wrong kind of attention. But she is also worried that her calm facade will work too well, causing her to fade into the background and go unnoticed by those around her. Calliope attempts to find a happy medium where she can participate in other people's lives without focusing enough attention on herself to get hurt in the process. Despite the distance she attempts to maintain, she craves the close friendships and connections that she doesn’t know how to make.

Bio:
Calliope’s father, Aput Nukilik, is an Inuk, born in northern Canada. He was the protégé of a shaman until a group of nomadic witches visited his town. He fell in love with a young witch who would become Calliope’s mother, Capria Solaera, and began traveling with her. Calliope grew up traveling with her family. She was homeschooled in academic subjects as well as her parents’ specialties.
Initially, Calliope didn’t show any magical prowess and Aput pounced on the opportunity to teach her what he’d learned about interacting with spirits as well as Inuit and shaman culture. She didn’t take to his teachings, but she did enjoy meditating and kept up the practice.
When Calliope was 10 years old, she began to read people in a way that was a bit beyond her years. This piqued Capria’s attention, and led her to train her daughter in divination magic. Capria’s hunch had been correct and she found that Calliope took after her in magic. For a little less than ten years, Calliope studied magic with her family on the road. She wasn’t extraordinarily talented and what magic she knew couldn’t quite be called divination, but her mother encouraged her to explore her powers at every opportunity.
In her teenage years, the Nukilik’s returned to Aput’s hometown where, after weeks of discussion, Aput elected to stay in order to help his town as its new Shaman. Calliope stayed with him for a few years while her mother continued to travel, learning to meditate and defend herself. In the following years, Capria returned and Calliope traveled with her, honing magic and medicinal practices. Her academic education was split between both parents.
When Calliope turned 21, she decided to travel on her own, maintaining correspondence with both of her parents. Before she left, she was gifted a satchel by one of the witches in her group. It had been enchanted to serve as a portal to a finite pocket dimension in order to serve as a "Bag of holding". Within the past year, Calliope has visited her father once. On this occasion she encountered a spirit in the form of a young arctic fox named Clerc, that formed an attachment to her. Calliope now travels the country with Clerc, living and learning as she goes.
She has recently come to Gelnvale by chance, and was captured by its charm and lore. She has no specific intentions in her travels. She intends to stay until she gets bored, or perhaps gets intrigued by some other town.
Profession/Occupation: Seasoned traveler. Specializes in Detection Magic.
Other
Calliope has a familiar: An arctic fox named Clerc. Usually, he’s more akin to a pet than a familiar. However Calliope has learned to use him as a spy, by commanding him to sneak into areas and stay hidden. Clerc will stay where Calliope asks him to and watch or listen, absorbing information. He will then return to Calliope, and she will use Mind Search to learn the information in Clerc’s recent memory.
When Clerc is not active, he resides in Calliope's magic satchel with the rest of her belongings.
Magic Abilities:
❇ Detect Magic - Calliope can tell where magic is being used, and of what variety. She can use it to appraise a magical item or help an ally identify a magic user. Unless magic has an overwhelming presence, it is not an instinctual sense. It requires energy to detect magic.
❇ Lie Detector - Calliope can naturally determine one’s intentions. She cannot use this power to tell exactly what someone is thinking. If someone were planning to rob a bank, for example, she wouldn’t know that. But she can use this power to tell if someone is lying or intends to do harm or good will to someone/something.
❇ Mind Search - Calliope is able to search a person’s mind for information. She can only search memories. Calliope cannot see someone’s thoughts or feelings. This power will only work if the person in question consents to Calliope searching their mind. Calliope cannot use this power on an unwilling subject. This power is not guaranteed to give Calliope accurate information. She reads memories, not as they actually happened, but as they are remembered. Recent memories are more likely to give Calliope reliable information. But if a memory is more distant and imperfect, as memories tend to be, Calliope will see the memory in its distorted form.
❇ Familiar Summon - Unlike many witches/wizards, Calliope cannot telepathically communicate with her familiar. Nor can she use magic to posses her familiar or see through its eyes. But she can dismiss Clerc to her satchel and summon him from it. If Clerc is "killed" so to speak, Calliope can recall him to take physical form again. However it takes a few minutes (3 turns/posts) to do so.
Strengths/Skills:
✩ Researching - Calliope has a knack for digging up information. Be it with the use of magic, eavesdropping, or hitting the books the old fashioned way.
✩ Level Headed - Calliope is almost always in a state of chiiiilllll. She can usually keep her cool under pressure.
✩ Does Sarcasm/Sass count? - ‘Cuz Calliope’s been practicing it.
✩ Administering First Aid - Calliope’s magic doesn’t have any medicinal capabilities, but she knows how to treat common wounds.

☢ Calliope cannot perform offensive or defensive magic. Magic serves little to no purpose in a fight for her.
☢ Calliope has trouble forming meaningful emotional connections.
☢ Calliope can’t resist a good prank.
☢ Calliope is insecure about both her social and magical skills.
