Secrets and Lies
Calistina was born to a normal elven mother and a drow father a few centuries ago. She inherited a dark complexion and his pure white hair while getting her beautiful blue eyes from her mother. Drow normally do not marry outside their race and bring down swift justice to those who violate this rule. This was the fate of Calistina's father and nearly her own. A gang of Drow broke into their home and dragged the family off. Her father was murdered before her eyes then she was stabbed in the leg and left to die with her mother in the burning remains of their home. Thankfully her mother was a very resourceful woman and managed to get them out but not before a burning beam landed on the young girl and scarred her leg. The two women lived in poverty before her mother developed a way of discovering secrets from men by using her charm. She soon gained a sizeable fortune with her secrets and joined the court, bringing her beautiful exotic daughter with her. They both kept her father's heritage a secret from all but Jareth, whom they told as a sign of trust and honesty. Calistina learned her mother's tricks of seducing men for secrets and information that she could later use to her advantage for money and favors. It was during one of these games of seduction that she accidentally got pregnant. Due to her ways she was unsure who the father could be.
The pregnancy went well and she had a handsome little boy. She named him Raguel after a human being known as an angel of justice. He was already a b*****d child; he could use all the justice he could get. He was dark skinned like her but lighter since he didn't have as much Drow blood as she did. However he had a rather violent streak and would constantly be getting into fights with the other boys. He would always claim he was defending her honor despite knowing what she did to put food on the table. Then Pirate Lord Caspian came to court for a visit to Jareth. She saw the twinkle in his eye and his elven blood called him to the sea. She forbid him from going and told him he was to be a gentleman of the court, not a scoundrel of the sea. Many fights followed as Caspian stayed until, the day he left, Raguel disappeared. Calistina was sick with worry, she knew he had boarded the pirate ship and was out at sea. For many months she waited for word from him, always hiding her worry and distress from anyone who asked. When he finally returned, he had been bitten by a shark. She was horrified and tried to make him stay again but he refused, saying his love was for the sea and his loyalty to Caspian. It was then she realized her son had become a man without her knowing, and she had only been holding him back. He left again, this time with the promise of writing to her, and Calistina returned to the court. She still collects secrets for those willing to pay, though Jareth usually gets them for free. |
