Orlaith, leaning against the wall of the library, looked up from the text she had stopped on her way out to send, mouth turning down into a frown. “I’m not lurking, I’m sending—” She broke off, wondering, suddenly, why she had to justify herself to anyone, least of all a stranger. “I’m not lurking,” she repeated instead. “You seem jumpy.” And she was right to be, in this city. 

Maybe Calliope shouldn't have gotten so defensive so quickly, but she was feeling nervous and went into defensive mode right away, not thinking that some people were just hanging around; she was just in a hurry to get home. “Sorry. I 'm just a little on edge," she said as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder. "I just don't like being out at night in this city."

It was hardly the first time she had been alone in fae territory — it’s not like they tended to chaperone her in and out when they called on her — and generally she loved it here. She sometimes wished she’d been born fae, so that she could enjoy this place all the time. And yet, as darkness fell, she started to feel nervous. She didn’t know why because she could hardly get tricked into another contract… could she? Holy Poseidon, what if she actually could be under two at once? It was bad enough with one, never feeling like she would truly be free again and now her mind was plagued with concerns about it happening again.

She hadn’t really noticed that she had stopped walking until the person coming out of the library was startled. “Oh,” she breathed. “Sorry for scaring you. I was on my way home.” And taking her sweet time about it while the ethereum still flowed through her veins.

"It's fine," Calliope said to the other woman, taking another deep breath in and out. "I'm just a little tense." She didn't get a bad vibe from the other woman, but she kept her distance because you never know what someone is hiding. Normally, she wouldn't be in Old Elysia at this time, but it wasn't the first time this had happened, and it wasn't likely to be the last. She didn't expect anyone to bother her, but you can never be too careful, right? 

"I was doing the same thing. I'm on my way to the train station," she said, adjusting her bag on her shoulder and smiling slightly at the other woman; Calliope noticed something odd about the other woman but couldn't quite put her finger on it for the time being.

CALLIOPE MAY HARPER 

“i keep going to the river to pray / 'cause I need something that can wash out the pain / and at most / i'm sleeping all these demons away / but your ghost, the ghost of you / it keeps me awake”

001

Calliope is half banshee / half human on her mother’s side of the family. Her mother is not a banshee; the gene had skipped a generation, resulting in Calliope inheriting the gene.

002

Calliope enjoys reading, which is one of the reasons she became a librarian, and will spend any spare moment doing so, which is why she is always carrying a book with her. She enjoys most book genres, but her favourites are young adult, crime, and fantasy.

003

Calliope enjoys going for walks, particularly in a park or on a beach where she can hear the wind or the sound of the ocean’s waves crashing against the cliffs. She enjoys sitting on the swings for a few moments, feeling the sand between her toes, and closing her eyes to forget about the rest of the world.

004

Calliope is the nicest person you’ll ever meet; she’ll be nice to everyone but won’t tolerate rudeness. She believes in killing people with kindness and that if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say nothing, so she will not allow anyone to ruin her good mood.

WHEN: MAY 18 2022AE WHERE: Outside the Library of Elysia, Old Elysia WHO: (Open 0/3)

Calliope should have known better than to leave work so late in the evening, but she had become so immersed in her research that she had forgotten the time, but she wasn't worried because as long as she got to the train station safely, everything would be fine. She was about to leave when she turned around and saw someone who startled her and made her clutch her chest, taking a few breaths in and out. "Why?" She stepped over to the person's side "What are you doing lurking here?"

WHEN: MAY 17, 2022AE WHERE: Truly anywhere<3 WHO: [Open 2/3]

“You’ve dropped your wallet and… right there, do you see? That’d be your address.” Cato stood outside their front door now.

“Hmm.. I don’t think so.” Calliope crossed her arms, looking at the wallet and not recognising it then wondering what this woman’s game was, “I’m not stupid enough to fall for whatever game you think you’re playing.”

TW: DEATH, CHILD NEGLECT

Part 1

Calliope May Harper was born to James and Elizabeth Harper, and as the oldest child, she felt enormous pressure from her parents to be a role model for her younger sister Cora and to succeed at everything. This was not something Calliope wanted to do, and she did her best to keep her parents happy while also doing what she wanted - this caused a strain in her relationship with her parents, but they had Cora, and she was the definition of a perfect daughter - she did exactly what their parents wanted, and Calliope was effectively second fiddle as a result.

Part 2

She knew she should be more concerned about her parents' neglect of her, but Calliope was happy doing her own thing and not having anyone judge her. She had her friends, and she spent most of her free time with them, happy to be away from the family who treated her as if she were unwanted; she knew her parents loved her, but she didn't blame her sister for anything because it wasn't her fault, and she was still close to Cora; nothing could ever change that because Cora was her best friend.

Part 3

Everything changed after Calliope turned sixteen. She'd returned home from school when she collapsed to her knees, overwhelmed and unable to stop screaming no matter how loud and deafening the world became. She could see her parents crouched over Cora, who was not responding, and after it was all over, her parents told her that Cora would not be returning home.

Part 4

Calliope felt helpless and guilty afterwards, as if she could have done something to prevent Cora's death when she couldn't, and as if her parents blamed her as well. Since then, there has been tension between Calliope and her parents that has not been resolved; everyone basking in their own grief, and her parents' return to neglecting her made it easier for Calliope to attend university and move out of her parents' house. That was the most lonely she had ever felt in her life, with her best friend gone and her parents not being loving towards her.

Part 5

But it was also at this point that Calliope realised she was different; she was a banshee, and the fact that she was didn't even surprise her. She had always felt different, and this just put everything into perspective for her; she was determined to learn more about banshees through research because she knew her parents would be useless and would not tell her what she needed to know. She could ask her grandmother Rose Harper, who lived in Wailing Waters, and she now understood why her grandmother lived there because she, too, was a banshee. Everything made sense now.

Part 6

Calliope still doesn’t speak to her parents and doesn’t think she ever will, which is why she is simply trying to survive her sister's anniversary every year. She visits her grandmother who she has learned a lot about her heritage from and is thankful for that.She is enjoying her life and she works as a librarian, which allows her to obtain research on the various species that inhabit Obsidian City and the surrounding areas. She is also attempting to learn more about her banshee heritage in order to gain a better understanding of the abilities she possesses.
