ability
they have the ability to, well, be on fire. it's a very emotion-based power and cal can't control it really - currently, the most she can do is make sure it doesn't burn through her clothes, but any time she's feeling an intense emotion, particularly anger, she just sets on fire. often it starts off at her hands as she tries to calm herself but spreads once her anger takes hold of her emotions. it goes away within a few minutes though and, to them, is honestly more a nuisance than it is useful.

appearance
cal is a heighted, broad-shouldered person who has their fair share of muscles from strenuous work in the stables. they have a warm brown complexion, complementary to their dark eyes, which however comes in great contrast to the icy stare they usually fix people with. finally, they have thick locks of dark, wavy hair that cascades down to their shoulders when untied, giving them an unkept appearance.

𝐏𝐒𝐘𝐂𝐇𝐄.

first impression
cal can come off as a bit hostile, with a permanent scowl etched into their face and an unwillingness to talk to others. however they're smart enough to know when pleasantness is required and will do their best to keep a neutral expression when someone of note is present, in lieu of their usual frown.

personality
cal is a very spiteful person and no one is truly safe from her grudges, no matter who they may be. she tends to hold the tiniest of things against people and will often act very petty due to it. however, despite her easily annoyed nature, it's a hit or miss when trying to get a reaction out of her for she'll either start shrieking at you, all up in flames or, the usual, ignore you completely. fortunately enough, she has the foresight to not just lunge at people as, though they aren't strong enough to be fatal, her abilities can leave a few second degree burns here and there at worst. honestly, cal is not a people person. the only meaningful connections she's had is with the horses she tends for and her sister, maya. she has a very dry sense of humour and prefers to listen to others talking rather than make conversation herself. they believes it's best to stay as discrete about yourself as possible, while taking in the information of others you know.
however, once you get past her cold demeanour, you'll find that calida is actually a very committed and supportive friend, who will always put your needs above hers — though her first priority is always her sister.

strengths
resilient, hard-working, strong, observational, loyal

spiteful and petty, antisocial, easily irritated

history
since her birth, calida and her family worked on their farm for a living, however due to a famine one year, they found themselves struggling for income, only having access to a couple of old cows and horses. it didn't help that their father's response to this misfortune was to become deeply in debt, due to his recently developed drinking problem and even worse gambling problem.
eventually, this resulted in them having to sell the farm to pay off his debts, leaving them on the streets when cal was only thirteen. their father quickly became ill and so calida and their sister would do odd jobs to earn enough for a little food, while their mother stayed back to aid her husband. however, few people hired them as it was a small village and their father's unflattering reputation was known throughout it.
supposedly, their luck wasn't very good, as after mere weeks of being homeless, their parents caught a fatal disease spreading through the village and quickly passed, leaving just cal and their sister.
following their parents deaths, the two began putting a little money aside and after months of hard labour, they managed to save enough to travel to a new village, in hopes of better job opportunities.
and thankfully, the worst of their hardships was over once they did - maya managed to find a job as a seamstress' apprentice, being very good with a needle and thread and, not too soon later, once they'd convinced maya to let them go find their own way of earning, cal managed to land a job as a stablehand. from there, the two worked their way up to a more stable, though still quite low-income, position and that's where they are now.

reason for participating
to bring in some money for her and her sister so they can stop having to work so hard for a living.

opinion on house
they genuinely could not care less about any of them.

opinion on the council
though she'd never say it out loud, she thinks they're all just a bunch of stuck up noblesses, desperately clinging to their power.

𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆.

opinion on the highborn they're aiming for
bellamy solace - cal doesn't really know much about them, other than them being dubbed "the perfect royal" - she just needed to choose someone and bellamy seemed like the least bothersome option.

opinion on lover
cal hasn't really been all that interested in the latest noblesse gossip before, seeing as she didn't expect to know anyone involved, though they recognise how useful lover could be now that they're the one involved.

other
they can't read or write.
they're allergic to peanuts.
