PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Her training as a soldier and her strict adherence to calorie intake has resulted in a lean, toned physique, complimented by her usual fatigues, short cropped copper hair and deep green eyes. Around her upper left arm is a tattoo of barbed wire wrapped around her bicep, above which sits a winged skull and a scroll between the two with writing that reads "MORS ANTE DEDECUS", Death before Dishonor. She usually has her short cut hair held up out of the way via a headband wrapped around her forehead and tied behind her head, and is most often seen either in full uniform, or with her fatigue pants and tank top along with her utility belt and all her needed gear.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
A bright-eyed youngster, Callista has yet to truly be shaken by the realities that she will face. She's often seen smiling and horsing around with her fellow soldiers, getting into trouble and in general genuinely enjoying the life she leads. She is naive, honest to a fault and truly believes that what she stands for is infallibly good. She is doggedly determined to succeed and push through whatever comes her way, although she has yet to fully grasp what that entails. She is, by all accounts, an average soldier, in an average unit, with an average personality, and a naive outlook on life. The only notable things about her being her uncommonly strong sense of duty and willingness to sacrifice for something greater than she.
STRENGTHS
- Marksmanship. Despite being average in most things, Callista is a gifted markswoman. Able to shoot more accurately over greater distances than the average grunt, still not good enough to be a dedicated sniper, but more than good enough to be issued a weapon suited for longer range engagements. Preferring Iron Sights over any fancy optics, she is far from prodigious, but is certainly more than sufficient.
- CQB. Aside from long distance marksmanship, much of her training prepared her for close quarters engagements, so she is comfortable around shotguns but also melee weapons such as knives or buttstocks. While no professional duelist, her up-close fighting being far more of a rough-and-tumble brawl rather than a dignified and poised series of slashings and pokes, she is lethal at close range and should not be underestimated when engaged in a grapple.
WEAKNESSES
- Honor Above All. Honor and Virtue are among her most revered morals. Which can lead her to spare a foe she shouldn't, or engage someone on unfavorable terms. It is a virtue, but it is also a weakness that can be easily exploited by the more insidious foes she may face.
- Trusting. She is an honest woman, her word is her bond, and she expects the same from other people. She is quick to take someone at their word, and trust that they will do as they say they will. She isn't stupid, and if betrayed once will be more cautious, but is nonetheless inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt. This can be used to manipulate her with impressive ease.
