PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Her training as a soldier and her strict adherence to calorie intake has resulted in a lean, toned physique, complimented by 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 now has her hair braided down her back or over her shoulder.
Once she wore fatigues as an average militiawoman. She carried a rifle and a bayonet into battle. Once ago she looked like the rough and tumble grunt she had been. Disciplined but brutish and simple. Now she is much changed. Her green fatigues have been replaced by a suit of armor, black and red in color with some brass ornamentation depicting rank and specialty. This armor covers her head to toe when her helmet is on, and protects her from all sorts of bodily harm. Few who knew her before would recognize the woman she has become.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Once a bright-eyed youngster, Callista has been humbled by life, and it changed her. She has undergone some ordeals that altered her personality in many ways. Once jovial she is now stoic, finding it hard to feel joy in the things she used to love. Now she serves a purpose, and her loyalty to that purpose is absolute.
She is, to put it simply, on a crusade. A crusade to vanquish the wickedness that had laid her low. Sith in particular has earned her ire, and she now wishes only to hunt them down and exterminate them. Her hatred for them was once strong, but with her now severed from the force her hate has mellowed into stern determination to see them destroyed.
To describe Callista in a few words, it is Duty above all. She will sacrifice anything to see the mission done. And she will never yield to any foe that stands in front of her.
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.
- Frontliner: Once she had been a riflewoman, first and foremost. But now she has received more extensive training for melee engagements. With a shield on her arm and a mace or a hammer in her hand she is a lethal duelist. She doesn’t rely on fancy footwork or elegant techniques, rather she is straightforward and brutalist in her approach. Her shield to deflect punishment, her weapon to deliver it.
WEAKNESSES
- Honor Above All. Honor and Virtue are among her most revered morals. Which can lead her to 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.
- Simplicity. Her simple approaches to scenarios she’s confronted make her disinterested in nuance or complexity. She sees things in far more black and white terms than she used to, and can thereby be fooled or manipulated if her point of view is toyed with.
