DO NOT EDIT. I can be found as dunsparmy on DeviantArt, Discord, and Instagram for any questions or concerns.
Calypso "Caly" Hanalei is an original character created by dunsparmy. She first appeared as an original character for the series "Pokemon", later appearing as an original character for other series such as "Dragon Ball", "Yu-Gi-Oh!", and "Naruto", with varying appearances or name alterations. Calypso is primarily known in present day for being a South Park original character, as the main protagonist for the fanfiction/web series "South Park: Alternative". She prefers to go by the nickname "Caly". 
Work in progress!
THIS ARTICLE MAY CONTAIN SENSITIVE TOPICS. Use caution when reading; You don't have to like what I write, but I will write what I want, as everything written here is fictional and non-canon to South Park.
==Alternate Timelines==
Calypso is present in two different universes of dunsparmy's creation: South Park: Alternative (original story, unique events) and Caly's Adventures in South Park (CASP, following canon story). Everything below is implied to be part of South Park: Alternative unless noted otherwise.
==Appearance==
Calypso is of mixed race origins, primarily Japanese and Polynesian/Hawaiian. She has long, wavy red hair that flows down her back around her bottom. In older SP-Studio sprites, she is shown with green eyes, and would have green eyes in other non South Park related styles.
She wears a pink and white collared button up sweater and dark purple pants. She frequently has goggles on her forehead, usually crooked. She has freckles on her face and all over her body. At times, she may be shown with a small gap between her teeth. 
Her forearms have scratch marks from self-harm, which are in between healing and being reopened. She keeps her forearms covered most times for this reason, being seen in most outfits with white wristbands should she be wearing short sleeves/no sleeves.
Caly is 11 years old and has already hit puberty, being a bit older than the other 4th grade girls. She has developing breasts and tends to feel self-conscious about her body.
==Personality==
Caly is very extroverted and loves being surrounded by her friends. Being alone causes her to experience extreme separation anxiety. She was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and at times may be seen as annoying or overly talkative by others. She rarely sits still in one place or does things "normally"; She is frequently found rocking back and forth on her feet, sitting in crisscrossed position on the floor, or strolling around aimlessly.
She is a bit of an airhead and is not the brightest. Her grades are barely average, though this is partly due to her dyslexia and dysgraphia. Reading has never been her strong suit, but she has a creative mind and can be seen flourishing in science and art classes.
Caly also has a potty mouth. She can be found cursing frequently and doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks about this. She is dense at times and doesn't always get sarcasm, but she has quick and witty comebacks to those she doesn't particularly like.
Strengths: observant, friendly, supportive, talkative, agile, determined 
Weaknesses: overemotional, stubborn, clumsy, airheaded, people-pleaser, secretive 
==Relationships==
===Thiago Hanalei===
Thiago is Caly's oldest brother. He's 16 years old and in 10th grade. He serves as the guardian and caretaker of Taeyo and Caly, as their mother only does the bare minimum. He doesn't show much physical affection, but cares about her deeply, as shown by his acceptance as his role of guardian to his siblings. He picks on Caly, trying to keep a normal sibling dynamic alive. He helps her get ready every day, including taking her to school, making sure she has lunch money, and helping with her hair.
Thiago also doesn't care for younger kids in particular, and is quite hostile to most of her friends for this reason. However, he's on good terms with Cypress and isn't as harsh on her.
As Thiago is an openly gay man, he is able to help his siblings learn about the LGBTQ community and be active in it, should they choose to be.
===Taeyo Okazaki===
Taeyo is Caly's older half-brother. The two have the same mother, but Taeyo's father is unknown. He's 13 and in 6th grade, being held back a year when his mother attempted to "home school" him (and Calypso.) He is autistic, so he shows Caly affection in unique ways that most don't see. Taeyo is extremely protective over Caly, to the point of using violence as a solution to keep her safe. The two bond over their shared love of video games and Chinpokomon. The duo are going through life as neurodivergent children together and are very close.
===Kana Okazaki===
The mother of Caly. She works as a stripper at The Peppermint Hippo. Kana doesn't particularly care much for any of her children, seeing them as more of a nuisance than anything. She wishes no ill will against them either, but the extent of her "affection" to them is clear; As long as they're alive and fed, that's all that matters. Before the death of her husband, she was more affectionate with them. In present-day, she seems to solely focus on her job and paying the bills.
She had Taeyo as the result of an assault and never mentally recovered from the situation, refusing therapy to help cope with the incident. Her irregular behavior could be explained by this event, though not excused.
=== Akashi Hanalei===
The father of Caly. He passed away when she was 8 years old due to a fatal cancer diagnosis. He was born in Hawaii to a Native Hawai'ian mother and a half-Native father, so he is half-Hawai'ian and half African-American. Akashi was well known around South Park for being a kind soul and always helping those in need, and many things haven't been the same since his passing: notably Kana's entire demeanor. (WIP) 
===Reid===
Once frenemies, these two harbored a secret crush on each other for some time, until Richmond was able to help push the two together. They are dating in the current time, and whether or not the relationship lasts through COVID is yet to be known. Reid is very protective of Caly and she is the only one who ever sees his soft side.
===Richmond===
Caly and Rich became quick friends. Rich teased her frequently about her crush, even though she was in denial, and eventually got her and Reid to start dating. Caly occasionally threatens him, but it's all in good fun...most of the time! 
===Cypress Cedar===
Calypso's best friend, and one of the members of her friend group in "South Park: Alternative". This OC was created by @cyppy___ (IG) and I have permission to use her.

===Canon Character relationships:===
===Kyle Broflovski (CASP only)===
Caly's childhood love, whom she officially started dating in the 4th grade. The two have been friends since preschool and can frequently be seen holding hands while walking around together. Though they go through some tumbles, even with a breakup in middle school, the two reconcile during high school and go on to marry each other in the "Post-Covid: The Return of Covid" "new future" timeline, having several children together.
===Pip Pirrip===
Caly's best friend outside of her friend group. The two bonded quickly upon him moving to South Park, and for a long time she would be the only person to talk to him or include him in things. This would at times, lead to isolation from the other kids who made fun of Pip. In 3rd grade, she would occasionally pick on him, but never in a harsh way, and only when she was lonely and wanted attention. He also helped her cope with the loss of her father.
She has wholly convinced herself that Pip moved back to England, and does not learn of his untimely death until she's older. Even now, she refuses to believe it, still considering him her best friend.
===Scott Tenorman===
Some time after being released from the ward, Scott Tenorman would find himself lost and looking to cause chaos. He would eventually find Caly when she was extremely lonely; After accidentally alienating her friends and breaking up with Mike, she was vulnerable and had no idea where to turn. Scott would gain her trust over time and ultimately groom Caly into an inappropriate relationship, keeping it secret from everyone, including her brothers. It wasn't until she confided in Richmond and Reid about her conflict, after being threatened with the release of her private pictures, that they would help her escape the situation. Reid ultimately beats Scott to near death, and this is when Caly realizes what love really is, not what Scott tried to convince her otherwise. 
Scott never bothered Caly again, and though his presence in Caly's life caused her trauma, she would in time recover thanks to help from her friends. Scott wouldn't appear in South Park again for another 25 years, and upon returning, apologizes for the harm he caused to Caly. She acknowledges his apology, but does not forgive him nor accept him into her (or her family's) life, explaining how she recovered and never wished to see him again. This ended up being the last time Scott was seen. 
===Wendy Testaburger===
One of Caly's closest friends. The two of them have similar stances on social movements, such as feminism. Though they bicker on occasion, they usually make up after crying to each other about how sorry they are. Caly thinks Wendy deserves a better boyfriend than Stan, but never tells this to her verbally. In 3rd grade, Caly confesses she has a crush on Wendy, her first experience with attraction to girls. The two decide to remain friends, and joke about it later in life.
===Mike Makowski===
Mike and Caly dated for a few months in 4th grade, when she became friends with the Vampire Kids after feeling left out of her friend group. Though Mike seemed to be hopelessly in love with her, Caly eventually felt burnt out, and very suddenly ended the relationship claiming she "wasn't the Bella" he was searching for. He becomes very depressed over this, but after some time, they become friends again, alongside the other vamp kids she considers friends: Annie Bartlett, Larry, and Ravyncrowe.
During the South Park: Post Covid original timeline, it's revealed that Caly and Mike hooked up and had a child, getting married, though it only lasted a few years before dissolving into a divorce. This timeline became non-canon after the "new future" timeline became the canon one, leaving Caly and Mike's relationship forever ended back in the 4th grade (but are still friends.)
===Bebe Stevens===
Bebe and Caly are both on the South Park Cheerleading squad. Caly wants nothing more than to be cheer captain, but so does Bebe. Caly knows she's more talented than Bebe, but it's obvious to everyone but herself that she isn't a great leader, underestimating her teammates and being too bossy. For this reason, Caly and Bebe have a feud going on, and don't exactly get along well.
==Alter Egos==
===Queen Caly ===
After not being allowed to play with the boys in their games, Caly decides to round up the girls and make her own kingdom: Sparkle Kingdom, AKA Kingdom of the Girls. She leads as the founder and queen, with Shieldmaiden Wendy and Cypress the Faerie as her closest advisors. Her weapon of choice is a boomerang, and she uses "calculated bird attacks" (luring birds in the area in with food) to distract and get the upper ground in battles.
She eventually makes negotiations with the Drow Elves to ally with them against the Kingdom of Kupa Keep.
The Sparkle Kingdom has the Stick of Truth for a short time before its eventual destruction.
Alignment: Chaotic Good | Sparkle Kingdom
Damaging Weapon: Boomerang (Light, ranged)
Ability: Bird-Call -- Summon birds in (by sprinkling bread crumbs) that confuse and stun all opponents.
Ultimate Attack: Fury of the Girls -- All the girls of Sparkle Kingdom band together to attack all opponents, charming them (Gay men and straight women are immune to this effect) and giving all female allies on the field an attack boost.
===Pussycat===
Class: Assassin-Brutalist
Backstory: One with the cats, Pussycat got her abilities after being abandoned by her parents as a child and being raised by stray cats. She saw how people would treat stray cats, so she is very wary of who to trust. Pussycat aligns with no side, preferring to stay a vigilante. However, she may ally with others temporarily.
Summary: Pussycat is a sneaky and agile hero, who functions as a spy and a force of strength. She is easily underestimated due to her gender and appearance, but proves time and time again that she is not one to be messed with! She has claws, and uses her agility to evade attacks, alongside her last resort of pure strength to take an enemy down. She can also be found befriending stray cats that she enlists to help her with various tasks.
====Attacks:====
Cat-Scratch Fever: Swift claw attack that causes bleeding (Brawn)
Strays Align: Summon stray cats as allies that can deal damage (Brains)
Throat Punch: Self explanatory. Punch to the throat that does knock-back damage (Brawn)
Femme Fatale: Ultimate attack. Relentless barrage of agile kicks, punches, and swings, causing extreme physical damage and bleeding.
Bonus: Carries a pretzel and toilet paper around for healing and trap-making.
====Character Sheet: ====
Race/Ethnicity: Black Polynesian Japanese
Sex/Gender: Bisexual cisgender girl
Alignment: Chaotic/Neutral (Neither Coon and Friends nor Freedom Pals) 
Religion: Agnostic
Power Source: Feline Instincts
Kryptonite: Animal Control
Economic Class: Low class
=== Cheerleader===
Calypso loves cheerleading, taking the sport quite seriously and always honing her skills. As she has been dancing from a young age, she has significant talent when it comes to her flexibility and agility. She usually puts on a little blush and mascara for games and competitions. She sometimes tries taking charge when she shouldn't, though the cheer captain is Wendy Testaburger; This has gotten Caly in trouble several times with the squad. Due to her ADHD, she sometimes forgets parts of group routines, leading some of the cheerleader girls to think of her as a nuisance.
===Raisins===
Caly gets a job at Raisins when she is convinced to apply after visiting with her friends. Due to having larger "raisins" than the other girls, she finds herself getting more tips and customers than the other waitresses, which leads to jealousy from some of them, Mercedes in particular. How long Caly kept this job isn't known, but ever since Raisins was closed during the COVID Pandemic, she hasn't had a job since.
===Preschool===
Calypso at age 4 in preschool. This is when she met Cypress, though Kenny also became her best friend. She attempted to cut her own hair after hearing her mother "hated [Caly's] hair" and would "chop it all off" if she could. Due to the choppy results, she was taken to get it fixed, much against her will. Since then, Caly has been terrified of the hairdresser, therefore always keeping very long hair and not taking very good care of it.
She didn't know anything about love or romance, but she really liked being around Kyle. They wouldn't actually explore romance until they were a bit older.
==Trivia== 
*In preschool, Calypso talked exclusively in 3rd person: For example, "Caly thinks you stinky." Nobody ever knew why, but upon hitting kindergarten, her speech suddenly corrected itself.
*The only "phase" Caly went through was a Vamp Kid phase, and this was short-lived as she "didn't even like Twilight that much" (not that Mike had to know) and missing her old style too much.
*When asked why she wears goggles, Caly will not (or cannot) give a true answer. She just shrugs and says "I like how they look."
*In adulthood, Caly's vision worsens, leading her to need glasses, just like her father had.
*She can speak three languages: English, Ha'waiian, and Japanese, though she doesn't become fluent in the latter two until adulthood.
*Caly becomes a teacher at South Park Elementary as an adult, hoping to inspire other children with learning disabilities.
