## **General Information**

**Calypso Roguerva Cheney** is an S-class mage of Sabertooth and one of the protagonists. She is the daughter of Rogue Cheney and Minerva Orland and the older half sister of Selene Cheney and adopted sister of Saiya. Her mastery over Moon Magic and Territory is well known. She is currently a member of the Heavenly Twins of Sabertooth with her best friend (and boyfriend) Eleodoro Eucliffe.

## **Appearance**

Cal normally dresses in dark clothing. She has pale skin and a medium bust size. She sports a gray turtleneck overtop a black skirt, dark gray tights, and black, knee-high boots. On top of all of that she wears a heavy, black, hooded cloak. Thanks to her body and magic, Cal is almost always cold, so she uses the cloak as an extra protective layer. She usually keeps the hood up during the day.

As of X817, the only difference is the length of her hair. It used to reach down to her shoulders before she cropped it for unknown reasons.

When it is down, her messy, black hair is seen covering most of her face including her gorgeous green-brown eyes. Even Eli rarely gets to see her entire face without interference. However, her beauty is inferred as Eli, Reiki, and Selene all find her breathtaking to look at.

In Moon Dress form, Callie wears a pure white, 3/4-sleeved, knee-length dress outlined in silver. It lacks shoulders and she does not wear any leggings. On her feet she dons silver sandals studded with mini diamonds. Her hair is held back via a diamond headband, with two locks framing her face. Additionally, her eyes change color to solid white and wears a mysterious chain around her neck.

## **Personality**

Cal is a very stoic person who speaks with a deeper monotone. She rarely has major outward reactions. Part of this is due to her exhaustion form being unable to sleep well at night thanks to her enhanced senses. However, she will smile at special events or people, such as her sisters. In spite of her outward appearance, Cal is very self-conscious. She has high social anxiety and prefers to hide among the shadows. This includes her clothing, the guild hall corner, and even her room both at home and the apartment are heavily darkened.

   Despite the apparent lack of compassion, Cal is extremely protective and caring. Having grown up without an official mother in the house, when Selene and Saiya came along she took on the role of a mother herself in order to provide them with proper childhoods. Anytime Saiya's health takes a turn for the worst, she breaks down and neglects her own health until she knows her sister is going to live. She is also trusting of her guildmates to take care of her sisters. She allows Selene to leave with Apollo to train with his Aunt Sorano or other guild members. When Eli carries Saiya she has no objections, either.

However, Calypso is also mature and wise. Even though she lacked a "mother", the teenager managed to understand and figure out her own dignity. She is especially disgusted by women who lack it, notably her own mom, Minerva. Cal is a strong believer in upholding this self-pride, which is another reason why she dresses so conservatively. It is unknown if she has tried to explain this anyone other than Selene. Eli inferringly knows this as he always turns his back when she gets out of bed (even though she's mostly covered). He also avoids groping her despite their frequent cuddling.

## **Magic and Abilities**

**Moon:** Calypso's primary magic. It rivals Heavenly Body Magic and is the counterpart to Sun Magic.

*Moon Shadow*: The user turns her or his body into a streak of black light and darts around. Its speed matches Meteor's and can potentially go faster.

*Shadow Wind*: The user lunges with her or his left foot forward, arms in front and behind, and palms pointed outwards. A silver seal with a moon on it appears beneath. A whirlwind of shadows starts at the feet and quickly grows and smashes everything within the diameter. The maximum reach is unknown.

*Subzero*: The user stands with their feet shoulder-width apart. The arms are extended out to the left and right with the palms perpendicular to the ground and facing inward. A silver seal with a moon on it appears beneath. The user claps their hand, and dark blue ice quickly freezes everything around him or her. When enhanced, this spell can freeze an entire valley. When in conjunction with its counterpart Inferno, an enormous explosion of ice, fire, and subsequent wind ensues, flattening buildings to the ground within a very large diameter.

*Moon Dress:* A specific outfit that enhances Calypso's natural abilities. It is only able to be activated once the sun is down, and it is the most effective during a full moon. While in this form, her magic is emitted a silvery-aura and her overall power doubles. Reiki noted that it felt like she was simply irradiating endless power. Just opening her eyes after donning the dress can send two full-grown men flying backwards like paper in the wind. In addition, she has the ability to smash through illusions with the snap of her finger. It is unknown if she can normally do this. This outfit appears to amplify her physical capabilities as well, as she was able to block Mo's punch with one hand. However, since she had lifted up her boyfriend not too long prior while in regular clothing, it is possible that this block was just her natural strength. Regardless, Eli noted that she only puts it on when there is an opponent with serious strength in her eyes.

**Territory:** Calypso's secondary magic. She was directly taught by Minerva. This Magic revolves around the manipulation of space, which allows her to manipulate any spatial region within her line of sight. She can teleport things instantly out of thin air, such as the boy they rescued during the Mountain Toppler's mission. In addition, she can also switch positions with her chosen target, by simultaneously teleporting her target and herself to each other's location. The most prominent example was swapping herself out for Sally to avoid flirtation from the Blue Pegasus mages. As if that was not enough, Calypso has complete control over the "rules" when she herself is in the Dimension. At the snap of her fingers she can allow people to move or teleport them out without moving herself. She is also able to simultaneously teleport more than one person either in or out of the Dimension. Since it is spatial magic, the distance between places is manipulated and a three-day train ride can be accomplished by a twenty minute walk in the Dimension, assuming you know where you are going. How this is exactly accomplished is unknown. Calypso's mastery of this magic extends beyond Minerva's capabilities. The teenager is able to transport multiple people halfway across the Fiore country without taking a break or getting exhausted. Minerva's range can only extend throughout one city.

**Enchantment:** Calypso is an enchanter. While she has not explicitly shown many spells, it has been noted that they take less effort than her Moon Magic while the sun is above the horizon. Additionally, the fact that she is a *self-taught* enchanter implies persistent training and genius-level intellect (nobody else in Sabertooth can perform enchantments and she has only recently interacted positively with Fairy Tail).

*Anti-Disease*: This enchantment protects the castor and any desired targets from the spreading of any disease. However, this does not work against magical diseases, such as Magic Deficiency Disease (MDD).

**Keen Intellect:** Calypso is extremely intelligent. She was able to figure out Yuka Suzuki's real identity when they investigated the Mountain Topplers guild. When she was battling M's robbers, she instantly realized and counteracted the illusion. On that same night, she had figured out how to directly deal with M's magic as the shorter villain was explaining it. Unfortunately, this high intelligence does not assist her with social interactions. During Sabertooth's X817 S-class trials, she was able to solve a mysterious puzzle in less than an hour.

**Enhanced Senses:** Cal gains superior senses from the time the sun sets halfway below the horizon to the time it rises halfway above the horizon. According to her, it is both a blessing and a curse. She is able to sense wizards’ actions, hear every whisper, feel every breath of wind, and even taste differences in the air. However, when she is in pain she loses awareness of the world. Another limit is that she is unable to hear thoughts like Jace and Erik. In fact, she used these enhanced senses to detect Boss Mo's robber carriage from a fairly far distance. The exact range is unknown.

## **Family**

**Rogue Cheney:** Calypso's father. He raised her and her sisters as a single father with Frosch as the only help. As he got busier, he unintentionally dumped the household responsibilities on his eldest. This included caring for Selene and Saiya. However, he still greatly loves his daughter as he homeschooled Calypso to preserve her mental health and picked her up after she got lost at the Eucliffe's house. He then proceeded to soothe and assure that her mother was not a Dark Mage by any means. In addition, when Saiya was returned to the guild, he stepped forward and took the little girl home instead of Cal.

**Selene Cheney:** Calypso's younger half-sister. Nobody except Rogue and Sting explicitly know Selene's mother. There have been implications based on where she goes every summer, but Rogue has never confirmed the facts. Regardless, Selene adores Callie-nee and the two sisters share a strong bond. When Selene was upset by Saiya's hospitalization, her older sister held on to her and let her fall asleep in Callie's arms. Callie is willing to discuss her personal struggles with her younger sister. The ten-year-old also asks for permission to study other magics, with the eighteen-year-old often saying yes. This implies Callie's trust not only of the guildmates in caring for Selene, but Selene herself. The little girl is also saddened by Callie's self-forced growth in order to protect and provide a motherly figure. At the same time, she recognizes her sister's feelings and helps Callie as best as she can.

**Saiya Cheney:** Calypso's younger adopted sister. Until Reiki told Cal to bring her to Fairy Tail, nobody explicitly knew who Saiya's real parents are. Rogue found her when she was thirteen months old. The baby was in a basket sitting in the cold rain outside the Sabertooth guild hall. She has congenitive muscular dystrophy, an inherited disease. The disorder causes heart and respiratory problems, as well as an inability to walk or stay awake for long periods of time. As a result, she is prone to cardiac arrest even though she is only six years old. Despite there being no genetic relationship, she trusts and respects her older sister. Having been raised with Callie as a motherly figure, she often clings to the Moon mage and stays at her apartment when Rogue is busy.

**Minerva Orland:** Calypso's biological mother. Growing up, Cal saw Minerva as a motherly figure, but didn't think of her as a "real mom" since it was never explicitly stated. Minerva personal reasons for keeping the relationship hidden, which Cal didn't find out until X817.

At the time of Cal's conception, bits of Minerva's old reputation were still present. The Territory mage didn't want her child to be tainted or shunned by the other guild members, so she gave birth to Callie in secret on an eighteen-month-long-break. The little girl was left in the care of an elderly couple while her mother visited three times every week in order to look after her. Once Callie turned four, Rogue picked her up and brought her to the guild, where he has raised her since. Minerva assisted in taking care of the child.

After Selene arrived at the guild, Minerva stopped talking to Rogue completely. But she remained willing to homeschool her daughter after Cal was pulled out for mental health reasons. She has also taught Callie her own magic, Territory.

## **Friends**

**Eleodoro Eucliffe:** Calypso's best friend and current boyfriend. While their parents did not introduce them to each other, their relationship started after Eli asked her to play when she was eight years old. They began going on quests together in August X812 when they were ten. However, they did not actually bond until Cal turned thirteen and started puberty in X815. Eli has been a source of comfort over the years. He is always there for her during her atrocious periods and is willing to wake other people up to get her medical attention. He is also terrified of losing her and will weep at the mere thought.

However, Cal harbors concern for her boyfriend as well. She stands in front of him during quests to protect him and requests him to leave the hospital to avoid him watch her in distress. Additionally, when being healed by Wendy and Skyler she hopes that it not only stops her physical pain but Eli's emotional pain as well. When Eli does break down, Cal does not hesitate to stop everything she is doing in order to calm him down. Even if it means leaving behind a spectacular villain.

**Reiki Fernandes:** Reiki and Cal have a professional relationship. However, in the past it was much more volatile.

According to Cal, it started in July X815 at Crocus. Nashi caught sight of Eli's keys and the two began dueling. Meanwhile, Reiki stared directly at her face. She became uncomfortable very quickly. So, she walked up to him, slugged him in the face and called him a creep. Reiki was oblivious to her reason, beginning the feud.

On the last day of the Games in X817, the two confronted each other. Calypso used Eight Phases while Reiki prepared Altairis. Just before the latter's spell release, Rosemary (a non-competitor) stepped in between them. Reiki ignored her and launched the spell forward. Calypso promptly teleported Rosemary into the Dimension before casting hers. They just missed each other, causing the teenagers to gain direct hits from their opponents' tremendous power. When the dust cleared, both were on the verge of death and two miles apart. After a two-week-long coma, they each woke up, much to the relief of their respective families and guilds.

The two did not come in contact until Larry Vastia brought their two teams together via a lost bet. Regardless, they now trust each other's skills enough to put the past behind them when it is required. Specifically, Reiki offered Cal to bring her little sister Saiya to Fairy Tail for healing as well as to talk about unusual events. He also woke up Wendy and Skyler Conbolt at 4:23am in the morning to heal her per Eli's request.

Calypso actually has admiration for Reiki being able to move forward and inspired her to do the same. Reiki has also stated that he and Cal are so much alike that if they tried to start a relationship it wouldn't last more than a day.

## **Trivia**

* In the first draft of Adventures Await, Cal's name was Peninumbera "Penny" Cheney. The name was changed to a) better match her magic type and b) the author didn't want her name to sound phonetically similar to other characters such as Reiki and Nashi
* Cal and Eli originated from an alternate unwritten universe in the author’s mind. They were unrelated siblings who helped each other recover after a disaster. They were so close people thought they were lovers, but the reality was they didn’t harbor romantic feelings for each other. The author loved them so much she decided to put them into Adventures Await.
* In the author’s unwritten alternate universe, Penny Lunema and Corey Solano (Eli) were known as the Celestial Twins. The team name was changed slightly in Adventures Await due the presence of Celestial Spirit magic. Their last names were changed to match their parents as well.
* In the author’s unwritten alternate universe, Selene and Apollo (Eli's younger brother) were Spirit Creatures — a western woolly lemur and a ring-tailed lemur, respectively — that guided Penny and Corey. In Adventures Await, they were converted into little siblings of Calypso and Eleodoro, and their personalities were reversed. Meanwhile, Saiya and Rigel were originally younger siblings of the Twins who passed away in a disaster.
