> "*Is that honestly all you’ve got? You would have killed me if you didn’t need me? Pah! Killing you is the only reason I have to live! I know you the most out of anyone else on this planet, Yharim! You act so strong, so fearless, and yet, on the inside, you’re just a vile, irresponsible, arrogant little child, hiding behind a stupid little mask because you’re afraid. Afraid the world will see you for what you truly are. Nobody likes you. Not your people. Not your soldiers. Not your Elite. Not even Yharon. I’d bet you everything I know each and every living creature on this planet would kill you the first chance they got. You’re a failure. Not just of a dictator, but as a human being.*"

## Backstory

Ira’s life was hellish. When she was young, having been born in a family of immensely powerful sorcerers, her entire family was crucified by an angry mob from their town for an unknown offense. Furious, The young witch used all the power she could muster to incinerate the entire town, leaving behind no known survivors. Since then, she had been training her powers, seeking to get revenge on the world for its cruelty. This led to her being called to the Jungle through a telepathic message, and arrived to meet the Jungle Tyrant, Yharim. Noticing the sheer power she held, the Tyrant offered to teach her to master her power, should she follow his every order. Knowing no better, she accepted,.

During his reign, she was told to completely annihilate several civilizations, creating a desert from the Sea Kingdom and the Brimstone Crags from the Underworld Capitol, her soon earning the title of Calamitas. However, as she was told to perform these despicable acts, and as she was eventually taught to harness her magic to its fullest extent, she began to question the Tyrant’s ways. After eventually trying to convince him that his motives were flawed, and that he had no reason whatsoever to destroy the millions of people that inhabited these regions, he warned her not to question his motives.

After noticing his attempt to clone her, Calamitas snapped. She set the incomplete clone free as a distraction while she fled the palace. Furious, the Tyrant put a curse on her, which, over time, caused her to descend to insanity and become trapped inside the form of a massive Brimstone eyeball, which would amplify her powers significantly, but cause her to lose her mind. She was drawn back toward Yharim’s side, where she has stood, only a fraction what she once was, for several years.

However, as she began to break free from Yharim's curse, the Tyrant ordered another clone to be constructed. When this clone was complete, he no longer had any need for her, and sent her to destroy the remaining settlements in the Underworld.

## Role

### Pre-Hardmode Arc

Calamitas's first canon appearance in the roleplay is when the group find her in the Brimstone Crags, sulking after realizing she had been abandoned by her master. Steve would soon realize that the witch was his adopted sister, and requested that she be taken back to the surface with them. Once they had reached the hometown, the group explained to her how they were trying to amass enough power and numbers to eventually overtake Yharim. At this, she agreed to join their cause as a result of their common enemy. She would assist with the destruction of the Eater of Worlds, [|Hive Mind]], Skeletron, Slime Core, and Wall of Flesh during the group's travels, among others.

However, as they were ambushed by the Pseudo-Calamitas, who sought to capture her cloning host for her master, the two would fight, with the rest of the group providing additional support, eventually defeating the clone and forcing it to flee.

## Personality

Ira has grown apathetic and cold. After the atrocities she was made to commit, she understands she can no longer be trusted by anyone. Compassion and empathy are absent from her moral code. Her only purpose is to bring Hell to the man who destroyed her life, and anything that stands in her way, even if she should die in the process.

## Goals

* Murder Yharim
* Murder Yharon
* Eviscerate her doppelganger
* Destroy the Devourer of Gods and his sentinels
* Obliterate the Slime God
* Burn the Tyrant's army to the ground
* Commit suicide

## Relationships

* **Yharim**: Ira despises Yharim more than anything else on the planet. Having witnessed first-hand how little the Tyrant values the lives of his millions of subjects, and being forced to kill millions of said subjects, has led her to despise the man with every fiber of her being. Every since she was thrown aside like a disposable servant, she has made it her life goal to destroy him. Death is too generous an offer at this point. Yharim must be forced to watch as his entire army-everything he worked towards his whole life, is burned to the ground in front of him, as his very will to live is drawn from his body.
* **Stephanos "Steve" Anasteas**: Ira's opinion on Steve is neutral. She, as he does her, sees him not as a sibling, but as a distant ally, and nothing more. She respects his spirit, but has doubts toward his survival.
* **Arsin Sanguinos** and **Arath Sanguinos**:
* **Supreme Calamitas**:
* **The Devourer of Gods**:
* **Helia, The Brimstone Elemental**:
* **Seony**:
* **Irik** and **Azale**:
