Callista

Dia is played by Arim in Ebon Ward. She is an enthusiastic and eccentric wizard with transformation magic.

## Background

Dia is a member of Ebon Ward South who joined the party in episode 3 along with Jasper, whom she is a longtime friend with. She joined the party after Musty left following the events of episodes 1 and 2. Dia joined the Ebon Ward in order to fund her pursuit of the legendary(?) Crocowolf. She wants to become more than human. Fezseh Kaicharr Melamanos is her girlfriend as of the end of the Underpath Arc

As of episode 6, she becomes linked with an insatiable demon named Attis, who is locked in a platinum mask. She then became a werewolf, by choice, in "The Ebon Ward: Episode 28".

Dia made a second deal with Attis in episode 43. In exchange for Attis allowing the mask to be safely moved to an Ebon Ward base, Dia promised to work to build Attis a new body. In addition a small amount of platinum was injected into Attis's arm, and the two became linked telepathically. Dia frequently has conversations with Attis where she forgets to not say her part of the conversation out loud, and it confuses people. Since making this deal, combined with her werewolf nature, Dia has struggled somewhat with cannibalism, which Attis has encouraged her to do.

As of episode 73, her right arm and part of her neck and cheek is turned into moveable platinum. This platinum arm is controlled by Attis, though he is cooperative and tries his best to move the hand how Dia wants to. The duo has some difficulty with jars, and Dia has to make a check to successfully cast any spell with somatic components until the start of the Sweetstone arc.

## Abilities

* Power to transform into various creatures including Gargoyle, Octopus, and Dire Tiger.
* Power to change mid-polymorph using a multimorph ability
* Can freely augment her stats without spells using a transformation ability
* Her platinum arm is incredibly strong, and uses Attis's strength. It has been able to lift a solid copper door, and can withstand extreme heat, and touch near molten metal — the only substance which has proven a problem is the extreme heat of Red Rot.
* Dia has a notoriously low Perception, with a flat —2 modifier.
* Attis has the ability Deep Cuts, which increases the size of his bleed die with every successful melee attack

### Equipment

* Big Brother (+1 heavy crossbow, requires attunement, also functions as a hand axe)
	+ Big Brother is a obsidian crossbow with a silver axe blade attached, and platinum etchings of five family members sat down for dinner. It also has a plaque that reads "Big Brother" in Necril. If fresh blood is wiped onto one of the faces, the wielder can detect the emotions of the blood's owner, and whether they have been wounded or killed. There's a removable face for each person in the etching on the other side of the stock, and as long as someone whose blood has been wiped on has the face in question, they can communicate with the user (out loud) within a mile radius, though too many obstacles in between the two people can interfere. If someone attuned to a face dies, or is outside a 30ft radius of the face for more than 10 minutes, the removable face returns to the crossbow, and alerts the wielders to its initial location. Dia found it in the Veritas Laboratory beneath the Illicioti Estate — it formally belonged to Agitas.
		- One of the removable faces is missing — it presumably is held by Margaret Redwood. As of Episode 118, the other four faces are attuned to Gnash, Maze Myers, and Jasper Chiaroscuro.
	+ Dia has not attacked with Big Brother yet, using it solely as a walky-talky

## Trivia

* Dia has very often been compared to the Jojo's Bizzare Adventure character, Dio Brando. This comparison comes from the fact that Dia is constantly trying to become something more than human, has had encounters with cursed masks, her normal icon looking similar to that of the popular Jojo Meme of "It was I, Dio!" and both of their first names being one letter apart. Despite the multiple similarities, it's been stated that said similarities between Dia and Dio were never intentional from the start, but later became a subtle inside-joke.
* Dia is 5'11"
* Dia's spellbook is wine red with silver embossing
* Dia never learned Mending even though it was offered by her first teacher, because she thought it was for slobs who don't take care of their stuff
* Dia writes in extremely loopy cursive
