## Background

Calamitas comes from a family of Asafurians, people from the underworld but they were living above, in The Jungle region. Her father was a powerful mage from the underworld and her mother was from The Jungle, she was a kind woman with a special heart that was passed to Calamitas and only to her, Calamitas also has two more siblings, with their names forgotten but Calamitas refers to them as "Cataclysm" and "Catastrophe". Her father thought her to mostly control her emotions so her magic won't hurt other people that she did not wish to hurt.

Calamitas did not get to cherish her family for long as when she was only 11 tragedy struck this family. Asafurians were not welcome in the overworld and were seen as infidels, betrayer of gods and unworthy to even uphold the gift of life, during a unfortunate night Calamitas woke up to the sound of locomotion in her house and muffled yelling. She came to a horrifying scene, her parents butchered bodies lying on the floor and her siblings being dragged outside, she yelled for her brothers to be released with tears in her eyes and called out for any help, but in response all she got received is being apprehended by one of the men taking part in this slaughter in the name of the Goddess of The Jungle. Her brothers struggled to their last moments, as one of them kicked one of the men, the order to execute came from that person and Calamitas this time was here to witness the death of her brothers, who were cut down by the blade.

It was in these moments that Calamitas came in contact with a darker side of her powers that her father tried his best to keep her away from, where you loose the control of your magic and of yourself, when you reach out and finally touch the void of existence. She came in contact with the Brimstone magic and she used it to incinerate her family's killers and cast their souls and bones into forming a horrifying monster, The Sepulcher, an abomination in the shape of a centipede made from bones that has an existence of eternal suffering that it must inflict on others.

Calamitas was never her true name, it was a taken name, a name she chose after this incident in order to relate to her new change, her new awakening to a dark reality. Calamitas collected the bodies of her brothers but she couldn't save anything from the bodies of her parents, as they were incinerated too by accident in her anger and she chose to burry their remains in front of this house, a home she cant call home anymore. She took her brothers bodies and went to find a place to live, with most of society rejecting her and condemning her for her race, she chose to live in isolation inside a cave she called home for many years. In this cave she learned the arts of necromancy and brimstone magic way better and she experimented a lot more, her first subjects were her brothers that were turned by her into monstrosities...that loved her, monsters that she did not fear but loved to see in front of her breathing and moving, upon seeing this she embraced her brothers in a hug and cried as they hugged her back. They were her creations now, they were everything she had now...until for 5 more years,

When she was 16 Calamitas was called by a strange voice to the Jungle Temple, The voice spoke to her in a compassionate tone and told her about vengeance and the dream of a better world, a world without gods, vengeance over all who wronged her and many alike. Calamitas instantly took interest in this voice and decided to follow its order to meet the one behind this voice at the Jungle Temple, that has seen recently a change in its rulling, for the Goddess of The Jungle has been killed. It is here where Yharim and Calamitas first met and their relation as co workers started. Calamitas was further trained by Yharim and offered the Witch a vast amount of knowledge, Yharim for a long time was her new and only friend, and for Yharim he soon started to see Calamitas as his own daughter, he taught her everything he knew about the magic of Brimstone, but it was him who took a few lessons from her. They both helped each other grow, however during these good moments of her life, there were also horrendous one as Yharim did not care of her age and recruited her in his army only weeks after their first meeting, offering her a place to stay in the Jungle Temple came with a price, to take part in his crusade against the gods.

Calamitas saw the true horrors that this world has to offer in battle, in the heat of combat she seemed careless of life and incinerated as many as the Tyrant (Yharim) wanted, she soon became his ace card, she was the right hand of Yharim and served him with great loyalty, but deep within her mind, seeing all these horrors from a brain that is still developing, Calamitas' mind was scared from every aspect, it was a mirror to look at herself that is slowly cracking. With each life she took, she started to question that whatever she was doing was right.

Calamitas demonstrated her power and that it could even match the power of gods, its safe to say that some gods were even out leagued by the witch's wrath, the name the Brimstone Witch came during this war, this Crusade. At the near end of this war, Calamitas was tasked with one of the most difficult tasks she got in her life. The Witch was sent to defeat the Goddess of her homeland, Azafure the Capital of the Underworld. The name of this Goddess is Brimmy, she was an elemental made fully from Brimstone and she led her people with kindness, might and wisdom.

Calamitas challenged Brimmy for the right to rule Azafure and recruit the city in Yharim's new order. A clear refusal came from the Goddess and so the battle started. However even tho the battle was in Cal's favor, Brimmy, in order to get a chance over her, taunted Calamitas for being a Asafurian that was born in the overworld and she lied to Calamitas about the reason why her father was exiled from this land, what lie was it exactly ? We don't know, but it was a harsh enough lie to make Calamitas feel a rage she did not feel for many years, ever since she witness the death of her family and this time the consequences were severe. She managed to defeat Brimmy but that wasn't where she stopped, she let her full wrath upon all of Azafure, turning buildings to ash and incinerating people and guards as she lost all control over her actions, she no longer touched the void with her hand, this time she was gazing upon a void that fully devoured her and took control of her actions. At the end of this carnage she was left to look as she slowly calmed down at the pain and suffering over people that had no fault, that were simply living their lives, she stood silent as a little child cried at the death of their family, one of the few survivors of this slaughter. Realizing what she has done, she fell to her knees and sat there crying and yelling for hours, until Yharim came personally to witness the atrocity and try to comfort Calamitas, bringing her back to the temple.

The crusade ended soon, however for Calamitas things did not get any better, the vengeance she wanted now haunts her for the rest of her life and the relation between Yharim and Calamitas grew colder with each passing day. The emotions that were boiling inside Calamitas were growing more unstable with each passing day, she often cried when she was all by herself or she would let her rage out on people doing mistakes around her, usually just verbally. It all came down upon her as a giant hammer over her head when Calamitas discovered, that without her approval, Yharim's Engineer, Draedon, tried cloning and replicating her power. Upon this discovery she incinerated the entire laboratory in which this happened and left Yharim, she never wanted to have something to do with him again and decided to make her own future.

Calamitas wanted a journey to discover herself and to try and come at peace with her past...However The Tyrant had other plans for her. A advantage of this crusade was the looting Yharim did over ancient artefacts, one of them is the knowledge over a curse that could be put on anyone to cause them to obey you or they will face immense suffering. Yharim, as desperate as he was to not lose The Witch, used this curse on her and made Calamitas go through one of her hardest moments of life.

The Curse affected her only mentally, but it made her feel physical pain as well. We described Cal's mind as a mirror, this curse made that mirror shatter and spread the shards a millimeter away each day, the process was extremely painful and for an entire year the witch wandered around Terraria clueless of what was happening to her, why is it happening and who she was. All she knew was pain and suffering that did not let her sleep or rest, she faded in and out of "existence" several times a day and during this she gained her scar on her face, as she scratched at her face to take it stop until she reached the bone.

After a year of enduring this, she finally agreed to the command and returned to Yharim and joined his ranks once again, gaining the title of elite and it was from here where she served him for many years to come...and her process of healing started, however these wounds never fully healed and others still stay open...
