## Biography

*"I'm sick of "Inheritance", Calista help me"*

\_\_Calliope begs Calista to help her

Calliope Vole was born 8 April 1912 to Gervaise and Sapphire Vole (née Shafiq) , who gave her a rich lifestyle and raised her to be proud of her pure-blood heritage. She was the elder sister of Calista and half-sister with Geraint Vole, living in an ancient manor standing on a cliff by the shore, disguised to look like a castle ruin to the muggle eye.

As an eldest child, she enjoyed being pampered and grew to be a little spoilt, until a child was born when she was two. At first, she was a little jealous of all the attention the little girl was getting but slowly, she grew to love her and forgive her parents for dividing their attention. She has no major trouble at home; she respects and loves her parents.On the contrary, she hates her father's bastard child with another woman, bringing it home, which makes her disgusted.

Callie had almost no childhood because she had to learn many things to become the heir of the Vole family, rarely going out to play with her family and sister.

## Physical appearance

was a breathtakingly beautiful witch, and hence caught a good deal of attention from many males. She was tall and willowy, with an air of grace that made her seem like she was gliding when she was walking, and her very presence seemed to "*emanate a faint, silvery glow*". She had long, silvery-blonde hair that fell almost to her waist, large, deep blue eyes, fair skin, and very white, even teeth.

## Personality and traits

In her youth, Calliope was arrogant and conceited. Because of her beauty and noble background, she saw herself as 'a cut above' most others. For instance, when William Burgess Wanting to shake hands with her, she *"look at the lowly hero who wants to shake hands with me, disgusting"*. Her only redeeming feature seemed to be her genuine concern for her sister (Calista).

She believes that the more people you have wrapped around your thumb, the more they will owe you, and she works around this belief so that she can be able to fend for herself. That's not to say that she is fake to everyone, however. She just keeps a good relationship with most people, even to those she dislikes, as she believes she has a way with her words that will make people like her despite the situation. She is generally amicable to people she meets but she is stubborn with getting what she wants and can get a bit irritable when this happens. She will not relent to just whoever, and one must be a close, personal friend or family member for her to change her mind. She likes doing things things in a different way, oftentimes bringing her to trouble, which she doesn't mind as long as she gets what she wants done.
