A simple woman of simple origins, Calandra grew up as many women of the
realm did. An unimportant family in an unimportant village - her family
earned a living and little else. When she was of age, her father arranged a
marriage to a man from a prosperous family. At first she was happy with the
arrangement, but then she met the man she was to marry. To say that he was
a sadistic animal, would be too kind. He was an abomination, an
abberration, a monster of the utmost terror. Every second she spent with
him seemed to drain years from her life. The specific things he did that
made him so evil have been obliterated from her memory. She will neither
remember them nor speak of them. The more time she spent with him, the more
her character changed. She went from being a plain, boring member of the
unwashed masses to becoming something much more sinister. She found power
in her pain and over time she became twisted into a sinister being of
discord. She found her deity through her pain and suffering, and her
connection was strong. She was blessed with many gifts and many strengths.
Her most treasured memory is the look on her dear husband's face as he was unexplicably struck with a bout of blindness, dysentery, plague and hysteria all in the matter of hours. The poor man died from dehydration within a day.
Description:
Standing before you at a height of roughly six feet is what appears to be a human female. Her rough skin appears to have a slight blue tinge and is covered in dark grey bumps that vary in size. Her face appears to have flat features, with a broad nose and a wide mouth. Her eyes are a piercing gray and continually dart around, taking in her surroundings. Her round head is either perfectly shaved or she is unable to make hair. Either way, it is entirely bald but still covered in the grey bumps of varying size.
