Calliope Panea

Early Life
Calliope was homeschooled until she entered high school, due to her parents' distrust of the public school system. She wished to finally have a social life, to experience high school life outside of academics. Her gift, though, still in it's human form, meant that Calliope was easily overwhelmed by the climate of her enourmous high school. She couldn't pay attention in any of her classes, couldn't make friends, and felt like there was nothing she had to live for. No one understood her. One night, she sat in her bedroom with a broken piece of her mirror and slit her wrists, planning on dying.

The scent of her blood, though, drew the attention of a vampire who enjoyed inflicting pain on humans and vampires. He decided to change Calliope, and faked her death. Throughout her transformation, Calliope was barraged with sounds - the music of her surroundings, mostly of her creator. She knew that he meant her no good. When her transformation finished, she attacked. He was unprepared for a fight, and unwilling to destroy his new creation, so Calliope was able to destroy him. Being a newborn vampire, though, Calliope did not know to burn the remains.

Luckily, before Calliope could wander far, a pair of nomads found her: Peter and Charlotte. They felt sorry for the newborn, who had been transformed without warning and who knew nothing about the vampire world, so they stayed with her for her first year and taught her about her new life. The mostly benign natures of her companions meant that the music was mostly tolerable for Calliope, though she still was extremely shy and solitary. After she became able to control herself around humans, Calliope parted from the pair on amiable terms.

Calliope wandered across the continent, mostly keeping to herself. One day, she stumbled across an unusual music: a girl who was neither vampire nor human. She became curious and, instead of staying away, decided to follow the girl, all the way to Italy.
