Calliope doesn't much like magic users, but she is more of indifferent to both of the other races.
{ "in the evening i'll warm the bed" }
All nymphs are able to slightly shift their elements to benefit nature around them, carrying a slight empathy with the things living within those elements. While Dryads are capable of healing sick and injured plants to the point of even spurring plant growth, the Naiads are able to bring a once dry spring back to bubbling life. Naiads tend to those things within the ocean, capable of creating salt water to a small pool with but a touch. While these little gestures are just that -small- influence, they are distinct gifts of their purpose as caretakers of their elements and the life that blooms, crawls, flies or swims within it.
Nymphs are able to draw small amounts of moisture from the air, when they need to. Squeezing their empty fist, as if holding a sponge will cause a small amount of fresh water to spill upon the ground. This is very useful to
Because of this knowledge, and because of Gaea's need for her Nymphs, they are immune to plant poisons, and will not suffer from things like poison ivy. Hemlock tea, drunken by a Nymph, will not harm her, although she might be displeased by its bitter taste. Nymphs share a limited empathy as well, with the wild creatures that populate their elements. Such creatures will never attack a Nymph, unless under extreme circumstances,

{ Strengths }
âGaea's Grace- A naiad who has been damaged, or found herself wounded only needs to seek out a body of water that Gaea has bonded her with. By immersing herself in the water her Creator has provided, she will fall into a state of slumber that lasts for 12 hours. Upon awakening, the Naiad will find herself totally healed, and her body restored to the beauty that Gaea crafted, no worse for the wear.
{ Weaknesses }
âEasily Distracted- While a naiad can be clever, it is not her fault that at times she can be utterly overcome with sensation. This in and of itself,makes it easier to soothe a Nymph into the sweeter nature that seems to always be underneath the surface of their 'wraith'. âTouch- Nymphs find themselves unable to focus when someone begins to place skin to their skin. While this action might anger another race, for the Nymph it signals one of two things. Walk away, or give in to the want.
{ Personality }
âReserved âIntrospective âQuiet âCloset Rocker âCurious
{ Reserved }
At many times Calliope can be found by herself, keeping her own thoughts and motives in her own little bubble. She tries to be very respectable and will try not to give into any temptation that she comes across. She will often be found on her couch, reading a book when in this kind of mood.
{ Introspective }
She watches. Even when she isn't looking at you, she analyzes everything around her. She can build a good outlook on you by the way you speak, look, and even walk. She keeps this locked up and it's almost like a game to her, wanting to see if she was right and keeping score.
{ Outspoken }
Even though she is normally very quiet, Calliope will not hesitate to speak out for her beliefs and ideas. It often gets her in trouble but she ends up
{ Closet Rocker }
Bright lights. Loud music. Lurkers of the night. That's what Calliope loves the most but she keeps it in the closet. ( So she thinks.... ) Everyone knows she loves rock music but the others just keep it a secret that they know.
{ Curious }
Curious nature like a cat, this girl loves to question the nature of everything. It often leads her to trouble that sometimes she can't get out of. This is sometimes when the other monsters helped her out.
{ "and the stars are exploding in your eyes" }
They were often the object of archaic local cults, worshipped as essential to humans. Boys and girls at coming-of-age ceremonies dedicated their childish locks to the local naiad of the spring. In places like Lerna their waters' ritual cleansings were credited with magical medical properties. Animals were ritually drowned there. Oracles might be situated by ancient springs.
Naiads could be dangerous: Hylas of the Argo's crew was lost when he was taken by naiads fascinated by his beauty. The naiads were also known to exhibit jealous tendencies. Theocritus' story of naiad jealousy was that of a shepherd, Daphnis, who was the lover of Nomia or Echenais; Daphnis had on several occasions been unfaithful to Nomia and as revenge she permanently blinded him. Salmacis forced the youth Hermaphroditus into a carnal embrace and, when he sought to get away, fused with him.
The water nymph associated with particular springs was known all through Europe in places with no direct connection with Greece, surviving in the Celtic wells of northwest Europe that have been rededicated to Saints, and in the medieval Melusine.
Walter Burkert points out, "When in the Iliad Zeus calls the gods into assembly on Mount Olympus, it is not only the well-known Olympians who come along, but also all the nymphs and all the rivers; Okeanos alone remains at his station", Greek hearers recognized this impossibility as the poet's hyperbole, which proclaimed the universal power of Zeus over the ancient natural world: "the worship of these deities," Burkert confirms, "is limited only by the fact that they are inseparably identified with a specific locality."
{ Her History }
Calliope was born of Gaea. Her ever faithful mother gave her life, molding her into the lovely young maiden she is today. During her first years of being alive she spent most of her time haunting the nearby ocean piers and just messing with people. She was known as the Seaward Specter but what the people didn't know was the fact that it was a young Naiad girl that caused the trouble. She slowly grew out of this spirit and took residence in an apartment after a few years of working while still living under the boardwalk. She now confidently lives in that apartment alone.
