Fatal flaw: 

• Pacifist - Violence is not her thing. Point blank. She will not raise a hand or weapon, most of the time not even her voice, at another person. She believes it doesn't solve anything and she doesn't like seeing people hurt to top it off.
• Water - This includes ponds, lakes, oceans, and even pools. Due to an accident when she was younger, she is terrified of large bodies of water. She can sit a good distance away but she won't go near the edge or in the water. If forced she will have a panic attack and break down. This involves crying, shaking, hyperventilating and all that horrible stuff that goes along with it.
• Squeamish - Tying closely with being a pacifist, Callie doesn't like the sight of blood or anything coming from a person's body really. She has a weak stomach, so she's likely to get queasy and light headed.

Your beginning was not perfect, but it was good enough. You lived with your single mother who took care of you as she should have and loved you like a mother should love her child. At least that's what it had seemed like. You couldn't see how bitter your mother actually was about the fact that she was raising a kid by herself, because your father just happened to be someone that couldn't stay with her. She really loved you though, right? Deep down maybe, but she was never sure given the circumstances. She sure liked to tell herself she did. That's why she kept you. But the truth was, you would never be enough for her and that wouldn't be clear to you until a man came into the picture.

When you were three years old, your mother met a man who had a son already, and married him within the year. You liked him well enough and tried your best to get along with his son who was seven at the time. Things were different though. She spent more time with her husband, and started to slowly forget about you needing to be her priority. Even your new step-father's son seemed to be better cared for than you. Maybe it was because he was his and your mother didn't want anything to happen between her and the man she loved. She didn't want to lose him, and apparently treating his child with better care and love than her own child was what would keep him. That's what her mind came up with.

A year later you were introduced to your new baby brother. You were four and Jackson, your step-brother, was eight. The new baby was a son and he was named Colton. You were fascinated by this new baby despite the fact you would only be pushed to the back even more. Still, as you and your half-brother aged, he was kind to you and you to him. He was the one you were actually close to in the family. 

In fact, if it weren't for him, you'd probably be dead. At the age of ten, you and your family went to the beach for the day. It was time to be packing up and leaving, but you were still out in the water and a little too far at that. Colton was the only one, at six years old to realize you were not with the group. His large childish eyes caught sight of you as a wave took you under. Fear came over you just as quickly as that wave had. You came above water to hear your brother screaming that you were in trouble, but you were soon taken under again. The next thing you knew, everything went black and you were waking up in the hospital.

After that incident, you wouldn't even go near large bodies of water, especially oceans. They all terrified you to no end. However, the bond you had with your little brother grew. He saved your life. Sure, he wasn't the one to pull you out, but he was the only one to notice you. Soon, that little slice of recognition would be gone. A divorce struck between your mother and step-father after he was caught cheating. Your mother, being the bitter and angry woman she tends to be, didn't want anything that would remind her of him. So, that meant giving full custody of Colton to his father. So once again, it was just you and your mother. Well, more just you seeing as you were taking care of yourself at that point. You had to seeing as the woman worked and drank. That was pretty much it. 

You're sixteen now, and it was only a few days ago that you learned of your true heritage. In a drunken stupor, your mother spilled the beans about who you were and who your true father was. Shocked and confused, you didn't know how to react. Part of you thought maybe it was just a joke or something. She was drunk after all. But when someone showed up to take you away to Camp Half-blood that quickly proved that assumption to be wrong. Your claiming came the first afternoon you were at camp. You spent the time with some of the staff to figure out where you belonged and to see what you were capable of. You wouldn't fight in the spar to see your fighting skills. One, you didn't know how to. Two, you didn't want to hurt anyone, or yourself. You were knocked to the ground by the boy of your age, your elbow splitting open to allow a quick flow of blood to escape. The sight made you sick and left you light headed for a moment, but only just, as your elbow healed quickly leaving you startled. It was announced that you would be in Apollo's cabin. Now that that was over, you just hoped you'd survive the rest of your time at camp. All you knew was everyone there was pretty much like you and in the morning, you would have a tour of the place by one of your fellow campers.
