Name: Calpurnia Karnstein
Age: 19
Parents: Queen Elsa of Arendelle (Elsa) and Countess Mircalla von Karnstein (Carmilla)
Personality: Picture what a thirteen year old girl who listens to too much punk rock music would think is “cool,” and you pretty much have her. Her parents were two sardonic, cool, confident, and sexy lesbians, and she seems to have distilled that personality into a newer container. She radiates this self-possessed cool and seems to always have a handle on things, even when she very much does not have a handle on any of the things in her life. She never quite comes off as cocky: just coolly confident and generally with the chops to be able to back up her own swagger.
Thus she doesn’t really care what other people think about her, beyond wanting an audience. See, she happened to also pick up her mother’s natural voices, which means that she has one hell of a singing voice with quite a lot of punch to it. She’s taken that to the stage, regularly fronting various pop punk bands and throwing herself into performances. It’s very likely to find her singing or composing, when she’s not drinking and having a fun time just being herself.
She’s also a dhampyr, half-vampire, half-magical mortal, and boy, does she love reveling in that. She’ll pretty much dismiss the fact that she’s royalty/nobility two different ways though.
Appearance: She’s pale. So pale. That’s what happens when one parent is a vampire and the other’s a literal ice queen. She’s got a leanness to her that comes off as almost hard and jagged, again a side effect of her raising. Probably doesn’t help that she dresses like she’s about to get into a fight: wearing ragged clothes and baggy outfits. She looks like she’s ready to either brawl in an alley or hang out with some chill dudes or kick off a new show, seeming to alternate between the three at the slightest whim.
Her hair is naturally pure white, just like Elsa's. She frequently dyes it in different colors, changing it almost at random (and it may be magical? Depends on who she can convince to do the dye job). There's definitely something alternate about her style and the way she carries herself.
She also happens to carry herself with utter confidence, slinking from place to place. There’s something almost feline in her manner and her posture (and she might just be able to turn into a cat of some kind…) Think Cheshire and you’re not too far off.
History:
Magic had to happen here, since there were no surrogates or whatnot involved. She was simply born out of a mixture of spells, which is what happened when one of your mothers knew Merlin on a first name basis. She came out as pale as moonlight, with pale white hair and milky white skin. Her mothers loved her quite a lot, and they happened to be quite excellent mothers. They both made sure to teach her about their respective worlds, as well as taking her to Trenale regularly, promising that she’d go to school there eventually.
It’s also worth noting that she grew up with most of her mothers’ friends and families, so yes, she was babysat by Uncle Olaf, played with Aunt Anna, teased grumpy Uncle Kristoff, and got to know several of the closer friends and families. This helped boost her confidence, which gave her some pretty gnarly control over her natural abilities, of which she got the lion’s share.
It was actually her idea to hold back on heading to Trenale for a bit: she figured she should practice her abilities so she wouldn’t hurt anyone. Plus, it let her figure out music and start practicing that. Her parents soon discovered her knack for that (helped along by singing lessons with literally everyone in her extended family but Kristoff). Music became her main thing, and she now had something in mind to really focus on when she got to Trenale.
Thus she opted to finally arrive, and bring a little “coolness” into the mix, as it were.
