I have finally been enabled...

...into picking up another canon character. :)

This is Drea (Rachel-mun) bringing in Urania's big sister Calypso, who's 35 and been away from the Deck for seven-ish years. Her full history etc. is here, but the basics are this: Born in the same old Spades family, was taught to be the perfect Spade and was actually pretty devoted to it, getting up to Seven until Victor (yes, that Victor) killed her twin sister, Echo. Her death prompted her to leave the Deck, and she wandered about the world for a few months before ending up in Texas, where she met Galen Montrose, who later became her husband. They married and were very happy together before Galen was killed in action in Afghanistan. That was about eight months ago, and since then she's been trying to deal with some serious depression and figure out her life again.

Now she's coming back. Absence has dropped her back down to a Five. People will also likely find her a little kinder and a lot less ambitious.

Oh. And she's also coming in with three kids: 4-year old Callisto and the bb!twins Lycus and Priam.

C'mon and hit me with your best shot CR, guys. <3

Adrien knows her~! And she will probably be surprised to find him in Diamonds Suit? Oh timelines. :D

:| He would apologize but it just wouldn't be believable. EVER. Woman shouldn't have challenged him. :|

Also- She'd probably remember Hadyn when be was a baby Spade.

:D

Urania will be torn about this, obviously. XD She's gotten used the solitary crazy thing over the years, but as we discussed, she does love her sister and the babies. Oh, the babies. XD

Urania is planning to challenge up to Six in April probably. So that might be iiiiinteresting.

"Shit son, girlfriend's family" pretty much sums it up. He'll try to make a good impression? And probably fail. But he tends to get along with kids. Get along as in brush their hair mercilessly while loving them forever and ever with all of his stupid soft heart. Ha, I don't know, how would she even react to his Isaacness?

I have a Spadebaby, Oliver, but he's ten years younger than her so I don't know if they'd have known each other. He hasn't grown much though. XDD

So I do not think she and Sandy have ever met. Ever. Sandy's family might be known prior to Calypso's departure but this little half Irish-American half Outsider kid is new. But she's friendly?

And I suspect Chris has never had the chance to meet Cal. Makes sense, old family with little connection to a school teacher (even a smart and fairly hard to intimidate one). HOWEVER he absolutely understand the depression thing. Though he wouldn't call himself depressed.

Also, I love Cal for she's a blonde Spade. ♠♠

I have absolutely no idea what CR there is with Julien and Calypso.

7ish years ago is right around the time Julien became Ace if I remember the timeline right (all I remember is somewhre between 7 and 10 years ago, LOL, someone check for me....I can't brain anymore).

Rather doubt she's had much contact with the others.

I have no idea if she knew Tsuna before he managed to become joker somehow. He was a pain in the ass, generally. Which he still is, whoa! But waaaaaaaaaaay more atrociously acting-outy when he was a teeny.

If she hung out with Athena ever than she most surely knew Tsuna. Although if she did, she probably wouldn't recognize him now which could be kinda fun? Idk.

And with Eli being new they'll just have to build their own cr in game.

Annie left before Calypso and came back after. Urania used to babysit Annie, so Calypso might have too. She'll at the very least have been aware of Annie and her brothers.

...whoops. We should. Backstory. Chives and Urania were not-un-friends back in the day before all the shit went down.
