"I'm in the business of breaking hearts, not binding them."
Spoken more than once, that line was very true. The red panda certainly was not known for being a loving wife and parent, that much was easy to see. Born to a tramp-like mother, the child had no father to speak of and was soon left to the streets to fend for herself. Deciding against following in her mother's footsteps, she was determined to become something desirable and unique.
In time she made quite a name for herself as an entertainer; a dancer and singer to be more specific. She had talent and a figure, two traits that gave her an edge when it came to getting her way. Though show business came easily to her, it didn't always return as much of a profit as she had hoped for. She wanted to be pampered, more so than the life on the stage had treated her to.
After her career in show business, the darling became an escort. She passed from one rich man to the next, allowing them to buy her time with precious gems and exquisite trinkets. It wasn't long before that, too, began to bore the little dove. That was when she met her darling Vincent.
As much as she adored the wolf, he was away often, leaving the darling lonely more than not.
As time passed, the woman became more and more bitter. She grew tired of the routine she had fallen into, and was beyond bored with the men that bought her time. Their wallets would only open up as long as she kept them entertained... but dead men didn't need wallets, did they? The beauty discovered there was a certain thrill in poisoning her customers, and then waiting as they slowly succumbed to their arsenic laced liquors. Guildereim boasted plenty of places to discard of bodies if one knew where to look. Now, once again armed to the teeth with her flirtatious conversational skills and overwhelming self confidence, Calixte is looking for work in the entertainment business... Or at least that's what she will claim.
"Be careful, love. Perhaps it's better to look but not touch... though the temptation is hard to deny." -
Occupations
Bartender Although bar tending did not bring with it the glamour that the woman desired, it didn't leave her pockets empty, either. Cali was an excellent server, and her ability to charm just about anyone with her voice lead her employer to suggest she take a crack at stage life.
Entertainer/Burlesque Queen: Cali took a shot at entertainment in a more direct way after her bar tending as a singer, dancer, and eventually a burlesque performer. Her voice is rich, like red velvet with a hint of buttercream frosting, enticing and smooth, a proud alto for sure. She was a star - she sang and danced at a collection of establishments that paid her handsomely. Eventually, the woman began to dabble in burlesque, especially as her wardrobe began to grow.
Escort*: Although the red panda greatly enjoyed all of the attention she received as an entertainer, she wanted more downtime than she was currently receiving. Therefore, she began to attach herself to patrons individually more often and take to the stage less and less. Eventually the woman formed for herself a new sort of occupation, one in which, should she find someone attractive, she could coerce them into paying her for her undivided attention. Glorified arm candy with a mind of her own, that's what she was, and she loved it. All the luxury she could ever ask for while she played by her own rules. That was... until she actually fell for someone else.
*Note: Cali was never and will never be a prostitute. Her services as a escort were primarily companionship, so in a way, but her attentions were focused on one individual or a long period of time, rather than on a night to night basis. She was set up with a regular salary, and often times received lodging as well. Sex was voluntary on her part, not required, and had no "fee" associated with it. Her strengths in the art of conversation and her loveliness were the features she was selling, which she would devote to one individual at a time. She was not a slave.
