Amedeo Patrizo Callisto [father]: Amedeo moved to England from Italy with his twin brother, Amos, when the two were ten years old.

Alicia Cremont [mother]: Alicia came from a wealthy family. She attended Hogwarts and was placed in Ravenclaw. When her parents died she inherited a great deal of money as well as land. Now not only does the family enjoy a house in London, they also have two summer homes. One in Vancouver, Canada, the other in Florence, Italy.
Antonio Stefano Callisto [brother]: Antonio is a year older than Sage, but they have always been very close. Nobody really understands how they get along so well, but both think the same way: patronizing and criticizing people or things they don’t approve of. Antonio is very quiet, and seldom opens up to anybody unless he gets to know him or her really well. He is training to teach in Italy, for he speaks Italian fluently, but he still hasn’t entirely decided what subject he would like to focus on

Physical Description: Sage has long black hair with a slight wave, which is usually pulled into a sleek knot in the back of her head. She is very pale which is strange considering her Italian background. She is also very petite and, although you’d never know it because she’s always wearing heels, she’s only about 5’4. She is very skinny and only weighs around 110. Her eyes are an exotic shade of ashy green. They stand out against her light skin, helped along by her dark eyeliner and green mascara. Sage is your average teenager when it comes to clothing, she goes with whatever styles are "in" but always has her jeans and t-shirts to fall back on when she's ready to start something important.


Personality

Personality: Sage is one of the people some would call overbearing. She has always been the louder of her and her brother, Antonio, who is quiet and shy. She is more independent and likes to be alone especially when she is thinking. Sage is a very resourceful person and can easily get what she wants. She likes to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations because they sometimes provide useful information. She’s not beyond stealing things or breaking and entering; in fact she’s done both before. Her family is pureblood which has given her a profound sense of self. She fully believes that Muggle borns are unworthy of being included in the magical world. Sage also has a nasty habit of catching people in the act of misbehaving. Although she is probably capable of doing the same thing (and most likely already has) she won’t show mercy unless you can give her something she wants. Getting on the wrong side of Sage Callisto is usually not on the list of things you want to do.
Relationships and Social Skills: Sage is a very sociable person. She likes to talk and gossip and thoroughly enjoys her mother’s parties. She doesn’t really have any best friends because she feels the only person who can keep her secrets is herself. She does have a group of good friends though, who she hangs out with while at school. She does what teenagers do with their friends, talks, gossips, goes boy hunting. When Sage is with her family at home she isn’t her loud obnoxious self. Since there’s nothing exciting to do she spends most of her time creating new potions and testing them on her brothers owl. When Sage is with her brother she likes to take control. She knows exactly what she wants to do and uses Antonio to help her do it. When meeting new people she is usually cold and suspicious. You have to earn her trust or you’ll never see her smile.
Weaknesses: Sage has an awful temper. She’s been known to blow things up (not purposely!) when she gets angry and starts yelling. Her temper has always annoyed her because it can get in the way and cause trouble. Once she was brewing a new potion in her cauldron and was thinking about how her brother wouldn’t let her in his room, (it wasn’t just locked by hand, there were charms too) and as she was stirring the cauldron it exploded, sending the contents flying everywhere, including onto Sage! It turned her skin green and she had to spend an hour trying to figure out how to get it back to normal. Sage hates having to fix her mistakes, she hates being wrong. Sage has a Napoleon Complex, an inferiority complex suffered by people who are short. Basically, she thinks that she is better than everyone else and should always be right.
Strengths: Sage is exceptionally bright. Not only is she smart but she is very good at magic. Potions and Charms are probably her best subjects, although she goes seemingly effortlessly through the rest of her classes. She excels in doing spells without saying them aloud, like her father, who liked to help Sage practice whenever he was able.


Past, Present, and Future

History:

Sage was born on August 15, 1989 in Florence, Italy. And although she now lives in England, she spent most of her early years living in Florence. Her mother had inherited an olive plantation there. Sage never had many friends in Italy because there was no one nearby that was her age. Her brother, Antonio, was her only companion.

Amedeo Callisto was born in Italy. He later moved to England where he and his twin brother attended Hogwarts. When he finished his 7th year he took a job with the ministry as ambassador to Italy. During his travels he met a rich young lady, Alicia Creamont, who he married soon after.

Amedeo had to travel a lot in his work. When Sage was 6 they had to move to England. They were able to keep their house in Florence because Alicia had inherited a bit of money and Amedeo had a good salary. Still, Sage had always lived in Italy and was a little upset about having to move. That was nothing compared to Antonio, he was devastated about leaving Florence.

Sage easily adapted to England and soon gave up speaking Italian. Antonito was accepted to Hogwarts and Sage had a year of being an only child. She spent her time studying magic with her father, whenever he was home. The next year Sage was accepted to Hogwarts herself. During summer breaks they stayed at their summer homes, one in Vancouver and the other in Florence.

Earlier this summer, sometime in June, Sage was up late working on her newest potion. It was around midnight when she heard a noise, like a thunk. She walked quietly into the other room and found a girl taking their jewels and money out of their safe! Sage made her turn over the jewels and then let her down. She made her teach her how to pick locks, break into houses, steal things without being heard. She let the girl go and told her never to enter her house again. She never found out the girl’s name but it wouldn’t be the last time she saw her.

Here and Now: Presently Sage is dealing with the death of her grandmother. Not that she really knew her well, or even liked her for that matter. Just that she’s noticed her grandmother had always invited her cousin, Acacia, over to have long chats. This had always bothered Sage. It wasn’t that she wanted to be liked by her grandmother, she just wanted to know what was so important that Acacia had to visit every Tuesday. Sage had always wanted to know what it was they talked about and now that her grandmother is dead, Acacia is the only link left.
Long-term Outlook: Sage has always loved potions. She has always aspired to teach potions. She hopes to one day get that job at Hogwarts and perhaps she’ll even end up has head of Slytherin. Although this is what she hopes to become, she’ll probably just end up succeeding her father as ambassador to Italy.

RP Sample:
(This scene took place 7 years ago in Sage’s life)

It was a cloudy day in London, rain pouring from the dark clouds. A small girl looked out the window at the miserable weather. ‘There is no way I’m going outside in this weather.’ Today was the day her brother, Antonio, was leaving for Hogwarts. Sage was supposed to go along with her family to the station to say goodbye, although she really didn’t want to.

“Come on Sage! It’s time to go!” her mother called up the stairs. Sage grumbled as she slowly made her way down the stairs. There was no getting out of this. She grabbed her coat and umbrella and stomped grudgingly out the glass doors. She ran quickly to the limo and slid into the seat beside her brother.

Antonio was nervous, Sage could tell. He seemed uptight and twitchy and his slouch was worse than usual. She actually pitied her older brother, for he had never had many friends and now, with him going off to a new school, he surely wouldn’t have anyone at all. Sage’s thoughts soon turned away from her brother. She watched the gloomy sky through the window of the fast moving limo, trying to discover its secrets.
