So these are our three different designs Callisto has gone through in the past… yeah we improved a lot…

Callie 1 (aka the og design of Callisto) is the brown one. Originally she was Celestia and Discord’s daughter. We had a story that she was born 1,000 years ago back before Luna was sent to the moon. She hid for years with her sidekick purple cloud and survived by hiding her horn or wings and moving between all the cities and towns of Equestria. She was cultured and silly, but had a snobbish sense to her. We can expand on the story later, but… it was quite a bad story.

Callie 2 (aka the second design of Callisto) is the smallest one. This is where we turned around and decided we didn’t ship Discord with Celestia and went for Thorax instead. This Callisto was tough and mean and didn’t take shit from anybody. During this time in our story building, Celestia was a verbally abusive mother that almost got to the point of being physically abusive before Callisto stopped her mother with a burst of powerful magic. It was so different from the original, but it still didn’t feel right and the relationship between her and her siblings felt so… forced. We didn’t like it.

Callie 3 (aka the most recent and probably, maybe, hopefully permanent design for her) is the one on the left. This Callisto is a fully fleshed out character with loving relationships and believable faults and troubles and not a character piece only used to describe living alone for 1000+ years or parental abuse. We did better. Of course all our characters will need better fleshing out but we believe she is our best so far and I (Elise) personally love her the most.

Have some weird dialogue I made up:

Callie 1: The only thing good that they changed between us was my looks. I look like a bedraggled dog. You look like… a princess.

Callie 3: Well, I don’t think you look like a bedraggled dog, I think you look like a bedraggled dog that got hit by a car. snickers

Callie 2: Guys, shut the fuck up, we ain’t gonna figure out how to get back to our own damn universes with the two of y’all bitchin at each other the whole-

Callie 3: Shut your pie hole, short stack.

Callie 1: Shut her pie hole? Do you know how uncultured and ludicrous you sound? I would never say shut up, let alone shut your pie hole.

Callie 3: Well then we can obviously see the upgrade.
