Calista looked around the room, unsure if they would trust her once she revealed the true nature of her powers. Unlike most of them, she hadn't been born with any abilities or been doted upon by Gods to get them. Lillith in her mind was a God but she knew many still considered her the mother of all demons thanks to the influence of the Catholic church that still reigned upon them nowadays. She had a lot to explain to them about her past, but hopefully they would let her stay enough to have her explain her history one day.<br/><br/>Unsure of how she should have dressed for such on occassion (being named a new Avenger wasn't something that happened everyday, after all), Calista picked a black, long-sleeved dressed that fell all the way down to the ground with white and silver knitted flowers. chain decorated with little silver flowers was intricately woven into her braid, a pair of black boots on her feet.<br/><br/>Sensing it was her turn to speak, she stepped forward and bit her lower lip nervously. Was she trying to impress them or make them concerned?<br/><br/>"I'm Calista Calix. I was born in Catalonia during the Spanish Inquisition." Calista said softly, silently wondering if they would believe her or if they would write her off as a lunatic. "My story is long and complicated, so I'll keep it short and sweet. I sold my soul to the demon Lillith in exhange for a new chance at life after almost dying being kept captive by the Inquisition. Lillith gave me more than I bargained for and made me a witch... a<i>bruja." </i><br/><br/>Calista placed her bottle of water on the table, extending her hands towards it. The liquid inside began to flow upwards until all the water was levitating above the bottle in a perfect sphere. She lowered the sphere back into the container and put the cap back on, glancing back at them. "I can do elemental magic, healing magic and dark magic. Though I would save this last one only for emergencies. And I'm also half-demon," she stated bluntly, unsure of how they would react to that last part.<br/><br/>"If you want me to walk away, I can go right ahead. I told Strange that people still aren't keen on demons nowadays unless you're a Satanist. There are a lot of good demons, though... like Lillith." Calista said softly, trying to convince them that she wasn't bad simply because of her nature. "I completely understand if my presence offends your religious natures."
