In another timeline, an alternate Calliope predominated over her brother Caliborn.
Biography[]
Unlike the alpha Calliope, this Calliope had no contact with the alpha kids, resulting in a hardening of her character sufficient to have her predominate over Caliborn. As Caliborn did in the alpha timeline, Calliope took her defeated brother's blood color for her text and his lowercase letter u for her quirk.
Despite attaining the immortality of the god tiers, Calliope's dead session was not designed for her to overcome, and she was forced to seek out the “mother of monsters” and undergo The Choice. Calliope chose the path of the Martyr and was killed, waiting in a dark pocket within a dark and isolated dream bubble for her alpha counterpart's appearance in the afterlife. During this wait she encountered a sleeping Jade Harley, who she informed of the reasons for John Egbert and Davesprite's deaths in the explosion of the Land of Wind and Shade.
Eventually, alpha Calliope arrives with Jade in tow, sending the signal that “the furthest ring around [her] had uncoiled itself momentarily” and become navigable enough for the alternate Calliope to complete her promise to Echidna. Telling alpha Calliope simply to “live”, to be the person she never had the opportunity to be, the alternate Calliope leaves her behind and heads to the with Jade.
Calliope explains to Jade the nature of the Furthest Ring, but avoids describing their exact task; when the pair finally do arrive, she explains that “[Jade] needed to accompany [her] on this journey, so that time could pass”. Though Jade would rather join the fight than sleep through it, Calliope suggests that great power is more of a liability than an asset, and hints that the will not exist for much longer, offering Jade the chance to say goodbye to it before Calliope herself leaves.
Calliope proceeds to generated a black hole which immediately begins to consume the , as a consequence swelling to the mass of two universes and tearing apart the broken fabric of the Furthest Ring itself. This black hole then finally absorbs Lord English, fulfilling Calliope's side of Echidna's bargain.[citation needed]
Personality and traits[]
Likely thanks to her lack of outside interaction during her time on Earth, this Calliope is much more somber and serious in nature than the alpha Calliope, never seen smiling and never using exclamation marks. Whether she maintained an interest in drawing and visual art is not known; both Calliopes do, however, share in a love of telling stories. Because she actually had the chance to play Sburb and reach the god tiers, the alternate Calliope knows even more about the game and her title than her alpha counterpart[citation needed] and is willing to talk about what she knows at length, sharing in her knowledge about Space with Jade.
