A solid 5 feet, 5 inches tall. A medium build weighing roughly 135 pounds. Long straw blond hair reaches easily to the middle of her back. It is typically tied to one side with a golden ribbon, matching her sash. When off duty she tends to wear simple dresses, with a matching ribbon for her hair. Deep, warm blue eyes generally sparkle, except when sleep becomes a stranger. The color ranges between ripe blueberries, to a deep navy along the outside. She is pretty, as are all yewish females, and her face seems almost childlike, and innocent. Her ears however, stick out from under her hair if she isn't careful about hair placement. They aren't overly large, but they tend to make her appear younger than she actually is, instead of woman of twenty years.

History
Calla was born in Yew, and generally raised in Yew. There were summers spent in Skara Brae as a young child.
Calla is one of four children in the Thorngren household. Two older brothers, and one younger brother. Her mother was well, a full time house mother, and a part-time artist/writer/composer, and her father was an accomplished hunter (never failing to feed a family of 6) and a tinker of sorts.
It also should be noted that she has a cousin in the Militia. A daughter, of her mother's brother. They were not close as children, nor as adults. A feeling of duty and loyalty however has made them both aware of one another, even to the point of allowing Calla a room if her cousins home. It is much nicer than the bunks in the dormitory mind you.
Childhood is a warm, comforting thought to this day.
Calla was taught to think for herself, be independent, and to follow her heart, as well as to write and read. While she can cook decent enough to not starve, and mend a hole in a skirt, she is no great housewife to be. Instead of being adept at those sort of skills, she is instead comfortable with finding someone else to do it for her. She feels no shame in paying another for a plate of cookies, or a crate of dried meat. No remorse for paying a few coins for a pretty dress. Everyone has a purpose, and has something they are amazing at. Dressmaking, cooking and housework are just not the sorts of things Calla happens to be good at.
Her parents have since left Yew for the shores of Skara Brae, and that was the push Calla needed to find a place to call her own, and in turn, join the Militia.

Personality
Calla is sunshine in a bottle for all intensive purposes. Perhaps, that is an overstatement, but she is highly positive, overly friendly and kind. She is warm, and gentle and clearly caring. Always willing to help someone in need. Appropriately aware of her surroundings, and who she is surrounded by. At times there seems to be no mental sieve to prevent things from just slipping out of her mouth. Generally speaking, most things said are come from a heartfelt place, and rarely is she cruel just to be cruel. For that reason she can be somewhat unpredictable. She has been educated, and it is fairly clear she is not a simpleminded typical commoner sort. She is nearly always willing to take a chance, if it appears there is fun to be had. She tends to come across rather chatty, willing to speak to anyone willing to speak to her almost. There are few boundaries that end up making a difference in the end, as to determining someones worth other than their own actions, words or shared thoughts.
That being said, there is a time and a place for most things, and Calla is quite aware of such. Certain qualities are not appreciated in certain circles, and thus can be tuned down for the sake of not being set on fire.
Calla also has a darker side. While it is rare to emerge, there are certain situations or instances that require such
