Calantha Au Valencia

Biography
Calantha is the eldest of the Valencia children. Growing up under the strict eye of her mother Cassandra, Calantha was taught to use a razor as soon as she could hold one. She proved to be surprisingly skilled at a young age, wanting nothing more than her mothers approval. This need for approval grew as her younger brother, Sylvester, began to prove not as talented as his older sister and took more of a liking to the Elk than his studies.

When she turned 16, she received her letter from the Martian Institute (a few years prior to the Reaper and company)  where she was just below the highDraft selection. Calantha was then selected to be in House Venus where she quickly became a favorite among her housemates due to her determined drive to bring her House to glory, and again, to further gain her mothers approval.She earned the title of archPrimus, falling short of the Primus title which was given to another Gold girl who Calantha secretly liked, but never confessed her feelings to.

Once she returned home, Cassandra gifted Calantha with a Pink named Nathaniel, who she then gifted to her younger brother, Sylvester since she was not interested in both Pinks and men alike. This leads to the death of both the Pink and her mother after Cassandra finds out of Sylvester and Nathaniels relationship. No longer under the judgemental shadow of mother, Calantha found herself in a limbo of not knowing what to do with her life. While she continued to train and advance her razor skills, she decided to help her father Pan with shipments and the selling of their prized Ceresian Elk. She continues on this path for a few years only to return home days prior to the siege of Ceres brought on by the Ash Lord. This event then inspires Calantha to gather a small group of her own where she and said group went around punishing Pro Society groups in secrecy while she continues running her fathers transportation services of their Elk. This is the beginnings of the Renegade Herd, which will grow in numbers as the years go by and the Rising begins in earnest.

Upon arriving to The Morning Star after breaking through the Ash Armada, Kilian O' Lykos gave Calantha the title of Praetor in the Second Fleet.
