=== The Genesis of the [[Fanon:Beauty 4|Beauty 4]] ===

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">Kallisto, having the loner trait, initially disapproved of the Beauty 4's general direction of becoming virtual superstars, responding to the general affinity for parties and socialization by staying put upstairs, complete with tools to carry out the needed activities. As her social interactions with housemates were limited, Kallisto barely maintained friendships with the housemates, while successfully mastering the invention skills (and handiness skills) necessary to build a Simbot. However, the new problem involved the acquisition of a Pink Diamond: Kallisto therefore had to give in to the general Beauty 4's direction, and even Kallisto who liked to stay put had to capitulate due to her need and thus Kallisto accompanied the others to China, taking what little comfort being forced into sharing a camp with foreigners in the fact that Stratonike did the same thing for the same reason. In fact, Kallisto before she had been given the assignment to obtain a pink diamond expected the materials to be readily available at home, to the point where Kallisto vehemently refused any of Demetria's nagging for a group trip.</p>

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">Kallisto: No. For crying out loud, I'm supposed to be forever alone and be proud about it.</p>

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">Demetria: Jeez. Why are you so devoid of fun?</p>

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">Kallisto: Fine, fine. You are as persistent as a... whatever. But then I insist that we first go to China.</p>

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">Demetria: Whatever. But you better be ready for trips elsewhere.</p>

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">Kallisto: Let us get on with it already.</p>

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; ">At China, it was only apparent that Demetria would go tomb raiding while Kallisto and Thessalonike would go to the Academy (Kallisto chose the book path first, however). Kallisto found the entire ordeal quite overrated, but Kallisto pushed onward only because of the Simbot dream that she had. Kallisto had no intention of going to China again, and ensured that equipments were purchased to make the task easier much to Thessalonike's joy. Having gotten the materials, Kallisto eventually built her first batch of simbots, starting with Briseis, followed by Eurylochos, Selene and Hieron in that order. As a part of the deal with Demetria, Kallisto also accompanied Demetria et al to France. Kallisto had no intention of idly wasting time, and immediately proceeded to learn Nectar Learning simply because Kallisto thought it was rad (well, over the more popular thing to do in France, such as romance or adventures or art). Kallisto also felt that because the Simbots were relatively new that they lacked a proper political force, sending her simbots out as an independent group in Sunset Valley to occupy the former Crumplebottom residence (by then, most of the first generation had died out, including the Alkmaionids, the reason why Eurydike's role was minor until the second time warp)</p>
