'''Kallistrata Pellaia''' (alias Callistrata of [[wikipedia:Pella|Pella]], grc: Καλλιστρατα/Καλλιστρατη Πελλαια), created 20th of July of 1991 at Pella, is the effective right-hand character to Kallisto in the Big 6. Kallistrata is introduced to the playing field at the time of the aftershock of Romance Heresy, entering Sunset Valley right after [[Fanon:Lysistrata Amphipolita|Lysistrata]] and [[Fanon:Stratonike Attalida|Stratonike]] left the Union of the Insane due to strained relationships. Kallistrata is also a key character, helping Kallisto create her [[Fanon:Ecclesiarchy#Kallisto's Codex|codex]] and one of the three involved in enacting the codex (other one being [[Fanon:Hypatia Pydnaia|Hypatia]]) Kallistrata's unique factor is 1) her complete lack of music skils whatsoever (Stratonike had 1 point in piano, Kallisto 1 in guitar, Eurydike 2 in bass, and Hypatia 4 in guitar), 2) Her completion of various challenges, including all challenges for the Invention and Painting skills, and 3)being innately immortal, not requiring the age freeze potion whatsoever. Kallistrata has mastered Writing, Painting, Sculpting, Inventing, Handiness, Nectar Making, Mixology, Martial Arts, Athletic Skill, Cooking, Fishing, Gardening, and Logic, and has no other skills. Kallistrata is of blood type B just like [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|Kallisto]] from whom Kallistrata is cloned from.
 
Kallistrata is a powerful psyker just like Kallisto, whose rumors led to the actual interest and development of the said abilities. Kallistrata specializes in telepathy and other mind manipulations, having successfully telepathically persuaded a Unicorn and having weakened the already feeble psychic resistances of several sims to facilitate usage of more intrusive psychic abilities.

== Paving the Road ==
 
Although Kallistrata moved alone, for some reason Kallistrata decides to get a body of retinue. Kallistrata proceeds with the plan, gaining for the retinue who would be collectively called the Mathetai, or disciples. Despite their incredibly fast relation building and skill development, the time the retinue spent under Kallistrata's tutelage was minimal. However, [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakousia|Kallisto]] found this an interesting phenomenon, and soon looks to this case as a shining example of an organized academic discipleship system outside school.

Thus without the movement of the Alkmaionidai to take in Kallistrata, Kallisto seized the chance and scouted Kallistrata, eventually taking Kallistrata into the fold of the [[Fanon:Union of the InsaneEcclesiarchy|Union of the Insane]].
 
==Settling in==
Despite the fact that the Alkmaionid Kleisthenes took Kallistrata well, Kallistrata was pretty much a nobody among the other members, some of them just not willing to put up with another "overskilled" insane sim who will just transfer out. Thus without the movement of the Alkmaionidai to take in Kallistrata, Kallisto seized the chance and scouted Kallistrata, eventually taking Kallistrata into the fold of the [[Fanon:Union of the Insane|Union of the Insane]].
Even in her initial adoption to the great faction, Kallistrata started out as number 3 in the faction known for its prodigious erudition, surpassed only by {{Fanon|Kallisto Syrakosia|Kallisto}} and {{Fanon|Hypatia Pydnaia|Hypatia}}. Kallistrata's clean record prompted her to be a watchdog against more romances, although that position proved to be moot since the members that went rogue in the Romance Heresy grew much more resistant to it after the travesty. However, given the sheer number of skilled sims, Kallistrata seemed to be at the middle: while Kallistrata was #3, Kallistrata hasn't found a unique field in which Kallistrata excels: Kallisto was the head, and Hypatia had been the tutor even before Kallistrata was.
==Rise of the Librarian==
Kallistrata was alongside Kallisto and Hypatia as one of the most skilled sim even in the uber-household known for almost unnatural presence of skills. Kallistrata was originally named the Inquisitor to smash romance: however, that role was of minimal importance, due to Eurydike's withdrawal from romance, as well as Hypatia's ebbing interest in romance as well as the current loss of Stratonike and Lysistrata. Kallistrata yearned for a different role, and decided to codify the doctrine in actual documents: The first, the codex itself, was a hit, and Kallistrata was encouraged to make more doctrinal documents, although such efforts met with much less success.
 
However, Kallistrata found a niche: In the day of the opening of the public Amphitheatron and the party, Kallistrata was invited to [[Thornton Wolff]]'s house at nearly the end of the party: Kallistrata was already a good friend of Thornton, and Kallistrata believed that it was a time of proselytizing even when the role of missionary was with Eurydike. Thornton was quite amused by Kallistrata, but when Kallistrata offered skill lessons, Thornton learned at an alarming rate thanks to both the Vampiric vigor and Kallistrata's Skill Professor challenge: it was so fast (Thornton gained 5 points in logic and 4 points in mixology in less than 2 hours) that Thornton was impressed, or to put it in better words, enthusiastic about the new religion and became the first convert to the cause. Kallistrata was too eager to use the new convert to divert the kids from the main Union household, because Kallisto and Kallistrata wanted Lysistrata and Stratonike back into the house. Morgana eventually returned, and Kallistrata attempted to do similar things, although with much less success, even though Morgana was definitely happy about the idea of children in the house.[[File:KallistrataEatsAmbrosia.png|thumb|Kallistrata eats Ambrosia for the moodlet.]]

Kallistrata is also the head of the nectar production in the family, having a good combination of life fruits, fire fruits and a condiment, often a pomegranate, that Kallistrata calls the Nectar of the Throne of Pella, many of them aged well enough to reach the 1000 simoleon bracket, and the primary producer of Nectar in the neighborhood, as well as the chief gardener of Union of the Insane. Kallistrata also is an active evangelist, particularly among vampire population of Sunset Valley.

==Mercantilist Movements==
Although Kallisto was the one promoting the idea of mercantilism in the house, it was Kallistrata who spearheaded it as the vanguard: Kallistrata's startedwork byas expandinga onnectar hermaker, niche:a field that was neglected within the nectarEcclesiarchy makingbefore, byexpanded even more as the Ecclesiarchy buyingpurchased 3 more [[L'amour des Fruits Nectar Maker|Nectar Makers]], quadrupling Kallistrata's production capabilities, and continued to expand afterwards (by the time the Big 6 were trying to redevelop Hekatonschoinos, Kallistrata had 15 of such devices ready). In addition to that, Kallisto and others supported Kallistrata's pursuit by sculpting nectar racks. In matter of days, production jumped from merely few bottles a week to tenshundreds of bottles of nectar, moredrastically thanincreasing doublingthe income derived from Nectar. To support the increased production capabilities, Kallistrata personally oversaw the expansion of the Life Fruit production, the main ingredient in Kallistratathe Greek household's brand of nectar. In fact, Kallistrata would soon oversee all aspects of gardening of the Main ChurchHeadquarters, and ensured that the discipleddisciples had some experience in the field as well. [[File:UpgradingNectary.png|thumb|The Union Sims upgrading the nectar making facilities.]]
 
Kallistrata's nectar however did not generate much income back then, since most of the money came from old nectar that aged quite a lot. HoweverNonetheless, Kallistrata spearheaded the movement and continued to experiment, galvanizing others to produce more,. leadingThis towould the Union of the Insane'slater insane successresult in the mercantilist March of the 500k, where the householdUnion wouldof earnthe moreInsane (not yet Ecclesiarchy) would thanmake +500k in merely 6 days.
 
However, Kallistrata's drive didn't stop there: noting the decline in the quality of the nectar after the expansion due to the lack of perfect fruits, Kallistrata first purged the Union inventory of all nonperfect fruits, and further expanded the garden as the chief gardener, inventor, teacher and Nectar maker of the Union of the Insane. Once that was completed, Kallistrata saw even better quality than the pre-expansion nectar, and Kallistrata carefully managed her assets to ensure top quality wine for sale. All while that was happening, all the other core members devoted themselves to making top quality paintings and sculptings, making many masterpieces left in the household to fetch good prices.

In terms of managing the internal matters of the Church, Kallistrata made the knowledge of cheaper loans a public thing around the faithful. However, the ones that wanted the loans were not initiate members as Kallistrata wanted to believe, but rather the Klerouchoi, who despite the blessings of the Church had difficulty settling in for the most part: the Kang family eventually found a footing, but the Kagawa family mostly worked as merchants: a poor choice, due to low population of the neighborhood to a point where the elderly Iori took a job as a Test Subject. Kallistrata was also a firm supporter of centralization to a point where Kallistrata championed the idea of a consolidated core household, and to do away with the resident disciple system. Kallisto and Stratonike however disagreed, and the resident disciple system and the multiple main chapters would remain.
==Surprise Visit and the Quest for the Omni Plant==
Kallistrata, like all the other members of the Hekatonschoinos Chapter, visited Sunset Valley in a surprise that had already compounded with many other happy events in Sunset Valley. From the records, Kallistrata soon figured that the primary limiting factor for the mass production of ambrosia had been the lack of death fishes: despite the fact that the harvesting of death fishes by the Church (or any sim in the fanon history) was at all -time high, Kallistrata and the others knew that it still was the primary limiting factor. However, Kallistrata hit the tomes recording the history of the fanon universe, and hit upon an entry written by Hypatia in the first timeline, when the Scholars' Alliance was created. Hypatia noted of some plant that took as an input things, including death fishes and life fruits and yielded several more, and on top of all that, the plants did not perish.
 
Kallistrata knew that the plant was the way to maximize the efficacy of Hypatia and Eurydike's revival business that had been very effective in turning public opinion in the favor of the Church by eliminating the need to constantly catch and store a stock of death fish (asides from one to feed the plant). Conveniently enough, Kallisto was contacted about raising cheese plants: Kallistrata had surfed the web like how Stratonike surfed the web and gathered information about the Death Flower, and it was Kallistrata who personally led the project, despite the Church's disdain for cheese. The Omni Plant's lack of lifespan was also desired by Kallistrata: Kallistrata was not happy about continually having to replant important stocks of fruits such as the life fruit (to the point where Kallistrata maintains a stock of 400 on her, and Kallisto et al. also have smaller stocks) that is the heart of Kallistrata's Nectar industry. Having an solid supply of life plants would allow Kallistrata not only to keep producing the fruits needed to maintain the nectar output, but also Kallistrata's plan to apply the similar logic used to create a Simbot to create a vessel for Megas Alexandros: after all, they had cloning technologies and succeeded in restoring recently deceased sims: who is to say that the Church cannot bring old figures back to life?

==March of Million==
It was Kallistrata who started the idea of Ecclesiarchal mercantilism, and Kallistrata kept the momentum high, demonstrating the mercantilist momentum by raising almost a million simoleon in a single run. The shock and awe associated with such an enormous sale rattled the Hekatonschoinos community, as well as Kallisto herself. On the other hand, many families, including the Kang family, were on financial support given the unwise spending, a lack of incentive for job progression, and huge bills associated with relatively lavish lifestyles. Kallisto had subsidized the people, but now seriously considered an expansion of Hekatonschoinos, specifically to cater to the lower-class people: Kallisto and Kallistrata had undertaken the Ptochoi project on the Persis road on the Lower Nome, but that wasn't enough. Given the lack of affordable housing, Kallistrata had in mind another renovation...
 
==Enter a New Frontier==
A byproduct of the time warping technology that the Ecclesiarchy possessed, Kallistrata had an alternate world version of herself in the name of Kallistrata Neapolita, alongside the nearly identical counterpart to Hyperion. Settling in the southeastern side of Willow Creek, they had become initially monklike, preferring the presence of each other to the townsfolk out there, effectively replicating the Alkmaionid policy when they first entered the Time Paradox storyline.
 
However, this isolationist and academic policy couldn't last long given Hyperion's career choice of Secret Agent, meaning socializing with the townsfolk was necessary. In the process of socialization largely geared towards having Hyperion promoted, Kallistrata herself also met up with several people. Kallistrata's first contact with the outsiders began with the visit to the gym, where Kallistrata would meet with several people like [[Don Lothario]], [[Malcolm Landgraab]], [[Eliza Pancakes]], [[Marlon Langley]], and [[Kendall Sexton]], of which only the last 2 would remain contact with the Hellenis.
 
This initial encounters with the foreigners would further expand, making room for more xenoi such as [[Shauna Person]], who would eventually become Kallistrata's first good xenos friend and thus an eligible candidate for proxene title. While Marlon and Kendall found Hyperion the guy to associate with (after all, Hyperion needed the friendship), Shauna was closer to Kallistrata than she was to Hyperion, although Shauna was a friend of Hyperion nonetheless. The wondrously skilled Greeks doing feats like launching rockets into space gathered a lot of attention, and eventually, sims outside the original Willow Creek started to flock towards the Greeks. One such outsider, named Jeanette Dupree, would become a houseguest.

==Trivia==
* Kallistrata here is a sim depiction of my first original character, which has its limitation. As an original character, Kallistrata is a full android with the biological-looking arm on the right and mechanical-looking arm on the left. Also, Kallistrata has no chest region at all. The OC Kallistrata is not a genius, although Kallistrata does maintain a facade of it given high data-processing skill and more so due to Kallistrata's ability to learn and adapt.
 
* Kallistrata's log states that the type of food that Kallistrata had prepared the most was the Ambrosia.
 
* Kallistrata's sales reach nearly 2 million simoleons, and the log records more than 1.7 million simoleons in nectar sale. However, the most noted product, the Inflammatory Rejuvenation Nectar is of Kallisto's design, not Kallistrata's.

:*<del>However, given that mods were required to do this and the limitation on minimum breast size on Sims 4, Kallistrata as Kallistrata Neapolita doesn't sport glorious flat chest, although she still sports minimal size.</del> Thanks to the Breast Augmentation mod, Kallistrata as Kallistrata Neapolita finally sports the flat chest that is an essential part of her character!
* Like Lysistrata, Kallistrata can also be transliterated Kallistrate, although like Lysistrata the -a ending is of better use since Pella had been of Macedonia, predominantly influenced by Doric and later using Koine Greek. (It does beg the argument of the current time period, but then, Koine Greek and Attic Greek (of which the latter was according to Toynbee made official by Phillipos II, although Koine was the language of choice by the time of the Successor Kingdoms) is favored by the Big 6 due to the presence of Eurydike and Stratonike)
* Under the Sims 3 Kinsey Scale, Kallistrata rates -100 in affinity level for both sexes, set that way as a setting. This is shared with Kallisto, while Hypatia, Eurydike, Stratonike, and Lysistrata share a lower absolute value in the same direction. Now the Kinsey scale rating has gone up to -50000, and it became standard for all of the Big 6.
* Kallistrata iswas the only Fanon Sim to link to [[WooHooium]] , and one of the 3 pages that does link to WooHooium. However, the addition of [[Fanon:Gwendoline Dee|Gwendoline Dee]] has broken this title.
* While Kallistrata has a negative view of romantic relationship based on heterosexuality which can be partially attributed to the Ecclesiarchy's understanding of Platon's Phaidros, Kallistrata is much more favorable withtowards (particularly male) homosexuality. However, Kallistrata (and the other members of the Big 6 for that matter) has a rather distorted understanding of modern homosexuality, as Kallistrata's imagery is derived from part more humorous gay shippings, similar to say Taric x Ezreal and part Ancient Greek pederasty and part the said understanding of Platon's text.
