History:
The Reed family once had the ability to shapeshift into the fabled phoenix bird and could recreate the abilities of this great bird, however through the centuries the mixing of different species of shapeshifter, caused this grand ability to devolve into shapshifting into an eagle. However this never stopped the want for a Phoenix shapeshifter to be born once again. With this in mind, Cali's fate was sealed before she was even born, she would be different from her family.
Her mother, Melissa, an eagle shapeshifter, a good woman in her community in Scotland, found out that her son, Robert, was dying of a mysterious illness. Her husband, Daniel, who too a bird shifter, told her he'd make a deal, his shapeshifting ability for the boy's life. However when calling a powerful shapeshifter named Teivel, who was too a descendant of the phoenix shapeshifters. Daniel was told that Teivel wanted something else, a child with the shapeshifting abilities of one of their ancestors, the ability to shapeshift into a phoenix bird. Daniel went back to his wife to tell her that no deal had been made. However he didn't make it home, Teivel made sure he didn't get home. Teivel made contact with Melissa and told her that before he died, Daniel had already made the deal. However the deal Teivel told her was that in order for Robert to live, he was allow to sleep with Melissa for one night. Unknown to Melissa a night with a fire demon would recreate the phoenix blood line in her family.
Teivel told Melissa that once the baby was born, she would be taken away and live with him, however, this did not happen, as because of another deal, Teivel simply disappeared from the world, Melissa assumed he had been killed, and was glad of this, now her family could try and rebuild after her husbands death. This was not to be the case, as when Cali was seven her mother died in as a result of crossfire between two supernatural beings. Cali never learned who or why there was a fight, she doesn't want to know.
After this happened Cali was set to live with her named guardian's along with her brother, a nun named Mary Joy. Growing up, Cali was a handful. The sisters' cross to bare. She would sneak out, and go drinking or flying. She didn't care, she had no living family after her brother left a few years before. Cali soon found out the truth, she was out in the grounds of the house down from the church, when two sisters were talking, they were talking about Robert, Cali's brother and how he was on the trail of Teivel. Cali asked her legal guardian, sister Mary Joy about it all and she came clean, not wanting to lie to the girl. She gave her a letter written by her mother which explained everything, almost. Cali found it difficult to learn the real reason she had the abilities of the phoenix, when her mother was a simple eagle shifter. She didn't know how to handle it, so she spoke to Mary again. All didn't go well, Sister Mary told Cali that she was an evil being as Teivel was evil and her birth father. She said many true things and Cali got angry, so went out. When she returned to Sister Mary was raging, she tried to discipline Cali, but it never happened. Cali got even more angry, and in her drunk rage, she turned into her phoenix form to fly away, however as she left, shrieking, she left Mary Joy deaf for a few hours. Because Mary Joy couldn't hear, she never heard the fire alarm in the house go off as she slept in her bed, and died in the fire. When Cali returned she ran into the housing but found her only motherly figure, dead. Cali was distraught, and soon her brother came back to help her get through it and handle the extra abilities she had when she was in her phoenix form.
Soon Cali broke away from her brother as he travelled Scotland and came to England in hopes to escape her past and to right the wrongs she and her father had done. Cali got in contact with Mary Joy's brother, a member of the Vatican and he asked her to stay in the city and maybe to help those that need assistance there. She hasn't gotten a perminate job as she and her brother can live from their parents inheritance.

RP Sample:
Cali stood and looked up at the large ominous doors infront of her. They stood out considering the state of the rest of the building that held up the doors. In fact, it seemed at looking over everything, that the door held up the building. The sturdy wooden doors, held in place by three massive hinges on each side just screamed 'kick me open'. Cali, always one for an entrance, turned and stretched out her leg so her foot connected with the door, sending the wooden planks barrelling into the empty warehouse.
Cali stepped into the warehouse, following the carpet of setting sun light, that was created by the now opened door. She placed her hands on her hips and looked about, it was dark, dank and smelled really badly. It was worse than that frat house she'd seen when visiting a college not too long ago. Moving slowly forward, Cali called out for anyone who was in the warehouse to identify themselves.
Cali had been sent to this place to find out why a sudden rise in supernatural activity had happened. Generally she wasn't the person for these kind of jobs, a member of the Fifth would go, however she had been here before, well, kind of. Her past self had been here, it was a long time ago and the place had certainly changed. The warehouse was once a hive of activity, now it was derelict, breeding ground for lower evils, vampires for example.
Cali started to look about the place, but there was nothing there, an entrance spoiled on moths and mice. She headed back out in time to see the sun set over a sand dune horizon. The sky was a rich red and yellow colour with hints of dark blue creeping over it, commanding the sun to set so the moon could shine. Cali felt drawn to the sun, always had, probably the whole fire thing, regeneration and all. She headed back to the car waiting for her by the dirt track.
The jeep wasn't really her idea, Cali could move quickly and easily through other means, but never mind. She threw her things in the back seat and got into the drivers side, ready to report back that this trip had been a giant waste of her time! maybe next time.
